Editor and Sole Owner
Mr.. Farmer

Baxter Springs and the vicin-
ity are booming. Are you doing
what you can to get your share
out of this prosperity? In justice
to yourself and in the interest OF
your wife and children are you
carefully planning to raise all
you can this year and to get the
top price for everything you
grow so that your profit may
compare favorably with the
general prosperity Of the south
western Kansas. You may own
your land or you may be a mere
tenant. No matter what you are,
! big chances are knocking at your
door. Will you open it and let
in better times?
To-day you occupy a unique
position in this vicinity. 1t
matters not whether the railroads
are running or not. 1t matters
not whether the commission men
have the corner on the market
or not. 1t matters not if the
whole markets in the cities are
flooded with vegetables. All
these will not hurt you one bit.
Your market is at your door.
You have a horse, or you may
have an auto. Raise all the
vegetables you can, all the
chickens and eggs, butter and
cream and retail them at your
very door---at the mines.
In the past you have been
complaining about hard luck,
about market disadvantages,
about lack of railroad facilities.
Today forget about all these,
spend your time in planning and
planting. A golden harvest is
waiting for you. People have
the money to pay for the best
fresh vegetables, eggs, poultry,
cream and milk you have for sale.
Some are discovering mines
under the ground. Your mine
is at your door. Others are
eager to develop their mines and
get the ore out of the ground.
What are you doing to develop
your land to its fullest capacity
and turn its prod6ce into cash,
Mr.. Farmer?

Let's Get Busy

= development ana not not AT
advertising is the need of the
city of Baxter is the opinion of
H. L. Shultz, the owner and
proprietor of Hotel Baxter.
What the city needs is devel-
opment to meet the fast growing
demands" declared Mr.. Shultz.
Sewage is the crying need Of
Baxter. 1t should be constructed
Immediately. Otherwise we will
be listed as one of the slow poke
towns from which Baxter shook
of sometime ago.
Situated as we are in the heart
of the greatest zinc and lead
mines in the world, with beauti-
full springs, parks, and drive
ways and an elevated location
making Baxter a health resort,
winter and summer, the future of
our town is assured. What are
we doing to hasten the day when
Baxter goes on the map as an
ideal place in which to live? In
the face of our material progress
we are neglecting the essentials
that make life happier and con-
tented.
"The great need of sewage,
municipal lighting and water
systems is felt every day. The
sun hardly goes down that out
side capital is not turned away
from Baxter, because people do
not want to come to where SAM
tary conditions are not desirable.
"One-half of the increase on
the value of property due to
sewage, municipal lighting and
water plants, will pay double and
triple the amount of taxes
necessary for the Improvements
needed.
''Why we are scared to take
the initiative to make the i'm
provemsnts, / don't understand.
Within our city limits two tests
showed that we have mines test
ing 40 and go per cent. This in
itself is enough to encourage US
as to the future of our city.
"The people should grasp the
situation and begin at once hold
ing town meetings and urging
the city council for the improve
ments at an early date. 1t may
be costly to retard the growth of
the new born city of Baxter!
through difidence."
Realizing that an enormous
growth in population and added
wealth would reduce taxes instead
of Increasing them, Mr.. Shultz
is ready to do his part for muni-
cipal improvements.
