interviewed representatives of the
Government, to inform them that
John and Leo Job had publicly stated
that IN the event of war they would
be for Germany and against the
United States.
Mills told the authorities that he
had refrained from entering into
discussion with the two Jobs about
the war, because he did not want to
have any trouble. John Job, he said.
announced that he was for Germany
against the United States, and Leo
said he would do likewise. Mills re-
manned silent, he told the authorities.
Finally the elder Job asked Mills
how he stood in reference to the con-
troversy between Uncle Sam and the
Kaiser. Mills responded that he was
an American and was for America and
asserted that to do as the Jobs threat
ened to do branded them traitors.

CEMETERY ASSN. TO
HOLD UNIQUE BALL
Also Decides to Ask For Bids For
Pagoda Over Lorimier
Graves.

The Cemetery Association yester-
day decided to begin asking for con-
tributions for the maintenance of the
city graveyards within the next few
days when a number of ladies, affili-
ated with the organization, will canvass
the business and residential sections.
The plans for the years work were
arranged yesterday afternoon at a
meeting at the home of Mrs. NJ. ].
Koeck.
The Colonial dance, which was plan
ned sometime ago by the cemetery
workers, will be given shortly after
Easter, it was decided yesterday. A
committee, OF which Mrs. Ella Denip-
sey is chairman, was appointed, to
make arrangements for the ball. This
unique entertainment, it is believed,
will prove. interesting as well as prof
table to the organization.
A beautifully crocheted table cover
was auctioned off yesterday and was
won by Mrs. Amelia Bader. The sum
of $40 was realized from this auction.
1t was decided yesterday to ask for
bids for the construction of the pagoda
which will be erected over the graves
of Don Luis Lorimier and his wife in
the old Catholic cemetery. Cape Cir
ardeau contractors will be asked to
submit bids within the next few weeks.
The edifice, which will be IA by IL
feet, will be built of concrete. 1t will
include a roof and four pillars. The
cover will be built to slope from a
ridge in the center to the four sides.
The structure will be surrounded by
climbing roses and other blooming
plants, which will be planted as soon
as the pagoda is completed.
The marble slabs resting on the
graves of Lorimier and his wife were
recut recently by the association. The
constant wearing of the elements had
'NAS'S~' Iiic iiiSIi lPtiOll " SuCn oil cS-
tent that it was hardly legible.
Another improvement to be made bv
The association is the construction of g
wall on the Washington avenue side
Of the cemetery. The graveyard has
been without proper protection on the
the north side since the new street was
laid out. A large gate at the entrance
on this side of the cemetery will be
erected by the Daughters of American
Revolution.
A meeting of the Cemetery Asso-
citation will be held shortly after
Easter. The object of this meeting
will be the discussion of the plans for
the colonial dance. The solicitors are
expected to submit their reports to
the officers of the association.

R. K. WILSON HEADS
JACKSON COM'L CLUB.
c. G.. Oliver Advocates 81 ,000, 600
Bond Issue for Good
Roads.

A special meeting of the Jackson
Commercial Club was held last night
for, the purpose of electing officers and
appointing a committee TO represent
the club at the convention of Federated
Commercial Clubs to be held next
Tuesday and Wednesday in st. Louis.
R. Kent Wilson, postmaster OF
Jackson, was chosen president to sue
coed A. D. Milde, who declined to &C
cept the nomination for reelection. He
held the presidency of the club for
two years. NJ. G. La Pierre was elect
ed vice president, John G. Putt was
again made secretary, and Andy Will
liams, treasurer The officers will be
installed at meeting to be held sub
ject to a call of the president which
will be sometime next week.
Secretary Putt, c. c. Oliver and
Charles w. Henderson will be the
Jackson delegates to the convention in
St. Louis. Several other members
promised to make an effort to attend
the meeting.
A movement was started toward
establishing Y. NJ. A. c. branch in
the county seat. Several members
Of the club have become interested in
this matter and. will try to solicit the
aid of number of others in organic
ing q young mems association.
The improvement of the public
schools in Jackson was brought up fol
discussion by Clarence Grant. a mem
Der of the School Board. He explained
that the schools in jackson had beer
found inadequate by the State Inspec-
! tor who visited the county seat severa
days ago, and for that reason he sug-
gested that immediate steps be taker
to improve all Jackson schools.
Special attention was called to thu
teachers training school, which was
found to be too small to answer its
purpose.
c. G. Oliver advocated a good roads
bond issue OF S1,000,000 to improve
highways through Cape County. H
pointed out that in several counties il
Illinois the construction of county
roads cost at the rate Of $4,000 pei
mile. Considering the fact Chat {
great deal of the material necessary
for the construction of highways could
be found in Cape County, the expenses
would not be more than $4,000 pc,
mile, he said.
A committee of eight members Of
the Commercial Club was appointed to
meet the two representatives of the
Huntington Shoe and Leather Co., of
Huntington, Ind, which IS trying tc
locate a shoe factory in the county
seat. The agents of the concern are
expected to arrive in few days, ard
will be shown the sites that are
thought to be suitable for the erection
Of the factory.

SCHOOL BOARD ASKS
INCREASE OF TAXES
Will Face Deficit of 81, 1000 If
Tax Valuation is Not
Increased.

Unless the tax valuation of real es-
tate in the city is increased the School
Board will face a shortage of at least
$1,000, it was stated at meeting of
the School Board last night. In ad-
dition to the regular appropriation,
the School Board vii Task for an -addi-
tional amount of 10 cents on the 500
valuation to defray the expenditures Of
street taxes which the School Board
has to pay during the coming year.
If this additional appropriation is
granted by the voters, the School
Board will have a fund of at least
$4,000 out of which it can pay its share
of the improvement taxes for streets
in the city. A motion to appropriate
$1,000 for the improvement of the
streets in front of the Lorimier and
the Central High School was passed.
The money will be paid early next
week.
Judge Edward D. Hays appeared be-
fore the board in behalf of the Vogel-
sang Construction Co., and asked that
a bill due the company be paid. The
bill amounting to nearly $500 was con-
tracted several years ago when the
Vogelsang Construction Co. equipped
the Lincoln School with a heating ap-
paratus. The money was ordered paid
Plans for the improvement of sew
eral schools that have been completed
by an architect in ST. Louis were dis
cussed. 1t was decided to first i'm
prove the Washington School site by
planting trees in front of the building
and laying the sidewalk along the
street leading to the schoolyard. This
improvement will cost $3.50.
The question of whether the School
Board should give up a strip of the
Broadway School yard along Themis
street for the purpose of widening
Themis street was discussed at length,
but no definite action was taken in
the matter. The committee appointed
several weeks ago to get an option
on a LOT west of the schoo!yard sub
mitted q partial report to the board
last night. The committee said it ap-
peared improbable at this time that
the lot could be purchased. but it was
not decided whether the board would
go on record as opposed to the i'm
provement of the street.
All members expressed themselves
in favor Of any improvement, but the
existing conditions do not Justify max
ing the donation to the city. it was
stated by several members. 1t was
pointed out that the schoolyard would
be too small for the children if the
strip were taken off for the widening
of Themis street.
A letter written by City Counselos
knehans asking that the School Board
70 Up a strip of II feet for the i'm
provement was read and referred to
the special committee which was ap-
pointed several weeks ago. 1t is al
most certain now that the School
Board will not yield to the city's re-
quest unless the city indemnifes the
board for the loss of this property or
makes some arrangements for the ac-
quirement of the lot adjoining the
school.
