(3) Making a false affidavit in an application for a license under this chapter;
(4) Failing to keep an orderly place or house;
(5) Selling, offering for sale, possessing, or knowingly permitting the consumption on the licensed premises of any kind of intoxicating liquors, the sale, possession, or consumption of which is not authorized under the license;
(6) Selling, offering for sale, possessing, or knowingly permitting the consumption of any intoxicating liquor which has not been inspected and labeled according to the laws of the state; or

(C) Automatic revocation/suspension. A license shall be revoked automatically if the licensee’s state liquor license is revoked or if the licensee is convicted in any court of any violation of RSMo. Chapters 311 or 312. A license shall be suspended automatically if the licensee’s state liquor license is suspended, and the suspension shall be for a term not less than that imposed by the state.
(D) Effect of suspension.

Any licensee desiring to keep premises open for the sale of food or merchandise during the period of suspension shall display the Board’s order of suspension in a conspicuous place on the premises so that all persons visiting the premises may readily see the same.
