A Pretty Sight.

Last Thursday Fire Chic
Wyatt, A. II. Kane and Steve
Etter went down to the public
school building and turned il
the fire alarm all over the build
ing. In just one minute there
was not a pupil or teacher in the
building. When the gong sound
ed every pupil whirled in his
seat, then the order was given to
march out. In orderly precision
the march was made, the pupils
on the second floor going down
the iron stairs on the outside of
the building, and the pupils on
the first floor coming out the
other stairway.
1t was certainly a grand illus.
tration of the teachings of the
fire drill. There was not a SEM
blance of a prnic, no excitement,
and the teachers and children
had no warning that fire drill
was on. They all thought it
was the real thing.
1t was a pretty exhibition OF
good drilling and fine teaching.

No, Indeed.

No, little one, there will not
be any announcements of candi-
dates wanting Office at the hands
of the dear people published in
the News unless the customary
fee for such announcement is
handed in with the copy for such
announcement. And the publi-
cation of the notice of announce
ment does not mean that the
News is committed to them in
any way. The News reserves
the right to support anyone it
chooses, regardless of any pat
ronage it may receive in the way
of paid announcements.

Wanted a Guaranty.

Cashier Wyatt of the Baxter
Estate Bank received a letter a
short time ago from man out in
New Mexico who said he had
read in the Baxter Springs News
that deposits in the State Bank
we're guaranteed, and he wanted
to know if this was true. He
said if it was true, that he had
nice little account he would send
for deposit. He intimated that
what he wanted was surety, and
if deposits were secured in the
Baxter State Bank, that was the
bank for him.
Of course Mr.. Wyatt did not
lose any time in answering the
letter, and it was only a few
days until he got a nice deposit
from the man.
New Mexico is a good ways
from Baxter Springs, but the fell
low felt as if he would sleep bet
ter and digest his food better,
and probably have a better dis
position if he just knew that his
money was safe, hence his de-
posit came to Baxter Springs.
This guaranteed deposits busi-
ness is a good thing. 1t makes
your money safe, and that Isl
what you want. After you have
toiled and saved, you want to
know that your money is safe,
and that you can get it just when
you want it. You feel there is
something else a cinch besides
death and taxes.-Adv.

repeated with distinct emphasis, the
dancers turning gradually in small

Meeting Situation In Philadelphia.


Meeting Situation In Philadelphia.
Philadelphia. - The efforts of the
Armstrong association in this city to
supply the demand for colored girls in
the various lines of domestic and In
dustrial work are having good effect
upon the community. The asSociati tion
>eecently started an employment bu-
reau in order to centralize the work
and give better service to applicants
seeking employment at any time.
Some of those for whom the associa-
ton is finding positions have been CON
nected with the industrial school ar
Hampton. while Others are unframed
girls of Philadelphia. One of the mos,
interesting points about the work Ia
that a woman of our race has been ap-
pointed whose special duty it is to Tn
vestigate working conditions and op-
portunities for women of her race.
She sees the girls who apply for
work at the headquarters of the bu-
reau and talks to each one. giving her
some idea Of what good service u..ns
and some definite instruction which
will tit her to fill the place found for
her in a satisfactory way.
The association states its aims as
follows: "Our purpose is not only to
get the girls work and oblige patrons.
but to place the right class of domestic
workers with the right class OF em-
ployerS and to raise the idea of service.
We aim to encourage tolerance and 10
create personal interest among those in
charge of employees"
