TOWN LOTS IN NEEDS
NOW ON THE MARKET

T. H. Needs, the owner, has also
become the selling agent for the new
townsite of Needs, located on his farm
six miles west of Baxter. The town
site was plated and was to have been
put on sale by Winters & Belts, OF

turned the townsite lease back to Mr..
Needs, who will now handle it him.

He will lease the lots without bonus
at $1.00 per month. Needs lies close
to the Naylor, Cooper and several
other proven mines, on which several
mills have already been built. Many
say it is one of the best locations for
town in the district and affords
many opportunities for the man who
wants home near the mines or who
wants to go into business. Mr.. Needs
has an advertisement in this paper
telling more about the new town.

CITY TREASURER HAS
SOME JOB NOW

City Treasurer ]. w. Cook Is just
about the busiest man in the city,
since the sewer construction work fell
upon the city. He is especially rush
ed on Saturday afternoons when the
men are paid off. Last Saturday Mr..
Cook paid off about 140 men and the
total amount paid out was in excess
Of $1,000. For the convenience Of the
men as we'll as to offer every oppor-
tunity for the workmen to spend their
earnings in Baxter, Mr.. Cook pays
every man the actual cash instead Of
issuing city checks. This greatly
pleases the men, and many SO ex-
press themselves when they receive
their money. This plan adds consider
able to the duties Of the treasurer but
Mr.. Cook Is always ready to do what
he can for the good Of the town. Last
Saturday he was unable to do any
thing whatever in waiting on his own
grocery trade, so completely was he
occupied in counting out the cash for
the men. And all this work he per-
forms for the city for the sum Of
$500 q year, a salary established
years ago when the city treasurer in
Baxter did hardly as much work in q
year as he is compelled to do now
every week.

PROPER USE OF THE
SERVICE FLAG
Emblem InnOcently Misused by Many
Who Are Ignorant Of Gov
erning Rules

Following are the conditions which
a service flag may be properly dis
played:
(a) When flown from q home q
husband, son, father, or brother may
properly be represented on service
flag, even though he did not actually
leave from that household directly to
go into the service, but in case Of any
more distant relative they should act
ually be members of the household
where the flag is displayed and have
left for the service directly from such
household. Domestic employees,
roomers or boarders should not be re-
presented.
(b) When flown by a club or 9TH
er society only those who are actually
members, active or honorary, of such
club or society should be represented.
Stars should not be placed thereon for
husbands, sons, fathers or brothers, or
other relative of members merely be-
cause of such relationship.
(c) When flown by a business con-
cern it should represent only members
of the firm and employees going di-
rectly to the service from such place
of business, with some continuous re-
lation existing and where there is an
expectation of return to the employ
ment. Since the stars should repre-
sent only those who are an integral
part of the business or organization
which flies the flag, the service flag
of building should not contain stars
to represent tenants who have gone
into the service from such building
any more than the service flag OF a
mercantile concern should represent
its customers, or a professional con-
cern its clients, or of q hotel its
guests.
Schools and Colleges
(a) Schools and colleges may
properly represent trustees, members
of the faculty, graduates and under
graduates.
(b) Organization flags, there is
some sentiment in favor of distin-
gushing flags representing members
Of a family from those representing
members of organizations by limit
ing the individual stars to the family
flags, the organization to use q single
star with q numeral to indicate the
number who have gone and to repre-
sent individually by silver and gold
stars, only those who are invalided,
wounded, or killed. This would enable
anyone clearly to determine in
any doubtful case whether the per-
sons represented are members Of the
family or employees, and in cases
where there are a large number would
show more distinctly how many have
gone from such organizations.

AS THOU HAS TAUGHT THE BEE
By ]. M. Smither


Father,
As thou hast taught the bee,
Teach me,
Thy hidden need to find,
And straight,
To store it in the hive,
To wait,
Till need shall call it forth,
To aid
The common brotherhood,
And draw,
A closer, common bond,
On earth.
Let men their creeds combine,
And fruit,
That's in them to be found,
Give forth
To help the languished world,
Nor ask
The hungered, waiting throng,
To take
The stem, or pricking thorn,
But just,
The fruit, the common need,
Wherein
Is rest, and drink, and feed.
Father,
AS thou hast taught the bee,
Teach me
Thy hidden need to find,
And free
My chained and clustered mind.
