Who's Who on the Bull
Committee.

A bull calf butted into the CONVEX.
satlon at the Commercial Club meet.
ing last night, and much cratory was
INDUCED in before the bovine was dis.
posed Of. William H. Bohnsack j.
said he regarded w. H. Stubbletield as
being we'll qualified to take care OF

to be adopted when the chairman OF
the meeting announced that he would
name committee to take care OF The
animal. The bull will not be shot.
He is coming to Cape Glrardeau Coun-
ty to become a citizen.
The calf horned in on the meeting
following the reading OF letter from
the Chamber of Commerce in ST.

club would pay Gre half of the cost
Of the animal. TIE bull is walked a.
$3.50.
This animal is going to bc intro

lie in this county. Farmers are dc
lighted to know that this bovine arts
tocrat is going to become resideI7+

Cape Mans Vessel Will Be
Offered to Secretary Dan

on Them.

Col. T. JEFF Shorb. contractor an;
politician, is about to break into til,
big league as an inventor.
The Colonel is now designing 4 one.
man submarine destroyer, which hi,
friends say, will make any invention
planned by Thomas Edison unneces
sary.
An engineer from 81. Louis is spend
ing few days in the city, assisting
the Colonel in completing the vessel
which the inventor expects to place
at the disposal Of the Govesnmen;
within a short time.
The apparatus will attack sumba-
rincs By dropping bombs on item. Ii
i built so that it can run ct high
rate Of speed when submerged. It is
patterned after the iaunch. When The
boat is submerged, it automatically
closes like a pocketbooil, but opens
when it raises to the waters surface.
When the Shorb submarine destroy
er sights U-boat, It dives and tier
sneahs upon the encr,y. When sub
merged, the coming tower Of TIE YES
sci is above water, but is disguised
so that if discovered, Col Shoyb be-
lieves it would be taken for clunp
Of seaweed or rift wood. Through
this tower The operator is able &c
watch the movements Of the boat he :,
Shado"'ing. 1t is equipped 10 carry
several torpedoes.
If one Of these torDcdoes hits
u-boat, the submarine IS done fcr. b,!t
it must hit its objects. to be effective.
the Colonel admits. This Cape Girar
deau de.-ice can shoot accurately n
long distance, if necessary. but its
most effective work VIII be accom-
p!ished by sneakin% up on an unsus-
pecting U-boat and dropping a bomb
IN it.
Boas FrisScll, the engineer. vestp--
lay pointed out defect in Col. Shorb's
boat that must be overcome before the
craft puts out to seq. Col. Shcrb had
lust finished describing his vessel t.
Mr.. Frissell, eXpatiating at iongt1 on
he fact that the destroyer was mucn
ike tho Ford auto, when he was asked
his question:
"How will you crank #, il the en-
zine stops when You are on the nigh

Col. Shoih admitted that d disau

become desperate and he stands
UP and faces them and-Fights.
Win on Your mettle.
You have within yourself GER

out. Opposition, lodged, be-
comes Il terrible monster-faced,
it takes to its heels.

been learned th2t instead of approving
thc measure, The drainage interests in

tc the passage OF the bill. According
to Capt. Bridges, the measure VIII be
IN the hands Of the committee when
the session adjoGTns. Capt Bridges

Iy the people Of Cape Gira-deau, the

get before Us for final passage, it viii
go through.
House Bill No. 906, known as the
Soft Drink Tax Measure, taxing soda
pop, near-bear, etc, was rejected for
advancement on the calendar, and also
TO make special order Of same by very
large vote, this would ihdicate to
ne that the bill will have every rough
sailing If it does come to vote foI
final passages. Personally, / believe
near beers" should pay revenue in
TO the State; I am opposed to other
soft drinks, especially soda pop and
fruit drinks.

get this advance information as these
three bills are of particular interest to
Cape Girardeau.
Our bridge bill now in the hands of
Dr.. Spee- appears to be in very poor
shape, at least the committee has not
considered DR.. Spcer's bill as yet, and
/ feel they are going to try to let It
die in committee. TiS Swamp Com
mittee is strongly against this bill
and for the life OF ne, | cannot under
stand the position they take. If pos
sible, ] will try and have this bill
passed in the House, over the Swamp
Committees adverse report. This will
be a very hard Job to put over, but
believe can do it. l cannot find any
valid excuse for the Swamp Commit

all arguments appear to make this bill
a Just measure.

MILK IN WINTER

Why do your cows give less milk
in winter than they do in summer?
Just because nature does not supply
them with grasses and green food.
But we have come to the assistance
of Dame Nature with E. A. Thomas
Stock Remedy which contains the very
ingredients that the green feed sup
plies in season. only of course, in a
more highly concentrated form. We
guarantee that this remedy will make
your cows give more milk, and better
milk, with the same feed.
