TRIES SUICIDE

A suicidal attempt was made Mon
day morning, about seven o'clock, by
old man Layton, an inmate Of the
County Home, when he seized razor
and severed his left jugular vein, be-
sides inficting other cuts on his
breast and abdomen.
Supt. Fisher telephoned to DR.. ].
Dale Graham, county physician, who
made q hurry run to the farm and
saved the would-be suicide from bleed
ing to death, although the victim was
pretty far gone from loss Of blood.
Layton is q man about 10 years Of
age, and has been at the County Farm
only q few weeks. He was despon-
dent, and believed to be demented.
He admits that this is not the first
time he has tried to kill himself. He
has frequently been found wandering
around by himself, and muttering
strangely.

BAXTER WOMAN'S CLUB
SCORES SUCCESS WITH
ST. PATRICK'S BALL

The masquerade ball given under
the patronage of the Baxter Woman's
Club in the Goodeagle hall Mon. night
was carried out with all the success
that its sponsors had hoped for.
The motive of the ball; as adver-
tised, was to raise funds to start the
work of identifying the Library Park,
an object very necessary to the attrac-
tiveness of our little city.
The spirit of cooperation in a COM
mon interest for the advancement Of
community Enterprises for the better
ment of the town which is a dominent
factor in this Club seemed to prevail.
The crowd had caught this spirit and
carried the affair along with the good
fellowship and dash which made of it
community gathering.
There were about 300 people at
tending. The neighboring towns Of
Missouri and Oklahoma and nearby
Kansas towns were well represented.
Many tickets were purchased by
persons who could not attend but were
glad to help swell the funds to be used
in q cause of common interest to the
town.
Most everyone came masqued.
Among the varied costumes were
some very beautiful, others noted for
their historical significance, while a
great number were amusing or gro
tesque. Many ladies and men were
in full evening attire, making pleas
ing contrast to those in masquerade.
When moneys are all in and ex-
penses taken care of, the amount real
lied will be published as the club feels
this will be of general interest.
Masquerade Notes
Enough sailors were present to man
a dreadnaught.
Refreshments were served by girls
in very bewitching costumes.
The coffee and waters were furnish
ed by Mr.. Briscoe, of the Sanitary
Grocery.
E. H. Schloeman supplied the meat
for the sandwiches and they were sure
good. Punch also was served.
The music was of the very best,
furnished by a six-piece orchestra.
The hall was nicely decorated in
st. Patrick's novelties.

GREAT METHODIST MOVEMENT

The most important annual meet
ing ever held by. the Kansas Metho-
dist conference closed Sunday after
a week Of intensive planning for the
greatest movement in the history OF
the church. Every minister will 60
home imbued with the Importance Of
doing his share in the centenary move
ment, from the time the big drive
starts in April to raise the necessary
money for carrying out the recon-
-struction program, and continuing for
five years, or until every part Of that
program is carried out in full.
Practically every Topeka congrega-
ton heard something about the big
centenary. movement. Visiting minis
ters filled the pulpits in most Of the
churches, and a part Of their sermons
were decidated to this cause, which Is
unusually far-reaching. The program
outlined by the last general confer
ence includes a comprehensive pro-
gram of foreign and home missionary
work, for which s6,OOO,OO0 will be
raised in April. Every minister and
layman of the church is expected to
get into the harness and help put this
intensive campaign for funds over the
top, in the shortest possible time.
Bishop A. w. Leonard, presiding Of
ficer of the Kansas conference, de-
clares that the raising Of the money
is but small part of the real intent
of the general conference. After the
money is pledged, the whole FIVE years
must be given to the work of recon-
struction and of church extension by
every member and minister. @

WHEAT IN KANSAS

According to reports Of the Secre-
tary of the Kansas State Board Of Ag-
riculture, the record of 55 wheat crops

price per bushel was 72 cents. The
value of one acre was 1929.
From 1892 to 1908, the average

for these IL years was 81 cents per

During the years 1904 to 1916, win
ter wheat averaged 13.46 bu. The
average price was 1876 cents per bu.

During the rs years-1S92 to 1916

the acre value was 1913.
The western half of Kansas has
been developed and wheat, at these
low prices, has paid the bills. Has
wheat raising paid the Kansas farm
er? Will it continue to pay?-J. E.

homa, he knows that In all these
states millions Of dollars have been
and are still being squandered under
the present system Of dirt road build
ing, only to be duplicated year In and
year out. This statement also applies
to street work in cities and towns. To
prove this contention, one need not go
away from Baxter, but using an out
side city as q guide to clinch this
statement, we cite that the city Of
Carthage pays out $4,000 per year to
maintain" her dirt or chat roads, and
vet her streets from one end to the
other are full Of "chuck" holes.
With this vision as the proper con-
ception of road and street building
and the greatest Of all reconstruction
themes to place this country on a
footing of indestructible industrial
prosperity, and at the same time
serve notice to the world that we are
prepared for any invasion for a CEN
tury to come, we pass from the "rat
hole" into which road money is now
dumped and re-dumped and live in
an age when we can see the United
States girdled with hard surfaced
roads.
Oh. for a Goethal road builder.

Of course, the trolley line franchise
calls for the upkeep of the track bed
a certain distance from either rail, or
