KING WANTS LIBERTY
Man Convicted of RObbing Elder Store
At MelrOse Would Like To Be
Liberated from "Pen."

Ed King, former Bartlesville, Okla,
chief of police, who a few months ago
was convicted in Cherokee county dis
trict court of being party in the rob-
berry of the G. J. Elder Mercantile
Store in Melrose, has filed notice in
the Columbus Advocate that on July
18th he will have a hearing for parole
in the governors office at Topeka.
After many trials in the district
court and some hearings in the su-
preme court, King was sentenced from
this county to the state penitentiaFy
for 10 years. The cases attracted
wide attention and cost this county a
large sum of money. F. w. Boss, who
was at that time county attorney and
who is now a candidate for district
Judge in this county, obtained the con-
victiOn against King.

Baxter Springs is to have a candi-

county that could have been picked
by his party to make the race. He
will have no opposition. Mr.. Fail has
been living in Baxter Springs since
the expiration of his second term as
clerk of the district court about two
years ago. DuringNhis period Of resi-
dence here he has been assimilated in
to the community in a prominent way

THE JOY OF LIVING

To enjoy life we must have good
health. No one can reasonably hope
to get much real pleasure out of life
when his bowels are clogged q good
share of the time and the poisons that
should be expelled are absorbed into
the system, producing headache and
indigestion. A few doses of Chamber
lain's Tablets will move the bowels,
strengthen the digestion and give you
a chance to realize the real joy OF liv-
ing. Try it.

morning it was hard to believe that
this was the first day Of July. 1t was
very near frost this morning but we
have not been able to learn just how
far down the thermometers register
ed. The Sunday papers said frost had
killed some corn in Ohio and Indiana.
There's a lot of difference between
ten cents and ten dollars. There's a
lot of difference between two hundred
thousand and two million dollars.
Yet in serious logical CD editorial
Joplin daily makes the statement
of income of John d. Rockefeller as
basis of argument and figures out
that twenty thousand dollars is ten
per cent of two million dollars and
moralizes soberly on this vast ac-
emulation of wealth. The argument
is really strong save for the fact that
Columbus banker, Mr.. T. P. LaRuc
found a slight discrepancy Of a mil
lion and eight hundred thousand dol
liars in the calculation-just little
matter of pocket change to be sure
but still enough to explode the argu-
ment and make the whole thing a
Joke on our good friend, the Joplin
Globe.-Columbus Advocate.
We respectfully call Mr.. LaRue's
attention to a much larger error in
figures in the Joplin Globe of Sunday:
A head. line read "War Costing 30
Billion A Day."
The Columbus school board in try
ing to get within their appropriation
of sac, 900 for their new Purcell school
building, has had the same experience
as the Baxter Springs board. They
found all bids were above the esti-
mate. Contractors are trying to play
safe on the ascending prices for build
ing material and adding larger prof
it than in normal times.
The new cement floor in the Odd
Fellows block is an improvement
worthy of notice. Cement floors are
much more sanitary and they Danish
the rats, q nuisance and waste that is
extremely bad. If every business
house in Baxter had a cement floor
there would be no place for the rats
to hide and they would leave town.
The Odd Fellows will redecorate their
building before it is occupied by M.
B. Rich, the grocer.
The weather man seems to have
grudge against Baxter Springs. Dur
ing the past ten days good rains have
fallen all around us, but nary a drop
here.
Hockerville mining people were so
elated Friday over the advance in the
price Of zinc that they had to blow
off some of their surplus joy, so they
set all the mine whistles going at

in Baxter and soon the rumor that
Hockerville was burning down began
to float around the business section.
