In handling the matter OF
granting franchises to the differ
emit electric railroad companies
that have expressed a desire to
operate on the streets of the city,
Baxter people should proceed
cautiously so that no streets will
be tied up before a good guarar'
tee is given that they will be
used, and on the other hand be
sure that no company that means
business is Disseminated against.
A line to Galena and Joplin will
be convenient and no doubt the
coming of the Southwest-M Missouri
will bring prosperity, bat the
crying need of this city is not a
line to Joplin, but a road from
here down through the mining
district as far as Commerce.
Such a road will bring hundreds
of people here to live and thous-
auds more here to trade. Our
city council will not lose sight of
this fact of course, but will see
that any road that really means
business is given encouragement
and all the street rights to which
they may be entitled.

A. {. PFREnnER,
Express Your Gratitude.

Forget your troubles today and
be thankful for what you have 30
far escaped. It's 4 mean indi-
vidual indeed who can't find
something to be grateful for on
this occasion. If yon can't smile
take a walk into woods; out there
by yourself You won't dishearten
others and perhaps the chipping
of the squirrels and the twitter
of the birds will cheer you mp.
The crops we're poor this year,
It's true, and the cost of living 10
high, but at that the community
is prosperous because at our very
door mother earth is yielding up
to us bountiful supply OF rich
metal that is commanding 4 high
price. So a case of poverty here
Is a rare thing indeed. And even
If we we're reduced to the verge
Of privation, our condition then
could not be compared with the
horrors at present bearing down
1
almost to the point of extermin-
alton our brothers and sisters IN
Europe.
Let us thank God for our de-
liverauce from this terrible
carnage, and pray fervently that
love, unselfishness and good will
to all,meu may continue to bold
the heart of this nation, and with
increasing firmness, that the lust
for power, for gain and for re-
venge may not enter therein and
plunge US also into this uuholy
war. Let us thank God for the
universal good health of the
community. for the Christian
spirit that works so we'll for the
peaceableness and neighbOrliness
of our people, and let US pray fol-
help to become even more chart
table and more tolerant toward
one another.
In the forward march of tenn
| perance, also, there is great cause
for gratitude. More than hall
the nation now has banished the
saloon, forever we believe, and
with it who can tell how much
want and woe and misery?
Bad as we know ourselves to be-
/ we are optimistic. We believ'
the world is growing better w
believe Divine Love has found
firmer Judgement in the hearts o
men, to the exclusion of hate ant
lust and selfshness; for where
one is the other cannot stay
There is SO much good in tn
present and so much hope in tn
future as to leave no room in on
\ searts today for discouragemen
and d6rbt.

Now that it is too cold to

" il is not too cold for the wind
to blow the dust about and stores
and homes on the main Travelled
roads are filled with it. The
remedy is oiled streets. Enough
is paid out for sprinkliug every
summer TO keep the streets well
oiled the year aroqnd and oil is
much better than the water any
way, because it preserves the
roads and keeps them smooth
for travel with little other at
teution. Oil for roads is not an
experiment, it is used successfully
10 thousands of places. Here Is
the opportunity for some enter
pricing contractor to take the
matter in hand and make con.
tracts with property owners to
keep the streets oiled ueEt year
instead of having them sprinkled.
