the wise housekeeper who values her

BOY SCOUTS TAKE TESTS

What might have been taken for q
marathon by persons who encounter
ed them and did not understand what
was up, was in reality twenty-five
Boy Scouts taking a running test Fri
night, about 8 o'clock, on the mile
stretch north between the corner Of
Fifth street and Willow avenue and
the G. W. Simpson corner, where the
road turns west to the Willow Greek
school house. In charge Of the man
euvers was Scoutmaster Walter
Fisher.
The test required of the boys Fri.
night was to have them judge both
distance and time. They were requir-
ed to do the mile in twelve minutes,
no more nor no less, and do it, too, at
the Scout pace. Two of the boys,
Leon Bennett and Leonard Hodgkins,
made the mile in exactly twelve min
utes. Several of them were close with
liz minutes and still others fell be-
low that mark, or in other words they
made the mile too quickly.
The boys assembled at 1880 o'clock
in the Chamber of Commerce assem-
bly, room, their regular meeting place.
and then proceeded on a hike to the
corner of Fifth and Willow. Fisher
went to the Simpson corner, a mile
north and five minutes after he start
ed the first boy was let loose to do
his mile; a boy q minute was turned
loose thereafter until all twenty-five
were on the runway.
After the tests were finished the
boys went to the Len Hodgkins farm
nearby and enjoyed q weiner roast.
The Fox patrol made a record by
building the best fire.

made Joplin what it is today; that is

ARE DISCUSSING
SPRING DISPLAY
Week In Connection With a
Trade Trip to Various Bax-
ter Communities In Early
Part of April

Discussion Of q spring display per-
lod in Baxter, perhaps early In April,
preceded by trade trip to the var
ious communities In the Baxter trade
territory, has been under discussion
BY the Chambers Of Commerce for
some time, and an expression from
the business men on this subject is de-
sired. In Carthage, Joplin, Pittsburg
and many other cities the merchants
are providing for q spring display
week, and It Is believed that q similar
program would be q good one for
Baxter, whose merchants are just as
well equipped as those Of other towns
and cities to put on 4 good showing.
The program, as far as discussed
by the Chamber of Commerce.; would
include q committee that would have
full authority. In this committee
would be controlled all matters per-
tanning to the display week and to the
trade trip that would precede It, II
would have to do also with all adver-
tising.
Just what the display week should
be and what it should constitute would
all be decided by this committee, as
would likewise the feasibility Of the
trade trip.
Such trade trip would perhaps in
clude Hockerville, st. Louis, Picher
Cardin, Century, Quapaw, Peoria
Lowell, Riverton and Neutral. It has
also been suggested that a separate
trade trip be taken or perhaps q series
Of trips by separate punches Of busi-
ness men on the same day, that would
include the farming communities
throughout the Baxter trade territory,
taking in the Melrose, Neutral, River
ton, Quaker Valley and various other
farm communities. These are all
matters to be worked out by the COM
mittee, provided the business men
want q spring display week and q
trade trip program.

.REY & SON AWARD
Ed THE CONTRACT
To Build Municipal Power Plant
for Baxter-Work to Begin
in Is Days-Home Labor
VIII Build the Plant

The city council held q special meet
ing last night-to determine on the
matter Of bids submitted for the con-
structiOn Of Baxter's municipal water
plant.
There was a spirited contest on by
the out-of-town bidders TO secure the
work.
After thorough consideration Of
oil the bids the council awarded the
contract for the building Of the pow
er house, reservoir and all concrete
work to Ray & Son Of Baxter Springs.
Their bid was $22,869.
The reader must not get confused
in this statement. The Ray 4 Son
contract has nothing TO do with the
machinery, the oil pumps, tank, etc.
A contract was let TO Fairbanks
Morse Co., for one oil engine, which,
until the price is figured out, we are
unable to give.
The Union Iron Works was awarded
q contract for one Pomona pump, one
Gould centrifugal pump and one mo-
tor, q complete unit.
The Chicago Bridge & Iron Works
secured the contract for one 100000
tank known as the panel elliptical
type. Their bid was $10,1OO.
City Clerk Shields thinks the sum
Of $4,000 voted to build and equip
the plant is more than sufficient. In
fact he roughly estimated that there
would be surplus Of perhaps $4,000.
In conversation with Mr.. Ray, he
said he would be at work on the build
ing Of the plant within ten to fifteen
days and expected to have his contract
completed within one hundred days.
He will employ home labor in all
classes Of his work as long as he can
secure men capable Of handling the
work.
We are more than pleased that Ray
G. Son secured the above contract.
The firm is responsible and will give
Baxter q substantial water plant.
