Local Hotel Bans Wheat.

On the tenth Of the month large
number of the larger hotels of the
state went on a wheatless basis, in
response to request of the national
hotelmens association. The Noun
tain Home hotel abandoned the use
of wheat nearly a week before the
time set, and according to Manager
Halvorsen, the change is most sue
cessful and will be adhered to until
the new crop is harvestd. The hotel
is using barley -four and oat meal as
substitutes, and these ingredients
work well even in pastry.

PATRIOTISM and
GOOD PAY COMBINE
Government Offers Big
Wages for Wood Ship
Calkers. If Any in Ell
more County Here is
Opportunity

In order to speed up the ship
building program, there must be
found at once large number Of
wood ship calkers, and O. G. F.
Markus, public service director for
Idaho, has sent out a call to the
local public service of the state for
skilled men. Following is the notice
in part as received by John Jayne,
who is in charge of the work in this
county:
''The Department at Washington
has sent out a special call for Wood
Ship Calkers," and is urging that
we give this as much publicity as
possible.
only experienced calkers are
wanted. but even though this is an
Inland State, it is entirely probable
that we can locate few shipwrights
and other ex-shipyard workers who
have done ealking and who would
be willing to volunteer their service
in the emergency. The pay for
woodslfp calkers is $770 per eight
hour day, with double pay for all
overtime
"You will please give this matter
publicity at once in your county
papers and promptly ontify this
Office of any one whom you may be
able to locate"

POISON FOR FARM
PESTS CAN AGAIN
BE PROCURED

County Agent Alexander has a new
supply of squirrel poison which he
announces that he will mix as needed
and furnish to those farmers wishing
it at the cost of the material. The
poison formula used was worked out
by government chemists and has been
remarkably successful. The depart
ment of agriculture has a fund for
poisoning squirrels on government
land in the vicinity of farms and
Mr., Alexander hopes to induce the
department to devote a part of the
appropriation to the upper part of
this county.

Road to Happiness.

Be amiables cheerful and good ma
tured and you are much more likely
to be happy. You will find this
difficult, II not impossible however,
when you are constantly troubled
with constipation. Take Chamber

it will be easy. These tablets not only
move the bowels, but improve the
appetite and strengthen the diges-
tion.

1t is with pleasure that Baxter
Springs people learn that the Good
eagle refinery has been leased to part
les who will increase the capacity OF
the plant from 400 barrels of oil per
day to from 1000 to 1900 barrels per
day and begin immediate operation.
Garland Biffle, attorney for the
company, leased the refinery to Mat
tes Brothers, of Joplin, last Friday.
The lease took effect on that day. The
lease contract calls for an increase in
the capacity of the plant to 1000 bar
rells per day by the 18th Of January.
The new company say they will prob
ably refine much more oil than the
contract calls for which is a minimum.
Mates brothers have their own oil
production and will make the plant
orc Of the first refneries in this sec
ton of the United States. They have
already begun work and Mr.. Biffle is
confident that the past sad history OF
the refinery is over. Mr.. Biffle has
every confidence in the Mates Broth
ers.
Most Baxter people are familiar
with the checkered course of the
Goodeagle refinery proposition. The

original company never operated. It
passed into the hands Of the receiver
with Mr.. Biffle as attorney right at
the outset. Mr.. Biffle then sold the
plant to j. w. Hogue, of Kansas City,
of the Refners' Petroleum Company.
In this deal s55,000 was paid down
and larger amount was to be paid
within n short time. In the mean
time Mr.. Hogue's company passed in
to the hands Of the receivers and Mr..
Bifflc gladly took back the refinery
and paid the S55,OO0 on the debts of
the company, which left things in
pretty good shape. Following this the
plant was leased to Smith & Sheer, Of
Kentucky, of which Vale Smith was
the acting representative. This COM
pany made some improvement in the
plant, but their expectations did not
pan out and they allowed their con-
tract to become null. During the sew
erql changes the refinery property
has steadily increased in value by
reason of the improvements left by
each company that have leased OF
bought. MIR. Biffle is to be compli-
mented on his competent management
of the company in steering it safely
through devious courses.

More men are inlured by having
things made too easy for them than
by having their pathway beset with
difficulties. They get to depending
upon the parigorics and soothing
syrups Of life until they become
dWarft, physically, mentally, socially
and morally. They should know
that if they are to .aake their mark
in life, it depends upon the amount
OF good, clean, manly iron in their
blood. Christianity is the religion
OF heroism, as opposed to the creeds
OF expediency and prudence. 1t is
iron in a mans blood, infinitly more
than in his hand or on his person,
that decides his value lin human
society.
