Need Help of Ladies.

Here's a job for the Civic In
urovement Club. When the men
get stuck they always have to
call on the ladies. A month OF
so ago a movement was set on
foot in Baxter to get the road
between town and the cemetery
graded and graveled, primarily
so that funeral corteges and other
people desiring to visit the Gene
terry might have a passable road
the year round. II is we'll known
that in the past the road has
cen very bad. The county com.
missioners we're appealed to and
they made the generous offer to
grade the road and put in culverts
and then pay half the cost of
putting on the gravel. Gravel.
ing the two miles will cost 81, 900.
Baxter must raise 81, 900. So far
about $500 of this has been raised
altogether among the business
men. The farmers along the
way are expected to pay as much
more toward the work because of
he benefit that will accrue to
their property. That will leave
a balance of $500 which the COM
nittee hopes to raise through
contributions from lot owners
and people who have friends and
relatives buried out there and
who ought to have a pride 1t
helping to give Baxter u good
burying ground and a passable
road to it. 1t would seem that
they owe it to the memory of
their dear ones who have passed
beyond. However, a month ago
1 letter in which an appeal for
assistance was made, was sent to
al lot owners and the effort
brought absolutely no response.
It would seem at first thought
that the dead in Baxter are soon
forgotten, but more likely the
appeal was disregarded because
it came in letter form, and would
be met generously if a personal
canvass were to be made. The
News has no authority to ask it,
5ut it strikes Us that here is
where the ladies might do a
splendid work and help a worthy
cause by organizing and making
A personal solicitation from lot
owners in Baxter, in the country
around Baxter and from people
who have moved away leaving
relatives buried here. Messrs.
NcWilliams and Harvey have the
matter in hand and we are sure
would be glad to receive help
from the ladies. The county has
about completed the grading of
the road, but the crawling of
the same will not be taken up
until all of the required sum is
raised. If all the money is not
raised the road will be left as it
is, not half way done.

is most creditable from very point

this aim. Both Galena and
