II appears there has been n 'leak'
in the water procedure in Baxter
Springs. 1t is said the city council
are devoting some time, that is valu-
able to them, TO work out a solution
from which plenty Of pure water for
Baxter Springs can be exacted. In
fact, relief IL almost In sight, but q
is taking some diligent work and the
administration Is exacting a deal Of
unpaid labor from themselves, to re-
lieve q situation that is fairly shrek
ing to be relieved. 1t is too much for
the city council to take week of to
look after the city interests, but 1t is
the only way out under the present
system. However, no amount Of work
or personal sacrifice on the part Of
the city council can undo what has
been done or do what has been left
undone.

SOLDIER LETTER

Dear Folks:-lt is true that we
don't have much time to ourselves,
but there is occasionally time when
a fellow will pull his mothers picture
out Of his pocket and look at that dear
old face and wonder if you will ever
get to see it again, and then you think
OF the distance between you and her,
and then it may be an American girl,
real girl that any man would be
proud Of and about the time one is in
he deepest Of his dreams, a loud
crash and then a whistle. That is
enough to tell you that the dutch are
thronging over u few grave diggers.
And then we hear loud roar, and
we know that our batteries have open
ed up on the Dutch, and the result Is
that we are called out in the next few
minutes to take up some more am
munition. All We see then for the
next few hours, is just fire and shells
bursting. Oh, 1t is q great life if you
don't weaken.

It happened about three night ago.
We were all in bed, and the call came
Tor more ammunition to the front at
once. (You see we are camped lit
tie distance behind the lines.) We
were all called out and loaded our
trucks with 6-inch shells, and started
for the batteries. Everything went
along fine until we got up to the bat
teries, and then they started firing,
and of course the Dutch returned
few shells, and say, didn't know the
big guns could fire so fast. Why,
hose darned Yankees just poured the
hot iron to those Dutch for about five
hours without stopping; and one OF
the lookout boys said to me, We are
