BLAkEIY'S THE GOAT

Just at the very busiest hour of his days work yesterday morning James A. Blakley was disturbed by the buzz of the telephone. A voice at the other end of the line convey ed the exciting and somewhat alarm ing news to him that a miscreant was breaking into his home. That was all the notice he waited for. The Fike service car was chartered, the marshal was pressed into service and the party hastened to Blakley's home on West Second street to find the telephone lineman busy doing some repair work on the phone. Blakley treated the rounds yesterday and he is still treating to those who urge a remembrance of the deal upon him.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-Stocks pur- sued their familiar course, so-called war specialties and affiliated issues absorbing the bulk of speculative at tention to the exclusion of investment shares, which were either reactionary or irregular. Fully 60 per cent. of the total overturn of 99S,000 shares con sisted of United States Steel at the new high figure of 77B for the present movement, together with Westinghouse and American Can, Crucible Steel New York Air brake and AlliS- Chalmers is sues. There were highly cratic move ments in others of this group, Bethle- hem Steel recording an early decline of II F, from which it rose later to almost 20. Present indications are that every steel mill has sufficient orders on hand to carry it to the middle of next year. Rates of exchange on the principal cen ters of Europe were strengthened very decidedly, but failed to retain all their advantage. While definite details were lacking, it may be taken for granted that arrangements are in pro- gress for the completion and establish ment of British and French credits here. It was also evident that this country's supply of gold will be fur ther increased by shipments from various foreign countries. The par value of sales aggregated S3,175,000

MoLLIE'S MISTAKE

BY George Munson
Copyright, 1915, by w. G. Chapman)
The dashing Miss Wheeler, private
secretary to President Brown, of the
Lighting Corporation, had left to
marry millionaire. And little MoIlie
Raymond had been selected, out of
a hundred and nine stenOgraphers, to
fill her place!
The dashing Miss Wheeler, with
her fine airs and Paris gowns, had
long been the envy of the stenOg-
raphers' department. Five years be-
fore she had been just one of the
girls. The president had been at
tracted by her dress and personality.
He had made her his secretary and
introduced her to his wife. She was
a weekend visitor at Cowleigh, the
presidents home. She rode in his
automobile, met the elite of the town;
she ended as wife of old HOdgkins,
with an assured fortune, four autos,
a couple of country seats, and an in
come which made her acquaintance
those whom she had discarded
look up and gasp.
However, Miss Wheeler must fade
into Obscurity, for this concerns lit
tie Mollie RaymOn, of HopevilIe, and
her fiance, George.
George was one of those men who
are known solely by their Christian
names. That is sufficient characteri-
cation Of George. He was insignifi-
cant, yellow-haired, and loved MoIlie
devotedly. He was earning twenty
five dollars a week and was waiting
to be raised to thirty before claiming
the fulfillment of MoIlie's promise.
It was the dashing Miss Wheeler
who had first raised doubts in MOIlie's

taken, says Professor Dean, to
prevent their migrating into corn
and alfalfa fields. A few fields
in localities where the worms are
numerous have already been at
tackled. Where the worms are
in a field of corn the bait should
be sown, if the corn is small,
broadcast over the field. If the
corn is Of some size the mash is

County Valuation.

The value of taxable property
of Cherokee county is placed Al
S27, ,776, ,S99. AS the property
was listed on March 1st before
the mineral boom struck thil
section, the valuation now il
much higher. Baxter is listed
at 1881, 100, Spring Valley town

720, Garden, $1,S77,273. The
Modern Light says:
Land, per acre, is listed high.

other in the county, at $3.50
per acre. The following gives
one an idea of the comparative
valuations: Cherokee, $28.83;

Lowell, S31."5; Lola, $23.91;

Spring Valley, S27.52. AS will
be seen by the above, Neosho is
assessed lower than any other
township.
The county average assess
nent of land per acre is SGT. SO,
which we are told is lower than
either of the Kansas counties
bordering us. There is 217,795I
acres in the county under culti-I
vation this year. There is IA.
079 not under cultivation, show
ing the preponderance of agri-
cultural pursuits.
Almost two-thirds of the land
in the county is either in corn or
wheat, with the greater amount
in the latter. There is Sol, 784
acres of taxable land in the coun.
ty. The value of the land in the
without improvement is
a,912.26. The value of the i'm

Editor Baxter Springs News
In last weeks News you statct
that J. Il. Morrison represented
the Farmers Mutual at a hear
ing before the Utilities Commis'
sion at Topeka. .Ifyou had been
more familiar with this trouble
between the two phone systems
you would not have made that
statement. Mr.. Morrison has
noticing to do with the farm
locals. He did try to work us
for a dollar apiece to finance his
scheme but we did not give up
any money. Mr.. Morrison kept
hammeripg away however until
he succeeded in organizing the
Baxter Springs local, and getting
a new switch board in when our
connections with the city phone
system were cut. Now it is to
the interest Of the business men
of Baxter for the farmer to have
direct phone connection with
as many of them as possible, and
with other citizens too. There
are numbers of laboring people
in Baxter who want work, and if
could get work they would have
money to pay their bills. The
farmers have been greatly ham
dicapped since the connection
with the connection with the
Baxter Telephone Co. has been
cut, in getting connection with
these people they needed so much
to help in saving the present
wheat crop.
On the other hand we realize
that if there is Mutual system
established in the city we the
consumers have got to pay for it,
in the increased price of goods.
You Mr.. Editor can not raise the
price of the News but you can
charge the merchant more for
advertising space, this would add
to his expenses, he would add
this to the price of his goods,
and just so with all branches of
business, the consumer has got
to pay the bill. T. J. EMBRY.
