Learn When to Be Silent.

The union of good talker and lis tener Is irresistible. Tact should teach us when to be silent. We have made progress when we realize that 1t is un.

writer than the man now on the job
he appears by nature not fitted for
the task. But we know Of a party who
would match up with the reputation
of the Rounder. It's the guy who late

Phil Keener's sheet to malign the
board of education because he did not
succeed in bulldozing that body into
giving him q job. This man took to
writing only lately and he isn't much

doesn't matter. He is a consummate

evidenced by the fact that he is
afraid to sign his name to what he
writes, and having all these qualifi-
cations he ought to make a success of

SCHOOL Of MINES
IN BAXTER SPRINGS
LOCAL BOOSTERS GET
BRANCH OF UNIVERSITY
LOCATED HERE
IMPROVEMENT TO BAXTER
Will Occupy Library Building
and Open to Any Person
Who Wishes to Take up
the Study

Baxter Springs has been successful
in her efforts to secure a school o
mines, which is in reality an exten
sion of the department of mining en-
gineering of the Kansas State Univer
sity at Lawrence. The campaign Il
secure this school has been conducted
quietly, without advertising or public
ity, the intention being to make surt
Of action before it was made public
When Governor Capper was here on
August 3, the matter was taken up
with him by the Chamber of Com
merce and also by Arthur C. Terrill
of Baxter, who is head of the Depart
ment of Mining Engineering of the
State University. Governor Capper
asked that the complete details be
given to him in writing and this was
done Immediately by Secretary Sar-
chet. The approval of the governor
and of the state board of administra-
ton has been secured and it is now
certain that Baxter will have the
school.
The Inauguration Of such a school
for this city was with Mr.. Terrill,
who was quick to see, soon after he
had made this city his home, that this
is the proper place for such an insti-
tuition. He began campaign through
the Chamber of Commerce to secure
a sufficient amount of the equipment,
which was formerly in use at the
school of mines at Weir City, and it
was to use this that the approval of
Governor Capper and the state board
OF administration was sought.
Following two fires at Weir City
and other discouragement, the school
of mines equipment was shipped to
the state university at Lawrence,
where it has since been stored. Now
q sufficient amount of this to accom-
mOdate the Baxter school will be
shipped back to this county. 1t is ex-
pected now that the school will be
ready for work. by October /.
The school 81 mines will be located
iere in the city library building. The
consent of the city council and the
,ity library board has been secured
md the necessary changes in the
will be made in the near fu-
ure. The basement of the building
will be reftted to be used for the
hemical department, and the main
lasses will be held on the second
lOor.
Commencing as far back as last
pring, efforts were made by Prof.

covered that until as late an 1885, only

in use. Not until the following decade
did the highly improved" kerosene
lamp appear. Gas did not come out
until the period between 1855 and 1875.

emit era began In 1898, when gas and
electricity came into general use-gas
selling at 81 per thousand cubic feet
and electricity at 10 cents per kilo-
watt hour. Since that time the gas
mantle and the electric d1ament have
seen vast improvements, so that today
the average family is obtaining about
eighteen times as much light as the
people OF half century ago.
