The Baxter Planning Mill and
Fixture Company was incorpor-
at,d this week for SIS, 900, fully
paid up. T. ]. Morrow and u.
T. Gaba are the principal stock
holders, but others have taken
stock because they want to be
identified with the enterprise.
The stock was gobbled up in a
hurry, and perhaps ten thousand
dollars more could have been
sold in "a hours. All of the
employees of the mill are stock
holders in the enterprise.
The stockholders held a meet
ing Monday afternoon and elected
the following directors: T. J.
Morrow, U. T. Gaba, L. M.
Perkins, J. M. Cooper, E. W.
Dow, w. T. Apple. c. M. Jones,
Chas. L. Smith, F. M. Congdon.
The Baxter Planning Mill and
Fixture Company is one Of the
leading industrial institutions OF
the county, and will in a very
short time double or treble its
working capacity. 1t does not
owe a dollar, and has all the
backing it needs to carry out
any kind of a contract. AT the
present time it has lots of work
on hand, and a great deal in
sight. The mill is equipped
with all kinds of machinery for
the manufacture of anything in
the wood line, and the quality OF
work turned out can not be ex-
celled anywhere. There are
twenty-three machines of differ
ent kinds in the plant, and they
are all of the latest and best
types. The plant has its own
lumber yard, and is prepared to
fill any kind of an order for
house finish or fixtures of any
kind on very short notice.
The plant will in addition to
its regular line of work manu-
facture show cases, moth proof
clothing cabinets and wood
pulleYs.

Summer Hygiene.

Summer is the season of health
and recuperation for those who
properly regulate their mode of
living. For those who do not it
is season of discomfort.
Pure, healthful, light food that
will not stimulate heat produc-
tion while it properly nourishes
and strengthens the body and
brain is the great essential.
It is conceded that the best of
all foods for summer diet are the
quickly made fiour-foods-hot
biscuit, rolls, buildings, cakes,
mullins, etc, such as are made
with baking powder. A most
excellent household bread is also
made with baking powder, in
stead of yeast. These, properly
made, are light, sweet, fire
favored, easily digested, nutri-
tious and wholesome. Yeast
bread should be avoided wherever
possible in summer, as the yeast
germ is almost certain in hot
weather to ferment in the
stomach and cause trouble. The
Price Baking Powder foods are
uufermented, and may be eaten
in their most delicious state,
viz, fresh and hot without fear
of unpleasant results.
Alum baking powders should
be avoided at all times. They
make the food less digestible.
When the system is relaxed by
summer heat their danger is
heightened.
The flour-foods made with DR..
Prices Cream Baking Powder
are the acme of perfection FOL
summer heat. No decomposition
takes place in their dough. the
nutritive qualities of the -four
are preserved and digestion is
aided, which is not the case with
sour-yeast bread or cakes.

The game between the Miami
and Baxter teams last Sunday al
Ervin's park was quite well at
tended, and in spite of the
umpire the Baxter team won by
a score of 7 to 5.
The manager of the Baxter
team has gotten together bunch
of boys which for weight and
age can not be beaten anywhere
in the United States. Five OF
the boys are not over IS years OF
age, and some of them are very
light, but they are as active as
cats, and cover the ground like
squirrels.
The battery for Miami was
Fields and Ellsworth, and for
Baxter Moffet dished up the
slants and Earl Abrams caught
them. And right there the base
ball editor wants to remark that
Abrams is a catcher from the
town of that name. He is only
about 10 years of age, but he
held Moffet all right, and II
takes a good catcher to do that
for Moffet has considerable
smoke and speed, and is hard to
hold.
The umpire started in the game
as if he intended to give a
square deal, but after the second
inning it was apparent that he
would be afraid to return to
Miami if he should not give
that team the best of it.
However, he may have been fair
in the matter, and just been
ratified by the playing of Baxter's
children.

Breaking Hardpan.

S. J. Crawford, living just east
of this city, took up the matter
of breaking up the hardpan with
the secretary of agriculture some
time ago, and to make good his
proposition he is breaking up
the hardpan on his own river
bottom farm just east of town.
Mr.. Crawford claims that when
the hardpan is broken so that
water can 60 down into the
ground that there will be no
more danger from drouths in this
country, and that the openings
made by the breaking up of the
hardpan will hold water enough
during periods of excessive rain
fall to insure the growth Of
crops.
He has a man at work on his
place drilling or boring holes
down into the ground three to
three and a half feet. In these
holes he explodes a stick OF
powder. The holes are put
down from 20 to IS feet apart.
The explosion is breaking the
ground for distance of ten to
fifteen feet each way. Mr.. Craw'
ford's idea is that when there
again comes a period OF excessive
rainfall that the ground SC
treated will hold enough water
to supply growing plant life
with the moisture need. He tells
us he is going to treat several
acres and then plant it. to
alfalfa. If his project proves
successful, and a great many
thinking men believe it is all
right, he will have done this
section of country a wonderful
good.

was the catching by Earl Abrams
and the base stealing by Harry
Abrams.
Baxter made bunch of errors
in the ninth and let the visitors
have three scores without license.
The manager of the Baxter

team has plenty of practice so as
to be able to do good team work.
If they practice as they should
the Baxter team will be the best
in the country.

longer before an additional innovation
is attempted There has been no de-
mand for a reduction of the tax rate
as to any class of taxpayers, and it
would be bad policy to voluntarily re-
duce it under the circumstances. On
the other hand, as already remarked,
the indications are, from the silence on
the subject that there is no present
necessity for an increase of the rate as
to all or any class of taxpayers. When
either or both of these conditions shall
arise and a greater familiarity on the
part of the taXpaying public shall have
been had with the income and Inherit
ance taxes, it may be found advisable
to adopt progressive taxation as to the
/ property tax or as to the income tax
or as to the inheritance tax or as to all
of them.
TAX ON LAND OF EQUAL PRoDUC-
TIVITY.
! Another request from farmers is that
lands of equal productivity, whether
cultivated or uncultivated, be taxed
upon the same valuation the argument
advanced being that unless this course
is followed there is in reality discrim-
ination against those who have Gull
| tivated the soil and encouragement to
others to hold for less useful purposes
large tracts valuable for cultivation.
The instance is cited in support of the
argument of an owner of a large I'M
cultivated tract, used solely for the
purposes of a cattle ranch, whose land
adjoins a large cultivated pineapple
plantation, and the claim is advanced
that in this instance the first mention
ed tract is valued for purposes of tax
alton simply with reference to the
availability of the land for cattle rails
ing purposes and not with reference
to its capacity to produce pineapples
or other crops. If the fact is that in
view of the capacity of the rancher's
land to produce pineapples or other
crops that land can be sold upon the
market for cash at the same price that
the cultivated pineapple lands bring,
then under our property tax laws as
they stand upon the books today the
two tracts are taxable at the same val
uation, and any failure to so tax them
is mere error of administration
which can be corrected at any time.
II, however, the contention goes fur
Their and is to the effect that the same
valuation should be placed upon both
tracts, even where the uncultivated
one is of a full cash value less than
that of the cultivated portion, one suf-
ficient reason for not making the re-
quested amendment is that in this Ter
ritory conditions differ very greatly
as between almost every two pieces OF
land that could be pointed ut,-condi-
lions as to water for irrigation, rain
tall availability to market, etc. In
other words, but very few pieces of
land could be found situated under ex-
actly the same circumstances, and it
would be impracticable to make any
Just rule capable of general applica-
ton throughout the Territory such as
that requested. For this reason, if for
