That Texas Display.

S. W. Coglizer was here from
Joplin last Saturday with a dis
play of Texas products. He had
corn nearly nine feet high, Gu
cumbers, radishes, blackberries,
Strawberries, carrots, new pota-
toes, cauliflower, beets, string
beans, peas, sugarcane, alfalfa,
and a lot Of other products raised
down there in the winter time.
He also had cabbage heads which
would weigh from eight to ten
pounds.
It was a sight to make the
average fellow hungry.
Many a housewife who saw
the display wanted some of it for
Sunday dinner.
But the display was only typi-
cal of what the irrigated section
of Texas will produce.
1t is the "producingest country
what is"
There will be another excur-
sion to that country on the first
Tuesday in May. The special
train will come through this city
on Wednesday, May 8.

Wallie Black and Will Overton
Should be Remembered by
Carnegie.

On Monday of this week, when
Spring river was out of its banks
and flooding the lowlands, Wallie
Black, Harry Black and Bert
Douthit were out in a motor
boat. Coming down the river
they floated onto a telephone
wire which turned their boat
over, and tipped them out. Harry
shed off his coat and was swim
ming out, when he turned to
look for Wallie and Bert. He
saw Bert struggling in the water,
and Wallie doing his best to save
him. He at once went to the
rescue, and with the help of
Will Overton, who rushed in.
succeeded in getting Bert out,
but Bert was about in, and he
was brought to town, where he
was given dry clothes and stim-
ulantS.
When the boat turned over,
Bert was heavily. dressed and
could hardly help himself. Wal
lie Black went to his rescue, and
Bert almost pulled, him down.
but Wallie was cool and had
Bert take hold of his shoulders.
He then swan with Bert to- a
bush where they hung on until
Overton and Harry Black came
in and helped them out.
The water was deep and very
swift, and the boys are very
lucky to have escaped a watery
grave.
Y The rescuers are entitled to
Carnegie hero medals.

Bad Floods.

Jupiter Pluvius certainly has
it in for this part of the country,
and has certainly been doing his
best to drown us ogt. Rain has
fallen mighty regularly in this
part of the universe for a long
time, and food conditions have
been the result. Spring river
got out of its banks, being about
foot and a half higher than it
was last year. Much damage
was done to the land and roads
in this country, and of course all
the bottom farms were inundated.
Railroads were put to great in
convenience, and the Katy trains
were compelled to detour over
the Frisco tracks through this
city. All of the east and west
Frisco trains were detoured thru
Baxter Springs, as were also the
Texas trains which regularly run
south from Monett, Mo-.
The water plant of the Galena
water works was under water,
the Frisco tracks east of Galena
in Cooper hollow were washed
out. Neosho river was out of its
banks, and did lots of damage to
the bottom farmers. And the
country was wet all the way
down, thru and across. But
thank heavens, we didn't have
anyScyciones, like they did down
in Oklahoma.

we're a regular part of the fiscal activ-
titles OF the priestly establishments.
Perhaps the most interesting of all
the buried records which have come
To light are the contract tablets kept
by a firm of bankers and money-lend-
ers known as "the sons of Egibi," cs-
tablished at Babylon before the time of
Sennacherib. probably as early as 1000
n. G.. and which existed for several
centuries. These "brick books" as
they have been called, constitute the
chief source OF our knowledge of life
in ancient Babylon.
The firm of Egibi possessed onorm-
Gus wealth ana influence and have been
designated tho "Rothschilds of tire an-
cicnt world" They carried ON every
sort of financial-transaction. They
made loans to the state, as well as To
private persons. and the finances OF the
court were entrusted 10 them for sew
eral generations They collected the
land taxes. tithes and dues FOR the use
of the public roads and paid them into
the royal treasury.
They also undertook what we should
now describe as agencies" for private
individuals ANA in addition 10 their
vast money-lending transactions must
also have engaged in what we now
term bankers" business, for we know
that documents existed in those early
days corresponding TO modern checks
and bills of exchange. The various
OF the firm were noted
down on clay tablets, which were
stored in great earthenware jars for
safety, and there they remained until
they were accidentally discovered some
few years ago.
All bear the names of the contracting
parties and witnesses, and most of
hem are dated, The Egibi firm were
