The Southwest Missouri Railroad
company having completed prae-
tically, the grading Of the road bed

The News has no definite state

A PERSONAL CALL
To THElREADER
Y. NJ. c. A. Relief Fund Needs
Your Assistance Patriotic
Duty Must Be Per-
formed
Your country needs you!

lOuI SON'
This is not a call to those of draft
age, able bodied and fit for service
in the trenches. II is n call to you.
To the reader of these lines, what
ever your station or walk in life the
call comes.
DR.. Boswell, who has charge OF
the Y. NJ. C. A. war relief fund drive,
reports that the committees, appoint
ed to raise Baxter Springs quota Of
the $35,OOO,0OO fund, are meeting
with some Encouragement. Some
complaints are heard that there have
been so many things to aid that it is
becoming burden.
Burden! There is not a citizen OF
Baxter Springs as yet who has had
the slightest experience of a personal
burden on account of the great world
war. Who of US have gone hungry
or cold-who have sacrificed the least
personal comfort on account Of the
war? 1t is not necessary to recount
here the purposes for which this fund
is being raised. The facts are per,
fectly familiar to US all. The great
thing for US to get into our minds
today is that this fund must not
cannot fail. Baxter Springs MUST
come up with her quota.
Dr.. Boswell received Yord Tuesday
that Baxter Springs quota would be
$4,000 instead of $1,000 as was first
understood. Wednesday morning on
| ly about one-third of that amount had
been secured. Let US look the situa'
tion squarly in the face. This FUND
is being raised for the good of youl
son and your neighbor's son, who are
fighting or preparing to fight for the
principles that we, as a liberty loving
people, hold most dear. The struggle
will establish forever the democratic
principle of government-the gov
ernment of right, and the end viii
only come when this is secured.
These brave American boys of our:
are going into this struggle to pre-
vent on American soil the outrages
that came to Belgium. You fathers
and mothers need only to read Of the
horrors of that brave little kingdom
to bring you to living reality Of what
war really means. On account of -th'
change in environment Of our boys
they will need every sustaining prin
ciple that can surround them. Thii
Y. NJ. C. A. work is peculiarly adapt
ed to their needs. At the sign Of thu
red triangle they will be able to FIND
Just the sort of wholesome aid they
need-the healthful recreation so nee
essary to the development Of the bes'
in young men.
When the committees approach you
put away that thought that thes'
calls are becoming very frequent
Think how much you can give withoui
its actually hurting and remember
that up to this point you have no
sacrificed in the least Do not U1VE

Last night there was well at tended regular meeting of the Skag, way Alpine club held in the lee ture room of the Presbyterian church.
 The Club took up the question of trails in and about Skagway, and a movement was set on foot which provides for the setting aside of one day in Skagway that will be known as Trail Building Day and an effort will be made to have the mer- chants, the railroad offices, the steamship offices and all the resi- dents to join in the project and for one day close their places of busi- ness, and under suitable and Intelli- gent supervision put in a day on the trails, the men doing the labor, and the women furnishing the lunch con, thus making the occasion a sort of picnic.

Saturday evening is the date eet for the big smoker at the Elks. These people always pull off some thing good, and the smoker wil be nothing less than a hummer.
 While it is primarily a stag af- fair, each member of the organiza- tion will invite some one friend who will receive his invitation through the committee, and this will, in 6 measure tend to hold the antlered tribe down. .
 The committee having charge or Ehe affair is of the old guard, and 1t knows how to handle such thinss as smokers, etc.

Home Ground Flour.

Grinding wheat to make flour may be done at home as easily as the grinding of coffee. Thus family may have whole wheat flour, freshly ground. a thing that is usually difficult to ob- tain. The New York Medical Journal advises It's readers to buy their wheat from seedsmen rather than from gro- cers or feed stores because 1t will be cheaper and more efficient.
 The grinder can be used also for cracking wheat, corn, barley, oats, rye and other grains for use as breakfast cereals And the cereals will need chewing, which will not only strength. en the muscles of the. chewers' jaws. but will keep thelr teeth from decay that is, if they begin Gs children.

r. W. Snyder, who recently dis
posed of his alfalfa ranch on Willow
creek, some three miles this side
of Lexington, to a Mr.. Moore, of
Salem is closing up a deal for the
Perry Chandler wheat ranch in Sour
Dough Canyon, to the north of Chas.
Valentines. This Is considered a
splendid piece of land, comprising
something like a section, but has
stood idle for the past year or two
and will require a lot of work to rid
it of the weeds. Mr.. Snyder, how
ever will get about three quarters
ready for Spring sowing and looks
for good crop. He states that Jim
Hill mustard is beginning to show up
at great rate and is already an inch
high. This is a good condition and
will put the weed in shape to be
turned under by the plow. Mr.. Sny-
der will give his entire attention to
wheat raising in the future.

Shearing Plant Ready For Work.
Shearing will probably start at
the Echo sheep shearing plant next
Monday morning. II the weather
permits most of the mutton sheep
in this neighborhood will be sheared
now, so as to allow them to be on
the range a little while before shipp-
ing. Work will start on the Cunha
sheep. 1t is probable that only a
small crew, eight or ten men, will
be employed at present.
Next month shearing of the range
sheep starts and the full crew will be
on hand. ]. C. Wattenburger came

Editor Gazette-Times:

Editor GaZetteTimes:
The writer is in receipt of let

in regard to the National Education
Association, which will meet in Port
land, July TIA. This will be a great
event in the educational world. 1t
is not likely that the Association will
meet again ON the Pacific Coast for
several years. Hence, those inter-
ested. in education should plan to at
tend.
A movement Is on foot to secure
a large number of new members.
Every teacher will find it worth
while to become a member. Even il
it should be impossible to attend the
meeting, the bound volume of the
proceedings will be worth more than
the $500 membership fee, which is
charged for associate membership.
Many will desire to become active
members. The fee for active mem-
bership is $500 for the first year,
and $500 per year after the first.
1t would also be good thing for
every school board to take out mem-
bership, and if possible send at least
one member to attend the meeting.
The school officers division has be-
come one of the most valuable divi-
sions of the whole association. Mr..
Plummer is president of this DIVISION
A school board member who attends
this convention will find the money
and time spent most valuable in
vestment. It would pay any board
to take out a membership In order
to secure the volume of the proceed
ings. The book is worth several
times the price of the membership
The addresses which will be publish
ed in this book will be the cream OF
educational thought at the present
time.
There should be a large number
of people from this cLdnty In at

this State is large. 1t is estimated
that there will be from $4,000 to-
10000 visitors from outside the

the states east of the Rocky Noun
tains ask them to come this way
They can make you visit and attend
the convention. The railroad rates
will be very low.
If those who desire to apply for
membership will notify the writer, he
will obtain the application blanks,

mendation. While the writer has, In

Marcus Kopple, in the Farmers

came in about 1890 o'clock and the

guished in a short time. The store
was known as the Grand Leader and
though the stock of dry-goods was
almost entirely ruined by fire, smoke
and water, the loss was fully covered
by insurance. The building was also
adequately insured-Condon Times.
