Booster Day.
Last Saturday Saw a Big Crowd
in Baxter Springs.

Saturday, October /, was Boost.
er and Sales Day in Baxter
Springs. Something more than
1850 people living outside of Bax-
ter Springs registered for the
free drawing, but a great many
more people than that were in
from the country.
Owing to the heat and dust the
crowd did not get very big until
about noon, and from that time
on until about 4 o'clock there was
a big crowd.
Every merchant in Baxter did
a big business, and it was almost
impossible to get into the leading
stores during the entire after
noon. Extra salespeople were
employed to wait on the buyers,
but even then it was a big job.
If there is anybody who has
doubted that these Booster and
Sales Days are good things, sure
ly that doubt ought to be dis
PEELED by now.
And there will be other Booster
and Sales Days.

REPUBLICAN INBECIL|TY

Dr.. Forbes Winslow, the great
lunacy expert declares: "An in
sane world is looked forward to
by me with certainty in the not
far distant future. The human
race is degenerating" No doubt
the high protective tariff, with it's
accompanying high prices and the
resulting misery of the poor, is
having such a depressing effect
upon many that some weak in
tellects cannot bear the strain.
For some years there have been
indisputable signs that many re-
publican politicians have been
crazy. The result in Maine. has
so affected others that their minds
are partially unbalanced. Since
Colonel Roosevelt's return from
Africa, his friends have sadly
noticed that he is apparently
Iocoed-as they call it on the
plains--and has become more than
ever an egotist, which the alienists
say is a sure sign of crazines..
The hallucination of the Colonel
as to the decisions of the supreme
court is perhaps another form of
the same frenzy.
There is hardly republican
politician, whether hardshell or
insurgent, since" my policies" have
become bone of contention who
has rot exhibited imbecility.

GOLDEN MUST STAND TRIAL

Judge Averill last Thursday
morning handed down ruling on
the motion to dismiss the charges
of cmbezzlement against Frank
Golden and dis charge the defendant
from custody, denying the request.
Golden, the president of the Nye
and Ormsby County bank, was
indicted bv the present grand
jury and charged with embe zzling
the funds of the hank The grounds
for the motion were that the acts
of 1909 were in conflict and the
defense claimed that the former
act was repealed when the latter
went into effect. In the ruling
Judge Averill found that the act
was formulated with the intent of
affording protection to the people
against INSCRIPTIONS bankers.
The court further held that the
legislature of 1909 did not intend
to repeal the act of 1907 but
purposely left it to accomplish
what good it could as violations of
it might be brought to light.
Unless prohibited by the supreme
court the trial will probably he

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that Is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of
the mucous lining Of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or inn
perfect hearing. and when it is
entirly closed. Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflar~mation
can be taken out and this tube re
stored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inf1amed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred
Dollars for any case of Deafness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot be
cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

NOTES FROM THE
LABOR. WORLD

Many of the building trade
unions of Chicago maintain auto
mobiles for the use of their bust
ness agents.
Fifty-five cents a day is the
average wage paid in American
factories to girls under sixteen
years of age.
At the Bunbury labor congress
in western Australia it was decided
by an overwhelming vote to
establish an annual labor day.
From 1870 to the pre-. ent time,
a period of forty years, the state
of New York has placed PIP labor
laws on its statute books. The
greater part of these laws were
enacted since 1894.
According to the latest available
statistics the number of trades
represented by labor unions in
Greater New York now exceeds
1900. Among the new unions
formed during the past few
months are those of the forceps
finishers, umbrella makers,
women's combmakers, boys waist
makers and Jewish bookbinders.

The HEN AND THE STATE

1t has been pointed out by
members of the American Poultry
Association, in behalf of the
Missouri hen, that she has not been
properly treated by the state
government.
1T is contended that an industry
yielding $45. 100000 annually is
entitled to more consideration in
the matter of laws and appropriations
than the paltry $4,000 provided
by the last legislature.
Comparison is made with the
state of New York where the
revenue from the poultry industry
amounts to less than SIS, 900, 900
yearly, although the state spends
$50, 900 during the same period in
support of its poultry department.
Statistics are also supplied to show
that in twenty-eight other states
where the poultry business is of
much less Importance than in
Missouri, large sums are spent by
authority of the various legislatures
in the development of the industry.
There is, of course, some logic
in the argument. Still it is not
apparent that the poultry business
has been seriously neglected in
Missouri. 1t must be admitted that
an industry that has arrived at the
$45, 900, 600 mark has passed the
experimental stage. 1t is doubtful,
therefore, if the expenditure of
public money for the purposes
proposed would prove of great
benefit.
The way to raise hens is to raise
them. At least that method ap-
pears to have succeeded in Missouri,
regardless of theories advanced by
experimental stations in some other
states where hens are almost as
scarce as their teeth.
There is no one in Missouri
who is not friend of the Missouri
hen but until she registers a
scratch there can be no greater
mistake in conducting the business
along the practical lines that have
already resulted in such phenomenal
success.
The Missouri hen is modest.
She is not given TO growing, but
she is doing her full duty as
becomes good lay citizen. 1t is
not therefore, certain that public
money spent in salaries at ex-
perimental stations would add a
single egg to the Missouri hen s
nest.-St. Louis Star.
