PROF. S. A. KRUSE
LIKES this CITY
New Normal Professor Says He's
Found Prima Facie Evidence
OF Thrift.

Cape Girardeau appears to me to
be fine place. declared S. A. Kruse
who will be professor in the school
of education at the Normal school this
year, last night, after he had visited
various parts of the city in company
with Prof. w. S. Dearmont, president
of the Normal school.
Il am quite sure that | shall like it
and | am anxious to get my family
here. There is one feature about Cape
Girardeau that is prima facie evidence
that it is alive and hustling.
at simply is this: You can not find
an empty house of any kind here. /
know, for that's what l have been try
ing to do all day.
Glow many small cities there are
where one may find numerous places
of ordinary size standing vacant! Here
/ find it is real job to locate q home.
anticipate, however, that after |
have been here for a while, | shall be
able to get located very nicely.
81 like the streets. here, the trees,
the lawns and the looks of the houses.
The Cape, it seems to me, has COM
binatiOn of a lot of things that go to
make a good place to live in"
Kruse is graduate of the Univer-
sity of Missouri. He is young man.
He took his first degree at the State
University in 1908. Since then he has
studied at the University of Chicago
and this spring took masters degree
at the University of Wisconsin, Madi-
son, Wis.
His home is in KirkwoOd, Mo-, a
suburb of st. Louis. He went to the
Kirkwood high school the year after
Prof. Dearmont left there to become
president of the Normal school.
He received his appointment to the
Normal school about two weeks ago.
He expects to bring his family to the
Cape about September 1.

RETAIL MERCHANTS PLAN
TO HOLD ANNUAL OUTING
Business Men and Families Nav Take
River EXcursiOn-LabOr Day
Picnic Approved.

Members of the Retail Merchants
Association who met last night at the
Commercial Club almost unanimously
voted to close their establishments on
Labor Day, Sept. 6 and join in the
Labor Day picnic.
Preliminary plans also were discuss
ed for an annual holiday and outing
for members of the association and
their employees. Stores will be closed
on that day also. A committee on ar
engagements was appointed as follows:
G. w. Setback, chairman; Alvin Berg
man and J. NJ. Allison, who are to
canvass all the members of the asso-
citation to learn how many of their en-
ployes may go on steamboat picnic.
The canvass will be made today and
it is the desire of the committeeman
that each merchant have his reply
ready today, so that it may be de-
termined if the steamboat excursion
on the steamer Cape Girardeau would
be practicable.
1t is proposed to have a banquet on
board the boat and other features, if
the number of persons who will take
part in the outing is not too large.

$1.90, making the amount of the war

HALF INCH OF RAIN FALLS

The rain which fell in Cape Girar-
deau and vicinity all day yesterday
was of the steady soaking kind that
does crops much good.
The rainfall started shortly after 6
o'clock in the morning and about a.
m. the downpour was very heavy.
Shortly after noon, the downpour
again was heavy, and about 5 o'clock
a third heavy shower passed over.
1t is estimated that about half
inch of rain fell during the day. Re
ports from farmers who were within
the area covered by the series of
showers report that the water did
their corn much benefit.
The rainfall, according to reports,
spread over a wide area. 1t was need
ed by the late corn, farmers say.

local fair association was $500.
Secretary Num- informed The Trib-
une last night that eighteen entries

horses to be here this year, the largest
number in the history of the associa-
ton.

arranged the same schedule of purses

race, $3.50. Motorcycle races.

es, $500 each. One running race, $75.
Motorcycle races.
Satmday-One harness race;
purse, $500. One trOtting race,
$1,000 purse. Special ten mile mo-
tOrcycle race, participated in by
winners on contests during the pre-
vious days.
"Our concessions this year will be
far superior to any we have ever had,
said Secretary Num- last night. awe
are offreing more money than we ever
did before. All of our space set aside
for concessions has been filled, and we
are receiving additional rqusts fol
daily.
9Th best string of horses ever seer
in Cape Girardeau will be here for the
fair. They can be entered until Sep
TENDER 2. | have already received
more entries than we had altogether
last year. But our purses are much
larger than we offered last year.
"The six towns in the Missouri-Ar-
kansas Fair Association are to give
away the same purses. The program
approved by the Cape association has
accepted by each of the other five
cities. The towns in this circuit are:
Cape Girardeau, Sikeston, Campbell
and Kennett, and Paragould and Pig
gott, which are in Arkansas"
