CAPT. BRIDGES IS

Cape Army Officer Suffering
From Kidney Trouble-Wife
Nursing Him.

Capt. Harry W. Bridges, who is I'LL
in Ogdensburg, y. Y, is still confined
to his bed, according to message
received from Mrs. Bridges by her
friends in this city yesterday. His
ailment is said to be kidney trouble,
aggravated by complications.
He was in New York for several
weeks under the care of specialists,
but was taken to the home of his
aunt in Ogdensburg by Mrs. Bridges
recently. As Mrs. Bridges is a train
ed nurse, she is able to take care of
him at home.
He has not been in normal health
for almost year, and it is believed
that he overtaxed himself in the train
ing camp at Nevada, Mo. He was
given a sick furlough several months
ago. and since then has been in the
East. Unless he shgows an improve
ment in the near future, it is expect
ed that he will be granted discharge
from the army.

U.S.TOHAVE MILLION
in FRANCE JULY 4
Peace Terms Offered by Ger
many Ignored Completely
By This Country.

WASHINGTON, May "A million
American soldiers in France by July
4 is the program the War Depart
ment has undertaken to carry out. 1t
is the answer of the United States to
any suggestions of peace Germany
may make.
Ambassador Walter Hines Page
Government had knowledge of any
ment today the alleged new terms
which had been unofficially circulated
in London. The statement made later
bv Mr.. Balfour denying the British
Government had knowledge of any
peace proposal has not yet been re-
ceived through official channels.
The earlier report gained some
credence. as Jonkheer Colyn, former
minister of war in the Netherlands
Government, was alleged to have been
the bearer of the conciliatory over
tures 1t was known in diplomatic cir
cles he had made the voyage from
Holland to England in Dutch torpe-
do boat.
In Dutch circles it was said that
Jonkheer Colyn was a man OF very
high standing and would not long per
nit his name to be connected with
such report if it were not true. II
is known in official circles that the
desire in Holland for peace amount:
to desperation.
This accumulation of circumstances
prior to the publication of the Balfou
statement, all found support in th'
prediction by Lord Robert Cecil tina
Germany was planning to launch
new peace drive.

Farmers Crop Contest
This Fall.
WILL BE MADE ANNUAL
AFFAIR TO AID CROPS
All Counties i'm Southeast Wis.
souri, Will be Asked to Par.
ticipate in Race.

A corn and grain contest for all
farmers in Southeast Missouri will be
held at Dexter some time during the
fall. as result OF meeting of the
committee of the Stoddard County
Farm Bureau in Bloomfield several
days ago. Dexter has been chosen as
the place where the contest will be
held. at which prizes amounting to
81, 800 viii be awarded for various
entries in the contest.
This is expected to be made an an
nual affair and other counties will be
urged to contribute to the success of
The new enterprise. Not only farm
ers living in Stoddard County, but
others in the adjacent territory may
enter the contest. The district COM
prises the following counties: S,od-
dard, Cape Girardeau, Scott, New
Madrid. Mississippi. Pemiscot. Dunk
lin. Wayne and Bollinger.
The main prize will be $50 TO, the
best fivc-acre yield for corn and wheat
Twenty prizes ranging as low as SO
will be given in this class, with q to-
tai cash value of $1,000.
An additional $500 will be given for
sample exhibits. namely $15 for best
bushel classes, $40 for best ten ears
of sample corn and 81 for the best
peck of sample grain. There are sew
eral classes in the category, govern
ed by the kind of grain and corn that
is placed on exhibition.
No cash entry fees will be charg-
ed. but each farmer who places his
product on exhibition at this contest
must deposit either corn or wheat of
a value proportionate to the amount
of the prize offered for the class in
which he wants to compete. This
grain will be used as seed.
Another feature entry of the con-
test will be the prize offered to boys
ranging from 10 to 10 years for the
best acre yield of corn: A prize of
S1OO has been decided upon for the
winner in this exhibition
The purpose of shis great contest is
to stimulate the farmers to raise the
best corn and wheat possible. and al
so by the way of exchange, bring the
value of corn and grain up to a STAN
dard quality. Those who attended
the meeting of the farm bureau came
to the conclusion that the offering of
the prizes would cause the farmers to
ise greater care in selecting their
seed and would be an impulse to take
better care of their crops and would
make every effort to develop them to
the best kind.
