Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1915-07-08

During the year ending June
80, 1915, there were in round
numbers 90, 900 automobiles and
10000 motorcycles registered in
the Kansas Secretary of State
Office; 10000 men who without
complaint deposited their fees in
the Offices of their county treas
urers. After paying all the ex-
pense of administering the law
there was left in the road funds
of the various counties the neat
little sum of $27O, 900 to be used
solely for the maintenance and
improvement of county roads.
If properly handled this money
will greatly improve the high
ways of our state. At IS cents
per mile, the maximum allowed
by law for dragging roads, this
money will pay for dragging
800, 900 miles of road once or it
will drag $4,000 miles of road
five times. l consider this a
splendid showing for the auto
mobile law, and if can have the
hearty cooperation and support
of the automobile owners of the
state this sum will be very large
ly increased during the present
year, and in a very short time
Kansas roads will compare fay
orably with dirt roads in any
state in the Union.

Keep Your
Baby Well.

This is the advice or the Chic
of the new Child Hygiene Divis
ion of the Kansas State Board o
Health.
Last year 10 Kansas, nearl.
one baby in every eight unde
the age of two years, or almos
5000 babies died. If a tornado
or food were to wipe out a city
like Wellington, Galens, Con
cordia or Junction City, the en-
tire State would be instantly
aroused. Yet, these 5000 babie:
represent a population equal tc
one of these cities.
Iu-numbers, these 5000 babies
represent the entire population,
men, women and children of one
county such as Meade or Raw
Inns, or the combined population
of Stanton, Grant, Morton, and
Stevens counties.
And the greatest tragedy OF
all is that these 5000 babies are
born only to sicken and die need
lessly. Medical science has prov
en- that the majority of these
children might be saved, had
their mothers known how to take
care of them.
The baby is a piece of delicate
mechanism who responds almost
instantly to changes in tempera-
turc. He is quickly injured by
impure food and drink and irreg-
ular care. Especially during the
coming hot weather, when so
many babies die, he must have
painstaking and intelligent at
tention.
In order to help the Mothers
Of Kansas keep their babies heal
thy this summer and to make
them grow as. they should, DR..
DeVilbiss, Chief of the Division,
is going to send out through the
each week a letter
on scientific baby culture. In
addition, if a stamp is enclosed,
the Doctor will be pleased to an.
swer letters for special informa.
tion in reference to personal prob
lens in Child Hygiene. The
Doctor cannot, of course, under
take to prescribe BIZ mail for sick
babies That is the province OF
the family physician.

To the People

concerning twine indicates tha
T the people Of Kansas desire in
formation concerning their twin
mill in the State Peniteutiary
The present mill cost about 500,
10000. We began making twin'
January 2, 1914. and it has op'
Grated continuously ever since,
The estimated annual capacity
is 5000, 900 pounds. During the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1915,
we manufactured and sold oveI
3, 900, 900 pounds of twine. We
have orders on file for 5,000,00G
pounds more than we can fill for
the present harvest. The States
consumption last year was ap-
proximately 20, 900, 900 pounds.
This will indicate how impossi-
BILE it is for us to supply the de-
mand. Our mill serves a good
purpose by keeping down the
price of twine.
The mill in the Minnesota PEN
itentiary is a good example of
what could be done under favor.
able circumstances. They have
500 spiuners while we have 12O.
They have a revolving fund Of
S2,750,000.0O, while our original
revolving fund was $50, 100000.
They buy sisal in large quanti'
ties while the price is down, and
operate their mill on three shifts,
making 100000 pounds of twine
every "a hours. Warden Reed
of that prison, told the writer
that their plant had made a net
profit of 5000, 900 90 during the
past two years, and yet their
prices were under the trust prices.
/ have persistently waged the
necessity of an adequate revolv.
ing fund. This fund with ac-
crued profits, amounted to SOL.
l34.25 on July l, 1912. The leg
islature of 1913 transferred $780,
600 from this to the general
maintenance fund. The fire loss
of April, 1918, of 1884, $40 pounds
of twine entailed a net loss of
SS6,O13.42. The sum of 500, 600
was taken from this fund to re-
build the twine mill. Allowing
deductions as stated, and adding |
profits as provided by law, we
have a revolving fund of about
$1OO, 900. That this is an insuf.
6cient working capital is appar.
ent from the fact that we require
approximately 5000, 600 pounds
of sisal per year which should be
bought on a low market. We
bought sisal last December at
$500 per hundred, but owing to
want of money only a small
quantity could be purchased. A
years supply at that price would
cost $120, ZOO. The average cost
of the sisal used during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1915, was
$500 per hundred. At this rate
a years supply cost $50, 900.
The sisal recently bought cost
Sc. 20 per hundred. At this rate
a years supply would cost $780,.
600, or $4,000 more than If
bought at $500
In addition to this loss from an
insufficient revolving fund, is the
fact that we are now paying in
terest on more than 500, 900 that
we were compelled to borrow to
buy sisal or shut the mill down.
From Feb. 1, to Nov. 1, we shall
pay in interest not less than ST..
600. In addition to sisal we re.
quire $50, 900 per year for oil and
other iucidentalS.

people of Kansas, with these fig
ures before them, will require
their representatives in the leg

Ten Thousand at Lumberton;
Dr., Poteat Makes Speech
of The Day

Lumberton, April I0.-Robeson
county commencement day was cele-
brated here yesterday, bringing to-
gether the largest crowd of people
ever assembled in the county on a
similar occasion. The crowd in at
tendance was estimated conservative
ly at ten thousand people, the school
children in parade being near twen-
ty-five hundred. The weather was
ideal, and everything passed off with
out a single unpleasant incident. The
great assemblage was composed OF
the representative people Of all sec
tions Of the county. Over half
the population of the town Of St
Pauls were here, the merchants hav-
ing closed their places of business ir
order to be present.
DR.. w. L. Poteat, Of Wake Forest

NEEDS YEARLY INVENTORY.
To Make One Would Show Farmer
What He is Accomplishing.

The young farmer who is endeav.
oring to build up a more efficient and
profitable business seldom retains
much cash, says an article In the
Weekly News Letter. published by
the u. S. Department Of Agriculture.
When money is received he buys
new implement, another animal, i'm
proves a building, or makes payments
on bills for things bought on credit.
During the course of the year he may
receive and pay out large sums Of
money, leaving almost no cash at the
end of the year. The annual re-
turns may seem to have been only
fair living for himself and family,
whereas the farm business may have
turned a good profit, which was IN
vested from month to month. Hence
it is important for the farmers guild
ance and encouragement that he
make an annual inventory of his farm
investments. This inventory should
be a detailed list, with values, of ev-
erything used in the farm business,
including land. buildings, live stock.
machinery and tools. produce for
feed or sale, supplies, bills receivable,
and cash; also q list Of all accounts
and bills owing. The difference be-
| tween the total assets and debts
shows the net farm worth.
| A study of two successive lnven-
tories of a farm in New York State
| illustrates how one young farmer or
I1O acres prospered regardless of the
fact that he had almost no cash at
the end Of the year. The total assets
at the beginning of the year amount
ed to $4,000 and to $13,400 at the
| end of the same year, an increase OF
1910. The increased investment il
live stock, machinery and tolls. ant
more produce held for sale amount
ed to s1,O73, but this was PARTIAL,
offset by the cash decrease Of 1858
The farm Indebtedness was also re

The interior journal. [volume] (Stanford, Ky.) 1912-1984, 1915-04-23

We notice in some of the Central
Kentucky papers an account of the
death of our friend, "Uncle Joe"
Hopper, the famous singing evangelist,
who for nearly half a century has
been working in the service of the
Master. "Uncle Joe" did not demand
that the community ''come across be-
fore he would give his services. 1t is
altogether likely that he often found
himself in the financial condition of
whereon to lay his head" But "Uncle
Joe" went on preaching and singing
love and charity and forgiveness and
repentance and the final perseverance
of the saints. We haven't doubt on
earth that "Uncle Joe" would have
done as the Master did when the
poor little trembling maiden was
brought before him charged with
crime, for he would nave said, as did
the Master, Neither do l condemn
thee; go, and sin no more"
That was Uncle Joe's way. That
was his conception of the gospel he
felt called on to preach. He did not
use any eXtraneous methods. He new
er jumped over the pulpit rail. He
never shook his fists at the congrega-
ton. He never called them jackasses
and he never said that hell was with
in a few feet of the surface of the
earth under which he was preaching.
But a poor sin-sick sufferer could go
to Uncle Joe, and unburden his trou-
bles and know that he would have the
loving sympathy of a heart that was
full of love rather than creed.
In the fullness of time we. hope to
meet Uncle Joe in heaven, because
we know he is there-Bowling Green
