MeIrOSe-KeeIVilIe
Road Club.

The little spark of energy that
lighted the way to the first meet
ing of the Keelvile-M elrose Good
Roads Club at the school house
in Melrose on the night of March
22ud has been kindled into a
fame of enthusiasm that is
sweeping across the entire south
ern end of Cherokee county on
both sides of the Baxter Springs
Keelville-Melrose and Chetopa
road. The battle for supremacy
between this road and the one
coming out of Baxter Springs a
little farther south is being
fought out before Mr.. John
Malaug, representing the COM
mercial club of Joplin, Mo-, the
gentleman empowered to select
the route for a gravel road out
of Baxter Springs to the west as
far as he cared to 60 with the
project under way. AS a grand
climax of one of the most ener-
getic and successful campaigns
of road boosting ever pulled off
in Cherokee county in the same
length of time, the president of
the Melrose-Keelville Club, W.
F. Pennock, and his corps of
assistants went to Baxter Springs
Thursday afternoon in five auto
mobiles and by appointment met
and held a conference with Mr..
Malang and the president of the
Joplin Commercial Club, Howard
Murphy, and took them out over
both roads on a tour of iuspec-
tion. Returning to Baxter, Mr..
Pennock took the Joplin repre-
sentatives to the hotel for supper
and at night to a meeting of the
farmers west of Baxter. At this
meeting Mr.. Malang stated
frankly that all things being
equal he rather favored the lower
and shorter route out of Baxter,
but with equal candor declared
the north road in far better con-
dition to build over. Being a
designated county road with an
upkeep fund and the
promise from the commissioners
to put the road in shape for the
gravel, taking care of all defec-
tive bridges and culverts, also
had its weight with Mr.. Malang. !

thirty new members to the church.
