ERNSTBRINKMANN81
and HIS Wife IS Is
Pioneers Celebrate Birthdays To-
gether-They WOOed in
Germany.

Ernst Brinkmann ST., and his wife,
Lena Brinkmann, of 514 South Fred
erick street, two of the Cape's oldest
citizens and well known all over Cape
County, yesterday simultaneously cele-
brated their birthdays.
Mrs. Brinkman was 70 years old and
her husband 81, her senior by years.
The old couple were surprised at their
home on Frederick street by group
of friends who called upon them in the
afternoon and made the date of the
celebration one of festivity.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Brinkmann came
to the Cape when this part of Mis-
souri, was considered wild. Brinkmann
had been in the United States after
leaving Brunswick, Germany, only two
years when he sent for his sweetheart
to come to the Cape.
She arrived and shortly afterward
the wedding took place. A unique fea-
ture of their career is that next Mon
day, they will celebrate their golden
wedding, the fiftieth anniversary of
their marriage in the Cape.
Their friends are planning to make
the wedding anniversary a real cele-
bration.
The Brinkmanns have three children
Ernst Brinkmann Jr., Charles Brink
man and Mrs. August Vogelsang, wife
of the building contractor. They have
three grandchildren.
For many years Brinlmann was an
employee in the brickyard in the Cape,
but for the last ten years he has been
retired. He and his wife have lived in
the little frame dwelling they now oc-
cupy for great many years. 1t is al
most a historic landmark in the Cape.
Those who attended the surprise
party for the old couple were: Mrs. A.
Stoffragen, Mrs. ]. Look, Mrs. NJ.
Kimpel, Mrs. P. B. Lang, Mrs. G.
Obermiller, Mrs. A. Kaempfer and
Mrs. August Vogelsang.

GERMAN-AMERICANS
TO PICNIC OCT. 10
Effort to be Made to Have Noted
German Lecturer Address
Gathering.

The Cape Girardeau German-Ameri-
can Alliance last night decided to hold
its second annual fall picnic at the old
Fairgrounds on Sunday, October 10.
Arrangements for one of the big
gest German picnics ever held will be-
gin shortly. President Charles Blatt-
ner, of the Alliance, together with
Secretary Capt. Harry Bridges, will
name a committee within few days
to take charge of the picnic arrange
ments and their work will commence
at once.
Correspondence will commence at
once between President Blattner and
DIR. Kuehnemann, of Balm University,
Germany, an exchange professor lee
turing in this country, in an effort to
secure his services for lecture on the
date of the picnic.
Kuehnemann is lecturing in this
country under an exchange arrange
ment whereby an American professor
is doing the same work in Germany.
The cost of obtaining the Kuehne-
mann lecture is $25, the money being
used for the German Red Cross funds.
The Alliance last night met in the
hall over the Haas Bros. saloon at
Good Hope and South Sprigg streets.
About 100 men attended the meeting,
following which there was luncheon.
President Blattner has turned over
the old Fairgrounds, west of the Cape,
to the organization for the picnic. In
the resolution setting the date for the
picnic, no mention was made of the
place where the affair would be held,
it being taken for granted by all the
members of the organization that it
would be held at the old Fairgrounds.
President Blattner last night said
that on account of the distance from
the city, special automobile arrange
ments for hauling people to and from
the picnic grounds will be made by the
committee to take charge of the en-
tertainment.
1t is anticipated that German
Americans from all parts of Cape
County and probably several from
other counties in this part of the State
will attend the picnic. Preparations
will be made to take care of big
crowd.
A feature will be music and some
folk dances of a unique character,
probably will be staged as part of the
entertainment. The affair will last all
day.
The Alliance in announcing the pic
mic declares that it is for members
only, the idea being to make every
person who wishes to attend the picnic
and is not already a member of the
organization, a member in good stand
ing and paid up in the treasury.

PLANS FOR FAIR
ALMOST COMPLETE
President Blattner Announces
Farmers Will Be Given
"Pass Out" Checks.

President Charles Blattner and Sec
rotary ]. T. Num- Jr., of the Cape
County Fair and Park Association, to-
day will move the Fair office from the
Houck Building to the Fairgrounds in
preparation for the last weeks work
before the opening of the big show.
Arrangements are virtually COM
plete for one of the best racing meets
ever held in Missouri. The stables of
horses surpass anything ever gather
ed together in Southeast Missouri.
The prizes that have been posted at
the Cape County Fair have attracted
some of the best horse flesh in the
racing business, and within another
week the race horse owners will be ar
irving with their ponies.
Entries in the purse races will be
closed within a few more hours, max
ing the entry in all the races the lar
gest in the history of the Fair.
The midway already has been viz
tually entirely taken up by conces-
sions. Secretary Num- today will go
to Pinckneyville where he will engage
several more concessions to complies
big show in addition to the races and
exhibits.
Indications are that a big line of
farm exhibits will be brought to the
Cape for the Fair. Several prizes are
scheduled for the various farm ex-
hibits.
President Blattner yesterday en-
phasized the fact that a pass out ar
rangement will be made with farmers
coming to the Fair so that they won't
have to pay second admission charge.
Many queries have been directed to
Blattner regarding this proposition in
the last few days.
The Fair catalog announces that no
pass-out checks of any kind will be
given. This is to eradicate a grating
system that has been practiced by I'M
scrupulOus concessionaries who sell
pass-out checks and re-enter them
selves on their concession badges.
The farmers will be taken care of
by the gate keepers, Blattner said.
Preparations for the burlesque pa
rade to be given two nights during the
Fair week by the Commercial Club are
going forward rapidly. George Patton
is in st. Louis looking after the cos
tunes and floats that will appear in
the magnificent exhibition.
The parade will make up in South
Cape at some point south of Haarig.
It's course will cover Broadway, Main
street, independence, Spanish, Good
Hope street, through Haarig, Pacific
to Broadway and thence to the Fair
grounds.
Every part of town will have the
opportunity of witnessing the parade
and frequent stops will be made along
the route for spectacular acrobatic ex-
hibitions on one of the floats.
The men who are to become animals
in the affairs already are beginning to
practice in order to mimic their parts
well.

MOONSHINE PLANT
MAYCAUSE SCANDAL
Still Found on HOke Smith S
Farm only Block From
His Home.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 21.-Arrests and
sensational disclosures are expected to
follow the discovery of large plant
for making "moonshine" whisky on
United States Senator Hoke Smiths
country place near Atlanta Sunday.
Internal revenue agents are making
a thorough investigation, and it was
secretly stated today that arrests
would follow within a short time. The
still, which has large capacity, and
there were indications that whiskey
had been made on the day of its dis
covery, appeared to have been in use
for long period of time.
The plant was within 300 yards of
the home of Senator Smith, one of the
most pronounced prohibitionists in the
South, and within 500 yards Of the ris-
idence of United States District At
torney Hooper Alexander, who is a
radical prohibitionist. The still was
standing on property beloning to Sen
ator Smith, and he could have hurled
a stone to it from the rear of his yard.
Senator Smith signed Georgia's
Statewide prohibition law when he
was Governor of this State.
Measures and other equipment found
at the plant leads the revenue agents
to believe that the still had been pro-
ducing whisky for the market, and had
been the source of large revenue to
those who operated it.

CLOSE AT NOON
 DURING FAIR
Governor Hunt Calls on All State, County and City Officials to Shut up Their Offices in Afternoons of Coming Week

i Governor Hunt yesterday issued a i proclamation calling on all of the state county and city officials to close their respective offices at noon each day during the coming week, in order that all employees might be given an oppor- tunity to attend the afternoon sessions of the state fair. Accordingly aI of the offices in the above-named de-
 partments will be closed at twelve o'clock noon throughout the entire week.
 This was done for the purpose of fol- lowing out the custom of former years and also to encourage attendance at the fair, the presumption being that the daily attendance would be greatly increased if all of the people in the em- ploy of the state and county should be given a chance to attend
 lt is also understood that a majority of the mercantile and business houses of the city will close at noon for at least two or three days during the time that the state fair is going on
 The freight offices of both the Ari- zona Eastern and the Santa Fe rail- roads will be closed on the afternoons Of Thursday and Saturday. November IS and 20 on account of the fair.

Suggested by 1ugh Chalmers, New Clubs Will Embrace Educational,
 Social ard Civic Features

Addressing the entire offiue force and factory department heads of the Chalmers Motor Company recently, Hugh Chalmers advocated the found ing of two clubs for the young men and women employees of the company.
 The clubs, to be known as the Young Mems Chalmers club and tho Young V omen's C---5Ts club, will combine fraternal and educational features and will further serve to develop a friendly cooperation be- tween the various departments.
 President Chalmers suggestions for the twin clubs came as a climax of an informal talk at the opening of the new auditorium in the big plant.
