right, but more room is sadly

We trust the next assessor will
have the nerve to assess vacant
property clear up to the limit.
Too much property is held for
speculative purposes in this city.
When a man gets TO be such a
hog that he will not sell any of
his vacant property, nor improve
it, he should be made to pay for
his greediness. This thing of
assessing vacant lots at from two
to four dollars, when the owner
will not take from fifty to seven
ty-fve dollars each for them,
should be stopped.

The best towns are composed
of people who own their own
homes. Home owners take a very
lively interest in whatever comes
up intended to benefit the town.
This is not true with renters.
What we are trying to get at is
this: To much property in Bax-
ter Springs is owned by two or
three men who will not sell any
of it. They get hold of it, and
keep it. Such procedure is of no
benefit to the town. Better have
a hundred home owners than
have hundred homes owned by
two or three men. When public
matters come up to be settled it
is better to have a hundred men
interested than two or three.
When money must be raised by
subscription for something or
other it is easier to get it from
one hundred home owners than it
is from two or three landlords.
Too much of the most desirable
property in Baxter Springs is
owned by a few men who will
not part with it. We consider it
\ public calamity for a lot of
property to get into the hands of
i few men in any community.
True, they may improve it, but
have their tenants the same in
terest in the welfare of the town
that they would have if they
owned their homes? Certainly
not

When he failed to see hundreds OF

came evident that he is blind only
for the sake of Office, and when
he and his attorney general an
nounced that the people of Chero-
kee county must 60 dry or ship

he lost a lot of votes in this

ing to cost him hundreds of votes.

lows himself to be dictated to by
a lot of he women, as Governor
Hoch is doing in this city. All

Two months ago Kansas week
ly papers contained warnings
from postmasters, by direction OF
the department at Washington,
notifying patrons of rural mail
routes that failure to keep roads
in good repair would be followed
by the adjustment of routes.
That the warning was not bluff
is now evident from announce
ments in several papers of the
abandonment of routes in various
parts of the country. The de-
partment will keep up all free
rural deliveries whose residents
have sufficient interest in the SER
vice to maintain good roads. 1t
will not keep up any route where
the roads are allowed to 60 bad.
Cement is coming into such
general use these days, in the
construction of almost every
thing, that the cement factories
are all getting behind with their
orders. Within the next two or
three years cement will take the
place of other building materi-
ais in very large degree. The
lumber dealers are selling lum-
Der as close as they can, but the
price is steadily advancing. and
the building public is looking to-
ward cement as the material to
take the place of lumber and
brick when the prices on those
two articles become prohibitive.

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Old Fashioned Method Of Keeping
Moths Out Of Carpets.

"sNNS W. " SNA P1@9a
If you see signs of moths in a car
pet that you do not wish to take up
try this good, old Pennsylvania pl.-1
of dispossessing them: Put two
tablespoonfuls of turpentine in q
half pail Of hot water, dip a clean
broom in it, shake off superhuous
moisture on a cloth, then sweep
carefully both ways of the grain Of
the carpet; first one way, then the
other.
This application is also of value
when domestic animals have intro
duced feas into the house. All the
dust and sweepings from the carpet
should be burned at once, as feas
are hatched and live for the first
twenty-four hours of their existence
in the dust of the floor. If it Is
necessary to take the carpets up,
beat thoroughly, wipe off with naph-
tha and hang where the sun and air
can reach every portion Of them
The floor meantime should be disin-
fected by first cleaning out all the
cracks with q brush, then soap and
water, and lastly by washing with a
preparation of diluted carbohc acid,
