WRAPPING ADDS TO THE GIFT
Home Art Specialist Suggests Use Of
White Ribbon and Tissue Paper
With Bits Of Foliage.

The wrapping Of a Christmas gift IL
IN expression Of the giver as much al
tho gift itself, asserts Miss Araminta
Holnbap, instructor IN home art in
the KaHAss State Agricultural col
lege.
"a pretty gnkwill lose much Of its
charm If it is wrapped carelessly,"
said Miss Holman. "As much care
should be taken in the wrapping as in
the selection Of the gift.
The wrappings should be dainty
and inconspicuous, and in harmony
with the gift and the sentiment that
the giver wishes to accompany the
Elf. White tissue paper tied with
white ribbon with a bit Of foliage for
color, makes a prettier and heater
wrapping than colored paper and col
ored ribbon. IF the gift is to be
sent through the mail, the outside
wrappings must necessarily be Of
strong paper, but If tied neatly and
securely with tinsel Christmas cord,
the package will make an attractive
appearance, and at the same time will
protect the gift"
Personal touches, such as original
sketches on the gift card or a spray of
foliage from the region Of the giver's
home convey q deep sentiment and
tboughtfulness on the part Of the
Hver, according to Miss Holman.
While holly and mistletoe r the en-
blematic Christmas foliage, a spray Of
hemlock, bittersweet, pepper bough,
OF any pretty native foliage may be
used.

Christmas Plulns

Christmas-co-operation, cheer!
It is q catching afair-thiS spirit
Of Christmas-and the nearer 1t ap-
breaches the more contagious it be-
comes.
Every time that Christmas comes
around again we wonder why we
haven't cultivated the Christmas
spirit all the year.
Here's hoping that all u soldier
boys, on land and sea, will have q
few Christmas plums on the day OF
good will-even though this year they
may be mostly in the pudding:
Probably the girls are saying the
same thing this year that they have
said every year in the past-"Wen,
Pm going to start making presents
right away for next Christmas"
We get most of the enjoyment of
Christmas out of the dreams that
come before and after. Oh, to dream
of it before it comes, to enjoy 1t
while it is here, and to appreciate 1t
when it has goneI
At least we are reasonably sure of
one thing-which is that no soldier
will have to go without a good Christ
mas dinner. Well, this is as it should
be, since-to paraphrase u old
friend. MI. Dryden-surely the brave
deserve the fare.
Not namin' any names, we are will
ling to admit that there are folks in
this world whose Christmas dinner
doesn't interest US in the least-ex-
cept that we hope they'll have plenty
of food for reflection, and that after
the meal is over they'll get their just
desserts.

ROAST GOOSE FOR CHRISTMAS
How to Prepare Fowl Which for Hun
L dreds OF Years Has Been conven-
tfonaI Holiday Dinner Dish.

: For hundreds of years goose has
been an important conventional Christ
mas dinner dish. Select a young, ten
der goose, for its palatability greatly
depends on this, one weighing about
eight or ten pounds, says an expert
enced housekeeper.
For the dressing take four cupfuls
of hot mashed potatoes, two and one
half tablespoonful Of finely chopped
onions, one cupful Of English walnut
meats chopped moderately fine; one
and one-half t~easpoonfuls Of salt, one
half cupful of cream, two tablespoon
fuls of butter and the yolks Of four
eggs and a teaspoonful of sage.
Stuff the body with the dressing and
sew up the openings. Bring the legs
and wings close to the body and tie
with a white string, which must be
removed just before serving.
Put the goose in the dripping pan
with two cupfuls Of boiling water and
roast for nearly two hours, according
to size Of fowl, basting often and free
". Remove the goose to a hot platter,
pour off the oil in the pan and make a
gravy with -four that has been Drowned.
Always serve apple sauce with roast
goose.
Select juicy, tart apples and pare,
slice and stew with just enough water
10 keep from burning. When done, rub
them through a sieve and add sugar to
taste.

COLDEsT IN 80 YEARS

The cold spell of last week which
reached its greatest intensity Friday
night was the coolest this section Of
Kansas had experienced in 10 years
The thermometer registered as low
as 20 below zero. Fortunately there
was little suffering here due to the
fact that the gas company had very
recently completed the connection OF
this city with its new 6 inch main
running from Riverton, which produc-
ed plenty of gas except in a few in
dividual cases where service pipes
were clogged or too small. In num-
Der of places the frost penetrated the
ground so far that the water pipes
were frozen, and likely it will be some
time before they are thawed out.
Extremely low temperature covered
the entire country east of the Rocky
mountains and is right now centering
on the new England states. Snow
was reported as far south Os Browns
vile, Tex, where it had not been for
80 years. In Florida much damage to
fruit and winter vegetables resulted
from the freeze.

GETS CAR THIEF
AFTER MANY Weeks
Man Who Stole George StOs-
kOpf's Ford Is Now in Gus
tOdy of Sheriff Of This
County

Dan Miller of Temple, Cotton coun-
ty, Okla, was arrested at that place
and brought here by Constable Turner
last night. Miller is charged with
stealing the G. v. Stoskopf Ford in
October, 1917.
Before Justice John Jones this
morning Miller waived preliminary
examination and said that he would
plead guilty in the district court. He
was taken to the county Jail at Colum-
bus early this afternoon to await his
trial which is to come up next week.
At the time Eugene Turner arrived
at Temple, Okla, with warrant and
placed Miller under arrest he (Miller)
possessed an automobile. Later he
confessed of stealing it from someone
in Oklahoma. This makes the second
theft charge against Miller.
After the Stoskopf car was stolen
last year Miller broke down some
where. down the line and sold it to q
farmer. Later it was found and re-
covered.

TAKING LIBERTY LOAN
BONDS IN TRADE

"I hope that the merchants Of the
country, upon q more careful consid-
Grafton of the subject, will discontinue
their efforts to sell merchandise and
take Liberty Loan Bonds in pay
ment," said Secretary McAdoo.
The Secretary states that he has no
doubt that merchants offering to take
Liberty Loan Bonds in exchange for
merchandise are actuated by patriotic
motives, but that such transactions
tend to defeat primary object Of the
bond sales, as they discourage thrift
and increase expenditures. Bonds so
taken in exchange in most cases are
Immediately sold in the open market,
which tends to suppress the market
price and adversely affects sales Of
future issues.
The strongest efforts are made by
the Treasury Department to have
these Government bonds purchased
for permanent investment by the peO-
pie and paid for out of savings, thus
not only providing funds for the Gov
ernment but sffecting conservation Of
labor and material; exchanging them
for merchandise therefore oereats this
purpose.

ORE OUTPUT
Slight Rise in Prices Produces
Another Big Weeks Sales,
Despite the Cold
Weather

The sales of ore from the Okla
homa-Kansas mining district for the
week ending January 12 totalled
slightly more than $SO3,OOO, this BE-
ing a coincidence from the fact that
last weeks sales totaled only $1,000
more. Sales of zinc blende were less
than those of the week previous, but
sales of lead ore were decidedly bet
ter.
The price of lead jumped FIVE dol
lars above the sales reported the
week previous, although this price
was established Saturday, January s,
Accordingly all sales for the week
were strong at that figure.
The highest price paid for zinc
blende was again at $57 and the low
est price was $3.50, but more saIes
were made above the lower mark
than were shown the previous week
and the average price is accordingly
at $50, this being So above the es-
timated average of the first week in
January.

20 to 100 feet. Samples from the
different holes have run from to
so per cent with an average Of fully
16 per cent metallic content, running

Desires Certain Section Of Street

Paving

"If the city of Baxter Springs
should grant the right Of way be-
tween South and Wyandotte streets
on the west side of the Frisco rail.
road tracks TO the Mineral Belt Rail-
way that company then will have Sc
cured all the right of way from Hook
erville to Baxter Springs" This was
the statement made by representa-
tive Of the Frisco railroad company
before the city council last night.
The grading gang is already on
the ground and as soon as the piece
of ground can be obtained they will
start work. The Mineral Belt is COM
ing to the Frisco tracks q quarter Of
q mile south Of the present camp for
the worlmen. From there it will run
parallel with the Frisco tracks up to
the present Frisco station. This,
however, appears to be only tempo
rary arrangement, but what is in the
mind of the Mineral Belt is not yet
definitely known. For some time past
they have been trying to secure q
station site up town. How far they
have been successful with their ef-
forts is not known.
Another resolution passed by the
city council extending the paving on
River street. The new resolution
calls for paving from the center OF
the East street to the west line Of
Fairview Ave.
Ordinance 1872 was passed which
appropriated $523.75 to pay the bills
against the city.
The report of the paving committee
was received and placed on file for
future consideration" Owing to
some difficulties that have arisen be-
tween some parties and paving peo-
pie, which is being thoroughly inves-
tigated, this action was thought the
proper thing by the Mayor.
A complaint by the Baxter Whole
sale Grocery company against the
M. o. g. G. railroad company to the
effect that they had excavated seven
ty-five feet of the ground owned by
the wholesale people was referred to
the Street and Alley Committee. The
meeting was then adjourned until
next Tuesday evening.

WOMEN ORGANIZE
FOR YEARS ACTIVITY
Old Federated Club Is Disband-
ed and Auxiliary to Cham
Der Of Commerce Takes
Its Place

A women's auxiliary Of the Baxter
Springs Chamber Of Commerce was
organized yesterday afternoon at the
Chamber Of Commerce headquarters
as a. successor to the Womenb Fed
Grated club of Baxter Springs by q
unamious vote Of all those present
at its first meeting Of the year. This
came after the disorganization Of the
Federated clubs.
In order to afford q full chance to
every woman to exercise her in
fluence for the welfare of the city
and meet the growing need of wild
er scope Of the faminine influence in
civic matters the change was felt alb
solutely necessary.
The Federated club was made up
of other clubs and as soon as club
was disorganized its members were
automatically dropped from the Fed
Grated clubs. This happened when
the Civic improvement club and the
Q. It's. were disorganized. The men,
bers of the two clubs were no longer
eligable to membership in the Fed
Grated clubs.
The Federated clubs realized that
some change must come in order to
utilize the influence Of other women
outside of the organization. After
lengthy discussion the change was
voted unanimously. Now every wo-
man in Baxter Springs has a chance
to be affiliated with the new Organi-
zation. The membership fee is to re-
main one dollar.
The meeting of the women was ad-
dressed by President A. L. Harvey,
who pointed out clearly the part the
women Of the city can take in organ
izing themselves as an auxiliary to
the Chamber Of Commerce. He said
that the women had the best chance
to enlarge their scope by such a move
ment and that the advanced step
would mean untold good for the city.
Officers for the new organization
were elcted as follows:
President-Mrs. Walter Apple.
Vice-President-Mrs. Ed POlster.
Secretary-Mrs. Merton GOodeagle
Treasurer-Mrs. A. R. Kane.
Before disbanding the Federated
clubs q $50 surplus in the treasury OF
the old organization was voted to be
turned into the new. The new organ
ization will meet in the Chamber OF
Commerce headquarters next Tues
day afternoon at $3.50. Every woman
of Baxter Springs, who has any civ
ic pride, is asked to be present.
