shoe FACTORY
May GET ORDER
FOR NAVY SHOES
$4,000 Pairs in Job for which
Tewns Are in Com
petition.
REQUIRES 3 WEEKS TO
FINISH ARMY BOOTS
Navy Shoes to be Done in Black
and With High Grade
Workmanship.

Special efforts now are being made
at the Cape shoe factory to complete
the consignment of Government army
shoes that are being manufactured
there, in order to make way for con-
signment Of $4,000 pairs of navy
shoes, it became known last night.
1t is estimated that the factory will
be kept busy for the next three weeks
on the army shoes and if the contract
for the navy shoes is assigned to this
factory, the workmen will be engaged
on that job for another period of two
months.
Several of the factories of the In
ternatiOnal Shoe Co., of which this is
branch, are trying to get the navy
assignment, but it is said that by rea-
son of the fact that the Cape factory
is equipped to turn out better quail
ity of shoes than many Of the other
factories, it is probable that the Cape
will be given preference over other
competitors for the job.
The navy shoe is much like the ar
my shoe and the Government requires
the last word in substantial shoe max
ing in either case. The navy shoe is
finished black, however, rather than
tan, as the army shoe is turned out
Likewise it is said that little finer
workmanship is placed on the finished
navy shoe than the army footgear.
The leather soles Of the shoes are
not sanded, however, as are shoes
made for the. market, for the reason
that it is estimated about a months
wear is removed in the sanding pro-
cesses.
In turning out the present army
contract, but few pairs of the shoes
have been refused by the Government
inspectors. An inspector is posted in
the factory to examine the shoes in
course of their manufacture, and when
defects are located, the shoe is thrown
aside.
On account Of the strict inspection
made in the quality of the shoes the
factory has cut down the rapidity of
its output from 200 or 22O racks a day
to 40.

EASTERN HONEYMOON;
TO LIVE IN ARKANSAS
Bridegroom Is Well Known in
Cape-Mansges Branch
Typewriter Office.

Jeanette Gertrude McClatchey.
younger daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Sam McClatchey, will be married
Thanksgiving Day to J. F. Schad, we'll
known typewriter salesman, it became
known yesterday. The couple will be
welded following a typewriter ro-
nance, and Immediately after the mar
rage they will depart on an extended
honeymoon trip in the East.
The wedding will be held at st. Vim

to have Father Walsh perform the
ceremony. The couple will make their

visit with Mr. Schad's relatives at
Richmond, Va.
About three years ago, Schad came
to the Cape as typewriter salesman.
He was detailed to go to the office of
Attorney H. E. Alexander to clean and
repair one Of his machines.
The typist on the job was Miss
Frieda McClatehey, older sister Of the
bride-to-be. While making the repairs
to the machine, Schad cultivated his
acquaintance with the typist who be-
longed to it, with the result that he
became a visitor at the McClatchey
home.
He then met the younger sister and
his courtship commenced. They have
been engaged for the last three or four
months, although members OF the fam
lily and intimate friends have been the
only ones who knew of the engagement
and their wedding plans.
Mr.. Schad now is branch manager
for the Underwood Typewriter Com
pany with headquarters at Little Rock.
He is 80 years old and came West
about three years ago from his home
in Virginia. His bride has been reared

old on October 90.
On their honeymoon trip they ex-
pect to visit Washington, Mount Yer
non, Arlington. Norfolk and many
other Eastern places.

WOLVES RAlDINC
PEMISCOT FARMS
Senator Hawkins Pig Pen Is In
vaded by Pack and Thirty
ShOats Taken.

Wolves that have been driven from
the swamp lands by the drainage work
are invading farms and killing live
stock, according to reports from the
lower counties of Southeast Missouri
Many farmers have lost sheep, pigs
and in some instances calves have been
killed by packs of the timber wolves
Senator Charles P. Hawkins of Ken
nett, Mo-, is the latest victim of these
beasts.
He owns a farm in Pemiscot Coun-
ty where he raises live stock, prin-
cipally hogs. Last week about so
shoats were killed and carried away
by pack of wolves. The wolves raid
ed his hog lot two nights in success
sion. In some instances the shoats
were killed and devoured in the pen,
but skeletons found some distance
from the scene of the capture, showed
that the wolves had carried some hogs
away with them.
During the past few years great
quantities of timber has been cut from
the lower counties, and on top of this
has come the drainage project, thus
making it necessary for the wolves to
seek new lairs. The Wisconsin Lum-
Der Co. owns tract Of more than 100,-
600 acres of timber land, part of which
is in Missouri and the other in Arkan-
sas. Senator Hawkins Pemiscot farm
skirts the great forest, which has been
made the rendezvous for the wolves.
Every night packs of wolves emerge
from the lumber company's forest and
raid farms which lie in the adjacent
country.
The wolves are more numerous this
year than ever before in the lower
counties, and farmers can only account
for 1t through the march of civilization
which has removed the forests and is
now retaining the hogs which here
tofore have protected the wolf.

his fight.
He declared that never chad a more

STOLEN MOTOR CAR
WRECKED ON BRIDGE
William Musgrave's Auto Is
Smashed at Seven Mile
Post BY Joy-rider.

A lOyrider who last night apprO-
priated the touring car of William
Musgrave, a farmer living near Rum
Branch, to his own use, drove to the
Seven Mile bridge on the jackson road
where he wrecked the machine against
the bridge and abandoned it.
The car was found late last night
by the owner after he had instituted a
search and enlisted the aid Of the po-
lice in his hunt for his machine.
Musgrave drove into the Cape last
night with a party Of friends and left
the machine, which was a Ford tour
ing car, standing on the levee near the
place where the Frisco is doing river
improvement work. He had been gone
from his machine but a short time
when he returned and discovered that
it was missing.
Persons neraby told him and the po-
lice that they had seen a man who
weighed about 200 pounds, wore a
light hat and had his sleeves rolled up
to The elbow, drive the car away.
Nothing more could be learned in the
Cape.
The night marshal at Jackson was
called about II o'clock and he said that
he had Just been accostcd by a man
conforming with the description given.
The man wanted to know how to drive
back to the Cape and received his di-
rections.
When Musgrave learned that, he
started out in another car on the Jack
road to look for his car on the return
trip. He continued till he discovered
the machine piled up at Seven-Mile
bridge. The car was identified as his
own, and it was wrecked so badly that
Il could not be repaired or brought in
to the Cape last night.
From the nature of the smash-up, it
ras believed that the driver must have
an injury, but nothing could
,e found of him.

POLICE TO PUT
Lid ON FOREIGN
PAPER PEDDLERS
Solicitors to Defend Right to
Interview Farmers
on Streets.
CITY ATTORNEY SAYS
SUBSCRIBERS COMPLAIN
Chief HutsOn Issues Order That
CurbstOne Men Must be
Suppressed.

A number of solicitors for farm
journals and newspapers, commonly
known as "Shee men," last night sur
sounded c. F. Stone on Main street
when he delivered orders for them to
discontinue their practices within the
city. The offenders became very in
dignant, and assumed threatening
attitude. When they closed in on the
officer he was compelled to threaten
them with immediate arrest if they did
not dispense. They made no further
effort to detain him, but persistently
defed him to show his authority for
denying them the privilege of plying
their vocations on the street.
City Attorney, r. Fl. Whitelaw, stat
ed that he had advised the officer to
forcibly stop the operations of these
men, against whom he said complaints
were constantly being made, by farm
ers and others who were duped into
subscribing for paper, for which they
paid a dollar and received a cheap
knife or some other prize of little
value. Mr. Whitelaw stated that he
had been informed that but few sub
scribers ever received a paper, and
that the whole scheme was to evade
paying license for peddling the
worthless prizes, and that the so-called
subscription to the paper was fraud.
H. L. Wyninegar, one of the vic
tins of the raid, stated that he was
duly authorized to solicit subscriptions
for the Journal of Agriculture, and the
that he had been thus employed for
about four years. He said that he had
been working in this city for about six
months, and had never at any time re-
ceived complaints from any patron on
account of nondelivery OF the paper.
He said that for the past few days he
had Keen annoyed by police officers
who would call his customers away
when he was in the act of negotiat-
ing a deal with them, and that he in
tended to appeal to the paper employ
ing him for legal assistance in enioin-
ing the authorities from such further
interference.
Earl Burke, another solicitor, au-
-thorized by the Compton Bros. Co., Of
Findlay, Ohio, last night wired his firm
for legal assistance in the protection
of his interest against the city author
ties He stated that while he would
receive No advice from them until this
morning, he had gone with five other
solicitors, to consult a local attorney.
and upon his advice they intended to
defy the orders issued by the police
and the city attorney.
Chief Hutson announced last night
that no further operations Of that
character would be permitted and any
attempt to continue would be followed
with an immediate arrest.

in Leslie Patton's Big Horn,
and Instrument Refuses to
Investigation Re-
veals Trouble.

A pair of socks, lodged in the music
factory of Leslie Patton's big saxo-
phone, threw DR.. Schuchert's whole
concert band out of tune a few nights
ago.
The band was praeticing for a COM
ing engagement in DR.. Schuchert's
private conservatory, and Director
Schuchert was urging the musicians
to get into harmony. Mr.. Patton's in
strument did not come into play at the
opening of the selection, but was sup
posed to make harmony in the chorus.
"Wh-ee-ee-k-k!" squawked the saxo-
phone, and DR.. Schuchert looked at Mr..
Patton and scowled. whats matter
over there, Leslie?" asked the leader
Of the band.
Stomach trouble, | think, Doc" re-
piled Mr.. Patton, and he took the ma
chine end out Of his mouth and gave
the horn a stiff shake. Then he at
tempted to harmonic again, but the
result was the same.
After the selection had been finish
ed, Mr.. Patton gave the saxophone a
rigid examination, expecting to find a
leak in the windpipe, but apparently
the instrument was in good health.
When DR.. Schuchert selected the
next piece, Mr.. Patton showed the
gable end of the saxophone into his
face and blew hard. The instrument
emitted a squawk that indicated it was
in distress.
"Choke that thing; you're putting
the whole band on the fritz" shouted
DR.. Schuchert above the din Of the mu-
sic, and Hr. Patton propped his ma.
chine against the railing and rested
during that round.
When the musicians finished the Sc.
lection, DR.. Schuchert announced he
would take a look at the saxophone
After tampering with it for a few mo.
ments, he decided he would watch
down the big horn while Mfr. Pattor
turned in some wind. "Now give us
some air, Leslie" urged the leader
and Nr. Patton emptied his lungs.
"Wheww screamed DR.. Schuchert
"Somehodv has crawled info that horn
and persisted.
Hr. Patton decided to pour some
water into the Saxophone and wash
out the obstruction. While DR.. Schu-
ebert held the instrument, Mr.. Patton
poured. The water soon bubbled out OF
the mouthpiece, but it brought no re-
lief to the saxophone.
They then procured wire rod and
pushed it into the horn. Near the
stomach of the saxophone, he located
the trouble. The passageway had
been completely closed But after
some effort the rod dislodged the con-
gestion and both DR.. Schuchert and
Mr.. Patton gasped as pair of soiled
silk hose emerged at the top of the
horn.
Mr.. Patton has since learned that
the socks were showed into the saxO-
phone by a member Of the band while
the musicians we're returning from
Jackson at the close Of the last night
of Homecomers, where DR.. Schuchert's
band has finished an engagement.
