COMMENCEMENT.
Class of Seven Graduates on Friday
Night of Last Week.

The Baxter Springs public
schools closed last Friday evening
and that night the graduating class
of the high school held their exer'
cises in the NJ. +. church, which
was packed to the doors. The class
seven in number, was composed OF
Fannie Stallsmith, Rose Nicholas,
Clara Kelsey, Mettie Malry, Daisy
Cole, Will Glasener and Amos JUS
tice. The program as published in
the NEWS last week was carried out
to the letter, and every number and
Grafton was simply fine. The music
was grand, the decorations were
tasty, in fact every detail was all
that could be desired.
The members of the graduating
class from salutatorian to valedic'
torian. did well with their orations,
showing the careful and painstak'
ing efforts of Prof. Mosher and the
principal, Miss Catlett.
We do not see any necessity in
mentioning each Grafton separate.
". for the reason that there would
be TOO much of sameness. All did
well, exceptionally so. Let it go at
that.
The term of school just closed
has been oneof the most successful
in the history of our schools. Prot.
Mosher is fine instructor and dis
ciplinarian, and he has had fine
corps of first class teachers to help
and aid him.
While there are always causes for
friction in school work, yet we feel
safe in saying that the percentage
of friction in the Baxter schools has
been as low a. can be found any.
where. The school board has work
ed in harmony with the faculty.
This is as il should be.
We hope as good work will be
done next term as in the term Just
closed.

If you are looking for opportun'
ity or investment try the Southwest
All over the Southwest, cities and
towns are growing up, expanding
requiring p;ors, demanding more,
peopled by eager, pushing, wide
awake citizens, who see the virtue
of encouraging enterprises of every
kind, the needfulness of getting
more and better facilities, and more
hands to develop the country.
Briefly, the condition is this: The
Southwest is really in need OF moth
ing save people. More men are
wanted. In the Southwest are vast
areas of unimproved land-land not
yielding the crops of which il is ca
pable. The same thing, in differ
ent way, ia true of the towns. Few
lines of business are adequately
represented. There are openings OF
all sorts-for mills and manufac-
turing plants, for small stores of all
kinds, for banks, newspapers and
lumber yards. Mechanics and pro.
feshional men, both are in demand.
Tell US what you want, how much
you have to invest, and we'll help
