Fruit Firm Expands

White & Allen, who are dealers
in wholesale fruits and vegetables
in this city, have grown in busi-
ness to such an extent that they
are now adding new forces to
take care of all their trade.
T. A. Elwood, who came here
when the store was opened, will
be out from now on as a field
man. H. M. CHM of Mount
Vernon, Mo-, will probably take
his place. Another man will be
hired to take care of the orders
from small dealers and deliver
them as soon as they are received
in the Office. When the business
was first opened Mr.. Elwood
alone took care Of all the trade.
It was not long before the local
Office began to receive fruits and
vegetablesin car load lots. Now
the company reaches, practically,
eveEy mining camp III the field.

GIRL KILLED At
R. R. CROSSING
Second Accident Within Few
Weeks Trains Hidden.
From View Until Too
Close to Track

Geraldine Turner, colored
IA year old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Sam Turner, died Saturday
about FIVE hours after having
been struck by an engine on the
Frisco track, at the crossing on
South street. The girl was not
run over but received a blow on
che side of the head which
rendered her unconscious, in
which condition she continued
until death came.
The mother and Geraldine and
another child and Mrs. Bartha
were driving west in a one-horse
light wagon. They were going
to the mill for some feed. Just
as they got onto the track Mrs.
Turner discovered a passenger
train approaching from the south.
She whipped up the horse and
succeeded in getting the rig clear
of the track in time to avoid
being run into, but the girl either
jumped or was thrown from her
seat when the horse was whipped
up and in her flight was struck
by the engine.
The engineer saw the accident
and brought his train TO a stop
within a few car lengths of the
scene of the accident. The girl
was taken home and physicians
responded quickly to the call
and worked hard to restore her,
but without success. The funeral
was held on Monday.
County Coroner j. S. McAuley.
of Columbus, was notified but
after receiving particulars he
decided that an inquest would
not be necessary.
The crossing is a dangerous
place for the reason that travellers
are not able to see approaching
trains until right on the track.
The council has asked the Frisco
to put a watchman there, and it
is likely that this will be done
soon.

Organize Home
Guards in Kansas

Lawrence, July 12-"East St
Louis, ILL.,, is being patrolled By
a National Guard battalion tc
put down the awful riots there
Arizona is calling for regulars to
keep order during a mine strike.
Suppose all the troops were in
Europe or badly needed on the
border, what would we do II
there was need for troops in
Kansas? Why, call the Home
Guard, of course. And, since we
have no home guard in Kansas,
we're organizing one"
Dean F. w. Blackmar of the
University Of Kansas, chairman
Of the public defense committee
OF the state council for defense,
and James A. Kimball, chairman
OF the home guards committee,
have started the movement for q
home guard. 1t has been ap-
proved by Governor Capper,
who recommends that home
guards be formed in every local.
ity of the state.
"Adjutant General Martins
office in Topeka will send partic-
ulars to any Kansan desiring to
organize a home guard unit"
Dean Blackmar said. "The
Home Guard in no way interfere
with the National Guard or with
recruiting, but will aid them.
Its purpose is to develop loyalty
and to provide elementary mill
tary training that its members
may be of service in defense of
the country if needed. They are
to assist the federal military
service in every way they can
and are to raise and distribute
funds for war time purposes,
such as Red Cross work and
other relief.
"Any male person 16 years old
or over is eligible to membership
in the home guard unit of the
community where he resides,
upon application, signing the
roll and paying twenty-five
cents. The officers of each unit
will be a president vice president,
recorder and treasurer,
elected for one year by the
organization. They shall appoint
a marshall. and submarshan who
will have charge of all military
work of the unit.
when necessary for local
defense of persons and property
the home guard may be called
put by the sheriff, other peace
officers, or by the governor.
"Adjutant General Martin,
Topeka, will send all necessary
blanks to those desiring to
home guards"

Stolen Horse Came Back

Any person who would steal a
horse from a hard working color
ed man, ride him several miles
out in the country and then turn
him loose, ought to have to work
on the roads for the county for a
whole year.
That's what happened to Abe
Boyd Saturday night. His little
bay horse disappeared and he
didn't come back till Monday
after Abe and his friends had
secured the country for the
animal and gotten out cards
offering a reward for its return.
The horse when found was on its
way back home out on the Che
topa road. Some one had gone
into the stable and united the
horse and taken him halter and
all.

No More Liquor Ads
in Dry Territory


Liquor advertising or liquor
soliciting by letter, postal card,
circular, newspaper or publication
of any kind viii be barred from
the mails by act of congress, when
addressed to any one in dry
territory.
Anyone knowingly" sending
a liquor ad in violation of this
act of congress, whether publisher
of a newspaper or his agent or
any liquor dealer or his agent, Is
liable to 81, 900 fine and imprison-
ment for six months. For any
subsequent offense a years i'm
prisonment may be imposed.
Newspapers and magazine
readers in dry territory are likely
to receive their papers censored"
of liquor ads by the liberal use
of shears on the part of news
dealers. This practice is already
in effect in Georgia.
Not only states which are
completely dry, but dry counties,
towns and even wards in sub
divisions of any state or city
otherwise "dry" are closed to
liquor advertising or soliciting
by mail.

READY FOR THE
RED CROSS DRIVE
Powerful Aggregation of Boost.
ers Will Bend Efforts To
Raise $4,000.

Five thousand dollars is the
mark set by the Red Cross
finance committee to be raised
next week in the big drive ithru-
out Baxter Springs and vicinity.
1t is formidable in size when, one
looks at 1t from a narrow, selfish
point of view, but not at all un-
reasonable to expect, when one
takes the view that ,money sent
to Europe for Red Cross work is
not a donation, but simply squar-
ing ones debt to humanity.
Many think the committee
ought to have set the limit at ten
thousand. Several wealthy people
have already expressed a willing
ness to give literally.
This week is being devoted to
advertising and preliminary work.
Committees are meeting every
night in the work of selecting
field managers and workers, esti-
mating the probable financial
strength of each section in which
the community has been divided,
preparing lists, etc. The plan will
be perfect, no one is going to be
overlooked, neither is anyone 60
ing to escape. If there is a slack
er in the community, he is going
to be found out. The names OF
all who give are going to be pub
lshed and those who don't will
be conspicuous because Of their
absence. .-.
The finance committee selected
by Baxter Chapter Monday
night is composed of E. C. Me-
Williams, chairman; DR.. Boswell,
L. L. Cardin, OF. Brenton, W.T..
Apple, Ed Polster, and A. L.
Harvey.
The response to the call for
workers has been spontaneous and
generous, indicating no lack of
sympathy here for the unfOrtn-
nate war victims. Today, a
committee of young men and
women are at work distributing
papers around the city and talk
ing up an interest in the Red
Cross campaign.
When the members chose Mrs.
Bates for their general chairman,
they chose fortunately and wisely.
Fortunately because she has lots
Of time at her disposal while wait
ing to get into her new home, and
is devoting all that time to the
cause, regardless of heat or social
affairs. Wisely, because, she is o
very capable organizer and had
acquired a splendid
understanding of the work from
having assisted in the campaign
IN Carthage before coming to
Baxter.
While plans are being laid for

Chapter under the leadership of
Mrs. ]. H. Boswell, is making q
