NOT so YELLOW, MAYBE

A little recent assessment story as
told on the street corners may be
likened to the boy and the yellow dog.
II is said that the assessor went to an
owner of Baxter real estate and asked
him what he wanted for il, not maxi
ing known his identity. The story
goes that the assessor asked the prop
eity owner what he wanted for the
property after the fashion of pro-
spective buyer and a high figure was
named. The assessor then declared
his business and the property owner
carried out n strategic retreat from
his first position, maintaing, however,
that his property would bring a price
consistent with what he wanted the
G.asessed valuation to be. The boy an
swered an advertisement of "Dog
Wanted" and the advertiser asked him
what color his dog was. yellow"
promptly answered the boy. 81 don't
want a yellow dog" replied the buy
er. "Well, he amt so yellow as some
dogs, Mister" said the boy in final
argument.

mOny When Nations
Clocks Move Up One
Hour

Baxter Springs will officially cele-
brate the observance Of advancing the
clock one hour, which change in time
occurs March 81, Sunday, the date
announced by President Wilson. The
bill authorizing the daylight saving
program was passed by both houses
Of Congress, the past week.
The matter of celebrating this
officially was taken up at the regular
meeting Of the Chamber of Commerce
directors, at luncheon Monday noon,
at the suggestion Of Secretary C. M.
Sarchet, and the following special
committee was named by President
Harvey to make arrangements for
such IN observance: o. M. Ryan, sup
erentendent of schools; Mrs. w. T.
Apple, president of the Woman's
Chamber of Commerce; Messrs. F. M.
Perkins, Rev. Garretson, Mayor
Wright, Attorney Rosenstein and G..
NJ. Sarchet. Mrs. Apple has named
two other ladies from the Woman's
Chamber of Commerce to assist on
this committee, Mesdames S. w. Van
Dyne and ]. P. Opperman. The Wo-
mans Chamber of Commerce will also
select some woman who will officially
ond actually advance the clock one
hour.
The official patriotic demonstration
in connection with the change in time
will be held at a o'clock Saturday af-
ternoon, March 3Oth, at the corner of
Military and Eleventh street, and
Mayor Wright will issue a proclama-
ton asking all citizens to participate
and declaring that all clocks and
watches shall be advanced one hour.
The ceremonies will consume but one
half hours time, consisting of brief

NO SLACKERS IN COUNTY
Original List of Foreigners Have All
Come In After Learning the Law

After Cherokee county had been
checked up to discover who was evad-

u list of % names published for ap-
prehension. Since disqualification OF
This list all but two of the men have
come in and registered and the two
were Mexicans whose mail had gone
astray. 1t is now definitely known
that Cherokee county has no draft

published are trifle amusing to an
American. Nearly all are impossible
of pronunciation. One Of the lists
is posted at the door of the Baxter
city Jail, which is suggestive place.

In a letter to o member of the Citi-
zen Editorial force a lady writing
from Kansas City, whose loyalty to
her country and reverence for her
God are her two most distinguished
characteristics, thus expressed her
self: 1--WE are of course all anxious
about this terrible battle that is going
on across the water and hoping it
ends right for US. If we had not been
to proud to fight, we would have
been prepared before now and have
been able OF help. We seem to be
able to do nothing but talk and write.
If God is not helping the Kaiser and
does not want him to win, He must be
pretty tired Of waiting on our watch
full waiting, so he might get chance
to help u.s." Some things cannot be
written down no matter how well we
may talk and write, so this newspaper
has adopted the policy of supporting
the Government in everything in
which it considers it right and with
holding criticism in things in which
it considers it weak and wrong, and
we advise all our readers to adopt a
like policy. Nothing viii be gained
by faul finding and criticism-time
for that has passed. 1t is fight now
or be licked, and American citizen
ship will never submit to that as long
there is a man and dollar left.

IN BASEBALL LEAGUE
naXter Fans May See Trolley League
Games On Home Grounds
This Summer

In line with President Wilson's re-
hinder that the Americans should not
forogo sports in war time, the base
ball fans of Baxter and vicinity are
beginning to have visions Of league
baseball team in this city. In line with
This idea, Phil Metzler and VIM. Good
win will go to a meeting Of the Troll
ley League boosters mt Webb City to-
night, and if the proposition looks
good Baxter will have q Trolley
League baseball team. Baxter has
always been a good baseball town
and the towns near would insure more
than enough local patronage il good
team and park were placed here.
There is some splendid local talent to
be had and those thinking of engin-
cering the idea have some outside tai
cnt in sight. Some of the Trolley
League towns are: Joplin, Carterville,
Webb City, Carthage and Ptttsburg.
The Trolley League has always put
up an exceptionally fine class of bush
league baseball. A good ball team Is
n fine advertisement for town and
would be a good thing for Baxter and
The towns adjacent.
