The two-day convention of the
Southeast Missouri Medical Society
held in this city, was brought to a
close yesterday evening with the cleo
ton of the new officers for the pres
ent year. The physicians held three
meetings in two days, during which
medical problems were discussed and
several addresses were made on sur
gical questions. The convention con
vened Tuesday evening.
The new officers of the organiza-
ton are: DR.. A. r. Rowe, of Poplar
Bluff, president; DR.. w. r. Yount, of
this city, vice-president; DR.. w. K.
Statler, of Oak Ridge, recording Sec
retary; DR.. Goody Koontz, of Caledo-
mia treasurer, and Dr. w. S. Hutton
of Fornfelt, CORRESPONDING secretary.
Owing to the inclement weather
conditions the attendance was some
what impaired compared with the
record of previous conventions. Many
members of the organization who for
years attended the annual convention
were counted among the absentees
this year.
Charleston was chosen as the next
meeting place for the convention of
1919. The convention has been held
in this city for several times.
All members of the medical organ
ization were urged by the outgoing
president to assist the government in
the present war crisis. 1t was shown
how the physician could come to the
assistance of their government by
joining the medical officers reserve
corps. Those who can be spared the
president declared, should not hest
tate to offer their services to the gov
ernment.
A call was issued by the war de
partment for volunteers in the medi-
cal corps, and was responded to free
ly by the members of the Southeast

CONSUMER CANT BUY
CARLOAD OF COAL
Fuel Administrator Met Dealers
Yesterday-Asked 10 Deliver
Orders During Summer.

Coal can not be sold in carload ship
ments for domestic use other than
through licensed dealer, according
to the instruction received yesterday
by Col. l.. B. Houck. county iuel al
The order was issued by
the State Fuel Administration 70 pro-
tect the retail dealers during tic coal
buying season.
A meeting of the local dealers was
held yesterday afternoon at the Cf-
flee of Col. Houck and all means were
discussed by which another coal fam
inc could be averted this yea. Col
Houck has Just returned from Jeffer-
son City, where he had a lengthy con-
ference with Lieut-Gov. Wallace
Crossley, the state fuel administrator
Col. Houck told of the suggestions
made by the state fuel administrator
to prevent repetition of the coal
famine this year. The coal dealers
were urged to make house to house
canvass and take orders from theil
customers as early as possible. Dur
ing the summer months, Col. Houck
said it would be an easy matter for
each coal dealer to get sufficient coal
to fill the orders of his customers.
The coal dealers were asked tC
make a weekly report on their city
canvass. Those who fail to order Goa
will be reported to the fuel admins
traitor. The result will be that each
one of those who do not order coal
at this time will receive a warming
from the county fuel administrator.
In all probability, Col. Houck said
the delivery of coal during the winter
months for domestic use would be or
dered stopped, that was the sugges
ton of the state fuel administrator
The mines will then be ordered to sci
coal only for public use for the fac
tories and ships.
A list showing the maximum price
for the various kinds of fuel is ex
pected to be published by the nation
al fuel administrator in a short time
This list will regulate the prices an
any dealer disregarding the prices fix
ed on this list will forfeit his licens
as coal dealer.
The order prohibiting the sale O
coal in carload shipments to othe
than licensed dealers does not appl
to public utilities. such as light;n
plants, railroads and other agents c
public service The restriction wi
also effect the hotels and public offic
buildings, so that the owners of thes
buildings will have to purchase thel
coal supply from the dealers.

Cape Township Gets In
cease of Only Is Cents
for This Year.
WILL NET COUNTY OVER
$4,000 ON REVENUE
About 81 500 Saved on Road I'm.
prOvemen:-Court Ad.
journed Thursday.

The tax levy in Cape Girardeau
County was increased 20 cents on the
800 valuation by the County Court
judges, who held their final session
of the May term yesterday. The in
Icrease in Cape Girardeau Township
however, will be only l. cents on ohe
500 valuation, owing to the fact that
the railroad bonds have been paid off
and no more assessments will be
made to pay the interest on this in
debtedness.
The increased levy. Judge William
Paar. presiding County Court Judge
said last night, will net the county
approximately $4,000 year This
will give the county surplus for this
year of several thousand dollars. The
increase will be as follows: $1,000 for
the road fund levy and $1,000 for the
revenue.
The increase of the tax levy was
made as follows: County revenue
from 40 to 80 cents on the 800 valu-
alton, special road levy remained at
% cents on the S1OO, other road fund
'evy raised from 10 cents to 20 cents.
and the court house levy also remain
ed at ) cents on the 500 valuation.
The increase of the general road
fund levy virtually means raise of
20 cents on the 800 vavluation for
the county, excepting Cape Girar-
deau Township. in which the railroad
refunding tax was levied up till
April l. These railroad bonds were
ordered retired by the County Court
several days ago. which relieved the
taxpayers in Cape Girardeau Town
ship of a five cents levy.
The raising of the tax levy in the
county was made necessary by the
ruling of the State Board of Equal
cation, by which the tax assessments
in the county were reduced below the
sum of last year. With additional cX-
penses added to the county's budget
and ten tax valuation reduced by the
State Board, there was no other rem
edy but an increase of the tax rate,
said Judge Paar last night. the coun-
ty Judges decided to levy the limit
allowed by the State law.
A total of $1,000 was donated for
the reconstruction of roads in various
parts of the county. This is a consid-
cradle decrease compared with last
year when the County Court allowed
in the neighborhood of $4,000 for this
purpose.
After drawing the jury for the May
term of the Common Pleas Court the
County Court was adjourned till the
regular meeting in June.

these few he places his hopes of win
ming. 1t was suggested yesterday by
some of the members of the Home
guards Company that a preliminary
game be played between the two
teams to see how their appearance
will "take" in the city. 1t was also
suggested to use the larger players
as back stops to keep the players
from infiicting any injury on the
spectators by unforeseen miscues.
