GETTING EXASPERATED

The City Council after many dis
,ussions have arrived at the conclus-
on that the only way to get the side
walks built in Baxter Springs is to
aave the city build them. The old
.ouncil made the mistake Of deliv-
ring their side walk ultimatums too
udefnitely. One read: "Within a
reasonable time" when il ought to
have specified n day and hour and
PENALTIES applied indiscriminate OF
persons. II all reminds us Of a little
lccurrance up ut Columbus one time
Doctor ]. w. James, one of the most
,rominent characters in Cherokee
ounty and n candidate for governor
IN the Republican ticket a few years
,go, was appointed health officer by
he mayor. doc" was "long" on san
tary measures anyway and one OF
he provisions in the city health or
finances had to do with the cutting
of the grass on the various lots. "Doc"
tarted right in to enforce all laws
md one of the first fellows in town
hat he had arrested was himself
irass and weeds had grown up riot
,usly in Docs yard and he had neg
ected it. He got q friend to swear
nut a warrant for him and paid the
.osts and for the cleaning up Of his
,wn property. The longer the side
walks are delayed the longer we wait
or free postal delivery, and inasmuch
IS the sidewalks have to be built
anyhow, they might as we'll be built
now.

more mention to these meetings, al
though several news items relative
to the meetings have been printed

fast that we occasionally have tc

With our present limitations we have
to discriminate pretty carefully be-
tween news and matter printed sole

many columns to the Red Cross, th'

news value, and are not intended tc

from the booster" reading to make
the paper as bright and attractive as
possible. Some days there is moi
enough news and the contributions
come in handy, but more often ad'

out to make place for something SC
meritable that it simply can't be turn
ed down. We are strong for the
churches-all of them, and when
there is any real excuse for mention
we want ii give it. We want to treat
all alike. We also appreciate that
the Christian church has q hard jot
on its hands in tagging a reviva
meeting at this time of unprecedent'
ed activity in the town, when every
man is called upon to devote much Of
his time to public movements. We
will gladly devote all the space pos

The making of the Baxter Springs
Service flag, undertaken some time

A NARROW ESCAPE

If the report coming from Picher
is, entirely correct, which we presume
it is, relative to the finding Of nitro
glycerine and other explosive and nj
hilistic paraphenalia and deep and
nefarious plot to destroy the indus
tries of this section Of the country, it
is very fortunate it was nipped in
time. 1t is very fortunate also that
the brains back of the scheme were
not equal to the intentions of the
plotters. It upsets the feeling Of
safety we feel in old and settled COM
munities like Baxter Springs and will
be a great stimulant to future vigi-
lance. When so crude plot as this
can progress to a point where every
thing is on the ground and lives and
millions of dollars worth of property
are endangered, what might a little
higher class of intelligence be able
to do? This is time when there is
SO much big news that the proper
significance of q thing Of this char
acter is apt to be lost on most OF US.
This is q terrible thing, right at home
as it were. Is it any compliment to
any community that Uncle Sam has
to unearth these things at long dis
tance expense? Every community
ought to be organized and every
shred of disloyalty or sedition pur-
sued to the ragged end. Public safe
ty demands il. We spoke Of old and
settled communities but as matter of
fact the district just south and west
of us is mott Is a very fertile field
for Just what has been uncovered.
Our big industries offer a splendid
mark for the unscrupulous Huns in
our midst. The danger is not so
great from people that are sentiment
ally pro-GerInan as it is for native
anarchists who are facile and cheap
instruments in the hands Of real Ger
man agents, who are necessarily few
IN number. In fact the bungling man.

IT'S YOUR BOY NOW
Request Of
Baxter Executive Committee

The one hundred million dol
lars collected last June has
melted away. Every dollar con-
tributed for relief and approx
imately two cents more has
been spent for relief. The mon
ey has been spent wisely and
well. Perhaps 1t would be
nearer the truth to say that
your one hundred million dol
lars has been invested, invest
ed in comfort and courage. For
over and above all Of the min
istration, rehabilitation and
succor carried on in the name
of the Red Cross, the effect Of
your generosity on the morale
Of our own men and the men
of our hard pressed Allies has
been incalculable. Over thirty
million dollars has been spent
in France alone. Large sums
have been used for aiding
stricken Belgium, Italy and
Roumania and millions have
been expended for the comfort
and health of the men in our
own camps and on our own
ships. The stream of bandages
and surgical dressings repre-
senting the devotion of so many
patriotic and tender hearted
women has gone to bind the
wounds and soothe the agony
Of English, French, Belgian and
Italian men. Our own boys are
now in the thick Of the fight
and our responsibility strikes
nearer home. When the casu-
, atty lists begin to come in, the
grimmest facts of this war will
BE realized in many a sadden-
ed American home. We have
not suffered yet. The coming
year will be sure to bring its
toll of sorrow. Our duty to-
ward our Allies remains i'm
perative. Our gratitude to them
can never be cancelled, but we
must take up the additional
burden of caring for our own.
During the week of May goth
to 9th the War Council will
ask the people of America for
q second fund of one hundred
million dollars. The response
from every city, town, village
and hamlet throughout the
country will be prompt and un-
animous. The money must and
will be raised.

Jack Spain, superintendent Of the
Bethlehem mine at Quapaw, receiv-
ed u newspaper from Oklahoma City
Monday which recalls near tragedy
Of the days when he was sheriff Of
Oklahoma county. The paper chroni-
cles the account Of the electrocution
Of John Henry Prather, negro, who
killed cellmate after serving six
years of life sentence for killing W.
H. Archie, an Oklahoma City plumb
er, in 1911. At the top Of the page
is q photo copy of an invitation is
sued by Sheriff Jack Spain to attend
the handing of the negro for the first
crime. II is bordered in black and
brings Mr.. Spain back to the time
when he stood before a human being
and read a sentence of death, which,
the former sheriff says is an awful
thing to do. Mr.. Spain had the negro
dressed for the hanging, read the
warrant to him and started for the
scaffold, when he was interrupted BY
messager from the governor whip
had commuted the sentence to life
Imprisonment and then was compelled
to protect the negro from the mob
that would have taken the law inyo
their own hands. The ex-sheriff IS
now full fledged mine operator, M
having been one of the main promot-l
,rs of the Bethlehem Zinc company

through cutting timber on the gov
ernment forest reserve the claims
were forfeited. Jesse B. Calvert,
president of the Mineral Belt Invest
ment company, and his son, Charles
f. Calvert, field manager, filed claims
on the greater part of the acreage
now belonging to the firm in 1910
and the mines were operated under
lease in 1917 to some extent. 1t Is
the belief of the men who are ac-
ouainted with the situation that the
Germans who tried to hold the land
were agents of the German govern
ment, as they were all aliens and
questioned the right of the Calverts
twenty years after their failure to
hold the land. Manganese is used IN
almost everything in the way OF war
equipment and as the greatest Of all
mines was located in Austria and as
we received nearly all our supply
from there before the war, the price
of metal has been hiked to an enor-
nous figure, $40 to $50 as it comes
from the ground, and $3.50 for the

Manager Tindale is building a
large airdOme just south of the bus
mess section of town on Military st.
A fine large stage is almost complet-
ed and a few more days the place
will be open for business. While not
entirely certain about his arrange
ments for talent it is certain to be
good. The management expects to
pull business from all the mining
camps southwest of here and give the
town some good shows. 1t is some
thing very much needed here. Some
place to go in the open air Of the
summer evenings. 1t will save many
dollars in Joplin car fare and if it
comes anywhere near expectations it
will outclass the Joplin shows, any
saow, the shows in the latter place
having been on the decline for many
months. The Elite management
should be encouraged, if they deliver
the goods, as we have faith they will.

not want his name mentioned tells

his good money. He wanted house
Ind wanted it badly-he was moving
his family here on chances Of getting
some place to live. AS he went to
work he had noticed fine six-room,
new house. He considered it great
good luck when the owner came along
and wanted to rent it to him for the
SIS. He was so afraid some one else
would beat him to it that he paid the
first months rent on the spot with
out going to see the inside Of the
house. When he went to move in the
owner told him there was no gas or
electric light fixtures, no water and
no sewer conveniences, but he volun-
teered to pay half if the renter would
pay the other half to have some of
the fixtures installed. However, our
business man located another house
and figures he donated the SIS to
charity.
