comfort their hearts over the death OF
John the Baptist. They had NO

also the proper use Of leisure, but the
multitude would not grant him this but

to help the man without che teaching.
We also infer that the soul of a man
is of more value than his body. 1t is

is hungry. Sympathy must issue In ac-

A Great Task.
John tells us of the conversation
with Phillip. Phillip lived in Bethsaida
nearby, but to feed this multitude was
too great task, even with his knowl-
edge and resources (John $, ~. Yet
we need not beesurprised at Phillips
slowness of faith. Moses in a similar
| case was once nonplussed as to how to
feed the thousands in the wilderness

fact concerns neither the need nor oul
| poverty, but the absolute surrender OF
our aal--however little-to God.

SCHOOL ON NEW TINE

There have been many inquiries to
know whether the schools Of the coun-
try were going to adopt the new time
card that was effective Sunday, by
which all clocks are set an hour ahead.
No exceptions are made in the gov
eminent order and the Baxter Springs
schools, as we'll as all others that we
have heard from, expect to adopt the
new rule without quibbling. This is
going to call for some hustling in the
early morning for many, especially
the students who live distance IN the
country, but this is, time Of sacri-
fee for all, and we should try out
without q murmer, everything that
even looks like it might make our day
Woodworking hours help more in win
ming the war. Bear in mind, an hour
earlier to school and an hour earlier
to business until October.

MANY SAW TIME MOVED
People FlOcked from Churches
to Hear Clock Program
In Baxter

Baxter Springs is one Of the few
cities of the country to have observed
the setting forward of the clock an
hour by an appropriate ceremony OF
public nature. Quite a large per
centage of the townspeople gathered
at the corner of Eleventh and Mill
tary streets yesterday between the
hours of II m. and l p. m. where a
fitting tribute was paid the new meas
ure of congress in the form Of an ex-
ceptionally well rendered short pro-
gram.
The program was as follows: In
vocation, Rev. John Garretson, of the
Presbyterian church; Opening re-
marks, Mayor E. L. Wright; address,
R. Z. Rosenstein; vocal solo, Miss Mil
dred Popplewell, and led by Miss Pop
plewell the entire gathering sang
America" and %The Star Spangled
Banner"
Mayor Wright, in his remarks, laid
special emphasis upon the general ap-
probation that the wishes Of the in
lividual must coincide with the well
fare of the nation relative to facilita-
ton of the progress of the war. he
wildly brought out the "why" Of the
passing of the daylight saving meas
ure by Congress. R. E. Rosenstein in
a short address said that law breakers
and strikers at this time are synono-
nous with profteers and that both
ought to face firing squad with their
backs to a stone wall. He said that
any one sacrificing government wei
fare or in any way obstructing the
course of the government and the war
were traitors and should be punished
as such. The remainder of Mr.. Ros-
enstein's address was of patriotic
strain concluding with plea to the
people to do their bit for the govern
ment in this time of strain.
A large clock facing the crowd re-
presented the official time piece OF
Baxter Springs and according to the
proclamation the time was not chang
ed until this meeting. Miss Marie
Pieper represented the Baxter High
School in turning forward the clock
one hour.

BOTH SAW RED AND HIT.
Man Who Did Not Understand
War Tax Was No
Stacker

A one round bout between a street
car conductor and a passenger OF the
Rogers line attracted quite an aud
fence near the Baxter Springs post Of
flee this morning at 1880. 1t seems
from the story of both sides that q
young man living over in Missouri
and working at the plasterers trade
down at Picher was at loss to I'M
derstand the 3 cents war tax charged
by the company between Baxter and
Webb City, Mo-, and somewhat re-
sented the collection of it blythe con-
ductor. Words were exchanged more
or less uncomplimentary in character
for several miles, eliminating in the
conductor calling his passenger a
Stacker upon or near the arrival into
Baxter. This term was so highly re-
sented by the passenger that a short
but effective fight ensued and both
parties made trip to the police sta
ton followed by quite crowd. Both
had friends in the crowd and quite q
number of them offered to 60 bond
for the participants in the scrap, but
they were able to take care Of 1t
themselves. It seems the. young man
called a Stacker has just completed
three years in the army and has in his
possession an honorable discharge.
Judging from his ability to handle
himself, quickly and fOrcefully, the
police force say he showed every in
dicatiOn of splendid PHYSICAL training.

The real test of patriotism is going
to show in this country from now on
as the tide of the battles turn. When
it appeared on the face Of the returns
early in the week that Germany
might have a chance to get the de-
cision, the fellow whose natural
sympathies are with the Kaiser, was
emboldened to assert himself, and II
the time ever does look like the Ger
n,cn hordes had q chance to win,
count on it that the German sympa-
thisers in this country, who have
bridled their tongues and their ac-
tons, because they have feared that
the Allies would eventually win, will
break loose and the loyal citizens at
home are going to then have their
chance to show the length they are
willing to go for their country. Here
is where the State Guards will come
in, and whether you have thought
seriously of this matter up to this
time or not, you can no longer view
lightly the condition that might exist
here if the pro-Germans ever get
enough encouragement from the bat
tie line to spur them on.-oswego In
