BOYS MAY HAVE
TO CO TO JAIL
FOR HAVING PLACED OBJ
STRUCTIONS ON RAIL
ROAD TRACK
HELD TO THE GRAND JURY
On the Charge Of Attempting to
Wreck A Frisco Train Near
Baxter Springs Last
Month

On Sunday, November 25, an at
tempt was made by some one to
wreck q Frisco passenger train, by
placing some large bolts on the track
This act was committed at q point
q couple of miles north Of Baxter
Springs.
James and Adam Troyer, two boys
under 81 who live near that point,
were arrested q few days later on
the charge of having committed the
deed for the purpose Of wrecking
the train.
Bessie and Hugh Davis, the small
children of Mr.. and Mrs. John Davis,
reported to their parents that they
saw the Troyer boys putting things
on the track; Mr.. Davis at once tele-
phoned to Baxter and the word was
received at the Frisco station in time
to give the engineer of the train or
ders to run SLOW and look out for OBJ
structions. This avoided a wreck.
On the information of the Davis
children the Troyer boys were arrest
ed and taken to Columbus where they
have been since the day of their ar
Test.
Friday their case was given its pre-
liminary hearing before Justice ]. 4.
Carter and the boys were bound over
to the March term Of the district
court at Galena.
A bond of $1,000 was placed on
each of the young men and charge
Of felony was entered against tim.
If convicted they will have to serve
three to five years in the penitentiary.
At the time of the arrest of the
boys it was reported that they had
been influenced by German sympa-
thizers to commit the crime as an
act to hinder the government, but
nothing was brought out in the evil
dence to substantiate this claim.

ONE.sIDED Quotations

We are told that the demands Of
the times necessitate special educa-
ton of our youth for special lines Of
cndeavor-that the "all round" man
is q misfit in American life. In a
measure this is true, but it is q theory
that may easily be carried to excess.
In the first place, education does
not consist in acquiring knowledge,
but rather in the ABILITY TO acquire
knowledge. The truly educated man
is not so much the man who has ac-
1uired an extensive knowledge on a
given subject, rs one who has so de-
veloped his intellect that it is capable
of acquiring a comprehensive know
ledge of ANY subject. Frequently
the most helpless and most to be pit
led of human beings is the man thor
oughly skilled in some one line, but
with an abysmal ignorance Of all else
than his own speciality.
The one predominating trait fol-
which the American character has
heretofore been known is adaptability
the power to measure up to any
emergency. This trait has brought
men from between the plOw handles
and landed them in the halls of Con-
gress. It has taken men from the
cobbler's bench and clothed them with
the Judges robe. It transposed 9
Billy Sunday from the baseball dia'
mond to the great tabernacles where
thousands hang upon his every word
1t is this quality of adaptabilitS
that must not be educated out Of Am
erican youth. Train for speciality i
you will; develop skill in a choseI
line, and develop it to the utmost
But do not destroy initiative.
The value Of this trait was nevel
more forcibly shown in the readiness
with which our young men hav'
adapted themselves to the army life
The young clerk now shoulders hi
kit and takes jauntily to the lOni
hike; the dreamy scholar wields tn
pick and shovel in the trenches q
though to the manner born. Tn
young man who has all his life take
orders from others, now directs tn
activities of hundreds, while he VIII
has heretofore had a small army a
his beck and call, now serves in tn
ranks.
In educating, lets first develop tn
POWER Of applicatiOn-after that !

RED CROSS SENDS
WAR MONEY
MEMBERSHIP DRIVE TO BE
STARTED IN JAN
UARY
VOLUNTEER WORKERS NEEDED
Collections Fall Short of Sub
scriptiOns - A Membership
Drive to be Started At
ter New Years

At a meeting Of the executive COM
mittee of the Baxter Red Cross chap
ter Thursday night the treasurer was
instructed to forward to the Red
Cross fund, in Washington, $1,000
this sum being the net amount OF
money collected on the subscriptions
taken here in the big drive n few
months ago. Altogether $4,000 was
subscribed, leaving about $1,000 in
unpaid pledges. A report will be made
out in n few days and published. 1t
will show names of the subscribers
who have paid, also those whose
pledges remain unpaid. Should there
be any who desire to pay the amount
they have pledged now, the money
may be left with Walter Hartley at
the Baxter State Bank.
Out of the fund remitted to Wash
ington, the local Chapter expects to
get one fourth, or 81 800 for use in
purchasing materials to be used in
making garments and bandages, etc.
in the work rooms. This in accord
ance to the rules of the Red Cross
War Fund management, and to that
end a formal application has been
made. When that money is available
the local work can be pushed, but for
the present the chapter is pretty
short on funds.
\The membership fee is Sl.00 and all
VINO have not yet identified them
selves with the work are urged to be-
come members. The fee can be left
at the work room at any time. Help
ers in the work room will also be
needed after Christmas. Work will
be largely suspended until after the
holidays.
Mrs. Petrea N. Twente, who has
served as secretary very faithfully
since the organization of the Local
chapter, found that her school work
is taking so much of her time that
she could not continue as secretary
Her resignation was accepted anc
Miss Grace Perkins was appointed Us
her successor.
Regarding Baxter Springs part II
the big drive for membership that is
now on, the executive committee af'
ter careful consideration decided tC
defer the drive in this city until af
ter the first of the year.
Baxter was not supplied with ser
vice flags and membership applica
ton blanks like other places, nor will
instructions, so that this city coult
Join in the drive at the start, and nov
it was thought too near the holidays
to be able to get the best results.
Mrs. John Griffard, president
would like in the meantime to hav'
volunteers for the membership drive
People who feel that they want to d'
their part in this great work and wh'
have not yet started, can be Of grea
assistance. The Baxter Springs mem
bership ought to be up to 1,5OO at tn
least.

TAXI SERVICE BADLY NEEDED

It has been brought to the attention
Of the Daily Citizen that down in the
mining field around HOckerville, On
tario and St. Louis are employed a
number of men who would like to live
in Baxter and would live here if they
could get regular transportation back
and forth. 1t would seem that some
person for q while at least might find
a profitable business in running q
taxi bus between these places and
Baxter, making a trip down in the
morning with the men and down
again at night to bring them home.
