Delicate Subject We'll Handled in Race

Suicide" Now at Coliseum.
 Race Suicide which appeared at the Coliseum last night and which will be shown for the bal ance of the week, handles a deli cate subject in a masterly manner.
 Race Suicide" deals with the subject from which it derives it's name and although a delicate sub ject, the picture production is han dled in such a way as to take away any taint. There is nothing vulgar or suggestive in the entire produc- tion and the different scenes fol- low in perfect order.

Vale Smith, of This City, Closed Deal With
Kentucky Man-Begin Operating in
About Two Weeks.

Baxter Spring people and especially
the business men will be pleased to
learn that the Goodeagle Refinery
will be in operation in about two

from Kentucky, contaminated q deal

for the company, Garland Biffle, yes

thing goes as Is planned.
The new company will be known as
the Schroer-Smith Refining Company.
Mr.. Schroer is now building $780,
900 plant in Kentucky along with %
miles of pipe line and owns consider

Vale Smith, jr., built the plant here
but afterwards severed connection
with the company and went back to

ested in other oil work. He has just
from a trip to Kansas City
Baxter Springs news., 1918-08-16

where after investigation into some Of
the matters that will bear upon the
sales department Of the new owner
ship, decided to make the move. Mr..
Smith will be here twice q month and
will handle the sales department in
person. A superintendent will be hir-
ed to operate the plant.
The company is in much better
shape than it was by reason Of the re-
cent forfeiture of $50,0O0 to the COM
pany by the new bankrupt Kansas
City concern, which had bought the
Goodeagle Refinery.
The company is yet in debt between
$4,000 and $4,000 which will all be
assumed and paid off by the new COM
pany. The $4,000 was paid on the
debts.
The Goodeagle Company has passed
through a rocky period of existence
and Baxter people will hope to see the
new management bring it out Of the
"kinks" and make the refinery a profit
