PLAN TO PRESERVE
FAIR Is EXPLAINED
W. II. Bohnsack Jr. Urges City to
Organize New Association
After Grounds are Sold,

William H. BOhnsack Jr., has CON
ceived an idea which insurcs the con-
tinuatiOn of the Cape County Fair aft
er the grounds are purchased by the
city, and it will make it more popular
than ever before.
He proposes to form a new organi-
cation and the stock is to be sold in
limited amounts to the public. The
money obtained through the sale of
the stock is to be used to cover any
deficits that might accrue when incle-
ment weather mars the Fair.
There is a city in Illinois which has
adopted this plan and it works to per
lection he said. "The Fair associa-
ton does not own the grounds 1t mere
ly takes charge of the Fair and par
ticipates in the profits, if there are
any.
"Thc scheme has proved big sue
cess in Illinois. The stockholders in
the Fair association are not permitted
to vote at the election of officers. The
public elects them. This is the plan:
On the day the County Fair opens,
list of the stockholders is posted at
the entrance of the fairgrounds.
Every person who buys a ticket is
entitled to cast one vote, and he votes
for the men in the list he likes best.
This arOunse sintercst among the pub
lie and therefore helps to swell the
crowd. For instance, should a certain
man have friend he is anxious to see
elected, he buys a number of the tick
cts and distributes among his friends.
This sends many people to the Fair
who under ordinary conditions would
not attend. And it keeps interest
aroused.
"Under this plan, there is always
some money in the treasury. OF course
the association might lose one year,
but it would overcome the loss the
next year No one could lose anything.
and it would perpetuate the Fair, and
that is exactly what the people want
done.
"The scheme, as worked in Illinois,
forbids one man owning majority
of the stock. 1t places limit and the
result is that the stock is widely dis
tributed. In the end the city is the
winner. The Fair association must i'm
prove the grounds for every Fair,
which saves the city this expense.
81 have discussed this proposition
with number of friends and they are
much interested. l feel certain we
could organize the association without
any difficulty and it would solve the
problem of the future of the Fair"

INJUNCTION TO HALT.
FRISCO COAL RAISE
I. r. KelsO to Act for City Against
Naturalization to
Aid.

The Frisco will be enjOined from
putting into effect the advanced coal
rate from the Marion, Ill. district into
Cape Girardeau if the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission does not grant a
rehearing of the case within a few
more hours.
Plans for the Injunction were dis
cussed yesterday and Attorney |. r.
KelsO, of ST. Louis, who will be in
charge of the city's case against the
Frisco, is preparing the petition asking
the Courts order restraining the rail-
road from using the new rate pub
lished
1t became known a few days ago
that the coal rate from Illinois into
the Cape had been advanced from 60
cents ton, as per contract between
the city and the Frisco, to IS cents a
ton for the same haul.
The advance was brought about by
the publication of new tariffs by the
! c. & F.. l., the road upon which the
coal shipments into the Cape originate.
These were approved by the Interstate
Commerce Commission after hearings
on the tariffs in Chicago last Febru-
airy. The city was not represented at
the hearing to protest the advance.
A request for new hearing on the
Cape Girardeau rate has been wired to
the secretary of the commission at
Washington, but till late last night, no
reply to the petition had been received
by Mayor Rage.
In order to go ahead with the fight
against the rate, the matter of an in
junction in the Federal Court was dis
cussed. Kelso now is examining the
situation to ascertain whether it will
be within the jurisdiction of a Federal
Court to issue such restraining order
after the Commerce Commission has
approved the tariffs under which the
advanced rate obtains.
Kelso did not stop in the Cape on
his way to st. Louis from Bloomfield,
as it was believed he would Saturday
night.
The determination among business
interests of the Cape to see the rate
advance of Is cents fought is spread
ing to various parts of the county.
Mayor Rage yesterday when in
Jackson talked with Joseph Schmucke
of the Press Brick Company there.
Schmucke is behind a movement in
Jackson and other points in Cape
County outside of Cape Girardeau
which get an advantage from the
Cape's coal rate, to raise funds to aid
in fighting the advanced rate.

MEETING OF THE
CITY COUNCIL
Petitions of the Candidates for Mem
bers of Council Found to be
Sufficient.

All members were present Friday
night at the special meeting of the
city council and the full time devot-
ed to the canvassing of the four pc
titions filed. The petition of w. w.
Pearce was filed Thursday, Sept.
Goth, making the fourth one filed.
Only one name was found which was
attached to all four petitions. There
were few names signed regarding
which the council was in doubt as to
their being real estate owners. The
petitions were found to be sufficient
Councilman Hahne moved that that
of w. w. Pearce be approved. Mayor
Banks thought it just as we'll that
all the petitions be included in one
motion, but the council thought 9TH
erwise and Mr.. Pearce's petition was
approved first. 1t may be that Mr..
Hahne concludes that this action
will give Mr.. Pearce the advantage
Of first place upon the ballot, but as
the Freeman-Tribune understands it
the names must rotate in the various
wards. The petitions of J. L. KAN
rar, R. G.. Clark and M. L. McCol-
Tough, filed Wednesday, were also APP
proved.

Some new helpers have come to as
sist us in carrying on the work in
this territory, so there will be street
meetings and such other meetings as
may be arranged for, in the near flu
ture. We hope to secure hall soon
for regular services. Many calls for
clothing have come in already; most
of these are for children's clothes
or something to make over.
Ten families have been enjoying the
bread donated by the bakeries and
some have been supplied with cloth
ing but it may readily be seen that
we need more help to take care OF
the calls for assistance that come In
every day. We want to thank every
one who has been so very kind and
generous in giving and helping us
get a good start. May the LORD s
richest blessings be upon you all ana
His help keep us faithful to our mis-
sion. Maj. Emery has recently been
promoted to the rank of colonel, but
