Baxter'S Future.

Never in the history Of the town
have the future prospects been so
bright as right now. We have
always been surrounded by 4 rich
agricultural district. We have an
energetic, industrious group OF
farmers, men of worth and intel
ligence, who are making good.
In addition to this the town
has within the last year become
the center of a great and rapidly
developing mining district. No
town 10 the Southwest Missouri,
Southeast Kansas and Northeast
Oklahoma mining district occu-
pies such an unique position in
'he great lead and zinc mining
region. Baxter today is tie log
ical point for a big wholesale
grocery, a big foundry and ma
chine shop and large concern
carrying supplies Of all kinds for
the mines, a distributing house
for 10 der, large quantities OF
which are used in the mines.
Baxter has the equivalent Of five
complete railroad systems, the
Frisco running in four directions
each of which is equal to a trunk
line. The NJ. o. & G., running
to the south, constitutes the fifth.
These railroad facilities make
the town a valuable distributing
point in every direction for lorg
distances. We need right now a
good Building & Loan Associa-
ton to encourage the building of
homes. They are an actual uec-
essity, and we must have them.
Through the building and loan
association is one way to obtain
them. Let's get busy now; get
together like men and take ad-
vantage of our great opportuni-
ties. God made the world, men
make towns, and we can make
Baxter grow. One thousand peo-
= e can be added to this place BY
next Christmas and thousands OF
dollars in property valuation.
Let's start the band wagon and
make it 90. Now is the time.

Huge Combination.

A huge lead combination has
been formed in this country. The
Eagle White Lead Company OF
Cincinatti and the Picher White
Lead Co. of Joplin are said to
have consolidated, with a capital
stock of ten million dollars, fully
paid up.
This will be another big adv.
for this district, as the stock
holders and others interested in
the Eagle company will find that
there is really another place
where lead is mined than where
their ores have been coming from.

Sure Way to Get
Rid OF Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it, This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this. Just
get about four ounces of plain, ordi-
nary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning, most If not all. of your
dandruff will be gone. and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace Of it. no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find. too, that all itching
and digging Of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous. glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive. and
four ounces is all you will need This
simple remedy has never been known
to fail.
