dance. A number Of other Cape Cir
ardeau women, who have reached the
age of 60. will be asked to Join in the
quadriile dance.
The quadrille, although regarded by
dancing masters as one Of the most re-
fined of all terpsichorcan steps, has
not been popular since ante-bellum
days. Abraham Lincoln danced the
uuadrille to a sublime degree. 1t was
his favorite dance although he was
called a cat when it came to waltz
ing. The bunny hug. the fox trot and
other steps that have been populariZed

LincoIn's time.
Mrs. Ella Dempsey conceived the
idea and it made an instantaneous hit.
Every member present agreed that Il

will be obtained from this dance to
make up the sum needed to insure the
construction of the pagoda.

FL Paso. Nov. 23.-While Carran-
zistaS claim that General Villa was
decisively in the second battle near
chihuahua City shortly before noon
today. reports that we're obtained from
other sources Indicate that Villa WAS
the successful combatant in this bat
tie. 1t is conceded by CarranzistaS
that Villa does not need Chihuahua
to clinch the control of Northern Mex
leo. 1t is said that he merely seeks
i. stronger foOthold in the north IN
order to show what he can do against
the enemy.
The heaviest fighting Was encounter
ed on the south side of the city, near
the Guggenheim properties. The loss
es on both sides were very heavy, It
was stated. Villa is said to have had
personal command of the troops that
fought in the southern part Of the city.
Another band took possession Of the
western part Of the city, but refrain
ed from fighting. At JUarcZ Carran-
zistas admitted that General TrClino
was defending Chihuahua City. 1t is
said that shortage Of ammunition
has hindercd the attack greatly. Al
though teIegraphic communication
with. Chihuahua was still maintained,
few details as to the result of the bat
tie were obtainablc.
Military expert, at Fort Bliss arc
inclined to believe that Villa Will
throw his forces that are concentrated
on the west side Of the city against
TrevinO under the cover Of darkness.
The defenders are largely estimated
from 1000 to 5000. Intense excite
ment prevailed at Juarez tonight
where the rumor was current thai
Villa had grabbed heavy loot in Chi
huahua City. 1t is possible that Sli-
pout and his forces are holding the
city. A report of late tonight stated
that reguee train had left chihuahua
City after the fighting had begun.

IS YEAR OLDLAD
Wins End PRIZE
IN CORN CONTEST
Harold Lewis, a Cape County
Boy, Produces 81 Bushels
on One Acre of Ground.
SHANNON COUNTY is
GIVEN FIRST PRIZE
Eric Palmer of Rminence Gar
nered 107 Bushels From One
Acre Field-Crop Slumps.

Harold Lewis, 15-year old Cape
County boy, won the second prize in
the annual corn contest, held by the
Cape Normal School, under the super
vision Of Seth Babcock, the wel-known
agricultural expert.
Farmers living in all sections of
Southeast Missouri participated in the
contest. Eric Palmer, of Eminence,
Shannon County, who produced slight
ly more than 107 bushels of corn on
an acre of ground, carried away the
highest honor, according to the list
of awards announced by Prof. Babcock
last night. Palmer is 20 years old.
Young Lewis, who lives a few miles
southwest of this city, produced 81
bushels of corn on an acre of ground,
which he titled alone. This lads rec
ord is remarkable because of his youth
and his inexperience. When he an
nounced that he was going to compete
with the champion farmers of South
east Missouri, his parents told him he
was only wasting his efforts, but they
wished him good luck.
He prepared the ground according
to the rules laid down by Prof. Bah
cock, and he followed the advice of
the Normal expert to the letter in TAX
ing care of the crop. His success was
the boast of the neighborhood, and
veteran farmers came miles to inspect
the growing corn and see the youthful
agriculturiSt in action.
His acre of corn made his fathers
crop look like the work of an amateur.
When the stalks quit growing and be-
gan to take on a comber hue, they
stood like saplings with ears foot
long hanging two on stalk.
Prof. Babcock stated last night that
Harold was the youngest farmer to
land a prize The child's efforts came
as a distinct surprise to Mr.. Babcock.
Palmer, who captured the first
award, has a reputation as a champion
corn grower. Last year he produced
12l bushels Of corn on the same acre
of ground that grew 107, this year.
Prof. Babcack stated that there was
4 noticeable decrease in the yield IN
almost every locality this year as COM
pared with the crop grown last season.
This is attributed to the unreasonable
wear. which showed a slump IN the
production of all kinds of grain
throughout the country.
The yields of the prize winners IN
the 1916 contest, as announced by
Prof. Babcock, were:
Eric Palmer's yield was 105 bushels
and 9 pounds; Harold Lewis gathered
in 81 bushels and 312 pounds of corn.
Matthias Brown of Catawissa, Frank
lin County, 90 bushels; Richard Hop
per of Sikeston, Scott County, 81
bushels and 10 pounds; Fank 1ount,
Quaker. Washington County, 76 bush
els and 20 pounds; William Stun
baughn, Jewett, Madison County, 20
bushels and 10 pounds; Claude Ed
wards, Holland, Pemiscott County, 81
bushels and 55 pounds; Samuel Nc
Kee. Zalma, Bollinger County, 30
bushels and 81 pounds; Ernest Funk,
Annapolis, Iron County, 522 bushels
and IS pounds; Eric Duncan, Pied
mont. Wayne County, 45 bushels.

MYSTERIOUS POPULARITY.

Long before, and since the convention, every republican newspaper has been preaching har- mony between the leaders of both the republican and progressive parties: and according to tele graphic news, success has crowned their efforts They have pointed out that in order to return the party to power. they must unite and togeth- CT fight the democrats out of office.

 The old guards nominated Hughes. not be cause they wanted him, but because they knew they could not handle Teddy. and they preferred to take their chances with g new man than feel the lash of the old whip again. Such being the case. why then. should the progressives-for the sake of harmony that can only result in giv- ing the old guards the upper hand-give up the man whom they know to be real leader for g man the country knows practically nothing about Hatred and spite of the old guards de feated Roosevelt for the nomination If it was impossible for them to forget for the sake of harmony; why should they demand more than they are willing to grant themselves It is true that the progressives have nothing against Hughes, but Hughes Is not the leader of the party. he is merely the tool of the leaders.
 Of Justice Hughes himself. his popularity may be said to be one of the inexplicable features of the present campaign Not that he is without achievement, for he has done considerable, yet he has done nothing that can justify the conf dence of the people that he is the great man the country need It Is different with Roosevelt He proved his metal.

Stopping Runaways
 Incapacitated Lynch

Policeman Patrick J. Lynch, at tached to the third precinct station, living at 697 Iraniston avenue, who recently was injured in Hopping the second runaway in two days, has re- turned to service after a short leave of absence.
 On Friday, in front of Sacred Heart school on Park and South avenues he prevented probable injury to several children as a. runaway team attached to a milk wagon was grabbed by the officer and brought to a standstil be- fore the horses reached the crossing where the children were standing.
 On Saturday noon on State street near Park avenue. when the police man had just left traffic duty, screams Of women attracted his attention and he turned around to see a horse at tached to a light delivery wagon be- yond control of driver. He stepped in to the street, grabbed the reins, which were held taut by the frightened driver The driver collapsed and loosened his hold on the horses, which threw Lynch against the horse, pain fully straining the muscles of his back. The following day the pain was so aggravated that the officer was compelled to report off duty.
