treasurer at St. Louis, has assured
Cape Girardesu of his support in the
fight of the Cape to secure the Gov
eminent armor plate plant, for which
$11,o00,0O0 have been appropriated

conference with Mr.. Vandiver regard
ing the Government plant.
Mr.. Vandiver assured Leming that
he would come to Cape Girardeau to
help the city in its fight for the plant

Cape Girardeau. Although St. Louis
is trying to land the plant, Mr.. Van
diver said he would support Cape Cir

CAPE LARRUPS The
DEXTER B. B. TEAM
Basket Ball Season Opens Here
With Victery For
Home Team.

The basket ball team of the Cape
High School inaugurated the season
on its own court by trouncing the Dex-
ter team by score Of 90 to q last
night. The battle was hard fought,
and only decided in the last half, when
several baskets, thrown by Lehr and
Ranney, of the local team, gave the
Cape boys a comfortable lead.
The star of the defeated team was
Sisler, who played left guard. He
made five field goals, while only one
Of his teammates, Clark, had one goal
to his credit.
The victory of the local team was
principally due to the excellent team
work. None Of the local players at
tempted to star Individually, but all
united their playing strength against
the opponents in order to down him
After the game had been put on ice,
five substitutes were inserted in the
lineup. They were: Mcbride, Mat
thews, J. Ranney, Black and Doherty.
They all managed to hold the Dexter
team for the rest of the game.
Prof. Courleux of the Normal was
the referee. Goodin was selected time
keeper and Prof. Dunn kept score.
The lineup of the Cape team was:
Baird, r.f.; Lehr, If; Msssingill, c.;
Ranney, r.g.; Kinder. l.g. The Dexter
team lineup was as follows: Pruitt,
r.f.; Sisler, Ii; Stone, c.; Clark, r.g.;
Buchanan, l.g. They had two substi-
tutes, namely Vaught and Hart.
The game was largely attended and
every point scored by the Cape team
was applsuded by the spectators. Next
Friday the Cape boys will meet the
Sikeston team and the following Fri
day the Bloomfield High School team
will be here.

ARKANSAN'S LEG IS
AMPUTATED In CAPE
Limb Was Broken When Leg
Rolled on Him From
Train.

Frank Gardner, a timberman of
Biggers, Ark, had his left leg am
putated at the knee at st. Francis Hos
pital last night. The patient has been
confined to the hospital for several
weeks, suffering from q fracture of the
limb. The operation became neces-
saly, when the attending physician
saw that his patient was threatened
with blood poisoning.
Gardner was brought here three
weeks ago. He was hurt in Biggers
while piling timber. The timber had
been loaded on a freight car, and the
stakes of the car gave away under
the weight of the timber and several
logs rolled on Gardeners leg. The left
leg was badly mangled below the
knee.
He was brought to the Cape, but
because Of his condition, an operation
could not be performed upon his ar
rival. When it became apparent that
blood poisoning vas developing, the
operation was performed.

MAYOR BELIEVES
CAPE WILL LAND
THEARMORP PLANT
Executive Says He Would
Favor Extending City To
Take In Site.
WOULD MAKE CAPE
MILES LONGER
Plant Employees Would Get All
Conveniences, Mayor
Announces.

Mayor Rage announced yesterday
that in the event Cape Girardnau is
chosen as the location for the new
81 100000 armor plate plant, he will
extend the city limits to include the
home of the plant, even though a site
three miles from the present BOUNDARIES
of the city is selected.
of the Government picks Cape Cir
ardeau to locate the plant" said the
Mayor, eve must insure every con-
venience to the plant and to the en-
ployes of it.
Il would be willing to extend the
city limits in any direction three miles
in order to take in the Government
plant. By bringing the plants loca-
ton within the city boundries, it would
be supplied with light and water from
the city as well as modern street i'm
provements.
From what I am told, there seems
to be an excellent chance of Cape Cir
ardeau being selected. Senator Oliver
appears to be confident that the plant
will come here, and I hope he is cor
rect.
Everything that could be done to
get it has been done, and if we should
be fortunate enough to get the plant
the city must do everything possible to
afford modern conveniences. If the
plant comes here, it will not be built
in the city proper. suppose it would
go a mile or so in either direction.
But wherever it might be located, hun
dreds of houses would be built, and
these people would want electric lights.
city water and paved streets. By ex-
tending the city, we could accommo-
date them.
"The city is prepared to go the limit
to take care of the employees of the
plant, if the project is located here.
Fire protection would, of course, be
necessary, and arrangements would
have to be made for that. But / don't
fancy there would be the slightest o.
lection"
