Money for Road Work.

The Baxter Springs Commer-
cial club recently organized is on
the job all the time, and getting
results.
Recently the matter of improv-
ing the road from the bridge to
Lowell was taken up and a COM
mittee appointed to secure finds
for regarding and surfaciug the
stretch with river gravel. Three
hundred dollars was the amount
of the estimate for the job. A
conference with a Joplin CONNER
cial club resulted in a promise
from them to contribute 5000. 90
if Baxter Springs would raise
$4,000 of the amount. The
Baxter Springs committee raised
its share of the amount In one
day from the business men and
as soon as Joplin comes
across the work will be started.
When completed there will be
a good graveled road all the way
to Joplin, with the exception of a
few bad places between Lowell
and Galena.

Saw Something New.

Mr.. and Mrs. D. C. Satterlee
and SON Neal, returned home
recently from Iowa where
they went by automobile.
They are enthusiastic in their
praise of the roads in Iowa, but
between Baxter and Kansas City
the roads are in a deplorable
condition. Many Iowa cities and
towns have a new way to park
cars on the business street.
Instead of turning into the curb
on either side the cars are lined
up in the center of the street.
This affords access to the curbs
for the discharge of passengers
and freight and all cars are ham
died without difficulty. This
plan surely seems very practical.
