vide for Baxter Springs, school syE-
TEN than which there is no better in
the state of Kansas; system that
will obviate the need of sending Bax-
ter boys and girls away from home
to complete their high school educa-
ton. 1t is the purpose of the board
as soon as possible after the complet-
ion Of the new building TO establish
manual training, domestic science and
commercial departments in the high
school, teaching bookkeeping, short
hand and typewriting, so as to en-
courage the boys and girls to prepare
themselves for business life.
None of this can be taken care OF
now because of the lack of room;
neither can the high school have the
laboratories and equipment for prop,
erly teaching chemistry and other sub
iects in which demonstrations are nee
essary.
No serious opposition to the isSu'
ance of the bonds is expected. All ara
anxious to see good schools, unless
perchance there are a few people
without children and who are so sell
fish that they do not want the child
rem of their neighbors given a chance
for good education because it might
increase their taxes a little.

MERCHANTS GET A CALLING
June 4th, 1918.

June 4th, 1918.
Editor Citizen,
Dear Sir:-The undersigned heart
ly agrees with the purpose and spir-
I of your articles relative to the pro-
Joplin situation regarding spending
money in that town for goods which
,an be bought just as cheap, etc. here
n Baxter Springs.
There is, however, another side to
he question which needs airing fully
as much as the side you print. Name
iv. the merchants who do business IN
Baxter Springs, and live in Joplin
Ialena, Pittsburg and no doubt other
towns. Why should Baxter Springs
people spend their money with these
merchants, who in turn do not spend
much of their money in Baxter
Springs? For instance, the merchant
who keeps his family In Joplin, Ga
lena or Pittsburg, buys his groceries
and dry goods in those places Also
his amusements and other items
which make up the average household
If Baxter Springs il q good enough
place for them to do business In II
ought to be q good enough place Tor
them to live in. And If their families
.o4 o0d,,ra the alight diBadvant-
ages which hundreds of other families
are enduring, such as shortage or
sewerage and water, then let them
make their living in the towns where
they live. Why expect Baxter people
to spend money with merchants VINO
in turn take that money and spend 1t
themselves in other towns?
Signed. Cephas.
To which we add "Amen," Cephas'

PEACE

Germany" according to General Lud-

That's about the way Of it, General
Peace for Germany is not to be had
with intriguing and the spending OF
vast sums of money. That sort Of 9
peace may go in Russia and in ROu-
mania, but only by force of arms and
by a struggle, the destruction and
duration of which win stagger human
ity may Germany obtain peace from
the Allies. And peace BY force %

arms the Allies have a Heaven-regis-
tered vow the Germans shall not have,
though every drop Of blood and every
dollar Of savings must be thrown in
to the balance. Tremendous and
long continuing sacrifices the Allies
may be called upon to make that their
vows shall ultimately be redeemed,
but redeemed they will be, and peace,
Germany, in common with the other
combatants, will have, but It will be
such peace as the Allies decree, not q
peace made in Berlin and dictated by
the master who precipitated this aw-
full war, the most unjustihable rs well
as the brutal in all history.

Sary Bonds

VanDusen, O. N. Lynch and A. H.
Pfremmer and Superintendent Rhine
of the Baxter schools, were in Column
bus, Tuesday morning in consultation
with State Superintendent Ross rela-
tive to matter pertaining to the pro-
posed new high school building.
The petition, signed by majority
of the voters of Baxter Springs pray
ing for permission to increase the
amount of the bond issue was present
ed to Mr.. Ross. AS soon as nc

l.day. he will call a meeting OF the
State School funds commission u
pass on the petition. Mr.. Ross stat
ed that he would recommend that th'
uetition be granted and in all prob
ability the Baxter Board will get adj
vice before Saturday to that effect II
that event bond election will be call
ed forthwith, to take place in tel
DAYS. The voters of the district VII
be called upon to decide whether TN
district shall issue bonds in the am
cunt of $4,000 for the erection o.
the new high school building.
The building proposed is OF goo'
proportions and modern, intended 10
the present to take care Of the need
of the district in the way OF grad
rooms and high school for the present
and eventually when the city become
larger it is intended that the build
inc shall be used for high school pur
noses altogether. The Citizen hope
Tomorrow to be able to give full de
