riousness of the damage CCcasiNned
by this type of injury may be realized
from the fact that often more than
half an entire crop is ruined in this
way
a lumber of factors contribute to
,he cracking of fruit. says V. X.
Gardner of the University Of Missouri
College of Agriculture To a certain
extent it is more or less of a variety
Characteristic; that is, some varieties
are much more subject to cracking
ties or atmospheric conditions it is
50 have much 20 dc with the amount
of injury To the extent that crack
ing is the result of variety peculiari-
ties or atmospheric conditions it is
more or less beyond the control of
the grower However the severity of
the injury is very largely due to mois-
ture conditions in the soil. When the
soil becomes very dry during mid ard
late summer the growth of the fruit
is checked. Then with the coming of
late summer or fall rains the fruit
again starts to grow rapidly. In the
meantime the skin has lost some of
its elasticity or at least its ability to
keep pace in growth with the expan-
sion of the fieshy tissues it encloses.
The result is more or less cracking
or splitting.

II. F. Schultz. coach of the Univer-
sity of Missouri eleven. said this morn
ing that practice would be held ey-
cry day this week On Monday, We'd
nesday and Friday practice will be
from to 6 o'clock and on Tuesday
and Thursday from to o'clock.
In regard to the game to be played
with Oklahoma at Norman, Okla. next
Saturday, Coach Schultz said that he
was going ahead on the suppOsition
that it would be played. AS yet there
has been no statement given out which
prohibits the playing of this game.
A list of the players who will COM
pose the team that will go will be
given out Tuesday.
Schultz. in referring to the game
between Washington University and
Westminster Saturday said the game
was much better than the score would
indicate. In the opinion of Schultz
Washington has the best team it has
had for a number Of years. Eber
Simpson. an old Wisconsin player
and a member of the all-Western
team a year ago is attending Washing
ton University this fall and is a MEM
Der of the football team. Simpson
was mentioned for the all-Western
team and according to Coach Schultz

first magnitude He is an especially
good open field runner and handles
the forward pass in fine style.

Is THAT HOUR LOST OR GAINED!
Turning Back the Clock Hands Caus-
rs BewiIderment.

Did we get an extra hour of sleep
or lose an hour Saturday night. did we
get up an hour earlier or an hour
later. is the time cur clocks tell now
the old time or the new time, and
other similar questions are harassing
the minds of those puzzled persons
who never have been able to straight
en- out the changes in time.
The turning back of the clocks an
hour yesterday morning at 2 o'clock
worked hardships on many persons.
One of the things peculiar about the
change is that Sunday morning there
were two o'clocks. Did a train due
by the time used this summer to
leave at o'clock that morning leave
at o'clock summer time or at 2
o'clock winter time?
There were two hours yesterday
morning when the clock legally
showed the time between l o'clock
and 2. the hour before the turning
back and the hour afterward. No
trains were run between / and 3
" NAOth WI bCtduSt luc SCuCu-
ules are supposed to stay the same by
the clock. that is-if train is sched-
uled TO leave at 2:15 o'clock, 1t leaves
when the clock hands-point to 2:15
no matter which time is being used.
But at o'clock summer time Sunday
morning the clocks were turned
back to l o'clock winter time. The
trains scheduled between l and 2
o'clock had already gone by summer
time so therefore no trains left be-
tween / and 2 O'Clock winter time.
The hour at which breakfast was
served at boarding places was fruit
full source of error. II the clocks
were turned back, one boarder at
least at nearly every place arrived an
hour early.

CAMPAIGN FOR NUT
SHELLS IS STILL ON
Million Pounds Daily Need
ed-Only One-Third of
Amount Supplied.
TO AID
Virginia Avenue Club Boys
Will Come After Your
Collection.

The Government need for nut shells
and fruit pits for gas masks is as
great as ever though the idea that the
campaign is over is prevalent. The
need is for 100000 pounds daily,
while the supply that can be obtained
has been only about One-third of that
amount so far.
Receptacles for collecting the nuts
and stones have been placed at the
postoffice. the Red Cross rooms and
the University Y. W. c. A, and mer-
chants have expressed their willing
ness to collect whatever supplies are
brought to their stores.
Miss Helen Greene, organizer of the
Junior division of the Virginia Avenue
Club. which is composed of children
between the ages of and IS, said that
the boys would call for supplies OF
the stones and pits il the collectors
are unable to deliver them TO a re-
ceptacle themselves.
A. l.. Ferguson Cf the Virginia
Pharmacy said today he woulc con-
tinue to receive nut shells and turn
them over to the Red Cross. although
a recent prize contest he conducted
for the largest amount brought 10 him
has been closed.
The Red Cross received some post
ers last Friday telling of the need.
These have been distributed in public
pIaces in Columbia and in the coun-
Tho anThnrl-
ties think that people living in thhe
country can supply particularly
large amounts of nut shells because
nuts, especially walnuts, are unusual
" plentiful this year. Large numbers
of students and school children have
taken advantage of the closing of the
schools because of the influenza cpl
demic and have gone on frequent
uutting parties, which should supply
large quantities of shells too.
Peach stones, apricot pits, prune
pits, plum pits. olive pits. date seeds,
cherry pits, walnut shells, Brazil nut
shells. hickory nut shells and butter
nut shells make the best quality
charcoal for use in gas masks. Be-
cause sufficient material has not been
Obtainable for use, wood charcoal
mixed with shell charcoal has been
used. The wood charcoal is not hard
and will settle. making it difficult for
the wearer of a mask containing it to
breathe. Wood charcoal also lacks
the absorptive qualities of the shell

WHY MISSOURI FRUIT CRACKS
Often More Than Hall Crop Is
Ruined.

During the last two months grow
ers have had considerable trouble
from the cracking of fruits. AiuOsl
all fruits are subject to this kind of
injury. but in the Missouri region it
is most apt to be serious in apples.
The cracks in apples often extend
only through the skin. though in Sc
we're cases they may go iaep.y into
the flesh. In either case, the cracks
permit the spores of various rSts and
decays to reach the fleshy tissues of
the fruit. and it is only short time
before the fruit is entirely spoiled.
At best, cracked fruit is suitable tn
ly for immediate consumption or for
cider purposes. and il placed upon
the market at all it must be sold
at comparatively low prices. The Sc

The sugar supply in the United
States is now controlled absolutely
by the Food Administration. II re-
taller buys sugar he must have GER
tificate; if a wholesaler buys sugar
he must have a certificate, and II
broker or jobber buys sugar he must
have a certificate. The consumer is
the only person who buys this COM
modify without a permit from the
Food Administrations His purchases
are also limited. but in another way.
T. ID. Stanford is in charge OF the
sugar division of the Missouri DlVl-
sion of the United States Food Ad-
ministration, and it is in his Office
located in Columbia, that certificates
are issued to dealers of this state with
the exception of those in St Louis,
ST. Louis County. Jackson county ana
Buchanan County. These larger
places have sugar division headquar-
tiers of their own.
During the month just past there
were distributed in Missouri 17.OOO,-
600 pounds of sugar, OF which 3'OOO'-
600 pounds were for canning pur-
poses.
On July all retailers in the state
we're required to submit to Mr.. Stan
ford's office a statement of the
amount of sugar sold during the
months cf April, May and June. Ger
tifcates for the purchase of sugar
have been issued them on this basis.
The certificates issued to the retail
ers are turned in to the wholesalers.
The wholesalers present these certifi-
Gates. collected from retailers, hotels
and bakeries. to the sugar division
and are given in return certificates of
larger denomination. Mr.. Stanford

saws that the certificates issued from
the office range in denomination
from 10 to 10000 pounds.
The consumer gets his sugar with
out a certificate, but he can buy only
two pounds at a time, if he lives in a
city, or five pounds, if he lives in the
country. In the course of month
each family can use but two pounds
for each person. The retailer, by
keeping an account of the names OF
all purchasers, together with the date
of purchase and the number in the
family Of the purchaser, must see to
II that no consumer buys more than
his allotment of sugar. His records
are kept open for inspection or are
turned in to the county food admin
istrator. according to the plan adopt
ed by the county.
A force of from fifteen to thirty-five
is required in the office of the sugar
division, which is in the Horticulture
Building, to issue the certificates ana
keen the necessary records. Some OF
this is student help, out the EloSt par l
is net. When extra help is needed,
Mr.. Stanford says, it is needed for all
day. and this excludes University stu
dents. in most cases.
The work that is being done in the
sugar division of the Missouri Division
of the Food Administration is the
same that is being done in all the
ether states. Especial efforts are be-
ing made by the United States Food
Administration in Washington to keep
the work uniform throughout the
country. Inspectors are sent cut
from there to visit the headquarters
in the different states in an attempt
to accomplish this.

AUSTRIANS RIOT FOR MEAT
Military Canning Factories Raided by
Hungry TOwnspeOple.

By lnlteu fEesS
ZURICH. Oct (By MaiD.-The
Berliner Tageblatt tells of serious
outbreaks at Villaco in the Drava VAL
ley as a result of the lack of food.
One day in September there was
only a little meat from Croatia for
sale in the whole town and the price
was IS crowns the kilo. The angry
crowd went to the central butchery,
took it by storm and sacked it of the
little meat to be found.
1t passed on to the military canning
factories. There the lieutenant com
handing the guard was struck in the
face with brick and badly hurt.
Since several arrests had been
made the crowd went to the munic-
ipal palace to demand the release of
the prisoners. Only after energetic
Intervention of the army was order
restored.

GERMANS HEAVILY TAX POLES
People FOrcibly Removed to Prussia
to Do Hard Labor.


The Germans have made every eff
fort to terrorize the Poles. According
to reports from the province of Sled
lecyiZ. the rule of the so-called Eta
pen Commandments in that district has
been characterized by all sorts of ex-
cesses.
All men and women capable of do
ing physical labor have been fOrcibly
removed to Prussia. Commissions
were even sent out to bring in all the
boys and girls. of whom hard labor is
demanded by the Germans from three
to five days each week. Prior to the
arrival of these commissions, the pop
ulace began to hide, and orders were
issued forbidding them to ente" the
woods. Young girls sometimes spent
the night in rye fields.
Aside from the hardships of forced
labor. taxes of all descriptions have
been levied on the people. In addition
to ordinary taxes a general poll tax
of % marks per head is required and
priests are taxed 3 marks every time
they visit their parishes. The civil
ian population is Obliged to dOff its
headgear to officers and failure to obey
this rule entails penalty of 10 marks.
Even the refugees houses have been
Communicated, and a payment of 10
marks is required before house will
be allotted to them.
Also, priests who tore down prOcla-
nations from their church walls were
imprisoned for three weeks or more.
The peasants in a certain village
raised 1000 rubles as bail for the re-
lease of the priests. but they were
held up for 500 more. Then the towns
people were informed that it was not
bail but a fine, and the priests still
languished in the Jail.

What to call the present time is a

.Gasless Sunday Find This
City Again Automobiles

In spite of the fact that the police
of this city did not take any automo-
bile numbers yesterday and that the
time limit was extended to 5 A. NJ. IN
stead OF II A. NJ. very few drivers of
autos took advantage of the fact and
the streets of Perth Amboy we're
again deserted by the buzz wagons as
they have been on previous Sundays
since the fuel administrators request
for "gasiess" Sundays went into et-
feet.
The owners and drivers of autos In
this city have certainly lived up to
the request and they are somewhat
encouraged at this time by the report
that the abandonment of the .sgasiess
Sunday may soon take place and in
stead the substitution of a permanent
method OF restricting the use OF gas
oline and oil.
The exact form OF permanent con-
servation has not yet been deter
mined. The use OF gasoline and oil
cards Is under consideration but may
not be adopted because of the ex-
pense and detail involved In eperat-
ing such q system. The success of
gasoiineless Sundays has led the on
Gals to believe II will be possible to
work out a form OF voluntary ration
ing that will be lived up to.
