Fort Worth, Texas. Mr.. Stauffer, ST.,
has just returned to Columbus from a
trip through the south, during which
he visited his son at the camp. He
saw his son fly and while there,
through parties, learned how a fly

his life. The boys were in the habit
of flying near each other and the
partner was always bantering young
Stauffer to do some stunts" A short
time before Mr.. Stauffer, ST., arrived
at the camp the partner, a young man
by the name of Rose, lost his life in
attempting to make dangerous turn
in his plane. Young Stauffer flew to
the ground as quickly as he could but
the young man was dead when he
reached him. John Stauffer enlisted
from Columbus, but is well known in
Baxter Springs. L. T. Cammack is
manager of the Baxter end of the

PAY ROLL OF $500 A WEEK
is BIG HELP TO BAXTER

]. {. HUNT IS A LIVE WIRE

Prestige

]. Z. Hunt, manager Of the Baxter
laundry, isn't letting any grass grow
under his feet in the development Of
his own business, and he is a walk
ing, talking advertisement for Baxter
Springs. The Baxter laundry pays
out $500 to Baxter Springs help ev-
cry week. This article isn't written
at the solicitation Of anybody, but is
Just part of a plan of The Baxter
Daily Citizen to call attention from
time to time to our assets in the way
of men and business houses that are
really doing something for the town.
It is the intention Of the manager
of this $4,000 plant to pull business
to the city of Baxter Springs and
turn out his product with q Baxter
pay roll. Already our laundry is do
ing more than 5000 worth of out OF
town business per week.
Owing to the lack of street anc
house signs and the general miscel-
laneous condition of the residence dis
trict the laundry experienced some
difficulty in delivering at the first, bu'
this has been remedied now and ev'
erything is progressing smoothly.
Mr.. Hunt is very busy man nee
essarily in getting his business or
ganized and adjusted to the field, but
he is long on the theory Of community
organization and wants to see Baxte'
Springs thoroughly organized against
outside trade aggression and is will
ing to lend q hand and spend some
money to help bring this about. Tho
laundry buys everything possible t.
get in Baxter Springs. The plant is
modern and the help efficient and bus
mess is deserving of unanimous home
patronage. Some $4,000 per annum
spent in Baxter Springs for hell
alone is one of the items that hell
swell the whole to make a good tOwr
and quite a deal of prestige accruOi
also from the investment.
