friends who surprised them or the

The couple, who are we'll known in

The wedding was performed by Rev.

''stood up" with the bridal couple

bride and then Miss Emma Pott, and
Miss Lettie Fisher, a sister of the

COUSINS, APART IS
YEARS, MEET HERE
Mrs. Anna Mueller and Relative
Recognize Each Other at Sight
Last Met as Girls.

After an elapse of thirty-five years,
during which time neither saw the
other, Mrs. Anna Mueller, of this city,
and Mrs. Marie klages, of Akron, O.,
met at the station here and recog-
nized each other at sight.
Mrs. Mueller is one of the well
known ladies Of Cape Girardeau. This
has been her home since she was a
child. Mrs. Klages, who is first cou-
sin Of Mrs. Mueller, was born and
reared in Hanover. Germany. Thirty
five years ago she married and came
TO America on honeymoon, locating
with her husband at Akron.
Mrs. Mueller, who was but a girl
then, had never seen her cousin. She
went with her relatives to Akron to
meet Mr.. klages and his bride. They
corresponded regularly after Mrs.
Mueller had returned to her home in
Cape Girardeau, but that was the last
time they met.
The distance between the two cities
kept them apart for thirty-five years.
A week ago Mrs. Klages, who is now
widow, accompanied her son Louis
out west to claim his bride. After
the marriage ceremony the bride and
groom departed on their honeymoon.
MIS-. KIages ST., decided she would
take advantage of the opportunity to
visit her relatives in Cape Girardeau,
and she notified Mrs. Mueller of her
plans, and stated when she would
reach this city. She had never seen
Cape Girardeau before, and Mrs.
Mueller and her daughter, Miss Helen,
a teacher in the Jefferson school, went
to the station to meet Mrs. Klages.
Mrs Mueller's and Mrs. Klages'
eyes met. Both smiled simultaneous
ly, ard their thoughts went scamper-
ing back over memory's dim horizon.
1t was thirty-fve years ago that they
had smiled at each other last. Both
were but girls then. Now they are
mothers of children older than Mrs
Mueller and Mrs. Klages were when
they last met.
Mrs. K!ages is going to make q
good long stay at the Mueller home
to make up for the long, long absence
between visits. Mrs. Mueller has ar
ranged a series of entertainments for
her cousin, and the Ohio visitor is
being made to wildly realize what
she has missed by living thirty-fve
years in the United States without
even visiting little old Cape Girardeau.

CULTIVATE YOUR
CORN CAREFULLY
URGES ADVISER
BY c. VI. McWILLIAMS
County AGENT

Now is the time to do the most
careful cultivating OF corn. The first
and second plowings may well be
deeper than succeeding ones. Weeds
are small and if they are destroyed
and the field put in good condition, the
young corn gets start and Is not
difficult 20 handle. The corn plant
sends out a great ret work of roots
and is a heavy feeder, but now, while
the plants are small, medium cultiva-
ton can safely be practiced. Later in
the season when the roots have be-
come established, deep plowing breaks
many o. them off and Injuries the plant
in proportion to the amount of prun-
ing done.
The breeders of purc-bred bcel
cattle who met in February and or
ganiZed an association for their mu-
tual benefit, have called their second
meeting for Monday, June 5. The
meeting will be held Mt the Courthouse
in Jackson. Prof. S. T. Simpson, Il
beef cattle man from the Missouri
College of Agriculture, will address
the meeting.
While cOWpcaS arc comparatively
cheap and plentiful is a good time to
plant a few acres on thin land, let
them mature and pillow them under
this fall. Such field is in good con-
dition to SOW to rye and later clover.
The rye can be utilized for pasture
without injury to the young clover.
Potato beetles and sor1e other in
sects are prevalent in nearly every
potato patch and destroy the vines.
They can be controlled by spraying
the potatoes with solution of two
pounds of arsenate of lead paste to
City gallons of water. If the powder
ed form of the arsenate of lead is
used, one pound is sufficient. For
small plots one tablespoon of the poi
son to one gallon of water should be
used. This is also an excellent remedy
for cabbage worms and may be APP
piled as often as necessary without
any danger whatever of injuring or
poisoning the cabbage. Arsenate of
lead sticks to the plants better than
Paris green and is not likely to burn
the foliage.

L. S. Supreme Court Fixes Date for
Test of Adamson Law.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE United

after January 1 should not, according
to attorneys interested materially af-
feet interests of those involved.
The stipulation before the court
signed by department of justice and
railroad representatives suspending
all litigation over the Adamson law
pending a decision requires the rail-
roads to keep special accounts of
wages due employees under the law so
they may be paid promptly if its con-
stitutionality is sustained. Both sides
are pledged to expedite the test case
particularly as it is considered that
congress would consider legislation to
meet the courts decision.
The Adan1son law goes into effect
January 1.
By agreement between railroad and
government attorneys the Adamson
law will not be enforced until the SUI
preme court hands down its opinion.
