LIEUT.. FUERTH TO
TRAIN IN GEORGIA
Son of Cape Man Holds Record
as q Physician-Goes
South.

DIR. A. L. Fuerth, a son of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. F. Fuerth fthis city, spent
Yesterday in the Cape visiting his
relatives before departing for Fort
Oglethorpe, Ga, where he. has been
ordered to report as a First L;euten-
ant in the Medical Corps of the Z.

versity. He has the distinction Of
being the youngest physician to re-
ceive diploma from that university

made the highest record in his ex-
aminations.
Lieut.. Fuerth volunteered several
months ago when the War Depart
ment called for $4,000 physicians. H.

FIRE INSURANCE
men ORCANIzET TO
READJUST RATES
81. L. Albert is Elected Pres
ident of New Cape Or
ganizati0n.
TO ASK STATE BUREAU
FOR RATE REDUCTION
Will Decide Whether Agents or
Companies Must Pay City
License Tax.

An organization of. insurance
agents of the city was formed in :,
meeting held yesterday in the Him.
Undergraduates building, during
which the present rates and the pros
poets of an increase of the fire in
surance rates were discussed. H. l..
Albert was elected president of the
new organization; Ben Vineyard, vice
president, and E. P. Ellis, secretary.
The principal purpose of this
meeting was to discuss the license
tax levied upon the insurance agents
for doing business in this city. The
city ordinance provides that an in
surance agent must pay $40 for each
company he represents.
Some of the agents have paid this
tax out of their personal funds,
while others charged the amount
against the companies they repre-
sent. AS result the insurance
companies have threatened to raise
the rates on fire insurance in the
Cape, at the rate of five cents per
hundred dollars insurance.
Mr.. Albert was authorized by Che
new organization to go before the
members of the Missouri Inspection
and Survey Bureau which fixes the
fire insurance rates for the cities, to
see whether the rates can not be ad-
justed. Before this action is taken
the insurance agents, will take the
matter up with the companies they
represent to ascertain whether the
companies will pay this tax or the
agents.
Several insurance agents of the
city have not paid their tax and
are awaiting the outcome of the con-
ference between their representative
and the city council and the rating
bureau. Others paid their license
tax when it became due, and several
of these agents charged the amount
to the companies.
This action has caused the corr
panies who are represented in this
city to ask for an increase Of the
rates. These were reduced recently
after the city had purchased the new
fire apparatus and if the matter can
not be adjusted the old rates will be
put in force again.
Nine fire insurance agents are in
the city each representing from one
to Is companies. E. P. Ellis has the
agency for the largest number which
requires him to pay $3.50 every year.
A. C. Vasterling representing eelvcn
companies paid the next highest
anApunt of insurance taxes. Others
represent from eight to one COMPANY.

of his fondness for telling his en-
counters during the Civil War.
Sheriff Sneed said last night, lie
had been informed that friends of
Liddle had warned him to be more
careful about expressing his opinion
so openly. He said the matter was
brought to his attention Monday by
several men who said they had heard
the war veteran make such remarks.
Sheriff Sneed called up Oscar A.
Knehans in the Cape, who is the Uni
ted States Referee in Bankruptcy 70"
this district and asked how to pro-
ceed Mr.. Knehans assured the shet-
Tiff he would report the matter to the

SAVE LEAVES FOR
GARDENS, IS ADVISED
Prof. Johnson Cells How to Use
Leaves as Fertilizer in
Garden.
BY L. r. JOHNSON.

/ VI tAS A<C0NCS w ullc ~ q
are conducting a campaign to save
food products we should not lose
sight of the fact that we are DELHI
erately destroying a valuable fert.-
lizer when we burn the leaves. It is
the town dweller who is the chief Of
fender in this respect. In the CUTTERS
in front of lawns fires of leaves may
be daily seen at this season. The best
way to utilize the leaves is to place
! them deeply around the rose bushes
and all Towering shrubs, along the
sides of hedges, around young trees
and vines and over all spaces where
the soil has been left bare by the
dying down of flowers or vegetables.
Another way to use them would be to
scatter them over the garden. Piled
up and left to rot down, the residue
forms one Of the best fertilizers for
pot flowers as we'll as for those IN
the open. Wherever placed, leaves
should be weighted down to keep the
wind from blowing them away. Do
not burn the leaves.
Apple Prospects-That the hill re-
gions of Southeast Missouri are equal
to or better than any other part Of
the state for fruit, admits of plenty
of proof. Failures here from frosts
are rarer than in the great apple AMI
peach sections of Missouri and A.
kansas. Well cared for trees in this
county produced a full crop although
the average for the state is only So
per cent and last year So per cent.
Not only quantity but size and qua
ity are present here. The price of
apples this winter will be higher than
that of last year for the reason that
the crop is considerably less as much
as 20 per cent. The great decrease
occurs in the states east of Indiana
and north of the Carolinas. There is
an increase in the Central Mississippi
states and great one in some of The
far western.
Late Sown Wheat-The fact that
wheat sown up to the middle of Oc-
tober last year came out at the last
and in many cases made a good crop,
seems to have lulled some farmers in
to the belief that drilling may 60 on
till November. For such> there IS
likely to be disagreeable awaken
ing. For generations the best farm
ers in this county have sown their
wheat about October the first an
with the greatest success. To attemp.
to lengthen the season by sowing two
weeks later is hazardous expert
ment. 1t can be justified only as
the last resort against the Hessian
fly. Farmers should hasten to CO.
operate IN order to take all preven-
tive measures against the fly and
so reduce its numbers that sowing at
the usual time must be sown early
enough to become we'll established in
the soil before winter. The plant
should be we'll developed in root and
top. The writer has found by harl
experience that wheat sown much be-
,fond the usual season usually r.
suits in loss and disappointment.
