selor Knehans communicated with the
Secretary of State to ascertain wheth-
er the last State Legislature had
enacted new law regulating the IL
cense for dogs.
Mr.. Knehans was informed yester-
day that no such action had been taken
by the State Legislature, and there
fore the city ordinance will be en-
forced.
The new ordinance requires that q

Doughnuts! If one should have been
at Central High last Thursday and
happened to look toward the kitchen
door he would have seen a mad rush,
and for what? Doughnuts. The cook
ing class made "a dozen and sold them
at three for a nickel, and cleared
1855 which will go toward buying a
dinner set for the school. As so many
of the pupils and teachers did not get
any doughnuts, the cooking class made
almost as many as before, Friday
morning, which were sold equally as
fast as those the day before.

PLUMBING LECTURE
AT PARK THEATRE
Conf Club Wrangles Over En-
dorse ment of Lecture on San.
itary Plumbing.

An hour was devoted last night by
members Of the Commercial Club to 4
discussion as to whether to indorse
a pictorial lecture on sanitary plumb
ing to be given by a large plumbing
concern at the Park Theater during
the month of May. After lengthy
discussion, a motion was passed plac-
ing the matter in the hands of the
president and the secretary of the
Commercial Club.
A number of the members were of
the opinion that the lecture would be
of benefit to the city and its residents,
while others believed it was merely an
advertisement scheme for the COM
pany. The opposition was led by Mer-
Ger Wilson, Sam Sherman and w. H.
Stubblefeld, while Otto Kochtitzky
Secretary Martin and Prof. w. S.
Dearmont supported the lecture.
Stubblefeld made it known that if
the club would indorse the lecture, he
feared that Sam Carter, the dairy en-
thusiast, might ask the Commercial
Club to stage a "bull show" "If I
do, replied Mr.. Carter, l am satisfied
that / will have the largest attend
ance a show ever attracted in this
city"
Plans for the reception of the St.
Louis Symphony Orchestra April %

bers will constitute the only expense Of
bringing the musicians to the Cape.
A committee composed Of Messrs. A.
NJ. Tinsley, Charles Boutin, R. L. LAM
kin and Fred Groves was appointed by
Vice President Stafford to represent
the Commercial Club during the con-
vention Of the Missouri Association of
Public Utilities Companies, which will
be held in the Cape May II and Is.
About 400 delegates of the various
companies will be in attend
ance. The delegation will arrive on
on a steamer.
A movement toward publishing
new city directory was Endorsed by the
Commercial Club following a discus
sion during which the necessity of such
a book was pointed out. The work
on the directory has already been
taken up. The merchants will be call
ed upon to aid the enterprise with con-
tributions for advertisements.
The campaign to increase the men,
oership Of the Commercial Club will be

A wave of patriotism is sweeping
over Cape Girardean, and homes and
public buildings are being decorated
with the Stars and Stripes.
At meeting held yesterday even
ing by the Mems Club Of the Trinity
Lutheran Church, a resolution was
passed pledging the undivided support

ing and lowered in the evening.
The meeting held last night was a
special session called by the president
of the Mems Club. 1t was at the sug-
gestion of a number of the members
of the club that this action was taken
in order to demonstrate the loyalty of
the club to President Wilson and the
| administration.
This is the first religious organiza-
ton in Cape -Girardeau to show its
loyalty to the United States, and its
members are German-Americans. This
spirit is typical of the German-Amer-
| leans in Cape County.
A subscription to a fund for a flag
to be raised upon the Courthouse is
being taken up by D. A. Nichols, clerk
| Of the Common Pleas Court, and it is
expected that a sufficient sum can be

MAYOR KACE GIVES
FAREWELL ADDRESS

Before acceding the mayoralty chair
to his successor, Ex-Mayor Rage last
night addressed the members of the
old City Council at the completion of
the regular meeting, thanking them
for their cooperation in regulating
the city's affairs. He concluded his
speech by wishing his successor, Judge
Will Hirsch, successful administra-
ton.
"Six years ago." Mayor Rage said,
~ entered thi schair which I shall ac-
cede to my successor tonight. Barring
a few misunderstanding the council
men and | have co-operated in har-
mony. l made mistakes, but that is
only human, and l sincerely hope for
the good and welfare of the city that
my successor will DO better than
have done in the six years of my adj
ministration.
"My successor has announced that
he will conduct his administration on a
business basis, but do not see how he
can have better service than l did
as the council is composed of seven
men who served under my administra-
ton.
During the six years ] served as
chief executive of Cape Girardeau, |
was made subject to severe criticism,
just and perhaps unjust, but my shoul-
ders were broad, l carried a heavy
load My wish is that my successor
does not meet with the opposition
did while I was Mayor"
The resolution introduced by Coun-
Gilman Medley asking for the appro-
priation of fund for the purpose Of
converting a vacant lot on the corner
of William and Loripier street into Il
public park, was passed by the old
City Council over the protest of City
Councilman Charles Kaess, who has
been opposed to the proposition since
the ladies of the Civic Improvement
Association were forced to abandon
their plans for swimming pool on
this lot because of threats.
Councilman Kaess pointed out that
in his opinion it would be dead in
vestment for the city to expend any
money on the park. He thought it
more advisable to appropriate the
money for the reconstruction of streets
near the Fairgrounds Park.
The petition of several poolroom
owners who were charged an over-tax
by the city on their pool tables, ask
ing that the excess paid by them into
the city funds be refunded, was grant
ed The petitioners were Joseph Ca
lotti, D. A. Grim and r. C. Miller, who
formerly operated poolrooms in the
city. The total amount of the over
charge on the poolroom license Of the
three amounted to s165. The City Clerk
was ordered to draw warrants on the
city treasury to refund the money to
the petitioners.
At the conclusion of the meeting o:
the old City Council, Councilman Jay
E. Fowler, Charles Armgardt and w.
D. Black were replaced by the newly
elected councilmen, August Ruess-
zamp, Ben Vineyard and DR.. C. E.
Schuchert. Black and Armgardt did
not attend the closing meeting.
