And it Is true, he made a try,
And swung out awful hard.
But Kelly sent an out-shoot that
Caught Kenny of his guard.
But on 1t he did fall.
He ran. but Charlie called him out
Hit by a batted ball.
Red Kelly drew a pass to first,
And was quite satisfied,
When he recalled Pete Kenny's fate,

But Mr.. Charlie Dink was firm,
He didn't lose his nerve.
And from his first decision,
Refused point-blank to swerve.
So Kenny once more took his bat.
And grumbling at his fate.
Declared that he would hit the very
First ball Ger the plate.

Needed Change.

The ward lines of Baxter need
changing. AS they are now,
the Second ward has as big q
vote as the First and Third COM
biued.
We trust the council can see
the need of a change 10 the ward
lines. A part of the second ward
could be put into the Third, and
in this way the vote of the diff
ferent wards could be equalized.
And, too, it would simplify mat
ters when election day rolls
around. As it is now, the work
of counting the vote in the Sec
ond ward is entirely too heavy.

The newspapers Of this country recently contained
statement that certain bank in Pennsylvania which had
long posed as a roll of honor bank, meaning that it was
bank which had surplus account equal to its capital
STOCK had failed with almost total loss to its deposit
orS. This only goes to show what an admirable advan
age the State Banks of Kansas offer depoSiors In the
case Of the Pennsylvania bank the statement showed re-
akable strength, but except those on the inside
were able to tell in what form of paper, or security this
great surplus was invested hence could not tell the rotten
condition of that bank In Kansas the State Banking Law
has provided an absolute protection to the deposor,
that he does not have to worry about what the statement
says for he knows that his funds cannot be lost through
the miSmanagenent of lot of fellows, who instead of
running bank, ought to be ofbearing in brick yard
OURS IS THE ONLY BANK IN BAXTER

GUARANTEED.

There has been considerable
Wild talk about the expense OF
the Domestic Science course BY
people who did not take the trou-
bic to get the necessary informa-
ton so they could talk intelli-
gently. The Domestic Science
course costs about five dollars per
month extra. The high school
teacher who teaches the Domes.
tic Science would be employed at
the same salary if we did not
,hdSe that course. So the only
extra cost is about five dollars
per month for supplies. Do not
forget we pay about $S00.00 every
year to the County High School
and if we did not have to pay
that we could add another year
to our school, and have a com.
plete high school course. This
present Board has been comply
ing with the law, which boards
for several years previous did
not do; had they done so the tax
alton would not be so high now.
