Looks Mighty Bad.

We want to suggest to the
county commissioners that they
have the court room at Galena
fixed up a little. The dingy and
dirty walls and the plastering
falling from the ceiling are not
sights calculated to impress very
favorably people who may have
business in the court room.
Cherokee county can afford to
keep its property in good repair,
and we want to ask the commits
sioners to have that court room
cleaned up and fixed up.
And do it now.

GaIena HumbIed.

Last Sunday the Galena ball
team was humbled by the Pitts
burg team, and the chastisement
was awful. In fact the plight of
the Galena team was horrible.
The Galena fellows, because
they have had pretty good base
ball luck this season, got all
swelled up and issued a def to
any team in this part of the
country. The Pittsburg fellows
heard of the swelled up people
and decided to humble them.
There was a big crowd, and the
game was worth all it cost to
see it. The onlv inning in
which a score was made was in
the seventh, when the Pittsburg
fellows forgot TO be Klno, ana
ran in six tallies. Galena never
saw the home plate during the
game.
Here is the story BY inuinge:
Pittsburgh 0000O6O 90
Galena 100000 90
Oh, it was something awful,
and when the Galena fans left
the grounds we were reminded of
the burial of Sir John Moore,
where it reads something like
this: mot a drum was heard,
not a funeral note" and more
just like it.

To the Public.

If two letters lately coming in
to the hands of the unexpected
were published they would add
quite little to the scandal of a
few Saturday nights ago; would
also show how a man would do
right if it were not for a bad and
persistent woman. It is only a
matter of time when these let
tiers will be published in the Bax-
ter papers, showing how a good
man can be led to his ruin and a
husband and father led from his
home. Mrs. Anna Shuts.

A Square Issue.

J. B. Billiard of Topeka is q
candidate for the Democratic
nomination for governor of Kan.
sas. Mr.. Billiard, by the way, is
mayor of Topeka, having defeat
ed Tom McNeal, one of the most
popular men of the state, for the
place.
Billiard is a strong man politi-
cally, and he is making his race
on the platform of resubmissiou
of the prohibitory question to
the voters of the state.
Ordinarily, we would not pay
any attention to this question,
but the state has been lied about
so shamefully, and there seems
to be such heavy demand for a
resubmisSion of the question,
and the population of the state
has more than doubled since pro-
hibition was adopted thirty years
ago, we are perfectly willing,
and not only willing, but an
xious, for the voters to have an
other whack at the matter. For
that reason we are for Billiard.
The people of Kansas know just
where he stands. He does not
mince words, and he does not lie
about the state and its people.
He is a successful business man,
and if he should be fortunate
enough to land in the governor
ship he will make a good gov
ernor.
But if the prohibitory matter
is to be made an issue let's get
down to business and settle the
matter, once for all, or for an
other thirty years anyway. The
present law has been twisted
around until it is only a matter
of graft, legal graft, at that.

A ride over any considerable
length of railroad to the west
ward is likely to disclose to the
observing traveller that the gaso-
line engine is fast taking the
place of the windmill and es-
pecially where any form of irri-
cation is practiced. The mere
absence of a windmill does not
necessarily imply the presence
of a gasoline engine, but previ-
ous knowledge does so, and the
appearance of this little 'gasO-
line hired man" in the fields
busily pumping water confirms
Il. Next to the manure spreader
and the harrow there is no more
valuable farm tool than a gasO-
ineeneins.
Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1911-09-21

The blend market for last
week was about the same as the
week previous, with a tendency
to slightly higher prices for bet
ter grades or ore. The basis for
last week was from $42 to $4S
for 80 per cent grades, the pre-
vailing prices being S44 to S45.
Although the figures for the
week previous were about the
same, most of the ore went at
S44, while the larger part of the
high-grade ore last week went
at S45. The high price for zinc
was S4S.
The Oronogo Circle sold ten
car loads of ore at S45. The
surplus of blende in the district
is now estimated at 1000 tons,
which is said to be decidedly
small in view of the large lots
that have been on hand. This
surplus will also probably be cut
further next week if the market
stays firm.
The basis price for calamine,
40 per cent grade, was S24 and
SIS. Some of the better grades
went as high as S32, which is
decidedly the highest that Gala
mine has brought for some time.
Not much of the ore was pro-
duced last week, as the water
still covers the deposits at Auro-
"a and CRANKY. All available
calamine was cleaned up previ-
Gus to last week, so the market
was particularly strong. There
is no large surplus of this ore
and bids are strong for it at the
present time.
Lead was firm, as it has been
for some time, and the market
was but little changed, the prices
running from S5S to S62, the
larger part of it going at 500.
Spelter was firm all week, be-
ing SIS. 80 to S5.95. Erfatic con-
iitions were predicted earlier in !
the week, but competition and !
big sales at good prices gave
much strength to the market.
Not for many months has the
outlook been so bright for the
district. Good turn-ins, coupled
with good prices, are giving out
side mining men a confidence in
The district. Probably more
money is being spent now in re-
opening old mines and in devel-
,ping new properties than ever
before.

Business in Farming.

Ever think why you buy the
goods you get when you 60 to
town? When you order coffee,
clothes or carriages do you ever
stop to think just why you al
ways ask for a particular brand
or make of those articles?
You always do name the brand
you want when you order, and if
you cannot get it, you may be
persuaded to take some other,
but always under protest. And
when you find brand Of meal,
molasses or monkey wrenches
that you like you always stick to
it and continue to use it for years.
You may think you use partic-
ular brands because they repre-
sent good quality and reasonable
price, and you will be right. But
that is not what first induced you
to try these brands, because you
did not know then of either the
quality or the price.
Advertising and advertising
alone is what first made you &C
quainted with the goods. while
their quality made you stay by
them, Your experience has
taught you to have confidence in
those articles which are we'll adj
vertised. They always have a
fixed quality and a fixed price
and you know what you will get
for your money and how much
you will have to pay for it.
Well advertised articles al
ways have the same quality.
The manufacturers stake their
reputation upon this quality and
cannot afford to change it. Their
large investments are backing
up their trade marked articles
and any deviation from the stan
dard would soon put them out of
business.
Advertising is one of the great
est forces in the business world
today. Vast business interests
have been build up; immense SER
vice has been rendered to the
public and enormous economy
developed in the manufacture
and distribution of the necessi-
ties as we'll as the luxuries OF
life Though this potent force.
Advertising is simply announc-
ing your business proposition to
the public. According to the
medium selected, whether it be
poster on a telephone pole or the
ADVERTISING columns of a widely
circulated newspaper, your num-
Der of possible customers is i'm
nensely increased over what you
would have without advertising.
When a number of possible
is secured you are at 7
,nce placed in the position of
'eing able to name your own
prices on what you have to sell
ind not be at the mercy of a few
lalf interested persons who COM
'el you to take any price they -,
nay choose to give, or no sale.
The principles of business APP
'ly on the farm and nowhere
lse to a better advantage. You I
'uy advertised articles because :
hey are advertised and you know !
heir quality. Others will buy
our pure-bred live stock or
ther things that you may have
o sell if you advertise them, and
hey will buy at your own price. C

The corn crop in this section

west bloom as a rose. Mr.. Per-
kins was a forty-niner, going
from New York to San Francisco

general merchandise business in
Frisco.
Thfshay crop is a good one
this year, but fears are enter
tanned that it will not all be cut,
as it seems to be next to impoS-
sible to get men and teams
enough to put up the crop be-
fore frost. The hay season is
short this year, owing to the
drouth in the early part of the
season, but when the rains did
begin the grass began growing
very fast, and now the crop is
very heavy, and it will be too
bak, indeed, if it is not all put
up. Hay is bringing from seven
to eight dollars on board cars
here.
1t might be we'll to suggest
that the title Reverend" APP
piled to a minister is the same
sort of a title as that given to a
lawyer. Rev" and ESQ" are
honorary and not to be used in
introductions or in ordinary con-
1ersation. One should not say:
Let me introduce Esquire Ket-
;hem," who is by profession a
awyer nor ALLOW me to pre-
Ient Rev. Revivem," who hap
lens to be thought of as a
preacher. The proper form
hould be: Let me introduce :
Or. Ketchem, one of the lawyers

ne present Mr.. Revivem, the :
'astor of the Church of ALI Good s
'eople of Paradise" If Rev.
Ievivem is correct what would
