DaY Of the Spreader

This is the age of improve
ment and progress. 1t is also
the day of the manure spreader.
The successful farmer of today
does not allow the manure to go
to waste on his farm, as he used
to. but on the other hand he gets
il out on the land where it ought
to be, and he gets it out there
while it is fresh. He has learned
that to let it lie scattered around
the barn, or even piled up, is a
distinct loss, so he gets a spread
er and piles the manure into it
and as soon as lie gets even part
of a load he puts it out on the
Many of the farmers in this sec
tion are getting spreaders, among
them being Abe Swalley, Chas.
Paxson, Charlie Taylor, R. o.
Thomas, Geo. Schmidt, Willard
Bros, J. M. Cooper, S. B. Apple,
Noah Harvey, Ed. Sharp. We
want to say to the balance of our
farmer friends that if they have
any doubts as to the good re-
suits following the use of a
spreader that we wish they would
60 and see the gentlemen men,
toned, and view the results.
Talk with those who are using
them, watch the effect the spread
ers have on the land, and then go
and do likewise.
The farmer who gives his
wheat a dressing with a few
spreader loads of manure gets
enough extra wheat to pay for
the machine. And the man who
puts a manure dressing on his
corn ground will have largely
increased yield besides building
up his land.
Of course manure can be put
on in the old fashioned way, but
it can not be spread evenly, and
that is what is desired.
Some thing for nothing is
against the law of man-why
should it not be against the law
of nature? You can not expect
to take from the land all the
time and continue to win, unless
you put something back on the
land.
The Hood Implement Company
sells manure spreaders. Call on
them and talk the matter over.
This is not a paid advertisement,
from Hood or anybody else, but
it is an honest opinion, expressed
in the hope that it will do some
good.

A SIS Cow.

Will Norman of this city sold
his fine Jersey COW last week to
a man in Miami for SIS. The
COW was one of the best in the
country, and now Norman is sick
over the deal. He had no idea
the fellow would pay the price
when he named SIS, but to his
surprise the man gave a check at
once. The COW has record OF
two pounds of butter a day, and
she would do this stunt regular
ly. Figured out on a basis OF
25c a pound for butter, the COW
Is worth $500. At least The
butter output would pay ten per
cent on that amount. I

Extremely Unfair.

The merchant pays a tax on
his stock of good in the regular
way, same as other people do
who have taxes to pay. And as
a matter of right and justice,
! that is all the tax he should be
compelled to pay. If he is COM
PEELED to pay other taxes he
should have something for what
he pays.
What we are driving ats this:
The merchants of Baxter Springs
pay taxes, same as anybody else
who has personal property. On
top of that they are compelled to
pay an occupation. tax for the
privilege of having something
to pay personal taxes on. The
theory of an occupation tax is
all wrong, in the first place, for
it makes a double tax. But If 1t
is necessary to pay an occupation
tax, then the fellows who pay it
should have protection in their
business and upon their property
In other words, they should
have protection from fire. Last
Wednesdays fire was an object
lesson, and it was not the fault
of the fire that property enough
was not burned to pay for sew
eral fire hydrants for several
years. We claim the people who
pay a double tax should have
protection from fire. There
should be fire hydrants all over
the business section, and if the
city authorities fail to provide
them they are guilty of criminal
negligence. A goodly portion of
the money received from occupa-
tion tax should be used to pay
for fire protection to the property
which pays that tax. And there
can be no successful argument
against this proposition.

1t Grows Hair.
Here Are Facts We Want You
to Prove at Our Risk.

Marvellous as it may seem,
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic has
grown hair on heads that were
once bald. Of course, in none
of these cases were the hair roots
dead, nor had the scalp taken on
a glazed, shiny appearance.
Rexall ''93" Hair Tonic acts
scientifically, destroying the
germs which are usually respon.
sible for badness. It penetrates
to the roots of the hair, stimulat.
J ing and nourishing them. 1t is
most pleasant toilet necessity,
is delightfully."- perfumed, and
will not gum or permanently
stain the hair.
We want you to get a bottle
of Rexall ''93" Hair Tonic and
use it as directed. If it does not
relieve scalp irritation, remove
.dandruff, prevent the hair from
falling out and promote an in
creased growth of hair, and in
every way give entire satisfac-
tion, simply come back and tell
Us, and without question or for
mality we will hand back to you
every penny you paid us for it.

A Bad Fire.

A fire started in the Daniels
block last Wednesday afternoon,
which for a short time threatened
every building between Neosho
and South streets on the east side
of Military. The room used by
Bert Valandingham for a clean
ing and pressing parlor caught
fire from a piece of match fly.
Ing into an open pan of gasoline,
and for a few moments the entire
block was in danger. The depart.
ment responded very promptly,
however, and the little chemical
engine put out the fire. The par
tition between Bert's room and
DR.. Thompson's dental parlor
was badly burned, as was also
the west side of John Johns
court room.
If the fire had not been squel.
ched in its incipiency, Dents
cash grocery, the White Rock
restaurant, Reddy's drug store,
the News, Brown the plumber,
Frazee, the groceryman, Jones
insurance Office, Hoods, Aliens
restaurant and Justices would
have been wiped out of business,
for there was quite a stiff wind
from the north at the time and
aside from 'the little chemical
engine there was nothing with
which to fight the fire.
