Gated .at the 2O0-foot level. The dirt

been drilled out for modern concen-

EQUALIZING SEWER
ASSESSMENTS

The City Council met Fri. night as
an Equalization board to hear COM
plants concerning the assessments OF
the property in the lateral sewer dis
trict of the city which was created re-
Gently.
Recently a committee was appoint
ed by the mayor to appraise all prop
erty in the lateral sewer district as a
basis for assessment to be levied for
payment of lateral sewers.
D. L. Hooker appeared before the
board and complained that his prop
erty in the Mann's subdivision was're-
corded five and half feet short. On
motion the council reduced the ap-
praisai 800, which left the value Of the
property at $4O10.
o. N. Baldwin was the next man to
appear and claim that lot No. z, in the
block 32 of the old plat was over val
ued, for the reason that the said lot
lies partly in the creek bed. The val
ue of the different lots, owned by Mr..
Baldwin, was shifted which increased
the assessed value on Mr.. Baldwin's
lots to fifty dollars.
Then the council adjourned until
Tuesday evening.

THERE IS NOTHING THE
MATTER WITH KANSAS

From Springfield, Mass, kepuDlican'
The matter with Kansas, as set
forth by its "war governor" Arthur
Capper, is now in exactly the same
class as the snakes in Ireland. Great
changes have clearly come to pass
since another eminent Kansan pro-
nounced the famous question. The
governors "report Of years busi-
ness" is too long for comprehensive
quotation, but these items Of Kansas
leadership stands OUT
Led the procession of states in vol
unteering for service in the army and
navy.
Ninety-four per cent of the people
have signed the pledge Of the food ad'
ministration.
Has fewer slackers than any other
state in the Union.
Percentage Of reflections for physi-
cal disabilities smaller among Kansas
troops than those Of any other state.
Registered more women in the
Hoover food pledge per capita than
any other state.
First state to proclaim a Liberty
day.
Foremost in demanding clean army
camps.
First to organize a food production
drive.
Has double the fall wheat acreage
of any other state.
Has led in the drive against profit
eers and price-gougers.
Sale or use Of liquor undoubtedly
less than in any like area since the
beginning Of history.
Has no town drunkards. "They have
disappeared along with the dinosaur
and the buffalo.
Leads the world in the production
of lead and zinc.
Freer from labor trouble than any
other state.
OF one Of the most interesting Of
Kansas enterprises Governor Capper
has only this to say: "other states
are watching with deep interest the
work Of our new state board of ad-
ministration and the state manager.
We are the pioneers in that method
of conducting state institutions. So
far the plan has worked admirably. l
feel confident it will prove an un-
doubted success and that it will be
only q matter Of a few years until
most of the other states will copy the
Kansas state manager plan"
The cheering thing for the rest Of
the country is not SO much the evil
dence Of Kansas pre-eminence in
important activities, little as that is
begrudged, as in the high probability
that the state il fairly representative
Of the great mass Of the American
people In patriotic devotion to the
country and in determination that
nothing shall be left undOne of neces-
sary activity and sacrifice that IT'S

ANOTHER miami
PIPE DREAM
Southwest Missouri Electric
Railway Has No Plans for
Extension of Line to
That City

In its Friday edition The Miami
Daily Record Herald has q story
about the Southwest Missouri Elec-
trio Railway. It makes out that the
Rogers road is headed for Miamii
that the road already started from
Baxter to Picher would be carried
around through Tarr River, Douthat
Quapaw and other mining centers and
thence into Miami.
Should the Rogers people ever de-
eide to carry out such q plan it would
be fine thing for Miami, but the
Daily Citizen happens to be in q po-
sition to know that the Southwest
Missouri company at the present time
has no idea of building the road any
further south than Picher; and as fal
as having made any arrangements
with the o. X. & NJ. railroad, there is
nothing to it. The weather has re-
tarded construction work to q great
extent or cars would be operating be-
tween here and Joplin today and
large part Of the work on the road
bed to Picher would be ready. The
line to Picher will be rushed to COM
pletion as soon as weather conditions
improve.
The Record-Herald story follows:
That there is more to the rumors
that the Southwest Missouri Electric
company, generally known aS the
Rogers road, is coming to Miami, ks
more than mere rumor is shown by
recent developments. But just when
and how the Rogers road will get into
Miami is a matter known only to the
officers Of the road.
at is q safe wager that the Rogers
road will be operating into Miami
within six months" said one who US
ually knows what he is talking about.
~ don't know how they are coming,
but the officers Of. this road realize
there is o world Of business in Miami
for them when they get in here.
Probably Their Own Tracks
It is probable, according to this
same source of information, that the
Rogers road will come into Miami
over its own tracks. Negotiations
have been pending for some time
with the o. K. & N. for the use Of
that roads tracks, but even If this
deal should 60 through it would be
only q temporary arrangement, as the
business would soon develop to pro-
portions that would require, If not q
separate line, the double tracking Of
the o. X. & N. to Picher.

BAXTER SUPPLY COMPANY
ESTABLISH ENT
CHANGES HANDS
STOCKS TO Be SEPARATED
Grocery Business Goes to Ar.
kansas Merchant While Dry
Goods Department Goes
to Webb City Man

Monday, J. o. Treece, proprietor Of
the Baxter Supply Company store,
located next to the postoffice, sold his
entire business. The grocery stock
was sold to M. B. Rich, of Sloan
Springs, Ark. Mr.. Rich is here with
his daughter, Miss Julia, and an in
ventory of the stock is being taken.
The new owner is experienced in the
grocery line and q wide awake busi-
ness man who is coming to Baxter to
become identified in q large way in
the development of the city. He will
continue the business for q while in
the present location.
The dry goods stock of the Baxter
Supply company was sold by Mr..
Treece to E. E. Wood, proprietor of
the Woods department stores, one Of
which is the leading store of Webb
City. Mr.. Wood is also here attend
ing to the inventory of the stock. To
a reporter of the Daily Citizen, he
stated this morning that it was his
plan to start at once to remodel and
refinish the interior, throwing the en-.
tire rs feet open and install modern
show windows. AS soon as the
changes have been made he will bring
in stock of dry goods and ready-to-
wear stock for ladies, and clothing
and furnishings for men. When fully
stocked, as he hopes to have it early
next month, Mr.. Wood says, Baxter
will have a store that will not be sec
ond to any in the country in point Of
completeA ess. He proposed TO carry
a class Of merchandise that will sup
ply all tastes and make it unneces.
sary for people to go out of town to
do their shopping, but rather make it
to the advantage of people elsewhere
to come to Baxter.
Mr.. Wood is president of the Com
mercial Club of Webb City. About
the first thing he did was to send in
his application for a membership in
the Baxter Springs Chamber of Com.
merce. He proposes that his estab
lishment shall always be found in the
front rank of every movement for the
social and industrial betterment Of
Baxter Springs.
Mr.. Treece, who with his sons, Lee
o. and Ted, have conducted a general
merchandise business here for the
past five years, is retiring partly in
order to devote more time to outside
interests and partly because he de-
sires relief from the extra burden
placed upon him by reason of the en-
listment of his son, Ted, who was
manager of the Baxter business. He
will leave not Baxter, but instead
perhaps become more deeply interest
ed than heretofore in the upbuilding
of Baxter.
