Railroads and Public Must Work
Together to Meet War S Demands

During the coming months American railroads
will face the greatest transportation problem IN their
history The demands have increased the rail-
roads burden virtually overnight by millions of to.s
of freight. Some conception Of this may be CLEANED
from the fact that the additional service demanded
this year is equivalent to carrying 100000 tons
of freight mile. Moreover frankly, the railroads
will have to handle it with inadequate facilities Cars
locomotives terminals all the other equipment, track
space-cannot be built overnight. During the war,

COUNTY SCHOOLS BUSY.
Visits Many Districts Looking
After Compliance with Vac

Protection of the children in
the public schools from smallpox
is being carefully watched after
by the county superintendent Of
schools, Mrs. Josephine Saxon,
who visited many sections last
week, seeing that the state vac
law as regards vaccina-
tion of public school pupils is en-
forced.
During the week Mrs. Saxon
visited the schools at Patagonia,
San Rafael, Parker Canyon, Du-
quesne, Mowry and Harshaw.
Where she found that the
county physicians were unable
to take care of the work pre-
scribed by the law, Mrs. Saxon
saw that other physicians were
secured who carried out the pro-
visions of the law.
Mrs. Saxon reports that the
spirit of obedience to the law is
very gratifying, and that there
has been no trouble in securing.
compliance with it's provisions.
In general, she says that the
conditions of the schools of the
county is excellent, and that the

Florence only to be arrested in
Nogales, Sonora, last Saturday
and sent south to Governor
Gales capital to be tried for

On January FL, a Saturday,
ISandoval secreted himself in the
Karam store on Morley avenue
and was locked in when the
store closed that evening. When
is. Karam entered the store Sun
day morning, Sandoval MADE a
murderous assault upon him
with a knife. Karam sidestep-

and knocked the knife from his
hand with a blow upon the arm
as his assailant passed him.
Sandoval darted out of the

At that time the Mexican au-

wanted for offenses south of the

BALL WAS A VERY
BRILLIANT
EVENT
HANDSOME COSTUMES
AT RED CROSS BENEFIT.
Attendance at the Dance at the
Santa Cruz Club Was
Record Breaker.

One of the most brilliant So
cial events held in Nogales for
q long time crowned the efforts
of the Santa Cruz club and those
in charge of the Red Cross bene-
fit dance, held at the quarters
Of the club Monday evening.
Nogales society turned out en-
masse to dance that the funds
for the relief of soldiers nd suf-
ferers of the war might be
swelled. While figures could
not be obtained last evening, the
total amount realized will be a
notable addition to the contribu-
tions of the Line City to the
work Of the Red Cross.
While costume was not en-
forced upon those vino attended,
the request that those who could
would dress to represent movie
characters was SO generally OBJ
served that the affair took on
practically all the appearance OF
a costume ball.
The list of those in costume
was too long to be reproduced
entire, but some of those that
were most noticeable, and at
tracted the greatest amount OF
attention we're:
Mrs. Sam. Leeker as Viola
Dana in "Blue Jeans"
Mrs. E. M. Mather as Alice
Howell.
Mrs. B. M. Ashby as Bessie
Love.
Mrs. F. M. Van Mourick as
Tillie, in "Tillie's Punctured Ro-
nance"
Miss Doris Gustetter as Dor
othy Gish.
Miss Josephine Ticcomb as a
Red Cross nurse.
Mr.. F. Van Mourick as Julian

MI. Harry Chenoweth as
Charlie Chaplin.
Mr.. H. p. McFa0den as can
Italian Brigand."
The arrangements were excel
lent, and the dance was most
successful in every way, and
was enjoyed thoroughly by all
who attended. Great credit is
due those who conceived and
carried out the plan.

The Tar River Rounder was distrib-
uted again through little boys on the
streets of Baxter Springs Saturday.
The "Rounder," the Oklahoma vice adj
vertisement, printed in Joplin, ought
to be discouraged here. If it isn't
good enough for Ottawa county, Okla,
it ought not be good enough for Cher
okee county, Kansas. Baxter Springs
doesn't let picture shows show on Sun
day and we frown upon good many
of the things that are prevalent in
both Missouri and Oklahoma neigh
boring towns. The youth Of the town
just "eat up" the Rounder just like
they do u printed vulgar story and
they are just like the youth since the
beginning of time. They would do
worse things if they were not protect
cd. The number of youthful auto
bile thieves who have been arrested
here this year is a good example OF
what bad literature and bad examples
are doing. However, none of the boys
and girls arrested to date have been
Baxter boys and girls-yet. 1t is a
common occurance to see little boys in
short trousers standing on the street
corners reading the Rounder. The eX-
cuse for publication is to show up vice
conditions in Ottawa county, sup
posedly permitted and abandoned by
the officials of the people. If that is
true the Rounder has no mission in
Baxter Springs and can do no good
here-it simply amounts to an adver-
tisement of vice and the printed word
has a far reaching effect upon the
minds of the young. Let one of the
church organizations of the town get
busy and stop this nuisance, if nobody
else is interested.
