McENDREE BROS. CLOSE THEIR
LIVERY STABLE ON SPANISH

McEndree Bros, who conducted ;
livery business in a building on North
Spanish street owned by Ex-Mayoi
T. A. Kaye, have closed their stables
thus leaving the city without liv-
cry barn. They announced that they
discontinued their business because of
the fact that automobiles have taken
the place of horses and it was not
profitable to keep horses.
Mr.. Rage said Yesterday evening
he did not think he would reopen the
stable, which has been used for livery
purposes for several decades. If he
can arrange a contract with on auto
mobile dealer of the city, he said, he
would convert the building into q
first class garage structure.

In referring to Sergt. Wayman's
mission he said he felt ashamed that
representative of another nation
should have to come to the United
States to tell the American citizens
what part they should take in this
war and what their duties are in the
present war. Each one should know
his duty without being told.
Before beginning his speech in
behalw Of the Liberty Loan, Judge
Hunt paid a splendid tribute to Cape
Girardeau and the entire county. He
said he had beentraveling through the

more than two years in tie trenches
after he had resigned q splendid po-

the call for volunteers. He told of

speech arrived IT the conclusion that
there never was a more ruthless foe
and never more frightful enemy on
the battle fed than the Germans now
in the trenches in Flanders and

When Sergt. Wayman who was

was introduced by DNean Stafford,
