the City Park is given universal ap-
prevail the citizens and council reeog-
nizing the many advantages and bene-
fits arising therefrom. The time for
holding the Fair comes at q season
when the park has ceased to be a
place of attraction for the summer
visitors. 1t brings large numbers of
guests to the city, and the rental OBJ
tanned is of great importance in the
maintenance and upkeep Of the park.
In order to obMate inconvenience
and delay, ! would respectfully sug-
gest that in the future, the council
men should endeavor to have the nee
essary work of street improvement
commenced in their respective wards
in time that the contracts can be COM
pleted during the summer months.
l am convinced of the necessity of
maintaining in connection with the
Fire Department, Volunteer Firemen
in each Ward, and l would recommend
that the present ordinance be amend
ed to cover such provision.
Before closing, desire to commend
the members of this council for the
many necessary acts in which they
have prominently displayed the pro-
gressive spirit essential to the welfare
and best interests Of the city, among
the most important of which l might
enumerate as follows:
Widening and extending Main street,
now under way; establishing benefit
district and widening and extending
streets in West End, now under way;
construction of concrete streets and
sidewalks; purchase of park, and pur-
chase of modern fire equipment.
1t is gratifying that in the perform
ance OF these most important duties,
the decisions were most often acclaim
ed without dissension Of any member,
and when, as rarely occurred, a min
ority vote was cast. l strive to &C
cept the adverse contentious as being
offered in sincerity, though held er-
roneous by the majority vote of their
fellow-members.
From available sources of authentic
information concerning the manner in
which the work of the council has been
received by the citizens, | am pleased
to announce that general satisfaction
is expressed, the only adverse criticism
openly offered, being a vent Of spite
from sources too insignificant for
classification and too remote and IN
reliable for consideration or serious
thought.
Thanking you gentlemen, for your
hearty cooperation, and trusting that
the same pleasing relations may con-
tinue, am, Very respectfully,
A. F. Rage, Mayor.

MILK IN WINTER

Why do your COWS give less milk
in winter than they do in summer
Just because nature does not supply
them with grasses and green food
But we have come to the assistance
of Dame Nature with B. A. Thomas
Stock Remedy which contains the very
ingredients that the green feed sup
plies in season, only of course, in a
more highly concentrated form. We
guarantee that this remedy will make
your cows give more milk, and better
milk, with the same feed.

COMMISSION TO
PASS ON ARMOR
CITIES JAN. 9
Cape Girardeau Expected to
be Placed on List
Next Tuesday.
THREE MEN WILL GO

Urge This City Before
officials.

Whether Cape Girardeau will have
| a chance to secure the E11 100000
Government armor plate plant, Will be
known next Tuesday, when the COM
mission, authorized to select the loca-
ton, will meet in Washington to go
over the list of applicants. There are
more than l0C cities on this list. Cape
Girardeau is said to have an excellent
chance because Of its location and
other natural advantages.
The commission is composed CT three
experts, who will look into every de-
tail Of the brief presented by each
city. Cities with the most advantages
will be put on the list to be visited by
the commission and the other cities
will not be considered longer.
Three men from Cape Girardeau
are aiding Congressman Russell make
the fight for the Cape. r. B. Oliver
will be in Washington Saturday to as
sist |. r. Kelso and W. D. Vandiver
in presenting this city's brief.
In discussing the matter with a rep
resentative of The Tribune last night,
N. f. Leming, the newly-elected presi-
dent of the Commercial Club, was OPP
timistic over the prospect of bringing
this plant to the Cape. He said the
strongest competitors Cape Girardeau
would have would be some city in the
East, perhaps in West Virginia. Char
lesion, W. Va, he said, had an ideal
location, and like Cape Girardeau, has
many other advantages.
"If the West is to be considered in
this contest" he said, then | am con-
fdent Cape Girardeau will get the
plant. But, the East has a number Of
cities that aro on par with the
Cape, and the commission may select
place that is Is close to the Allan
tic Ocean as tic faw permits the ioca-
ton of the plant to be. This would
be on account of the hig:, freight
rates"
Cape Girardeau, 1Ir. Leming said,
would have nothing to fear from Cairo,
or Hannibal. OF Metropolis, or Evans
vile or any other city located in the
West. Cairo has had q representative
in Washington for more than 4 month
and this man has not even yet been
able to confer with the commission.
Other cities have met the same fate,
and for that reason, it is thought no
location in the West can offset the
advantages Cape Girardeau can offer.
The commission that will select the
location for the plant will begin its
inspection trip after examining the
briefs sent in by the various cities
seeking the plant. This will be the
latter part of next week. The busI-
ness men of the Cape are of the
unanimous opinion that Cape Glrar-
deau will have a good chance if the
commission can be induced to visit this
place. And the efforts now being
made to get hearing will result III
success, everyone agrees.

MAIN STREET TO Be
PAVED, IS BELIEF
Property Owners Considering
Replacing Wood Blocks
With Macadam-

4 meeting Of more than thirty
property owners on Main street Was
held yesterday afternoon ct the Com
mercial Club to determine what shall
be done to alleviate the depIorabIe
conditions of the streets caused by the
heavy dOwnpOur Tuesday.
1t was minated that the streets
damaged by the flood would be recon
structed with concrete and the wooden
blccks now covering the streets would
be removed as soon as possible. Def
mite action was not taken, however.
A representative of the Information
al Cement Manufacturers Association
Of Kansas City attended the meeting
and told the property owners that it
--ould be a waste of money TO relay
the wooden blocks. and explained then
the advantage of the concrete streets.
He assured those present that the
association would send a man to the
Cape to oversee the construction work
n order to have the task properly
done. This has been done in all cities
where concrete streets have been con-
structed. The concrete work is guar
;nteed for . number of years, and in
order to insure this, the supervising
expert is employed.
The heavy rain Of Tuesday ruined
Broadway from Fountain to Main
street, washing nearly all the wooden
blocks loose. They are being removed
by a gang Of laborers. Several other
streets were badly damaged, but they
were recovered with the blocks. Main
street, between Broadway and indie
rendence street, was only slightly
damaged and it is thought that 4 re-
construction of this portion of the
street will not be necessary for
number of years to come.
A committee was appointed few
days ago by the property owners Of
Main street to call on all the property
owners of the business district asking
them to sign a petition for the recon-
struction and repaving Of the business
streets.
