Russell Dearmont, a young lawyer of Cape Girardeau, has been appointed a federal commissioner by Judge D.P. Dyer; F.A. Kage, who for many years alone held that position in Cape Girardeau, will keep that post if he desires it.

The special moving pictures of the Sixth Regiment band, Cape Girardeau's own Schuchert band, and Company L will be shown at the Park Theater tomorrow night; these pictures were made especially for the Park as the local boys were put through their stunts at the training camp in Nevada, Missouri.
