NEW HARDY STRAWBERRY


Strawberries In almost continuous
supply from early summer until
frost occurs are now possibility for
truckers and home gardeners In the
Northern States. "Everbearing'
varieties developed by growers in re-
cent years from long-fruiting plants
of short-season types and from hy-
brids have passed q successful trial
period. and now recommended by
specialists OF the United States De-
partment of Agriculture for planting,
The best varieties and culture prac-
tices-somewhat different from the
culture of common strawberries
are described in a publication which
has just appeared from the Depart
ment of Agriculture, Farmers Bull
letin 901, "Everbearing Strawber-
ries."

Besides their long fruiting season,
some of the new varieties are very

In which the everbearing types can
be grown most successfully Is descri-
bed by the specialists as the northern
parts of Virginia, Kentucky, Arkan-
sas. and Kansas. South of these lin
its points may be found where they

cess, It is said, but they are not defi
nitely known to thrive there.
The two leading varieties of
the everbearing types are the
Progressive and the Suberb. The
progressive has been found to with
stand the winters Of the Middle West
better than most other varieties ex-
'cept the Dunlap, one Of its parents.
The Superb also Is harder than most
varieties of strawberries. A remark
able characteristic OF both is that II
blooms are killed by the frost they
soon flower again, This character
makes them especially valuable for
sections subject to late spring frosts,
which often destroy the crop In ordi-
nary sorts
Bear Fruit Almost Continuously
1t Is explained that the new ever
bearing sarts, which are sometimes
confused with other varieties show
ing abnormal behavior. differ In that
they bear fruit under favorable con
ditions more or less continuously
from the season of the ordinary vari7
eties until frost. Certain varieties
of the everbearing type which have
been set for a year bear a fair crop
during the regular strawberry sea
son. For the period Immediately |
after this early summer crop the
of fruit obtained Is small. In !
August. September. and October 1t
becomes larger and under favorable
the late summer and au-
tumn yield may equal or exceed the
early summer. crop. They are not
well adapted to sections having long
droughts except when irrigation can
be supplied.
Plants OF the everbearing varieties
should be set at the same time as
those OF other varieties--as soon as
the ground is in condition in the
srring. Growers OF the Progressive
aud American varieties, which have
rather small fruit. agree that more
fertile soil is required for them than
'or the ordinary sorts. In order to in
;rease their size. Another reason
'or the need of fertile soil Is that
his type OF strawberry requires
arger supply of moisture than do
he sorts which produce only plant

terday-Song Predicts Com
ing of Warm Weather.

If the blue bird is a harbinger OF
spring, then winter is about to say
goodbye. Several pairs of the little
rcse-breasted warblers visited the
western part of the city yesterday
and chirped in their characteristic
way.
Old residents say the blle-hird is a
true weather prophet, and that its ap-
pearance in the late winter indicates
spring is on the way. While these
birds are supposed to remain in this
section of the country during the
winter months, they are always ST.
lent until the indications are that
winter is broken.
Following closely upon the arrival
of the blue birds, weather observers
say the change in the moon tomorrow
will also bear out the prophecy Of the
songsters. The neon will be full to-
morrow night. The first quarter al
ways indicates bad weather in Janu-
AIRY, weather prophets say, and when
this orbit rounds out into perfect
circle, the weather changes
As we have had falling weather
since the new moon, the full moon
will insure US few days of clear

dates To Succeed Capt.
II. W. Bridges.

The announcement made by Govern
or Gardner that he would call a spec-
ial State election to fill the vacancies
caused by the death and entrance into
the army of several members Of the
Legislature, has already set the politi-
cal bee buzzing, and politicians are
locking over their ranks for good po-
litical timber. Cape Girardeau Coun-
ty must elect a successor to Capt. H.
W. Bridges, who is now in the army.
J. Frank Caldwell, county tax col
lector, mas been frequently mentioned
by the Republicans as their best can
didate. Caldwell has always received
the support Of the party in the coun-
ty, and should be a candidate, his fol-
lowers and political friends say, he
will be the county's representative dur
ing the special session of the State
Legislature. Other candidates have
not been discussed so far, leaders OF
the party say.
T. D. Hines. a we'll known attorney
of Jackson, has been given consider
alton by the Democrats. Although the
Democratic party is outweighed by the
Republicans in Cape Girardeau Coun-
ty, Democrats say, Hines would poll
many Republican votes on account of
his being so well known in the coun-
ty.
The date of the special election will
be announced by Governor Gardner in
the near future. 1t is believed the
election will be held early enough to
give the candidates time to qualify
for their offices before the beginning
of April, when the special session will
be held
The twenty-sixth senatorial dis
trict will also have a special election
to choose a successor of the late Sen
ator Thos. B Whitledge, who died
last May. Whitledge was Repubii-
can. The district comprises the coun-
ties: Ste Genevieve, Perry, Madison,
ST. Francois and Jefferson.

GARRETT CLENN'S
STORE Is ROBBED
Wearing Apparel Stolen From
Broadway Store-Robber
Broke Rear Window.

The clothing store of Garrett Glenn
419 Broadway, was entered Wednes
day night and O lot Of mems wearing
apparel stolen, including shirts, neck.
ties, and one pair Of trousers. From
all indications the thief desired tc
fit himself for the coming spring wea-
Their, said Mr.. Glenn after taking an
inventory to determine what had been
stolen during the night.
The theft was discovered by Mr.
Glenn yesterday morning, when he
opened his store for business. A rear
window had been forced open, and
the screen on the outside had been
torn from its fastenings. A pair of
trousers lying on a table with a ship
ment of goods that had come in dur
ing the afternoon, was taken by the
thief, who them helped himself to a
number of shirts, neektiea, collars and
silk socks.
The proprietor was facing serious
problem yesterday in trying to de-
termins the physique Of the thief.
While the trousers were made for
. corpulent man with an avoirdupcis
of 200 pounds OF more, the shirts
were Of a small size, all ISIS, as
were the collars The socks removed
from the store by the thief, were
made for a small foot.
Mr.. Glenn said yesterday he was
convinced the theft, must have been a
freak" He would remind me Of the
description given Of the Roman Bn-
peror Nero by Facitus, Q man with C
large body, supported BY thin legs,
with a big head supported by thin
neck"
The thief apparently entered the
store after midnight when the Broad
way policemen are around the passen-
ger station.

Three Children Of Rich Cape
County Farmer Contest
ed Land Deed
TRACT OF $50 ACRES
INVOLVED IN SUIT
Judge Kelly Decides, Deed Not
Delivered, Is Considered A
Valid Document

| A litigation over the division of the
Critics estate comprising $50 acres of
land near Daisy has been settled by a
decision of Circuit Judge Kelly after
hearing the testimony of the children
of the testamentor, who are split in
two parties over the land division.
While the Judge did not make his
decision formal, he announced that he
would hand down the final ruling when
circuit court meets next Monday. The
suit is to be decided in favor of the
defendants in the case, Conrad, George
and Jacob Critics, farmers living in
the northwestern section of the coun-
ty.
The suit was brought to have set
aside a deed made by the father of
the litigants, in which he gave the
three defendants the land in question.
Henny Critics, Mrs. Sophia Freeze
and Mrs. Mary Statler, made an eff
fort to have the transfer declared in
valid and brought the suit.
The attorney for the plaintiffs en-
phasized the fact that, although the
deed had been made and signed, it
had never been delivered. The fact
that the transfer could not become
effective till after the fathers death,
the attorney contended, made the
deed of a testamentary nature and
therefore invalid.
When examined on the witness
stand the three defendants said, Con-
rad had given each one $500 as his /
share in the value of theland, while |
the plaintiffs maintained that they
had not been apprised cf the purpose
of being awarded this sum by their
brother. When they signed the re-
ceipts for the money, they said, they
believed they were receiving their
share of the personal estate left by
their father, as they had been inform
ed so by their three brothers.
The testimony was heard several
months ago by Circuit Judge Kelly
in a special session in the Cape. Tues
day briefs were filed by both the de-
PENDANTS and the plaintiffs. Judge
Kelly announced yesterday that he
would decide the case in favor of the
defendants, declaring the deed, over
which the suit arose, valid.
The attorney of the plaintiffs init
mated that the case would be appeal
ed He declared the deed was worth
less now, for the very reason that it
was not delivered. Therefore it could .
not be matter of record, and could
not have the value Of deed of trust. !
The Judge ruled, however, that the
deed did not have to be delivered be-
fore it became valid and held that the
document was valid.

BOL LSHEvIK WAR IS DISCOUNTED

Washington, Aug. 23-A state of war between Russia and the United States has been declared by the Bol- shevil1i, according to an official des- patch received at the State Depart ment yesterday from Robert w. Inn brie. American Consul at Petrograd.
 MT. Imbrie's despatch is dated Aug. 2, but has just. reached here. He reports that as soon as the Bol- shevik government declared that a state of war existed between Russia and the United States he lowered the United States flag over the consulate at Petrograd, closed the consulate and placed this governments affairs in charge of the Norwegian government.
 Coincident with the declaration of war a series of affronts and indigni- ties were perpetrated against Ameri cans in Petrograd, of which there were fortunately only about 20. The houses of the Americans were search ed, property was destroyed and one American was arrested. All citizens of the United States have been warn ed to leave Petrograd.
 Officials here do not take the so- called declaration of war against the United States by the Bolsheviki' very seriously, because 1t is fully realized that the Bolsheviki leaders do not represent the Russian people and are perhaps acting as agents of Germany in this, as in other cases.
