capable of feeding from FIVE TO seven
persons. were distributed. AS the re-
suit of the rivalry between the two
armies probably 1000 more poor per-

A BIC THING FOR
BAXTER SPRINGS.
Cheap Lumber and Ma
fsriaI viii Give Us a
BUILDING Boom.

We are now almost assured oi
a big cooperative lumber yard
for Baxter Springs. We have a
proposition from first class, ex'
perienced parties to put in n ten
thousand dollar yard that will
be of great benefit to the whole
community. 1t will reduce the
price of building material to an
extent that all can build homes
of their own.
In order to establish this yard,
every business man, farmer, mine
operator and property owner
should take few shares of the
stock. The stockholder is enti-
tied to a big discount on his bill
of lumber, and only those who
own stock can buy at the reduced
price.
This proposition has worked
we'll wherever tried, and stock
holders not only get cheap mate
rial, but receive good interest on
their investment.
The extraordinary advance of
the past year in the price of lum-
Der has scared out many who
wished to build, and caused stag
nation in building operations all
over this country.
Baxter Springs needs hundreds
of houses, and they will be built
if we can secure this yard. Our
citizens should take all the stock
they can. No one man will be
permitted to take more than $3.50
of the stock, as it is desired to
have lots of stockholders.
Every man who owns a lot
can build a home of his own in
one of the best towns in the
state. Baxter Springs has the
brightest future of any town in
the west, and with a good build
ing boom this year we will sur
pass them all.
The shares will be SIS each
and they are safe. If we are to
get this yard we must all go to
work at once and push it along.
Do II now.
