A quarter pound of limestone phos-

II Shouldn't Scare You II II Is
Now Possible to Get House

People in Baxter Springs can now
rent a house or a couple of rooms, Is
The report that has been circulated

people in town, but this is a very
treat mistake as we have ascertained
~ talking to the lumbermen and the
juilding contractors about town. Sew
raj dozen new houses have been COM
pleted and opened for rent during the

people, who have managed to live
,ere some way or another, are elated
md say Baxter will see another big
ncrease in population to begin before
he end of 80 days.
New houses are being completed in
,early every part Of town and many
lew. business buildings are almost
cady for occupancy. Several beaut-
full modern stores are coming in to
brighten up the residence section oil
he town and the congestion in both
he business and residence districts is
,ow being swiftly relieved.
Many people believe that Baxter
would have a population OF S,OOO at
his time had we been able to accom-
nodate them and think that many
,eople who have been virtually turn
d away from here from lack OF room
or them will return now that our
,uilders have caught up with the de-
land in a measure.
Other people say that with relief oil
he congestion the high rental ana
Ugh property values that have kept
many people away from Baxter
springs will automatically remedy the

barge exorbitant prices when the de-
nand is beyond the supply which con-

ible for family to exercise much

SOME REAL TOUGH LUCK
STORIES TOLD 10 CORB
SARCHET THESE DAYS
WOMAN WANTED TO WORK
Boys from Galena Came Over
and Wanted to Sign Up AS
Water Carriers During
Harvest Days.

If they could all be written up there
are many little human interest stories
being told to Corb Sarchet up at the
Chamber of Commerce these days. IL
is remarkable the response there has
been from all classes Of people to the
harvest hand call in Baxter Springs.
Most of those calling at the Chamber
want only information and advice and
continue on westward without signing
up here. Some dozens have visited
Mr.. Sarchet and tried to secure funds
to continue the trip westward to the
great harvest fields Of the central part
of the state. The office is besieged
all day with men who have heard that
the Baxter Chamber of Commerce is
making it possible for men without
means to 20 to the harvest fields.
Thursday q woman-a large heavy
woman-called on Mrs. Sarchet and
wanted some assistance to go to the
harvest fields, where she protested a
very strong desire to work either at
manual labor or cooking. Shortly al
terward an old man, apparently near
30 years of age wanted fare to Wich-
ita. He had come here from some
place back east and found that a son
living here had been dead and buried
for some time. He was broke anG
wanted fare to get to daughter who
lives at Wichita. A little later
quartet of men whom Mr.Sarchet said
looked like men perfectly adapted to
the work of the harvest came in and
wanted to know if there was any way
the Chamber of Commerce could adj
vance them any money to go on. Then
n procession lasting the remainder OF
the day came only in search Of in
formation. It is said that every emp
ty box car or flat car west bound Is
filed with harvest hands and that the
brakemen are not making much effort
to keep them from riding.
This morning four bright looking
boys came over from Galena and ask
ed Mr.. Sarchet if they could enlist
through the Baxter Chamber of Com
merce as water boys for the harvest
fields. Mr.. 'Sarchet has no authority
to enlist water boys and so after en-
planning this to the boys and COM
mending them for their plucky re-
solve, gave them a note to mining
man at Galena, who is going to send
a. team to the harvest, to send the
boys with the team if it is possible.
The boys were bright appearing little
men of from IL to ID years of age and
thanked the secretary for his kind |
ness. The boys had permission from
their parents to 60 to the western
harvest fields.
1t is strange how far the news has
circulated that the Baxter Springs
Chamber of Commerce is assisting in
every way possible the harvest hand
The farmers in this i'm
section are not so hard press
ed for hands as are the farmers in
the central part of the state and are
q little more selective in their choice
of men.

FILLER old TIMER"
Consolidate DepOts At Columbus for
War EcOnOmy-Filler Agent
for AZ Years.

Columbus Advocate: The CONSOLE
.iation of the Frisco and Katy railroad
systems which will affect passenger
and freight traffic in Columbus will
probably take place about June Is,
according to the latest information,
although the changes resulting in
such an event have not been officially
outlined.
The Frisco station in Columbus will
still continue to be used, and may be
moved to a more central part. Plans
FOR combining various freight and
storage building materials of the two
depots have been suggested in order
to furnish more room.
That train service cannot be great
ly altered is the general belief, as the
trains now on schedule are necessary
for the carrying of freight, ballast for
the road, etc. Then, too, ms the Frisco
and the Katy do not always run
through the same towns, and the rail-
roads must furnish a passenger train
running each way every day through
each town, it will not be possible to
make much change in passenger SER
vice, If the public accommodation is to
he considered.
The employees of the Katy manage
ment who will he no longer needed
have received the assurance that they
will be "taken care Of" This means
that, although it will mean n change
of location for some Of them, they, rs
skilled railroad employees, are much
in demand and will not suffer finan-
cially.
Among the employees of the two
railroad systems, are veterans OF the
road, men who have been ION the job"
in Columbus for almost a lifetime.
]. M. Filler holds the distinction OF
being first and only agent employed
in Columbus by that road. Forty-two
years ago he swept the shavings out
of the new Frisco depot, which was
the only one in Columbus at that time,
He has been on duty ever since.
Twelve years ago the Frisco offer
ed to retire Mr.. Filler upon life pen
sion of SIS n month, but he preferred
to continue in active service, and has
continued to fiji the place. His record
is probably not surpassed by half n
lozen men on the entire Frisco sys-
EN-. In all these AZ years, Mr.. Filler
mas only taken n couple of vacations
md those of very short duration.
E. r. Lane, the NJ. K. & T. agent,
,ame here ten years ago from Galena,
md has been on the job continuously
;ince that time. He does not know
low the new consolidation plan is go
ng to work out for him, but supposes
hat he will be retained in the rail-
Dad service, which he knows best.
However, If the upheaval should re-
ult in a change of location for Ed
here are a thousand jobs nowadays
valuable for any able-bodied man.

CRUCIBLE STEEL
MEETING STORMY
Stockholders Inquire About
Dividends on the Com
mon Stock.

The annual meeting of the Crucible
steel Company of America, which was
held yesterday, resulted in one % the
stormiest sessions in the history of the
company. and Herbert Du Puy, chair
man of the board of directors. as well as
o. II. Wharton. president of the COM
pany, were piled with questions as to
when dividends on the common stock
might be expected and what was the
value of this stock AS to the dividends.
Mr.. Du Puy explained that the Govern
ment's policy In regard to taxes ard war
orders would determine the time when
payments could be made. He further ex-
planned that labor difficulties were re-
sponsible for the absence OF disburse-
ments on the common stock.
"If the Government takes away lot
of money in taxes said Mr. Du Puy,
land at the same time cancels our or
ders, naturally common dividends cam
not be paid. The plants of the company
are working 100 per cent. on war bust
ness. The orders which we have direct
from tho Government are all for the
Navy Department on guns and proJec-
tiles. and If the navy programme OF ex-
pansion is continued, as has been indi-
Gated, this business will continue.

In about another year. This work would

permitted"
Mr. Du Puy further explained that all
increased facilities have been so con-
structed as TO permit speedy resumption
OF commercial business at the least cost
President Wharton dwelt upon the eff
forts being made by the company to get
foreign business now that the war has
ended. The branch houses in Petro-
grad, London and Paris expect large
orders, while the branches In China and
Japan, which have been operating for n
year, also look forward to considerable
business. South America is also being

time ago by the War Department.
Since the war began Mr.. Bowie has
handled close to 10000 ounces Of the pre-
cious metal. this being the entire platI-
mum requirements Of the Government for
war purposes. Platinum was sent to the
local Assay Office in various forms
and reconverted into bars, &C. for ship
ment to powder and ordnance factories
throughout the United States for use in
