The Mayors message, in full,
follows:
''To the Honorable President pro tenn
and City Council. Cape Girardeau:
"Gentlemen:-As signilied by my
announcement when the matter came
before the council on March Goth, |
have fulfilled my intention to famili-
arize myself further in the matter Of
modern fre-fghting equipment, and l
now take this opportunity to report
the result of my investigation, and to
offer additional suggestions based
thereon.
"On Monday morning, March q.
Mr. Bowman, Mr.. Fowler and l
boarded the St Louis train for the
purpose Of making brief personal
study and examination Of the methods
and equipment applied by the st.
Louis fire department, as we'll as the
departments of some of the nearby
smaller cities.
AT St. Charles We found conditions
about the fire station but little differ
ent from our own. Their equipment
is meager and Of primitive type. They
have two stations, at each of which is
maintained one wagon, two horses and
two men. They realize their needs,
however, and are contemplating the
purchase Of q motor fire truck in the
near future.
university City maintains a mod
ern fire department equipped with
motor trucks Of similar design to
those used by the fire department of
st. Louis, and the men in charge, both
in University City and st. Louis, in
variably speak in terms highly favor
able to the motor equipment and have
come to regard it as an indispensable
adjunct to a modern fire department
an view of the information ac-
quired on the trip above referred to,
| would suggest that arrangements be
made for the purchase of a fully
equipped motor fire truck, a motor
hose truck and 1000 feet of hose; and
that $4,000 be designated as the
amount necessary to cover said
expense.
"The hose truck would prove of
great worth where two fires have
broken out at the same time in differ
ent sections of the city, and it would
be of particular value in case of a
small fire, where a run is required
over a stretch of muddy or uneven
streets.
Il would also suggest, as a matter
of both efficiency and economy, that a
skilled and experienced fireman, thor |
oughly familiar with the use of the
equipment contemplated, be employed
as fire chief, to remain at the station. |
thereby eliminating the necessity of |
the fourth man whose services have |
been required in the past to look after
the team at the scene of the fire. |
Under the proposed arrangement, the

opposed to saloons"
There were several irregular acts
committed by certain dry leaders, but
the vets contended themselves with
mere protests.
The prohibitionists were certain
that every councilman elected would
vote against the saloons. The vets
believed they would win, but they did
not expect to get more than two of
the four members of the council. The
same fight was made about thirty
years ago, and the drys carried the
city and closed the saloons. A year
later the city was almost in bank
ruptcy and the saloons were re-
licensed.

The Mayor, under an ordinance
which was passed in 1911 under the
administration of NJ. Z. Leming, has
received a salary of $500 4 year, and
each of the councilmen have received
$500 a year, payable in quarterly
sums.
Under the law, the counciImen could
not alter their own salaries, so that
the reduction will affect only those
who will be elected at the Tuesday
election. Next year part Of the coun-
cilmen will receive $3.50 per year and
their senior colleagues will draw the
regular $25 4 month.
When Mayor Kage's message was
read the council gave it a vote Of
approval, Councilman Fowler pointing
out the one exception to the two
thirds cut in the salaries Of council
men.
The council then took up the fire
department bill and set the date for
the election as April IS. On the
Mayors recommendation, the sum to
be asked for was fixed at $4,000.
The Mayor declared that he was as
sured that to obtain the equipment
that will place the Cape in firSt-clasS
shape for fire fighting, that amount
was necessary.
Two motor trucks will be purchased,
one carrying a powerful force pump
that will put the kick" into three
streams of water, as we'll as having
a large chemical tank and supply of
hose.
The other truck will be a lighter
car and will be equipped with hose
and a large chemical tank. 1t will
be without a force pump.
Il have been moved primarily by
what Mr.. Watson, the rate expert for
the State Insurance Commission, de-
clared to me and to The Tribune in
my zeal to see the city equipped with
an up-to-date fre-fghting machine"
the Mayor commented.
"Mr. Watson declared that if the
Cape does not furnish fire protection
with this proposed motor equipment,
he will approve fire insurance rates on
virtually everything here 10 per cent
higher than they are now.
Anyone who is a property holder
and has been doing business with fire
insurance people knows what that
means, and l know that Mr.. Watson
means what he says.
There has been considerable talk
about fire-prevention.
eve propose to combine with the
new equipment furnished, if the bonds
pass, reorganization of the fire de-
partment in such manner that it will
be a positive and constructive factor
in fre-prevention. Each will supple
ment the other"
The judges for the special election
will be appointed at the next regular
meeting of the council.

watching, and all the men will be at
liberty to exert their energies towards
subduing the flames.
81 would further recommend that
the appointment Of fremen be with
held pending the outcome of the pro-
posed special election.
''In the ordinance fixing the salaries
of the city officials, l would recon-
mend the following amendments:
81. Allow the city attorney COM
pensation through fees only, and dis
pose entirely with the fixed salary
feature of his employment;
"2. Reduce the salary of the Mayor
to $500 per year;
"3. Reduce the salary of councilmen
to 800 per year.

ITS TOO IMPORTANT
 DON'T WATT TILL
 AFTER CHRISTMAS

Our students are with Us from many different states and they do not go home for the holidays owing to the great distance, therefore, we have no vacation and new students may enroll any day and do splendid work. The sooner you enter, the sooner you will be through and holding a good position. Our school is like a big bank or mercantile establishment, it runs throughout the year, we are al- ways well organized and ready for new business, rendering the same ser vice at all times. Every student gets individual instruction; he is not held back by slow students, or crowded too fast by bright ones; he goes just as fast as his ability will permit Should he happen to be slow or backward in bis work, he is not embarrassed by others knowing how he is getting along. With our methods of indi- vidual instruction, and our own copy righted systems, we are demonstrat- ing that it is useless to attend a com mercial school teaching other systems and requiring from seven to ten months to finish the course, when they can finish with us in half the time at half the cost, be more efficient and get better position, because of their thorough and extensive training It is our practical methods, our personal attention and our modern systems that enable us to accomplish so much in so short a time.

paper reader knows" says J s. Speed, manager of the Arkansas Actuarial Bureau, that the great loss of life and property that used to be regarded as a regular thing on the Fourth of July has been cut down to a point which it was thought, a few years ago, i'm possible to reach. It was entirely matter of changed public sentiment.
 "The public is governed by princi- pies of common sense. Sooner or later the sensible thing happens-the req sonable sentiment prevails. That's why Christmas fires are decreasing year by year It is not reasonable or sensible to mar the festive holiday season by holocaust, loss of life, burned homes and broken families A few moments reflection is sufficient to prevent Christmas hazards in your home. Stop and think Will you put cotton and paper ornaments on your Christmas trees this year? Me tallic tinsel and non-infammable de- corations are cheap Will you use cotton to represent snow when you know that many, many fires have been caused by it. If you cant get pow dered mica, sometimes called "dia- mond dust" or asbestos fiber, better pass the "snow" up. What possible excuse could you make to yourself if your children are injured or your home burned through letting them light and play with the Christmas tree candles? And after Christmas get rid of the tree promptly. A dry Christmas tree burns like tender"

INQUIRIES ABOUT ARKANSAS.

Edward A. Pyne of Ninton, Iowa, writes that he and several of his neighbors are thinking about coming to Arkansas to get away from a cold climate and high priced land. They want to engage in general farming.
 From Hagerman, New Mexico, where it is too hot and too dry, T. Banks calls for information about Arkansas farm lands.
 A. L. Holmes, HOS 1-2 East 18th St, Los Angeles, Cal, wants home in Arkansas.
 Clarence L. Shaw of Osceola, Neb, and William Clark of Pineville, Mo-, are other homeseekers with eyes turned this way.
 Frank Pilgrim of Decorah, Iowa, and Mrs. D. V. Morgan of Lone Tree, Iowa, have heard about the mild win ters and low price of lands in Arkan- sas and are thinking about coming down here.
 Persons having farm lands to sell are invited to write direct to these people describing their land and in- forming them as to the crops, roads, schools, markets, and other advan- tages of their neighborhood.

RURAL CREDITS

You will remember that Congress passed a rural credit or farm loan bill. It is not entirely suited to the needs of the poor farmer without a home, and is not as far reaching as would like, but as far as it goes is a good law, and may later be modified to meet the needs of the 120,000 tenants, end enaUle the most thrifty and fru- gal ones to become home owners. In the meantime let Us consider the op- pOrtunities and advantages of the farm loan law in it's present form, and those who can profit by it's benefcence become its patrons. The federal farm loan board will in the next sixty days locate the l2 farm loan banks. Ar kansas may get one, but if not, the farmers can borrow from the nearest bank just as easy. The farm loan bank will be prepared to make loans in 90 days. They will loan money on land to the extent of one half the value of the land and one fifth the value of the buildings at not exceed ing six per cent interest per annum on what is known as the amortization plan, which means that the borrower pays a stated amount once year for IV, 70, 30, or 40 years, and that theses annual payments will repay the prin- clpal and interest at the end of that ume Loans may be paid off any tme after five years. Farmers can borrow money for these purposes:
 To buy land.
 To erect buildings.
 5 To pay debts of any kind.
 4 To buy implements, machinery or live stock.
 D To make improvements, drain age, etc
 . To buy fertilizer, etc, for mak- ing crops
 The farmer can borrow money for practically all the needs of the farm.  II man wants to buy a farm the iSfm loan bank will lend one half it's '"lue' If the farmer can pay down a small amount and the present owner VIII take a second mortgage on the U''"hce' the farmer can pay over to '"e owner the amount borrowed and OeVome a farm owner If he borrows V" 4o years time he can pay off his 'Oah and interest at the rate of S66.4 "year on each 100000.
