Civic League Asks Weed
 Cutting Law be Enforced

The civic League met at the home of Miss Sara Black on Tuesday, June 18th. Report was made concerning the car of oil which has been placed on Brinkley streets and which has so effectively settled for the season. A large number of ad- ditional subscribers to the oil fund were also reported and it was decided to order another car of oil at once, as the money for same is largely in sight and a canvass to secure the balance will begin immediately. As this will probably be the last oppor- nity for securing oil this summer, those interested are requested to phone the president, Mrs. Benj. Emmons, at once before the supply of oil is exhausted.
 Petitions for the Red Cross meeting, held at the High School building on June 20th were pre- sented and Mesdames J. H. Stack, J. c. Howard and Miss
 
 Clyde Mitchell named as com- mittee to circulated same.
 The following resolutions was presented by w. B. Williams:
 Resolved: That we, the Brink ley Civic League, most respect fully request that the Honorable City Council, see that the Ordi- nance requiring weeds along the streets, and alleys, and on vacant lots be cut, is enforced. Also that the Ordinance prohibiting throwing of trash, waste paper, and other rubbish upon the streets and alleys of the city be enforced, to the end that our town be more cleanly and sani- tary.
 This resolution was unani- mously adopted whereupon the meeting adjourned to meet July 3rd, at the home of Miss Black.

FRUIT CROPS BADLY
DAMAGED BY RAINS
Orchard Owners Predict Small
Peach and Apple Crop-Straw.
berries Also Suffer.

The recent heavy rains combined
with several light frosts have done
damage to the apple and peach crop
of Cape Girardeau County, according
to several orchard owners, who will
suffer considerable damage.
The few warm days during the ear
lier part of April and the latter part
of March had developed the fruit trees
out to considerable size, but the fol-
lowing heavy winds and frost killed
more than one-fourth of the crops.
Elisha Goodchild, the colored horti-
culturist, has figured that the weather
is responsible for the loss of at least
one-fourth of the crop Of peaches he
had expected, apples will even be
worse, he said. The strawberry yield
has likewise suffered considerable
damage due to the recent frost.
The farmers in all parts of the coun-
ty and in the greater portion of the
State have reported slight damage.

last WEEK TO JOIN
THE RESERVE CORPS
Less Than 5000 Applicants for
Fort Riley Camp-10,000
are Wanted.

All applications for the Officers Re-
serve training camp in Fort Riley,
Kan, must be filed before the expira-
ton of this week if the applicants
want to be considered for the training
camp course. According to the report
from the headquarters in Chicago,
where the applications are received,
about $500 young~men have sent in
their applications for the training
camp in Fort Riley, or just one-fourth
of the number needed for this camp.
Unless the applications take a bigger
increase than recorded since the cam
paign was begun, the required number
of young men for the reserve corps
will be lacking several thousands.
The small number of applicants, who
have been accepted in this district, is
due largely to the fact that about 80
per cent of the applicants fail in the
/ mental examination which is being
held daily in st. Louis. Four places
have been established there for the
examinations.
The central department of the army
in Chicago is conducting six training
i camps for the officers of the reserve
corps, namely two at Fort BENJAMIN
Harrison two at Fort Sheridan and
one at Fort Smelling and one at Fort
Riley. At the rate of $500 each, these
camps can train $1,000 men. Up to
this time 1880 applications have beer
received for these camps.
The War Department in Washington
has already begun calling to the colors
all members of the Officers Reserce
Corps who will be assigned to active
duty at the training camps. The first
applicants will be trained for the pur-
pose of taking charge of the first $780,
900 men who will be conscripteP on
the first call or have already voun-
teered their services for the army.
Ten young men of the Cape have
made their application for the Officers
Reserve Corps.
! A number of others have inquired
at the local office and of the members
of the Training Camp Association re-
garding the qualifications, and it is ex-
pected that about dozen others will
soon forward their application to the
central department in Chicago.
H. Alva Jamison, a salesman of a
local automobile firm, yesterday made
his application for the Officers Re
serve Corps. Gather Ranney and Ly-
man Reed, both students of the Nor
NAL were the other two applicants
Yesterday. Those who applied during
the earlier part of the week were:
Howard Frissell, George P. Marsh
Robert Harrison, Harry Gaines, Les
lie Patton, Norman Motley and Harry
Crumb.
| Six young men from towns in South
east Missouri were enlisted yesterday
afternoon at the Cape recruiting sta
ton by Sergeant O'Rourke. They are:
