MIAMI RECORD.HERALD
GIVES THEM THE LAW

The following is from the Miami
Herald, and applies almost the same
in Baxter Springs:
"Article Two of the Weed ordi-
nance reads as follows: That 1t shall
be the duty Of every owner or occu-
pant of any lot or parcel Of ground
within the limits of the city to keep
the same free and clear from weeds
and tall grass, and also to keep the
side walks in front Of and around the
same free from weeds and tall grass,
provided that in case
the owner or his agent resides outside
the jurisdiction Of the police depart
ment, the Board of Health may order
said work done and assess the cost
thereof against the property
"l'hose found guilty Of violating the
provisions of this law shall pay q fine
of not less than five, nor more than
twenty dollars, failure to pay said
amount, q Jail sentence is provided.
After receiving notice by the Super
intendent of the Board Of Health the
above penalty provides for each day
q separate offense.
"Mr. Owner, Agent or Occupant, are
you complying with the provisions
above enumerated? II you are not,
you are fragrant violator of the law
and should be punished accordingly,
If you fail to cut the weeds after re-
ceiving notice you are guilty of crime.
Are you willing to live in Miami and
openly violate such a law; q law that
has to do with the health and well be-
ing of your neighbors? August is an
excellent month for weed-cutting; 1t
is q dangerous time for women and
children to breathe the poison from
such weeds. Will you continue to
violate the law and have the finger OF
scorn pointed at you as an outlaw?
Cut your weeds and prove your good
intentions"

ditionary Forces:
The first written on board boat on
way to France, the others after his
arrival In France:
Dear Home Folks:-
Well, we are still on our way. !
am writing on board ship and some
where in the Atlantic ocean. We had
few days Of rough weather and
nearly everybody got sick. OF course
l had to be in style too.
The boys seem to be In good spirits
and have begun to talk about the trip
back already. Submarines seem to be
the least of the boys troubles. The
other day one of The boats in the con-
voy fired several shot at something,
two boys on our boat were playing
checkers, one looked up and asked
what they were shooting at and went
on with the game. 1t did not bother
him. If l could have Travelled first
class this would have been beautiful
trip, as the weather and ocean are
fine. While I was writing we were
called out for boat drill. We received
wireless news on the boat. The editor
of the famous Appeal to Reason is on
board. think he is going over to
give Russia some pointers on how to
run their government. Ha ha.
The little destroyers certainly have
busy time. They remind me Of q

NJ. D. { c. CUTS
OUT ONE TRAIN
Baxter Also Made the Terminus
for Passenger Traffic-Only
Freight to Joplin, Is Spec
ial Order

The management of the M. o. &
G. railroad has issued special orders
for q radical change IN the schedule
of passenger trains operating on that
line.
Henceforth trains Nos. ! and 2,
passengers, will operate only between
Dennison, Tex, and Miami.
Trains Nos, 3 and 4 will run only
between Dennison, Tex, and Baxter
Springs. This train will arrive in
Baxter Springs at p. m. each week
day and leave for the south at 2:15
p. m,
This not only does away with all
passenger service on that road be-
tween Baxter Springs and Joplin, but
cuts out the evening mail service to
Joplin as well.
The elimination of unnecessary
trains is supposed to be the reason
for making the change.
Joplin Objects
Joplin, Mo-, Aug. 9.-Informatior
received yesterday by Joseph Leopold
secretary of the Chamber Of Com
merce, that the Missouri, Oklahoma 4
Gulf Railway Company had arranged
to discontinue passenger service intC
Joplin next Sunday prompted Leo
pold to telegraph to officials Of the
company at MuskOgee, seeking def
mite statement in the matter.
The M. o. & G. has planned to stOT
its passenger trains at Miami and
Baxter to which places it operates its
own lines. The road used the Frisco
into Joplin from Baxter. As the sys-
tenn is not under government control
Leopold took up the matter directly
with H. L. Traber, general freight
and passenger agent, and Henry G
Ferris, one Of the receivers for the
road, both officials having headquar'
ters in Muskogee.
Leopold sent the following message
70 the two officials:
1--WE have just learned that YOU
railroad contemplates the removal Of
passenger service from Joplin, stop
ping trains at Miami and Baxter. VIZ
are interested in knowing the reasor
and, further, whether or not your or

WILL PLAN A
SCHOOL HERE
Use of Assembly Rooms in the
GOOdeagle Building Has Been
rendered for the School
of Mining

Last winter, Professor A. c. Terrill,
head of the department Of mining en-
gineering at the University of Kan
sas, came down from Lawrence to put
on o twelve weeks course in mining
and ore dressing for the miners and
millmen and any others in the new
Kansas Oklahoma zinc fields who
would be interested in classes held at
the Chamber Of Commerce rooms one
or two evenings week and dealing in
q popular way with technical mining
subjects. Professor Terrill had his
teaching schedule at the University so
arranged that he had no classes after
noon of Wednesday each week. His
coal mining classes at the penitentiary
coal mine at Lansing required two
evenings, Wednesday and Thursday
but the last class ended at 8 p. m.
Thursday giving him an opportunity
of reaching Kansas City by interur-
ban in time to tabe the night train
down. By spending Friday and Sat-
urday here each week, it was thought
by Dean Shead and Professor Terrill
that classes could be formed. Upon
his arrival Professor Terrill found
the Chamber of Commerce rooms
available for use but Sec'y Sarchet
had not yet arrived on the scene and
the street car line completed only as
far as Baxter. The difficulty Of get
ting the men in from the camps with
out the car line seemed too much OF
an obstacle and the matter was drop
ped to be taken up again in the fall
Since that time plans have progress
sed to the point of assuring classes
this fall, perhaps on a considerably
larger scale than at first planned
Not only has the Engineering Depart
ment of the State University been as
sured the cooperation Of the Chamber
of Commerce and its energetic secre-
tary, but the use of the large assem-
bly, room in the GOOdeagle building
has been offered for the work. As
plans have developed, a still larger
place has been sought and q move
ment is now on foot to provide ample
quarters and several thousand dol
lars worth of equipment for the work
which 1t Is hoped to launch about
October first.

LEE FOIL.

NEW YORK.-Lee Foil, the ag-
gressive boss OF the Cleveland In
dams, ploughed his way 10 the front
ranks of major league managers
without ever having played in the
big show.
Fohls experience as a player was
confined TO the minors. and though
he came close to wearing a big
league uniform the fates decreed
that he should come up as a man
ager. At one time he was drafted
by Cincinnati from Youngstown Of
the old o. and p. league, but the
draft was never exercised. He stuck
in the minors until 1915. when
Cleveland brought him up as a
coach OF the battery men. and his
experience as a veteran minor
league catcher served him well.
He started his professional career
as a player in 1903 with Des Moines,
in the Western league, and was
switched To Youngstown two years
later. After three years with
Youngstown he went to Lima
as manager in 1909 and won a pen
nant The next year he was given
the steering wheel with Akron, o.,
and won the pennant again, this
year catching almost every game
himself He repeated at Akron the

him that season.
In 1913 he went over TO hunting
ton, w. Va, 10 handle the team
there, but the season was not a sue
cess and the league blew up in mid
season. In 1914 he took charge Of
the Waterbury, Conn. team of the
New England league, caught many
or the games and brought the team
through 10 second place when the
curtain went down. He pleased
Charles Somers. owner of the
Waterbury and Cleveland teams at
that time. so well that he was
brought to Cleveland and placed
over the batterymen with the In
dams in 1915. Later in the season
he was placed at the head when Joe
Birmingham was taken off the
throne.
When James c. Dunn and col
leagues bought the team at the end
of the season, FohTs work in the
closing weeks appealed TO them suf-
fciently so that he was renamed for
the managers berth. His men have
improved under his mana cement,
judging by percentages for the past
two seasons. and the town and team
are behind Foil this season and
