STILL WANTS
TO SELL.
But at Auction Sale
to the Highest
Bidder.

Editor Chieftain
Two statements in yester.
+ days Chieftain are not support
sd by the argument following
hem
First. In the headlin e OF my
y article you say that favor a
Gale Of our surplus lands sat
appraisement. There is no
bling in the article that indi-
Gates this. / flavor the sale Of
8urplus lands to be made in
Zach separate township; each
separate tracts of forty acres or
4 fractional part thereof to be
solo in the township at some
5definite point to the highest
bidder regardless Of present APP
pfaisement. This will enable
citizens who have small. tracts
Adioining their allotments to
them if they are worth
.more to them than any one else.
\ Second. | am not laboring
under the apparent delusion
THAT s2.72 represents the real
value Of the land. The s2.72|
hess all the reservation that
Rome ont Of ff represents the
N capita share Of each citizen
Saa the surplus lands at the price
noY put on it and it represents
the amount each citizen would
get under the present appraise-
ment and grade OF the land
Each citizen would necessarily
have TO 60 to the flint hills to
hunt out less than $2.72 worth |
~ land that is necessarily poor

Sntitled to make selections. If
Ia takes so cent land he would
at FIVE acres or less counting
but the value Of the land reserv-
ed from allotment, it is bound
b be less than 1912 per capita,
hence less than FIVE acres Of fif-
Y cent land. This land is bound
10, be poor land because forty
thousand people have had first
ehoice before this selection can
be made. For example, suppose
D. NJ. Marrs has selected his
allotment near Vinita, after the
ltv thousand allotments have
been made, then suppose Mr..
Marrs finds that his share Of
.he surplus land is $l.50 and
he is told to 90 TO the top Of
,6me lonely mountain in the
Spavinaw hills and get three
lcres OF fifty cent land or one
,cre Of $f.50 land. After he :
gets this land some fifty miles ]
rom his home what is it worth i
o him2 Is it worth the ex-
,ense of locating it, and going t
o the land Office to file on it2 b
)f course If Mr.. Mars should ,
nd a gold mine or rich mineral
and he would be all right, but :
orty thousand gold mines or q
il wells are not expected to be a

WATCH FOR THE sWINDLER

WATCH FOR THE SWINDLER.
1t is reported that a man who
claims to be ]. A. Vallejo is travel
ing through Kansas passing forged
drafts on the supreme treasury of
the A. o. U. w. lodge.
The man claims to be an A. o. U.
W. worker and has in his posses.
sion some handsomely printed
drafts that are printed on fine paper
with the name "Meadeville Nation
al Bank" in different colored ink;
indicating that the man was pre-
pared to work his scheme on an ex.
tensive scale.
Several drafts issued by him have
been returned and Webb McNall,
master workmen of the supreme
lodge of A. o. U. W. of Kansas. has
offered a reward for the arrest and
conviction of this man. As the
swindler makes an effort to work
the scheme on the members of the
A. o. U. w. lodge in the places he
visits, it would be we'll for the A. o.
U. w. men in Baxter Springs to be
on the lookout for him.

Advertising is as necessary to
the business, prosperity and growth
of a town as is sunshine to the
growth of crops. Order houses sell
the same class of goods at higher
prices often than the home mer-
chants ask, and the buyer pays ex-
press charges besides. Why is this?
It is because the order house i'm
presses the purchaser with his lib
eral display of advertising matter,
while the home dealer often waits
for the purchaser he has lost to
come in and be told about II. In
this day of live newspapers and
quick mail service the purchasing
public should be kept constantly
posted as to stocks of goods at his
nearby town.

Read W herever the
English Language
is Spoken.

The Thrce-a- Week World long ago es.
tablished itself in public favor, and it is
now recognized as the strongest pubica.
ton OF its kind IN the United States.
Advertisers and publishers seeking club.
bling combinations-and they know best
universally testify to this. 1t is widely
circulate in every state and territory OF
the Union, and even in remote South
Africa and on the gold fields in the
deserts OF Australia. These are the
things that tell.
Next year we have the presidential
campaign, in which all Americans are
dee ply interested. Already the issues
are being discussed and the two great par
ties are preparing for the first moves.
You will not want to miss any details,
and if you subscribe now your years
subscription will cover the campaign
from beginning to end.
The Thrice-a- Week World is absolutely
fair in its political news. Partisan bias is
never allowed to affect its news columns,
and democrat and republican alike can
obtain in its pages truthful accounts of
all the great political contests.
In addition 20 all the news, the Thrice
a-Week World furnishes the best serial
fiction, elaborate market reports and
other features of interest.
The Thrice.a- Week Worlds regular
subscr' ption price is only 81 90 per year,
and this pays for 1856 papers. We offer
this unequalled newspaper and the Semi.

Two weeks ago the town council APP
pointed a committee to inquire into what
could be done toward lighting the town
with electricity. At a meeting last
week they reported proposition from
the White Star Mill Co. that will make
it possible for the town to light the
streets and sell the lights to the people
at the same rates as that charged in
most other towns, the cost being the
wiring of the town and the putting in OF
the street lights. The White Star mill
will have to put in plant, and proposes
to make it large enough to furnish 1000
lights OF 16 candle power, and run the
wires to the edge of town. 1t asks the
town for guarantee that there shall not
be less than 800 lights used at any one
time, and committee was appointed to
canvass the town to definitely settle this
matter.
