Work on the survey for The
|Oklahoma-Kansas Railway COM
menced this week, and it will
take perhaps a couple of weeks
to complete the work. After the
survey is completed the engineers
take the field notes to their offices
in Kansas City, and from the
field notes make up the maps,
profiles, estimates, etc. After
all this is done, then comes the
making up of the report.
When the reports are all made
up, then an effort will be made
to get the money to build and
equip the report, and it is not
thought much trouble will be en-
countered in securing all the IL
nancial help necessary.
The survey is being made by
the w. K. Palmer Engineering
Company of Kansas City. M. A.
Stainer has charge of the field
corps, consisting of eight men.
The work began one block west
of the county high school build
ing.
Members of the company are
out on the line with Mr.. Stainer
this week, and every effort will
be made to get the work done as
quickly as possible, consistent
with a first class job.

Do You Want a
Handsome Plano!

Young ladies, have you room
in your home for an instrument?
Do you want a handsome piano?
You can get one very easily in
this Contest. There are many
homes in this Country where
young ladies long for pianos,
yes ask and some even beg their
parents, year after year, for an
instrument. Now that there is
an opportunity to win one for a
little work, will you sit still and
make no move to get it? This
question you alone can answer.
Not by mere words, but by ac-
tions. Parents who have been
asked for an instrument will now
see whether their daughters are
really in earnest or not.
People are always ready to
help those who try to help them
selves. Get out among your
neighbors and. show them that
you are worthy of such a prize
and have enough energy and de-
termination to win it and they
will help you. They will work
for you, talk for you and secure
votes for you. But you must
start the work yourself and keep
at it until the goal is reached
and the prize is won. If you
wait for your friends to start the
work for you, they will wait for
you to start the work for your
self, and it will be waiting" all
around, nothing else.
Remember too, that the girl
who gets out and hustles for a
piano, though she fails to win it,
is better known, has more friends,
and is regarded by all possess
ing more worth than the girl
who is afraid to put forth an eff
fort Nor what she wants even
though her father is able to buy
several pianos for her.

DOwfy Making Good.

Homer Dowty, who is doing
the slab work for the Baxter
ball team, is surely making good.
In a game at Miami a short time
ago he outpitched Durbin, the
celebrated southpaw, who pitched
for the Chicago Cubs last year.
In a game here two weeks ago
last Sunday he outclassed the
famous pitcher of the Joplin
team, and not a hit was made off
him. At Columbus last Sunday
the county seat team only got
one hit from his delivery. He is
working hard right along, but
finds time to do a little practice
work. 1t looks as if Baxter is
going to have a star pitcher be-
fore the season is over.

Three Special Prizes.

Girls look here. We want to
see how much you can increase
your votes in the next four weeks.
We will give to the young lady
who has not previously won a
special prize and who turns in
the largest number of votes from
May % until 4 o'clock p. m. July
? $40 in gold; we will give to
the young lady receiving the
second largest number of votes
during that time a coupon OF
5000 votes; we will give to the
young lady receiving the third
largest number of votes during
that time a coupon of 1000 votes.
Now all girls will have an
equal chance at these special
prizes for they will be given, not
to the one whose vote is the
largest, but to the one whose
vote increases from now until
July 2, 50 that the candidate who
has no votes to speak of to her
credit at this time stands an
equal chance with the leaders.
This week there is renewed
force in our motto. Get busy.
Keep busy.
