month and one day of age. Death
was due to typhoid-pneumonia, OF
which he suffered ten days. He was
the only son of John w. Hilligoss, liv-
ing in the northwest part of Baxter
Besides his father he leaves a moth
er, one little sister and n host of re-
latives, friends and playmates to
mourn his loss.
The little spark of light and love
vanishes from our view, but shines the
brighter in the great beyond.
Russell is asleep in Jesus, blessed
sleep:
From which none ever wake to weep;
A calm and undisturbed repose, UNI
broken by the last of foes.
Russell is asleep in Jesus, Oh, how
sweet!
To be for such q slumber meet!
With Holy confidence to sing,
Death has lost its cruel sting.
Russell is asleep in Jesus, peaceful
rest!
Whose waking is supremely blest;
No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour,
That manifests the Saviour's power.
Russell is asleep in Jesus, o, for me!
May such blissful refuge be,
Securely shall thy ashes lie, waiting
the summons from on high.
Russell is asleep in Jesus, far from

Thy kindred and their graves may be:
But there is still blessed sleep, from
which none ever wake to weep.

NEWS AND COMMENT

Roy Van Horn, Of the Jefferson
Highway garage, has been doing some
advertising for Baxter Springs and
for himself. He has road signs all the
way to Kansas City and as far west
as Coffeywille with an arrow pointing
in this direction and the lettering of
Jefferson Highway garage, Baxter
Springs, Kansas. In addition to this
Mr.. Van Horn has received permits
sion to put benches along the Rogers
line between here and Joplin and be-
tween Baxter and Picher at the sta
tons with the name of his business
and the words Baxter Springs"
painted in large letters on them.
Charlie Smith, postmaster, says as
soon as the house numbering is COM
pleted and the side walks are in, he
will file application with the postof-
fee department at Washington for
free delivery of mail in Baxter
Springs. Until these two things are
done we have no chance of getting
this city convenience although our
post office has been raised to a second
class office and all that is in the way
DIS the indifference of the town. We
understand that the house numbering
is not so much in the way now as the
building of the side walks, which has
been allowed to lag until it will prob
ably be some months yet until we get
the delivery and at the rate we have
been going the past year, perhaps
never.

The Christmas
Spirit

E-WilN THE grim business Of war.
HILSkGUN and under the spur Of con-
b.@SES1. servatiOn pleas wrongly I'M
EITSN$%l derstOOd, there Is danger
fuSNlg this year that something or
the Christmas spirit will be
lost. Never before has 1t been more
important that 1t should not be. The
Christmas spirit as well as civilization
and liberty must be saved. The world
is I'm the midst of q war that Is wrench
ing mems hearts; nation that has
made peace Its emblem is throwing IL
self and every resource into the con-
fllct; on all sides sons have parted
from mothers and fathers; news OF
casualties is being received. Under
such circumstances 1t might be natural
for the weak to yield to depression.
This must not be. There Is brave
and CHEEKY side to the picture, which
must be kept constantly In our hearts
and minds.
Preserving and accelerating the
Christmas spirit Of other years Will
help do this; omission Of the usual
acts Of kindness and generosity Will
add needlessly to the depression that
all are trying to drive from them.
Hearts were never in greater need Of
cheering than this year. Nor was
there ever greater need for an outlet
of the spirit of kindness and generoS-
ity In man. We are engaged In the I'M
pleasant business Of bringing to her
senses by force brutal government.
That is the task Of the hour. But 1t
should not be permitted to blind our
eyes to the things wholly Of the spirit,
to dull sensibilIties into disregard OF
obligations less pressingly important,
but equally essential to the preserva'
ton Of the finest type Of American
manhood and wOmanhoOd. That Is
why charities In war times should be
more generously supported than In
days Of peace; why this Christmas
should be made, If possible. cheerier
and happier than any Christmas that
has gone before.
There are some people who cannot
afford to observe this Christmas as
they have observed It in years pre-
cedlng. There are others who can bet
ter AFFORD to be generous than ever.
All should give in proportion. There
is no reason why they should not and
every reason why they should. Not to
do 20 will be unpatriOtic and selfish.
