100000 FIRE
loss At P|CHER
Five Business Buildings Burned
Together With Entire
Contents

Another destructive fire visited
J Picher Wednesday morning Destroy
ing five business buildings and their
entire stocks of goods. 1t is reported
that within one hour from the time the
fire started the entire portion Of the
block between Third and Fourth on
South Main street was a smoking
ruin, with virtually nothing saved
from the stocks of goods in the stores.
The fire started in the Main Street
theare from an unknown cause, it is
stated, taking in its course the Hood
rooming house on the south, the Cal
ifornia~ fruit stand, Zerman's dry.
goods store, an auto repair shop, and
other business buildings to the north,
including the 10 Cent store and Har-
wells dry goods store.
The buildings destroyed were all of
concrete except the Hoods rooming
house, which was a frame building.
The loss, it is estimated, will amount
to 100000, with not a great deal of
insurance proportion to the amount
of stock on hand. Many of the Picher
merchants prefer to take chances with
the fires to paying the excessive in
surance rates that prevail in the dis
.trict on account of the large number
of frame buildings on Main street.
Very little stock in the stores was
taken out, as the fire was so fierce
that it was almost impossible to get
near the buildings after fire started
and the chemical wagons belonging to
the city and the Picher company were
handicapped in their fight and at a
disadvantage from the beginning Of
the fire.
The origin of tn efire has not been
learned.

dispOsing of that matter and then
take up the paving idea instead of oil.
The trolly people are on record to
stand their share of paving Military
whenever the city is ready to go
ahead, and this, with the governments
part, would reduce the cost to Baxter
to a mere song.
The time limit to secure the govern
ment aid is near at hand and whatever
is done in the matter will necessarily
have to be accomplished soon.
Chairman Rucker seeks to have the
government aid, under the population
idea that Baxter is entitled to, come
before the Chamber of Commerce to-
night, after the Memorial building
program has been dispensed with,
when some decisive action will be
taken.

THE CAT AND THE FISH

In a sinful world it is Americas job
to see that no European or Asiatic
power shall stand sentinel over the
Panama Canal. We may have the
highest regard for the power that
would like to do so. But we have an
even higher regard for our own safety.
And we don't propose to leave that
question to an alien body like the
League of Nations to determine.
When there is fish on the table We
don't leave the cat alone in the room
with It, and we don't take time to, 60
to court and apply for an injunction
against the cat.-Kansas City Star.

The discovery that Federal aid
would apply to the paving Of Military
avenue, was brought to the attention
of Chairman Rucler of the concrete
drive on the Chetopa road, the secre-
tary of the Chamber Of Commerce,
and others, and all were Of the opinion
that the paving proposition was a
good one. Mr.. Rucker is to take the
matter up with the committee who
solicited funds to have Military and
the cross streets oiled and see If the
paving Of Military and cross streets
would not meet the approval of all,
inaSmuch as One-half of the paving
cost would be borne by the govern

SPRINGS WOMAN'S CLUB

Mrs. o. M. Bilharz is in receipt Of
a letter from the secretary Of the Am
erican Forestry Magazine at Wash
ington, dated March 20, which fol-
lows:
My Dear Madam:
In reply to your letter Of March "a,
we wish to congratulate the Baxter
Springs Woman's Club on its tree
planting. This is indeed a very fine
thing to do. The American Forestry
Association aims to register all such
trees planted in a national honor roll
and we will be very glad indeed to list
your work in this connection. We
have designed a marker for the trees
in the shape of a shield: This istO be
attached to the tree with a small chain
which can be enlarged from time to
time. This shield brings out the fact
that it is a memorial tree and that it
is registered and leaves a space for
the name of the man for whom the
tree is planted. We will be very glad
shortly if you are interested to send
you pictures Of this design.
Yours very truly,
s. Randolph, Secretary.
P. S. We are very much interested
in the clippings you sent US and We
see one about bird houses by Ann Isa-
belle Emmons and we win appreciate
it indeed if you can put ~ in touch
with her as we want to call her atten-
ton to our bird house contest on the
sheet which we are enclosing. P. S. r.

MISS LIBERTY
HOLDING FLAGS
Baxter Arrayed in Splendid At
tire in Honor of the Memo
rial Building Campaign
Now In Progress

Baxter is to be decorated for the
next ten days or, until the end of the
Memorial building campaign, with
posters, banners across the streets and
signs on the telephone poles. The
work of distributing these posters
started yesterday when a committee
visited every business house and left
window posters.
One of the best posters is a clever
bit.Of coloring with Miss Liberty hold
ing the flags of the Allies and the
names of the ninteen great battles in
which Baxter boys took part named.
The battles are Chateau Thierry, Bel
leau Wood, st. Quentin, Grand Pre-,
Dormans, Sedan, Fismes, Vosges, Ste
nay, Cantiny, Buxancy, Montfaucon,
Marne River, Aisne River, Meuse
River, Flanders, Piave River, Argonne
and st. Mihiel.
AS one man put it, "These ninteen
battles and all they mean for civiliza-
tion and knowing that our own boys
took part in them is the best reason in
the world for the citizens of Baxter to
build this Memorial building. The
residents here realize this too so that
is why ! know we are going to have
it," and he left with a broad smile on
his face. Let it be added that this is
the sort of spirit and optimism that is
found all up and down the streets
among the business men of Baxter.
A large banner will be stretched
across Military avenue from the head
quarters of the campaign committee,
which are located in the o. M. Spratt
office in the State Bank building. Mrs.
Charles Marshall, wife of a local bust
ness man who was in the service sew
en- months, will act as secretary dur
ing the campaign.
Cities throughout the country are
erecting memorials for their returned
heroes and the boys who lost their
lives in the war. Kansas City's liber-
ty memorial committee, composed of
250, will decide tonight as to the char
acter of that city's memorial. Pro-
posals have been made for q monu-
ment in form of an arch, shaft or
sculpture group, memorial building
with monument, memorial building
without monument or q municipal uni
versity.
A patriotic demonstration marked
the enthusiasm with which Ottawa is
going after the memorial. Yesterday
a $75, 900 bond issue was voted for the
erection Of a memorial for soldiers,
sailors and marines who served in the
world war from that city.
The citizens of Neodesha voted a
bond levy of $27,OO0 to purchase two
parks, one to be a city block in the
heart of the business section to be
dedicated as the Soldiers Memorial
Park in honor Of Neodesha soldiers.
Every patriotic Baxter citizen is ex-
pected to be present at the meeting
10 be held tonight in the Chamber of
Commerce. At this meeting the Or
yanization of the financing teams will
be completed. They will be in readi-
ness for an early start Monday morn

P|TTSBURG SRR|NERS
ON A PILGRIMAGE
Meet With MOBILES Of the Mining
District and Spend An
Enjoyable Evening

A caravan Of Pittsburg members Of
Mira Temple, order Of the Mystic
Shrine, camped in this vicinity Wed.
night. After a weary journey over
the intervening desert which in this
instance was anything but dry and
dusty, they arrived at an oasis that
provided them refreshments and en-
tertainment.
The place of shelter was the Huttig
Lodge, at the Huttig mine, about four
miles southwest of Baxter Springs.
The visit Of the Pittsburg Mobiles and
their brothers from Galena and Bax-
ter as well, was made in response to
an invitation from Mobiles H. E. Hut
tig and B. E. Brown, Of the Huttig
Lodge, and it was by these two
gentlemen that about fifty Shriners
were most royalty entertained with
music, feasting and speaking, until
the darting beams of light over the
eastern horizon gave warning of the
approach of another day.
Huttig Lodge proved an admirable
place for the rendezvous, it being
spacious, cheerful and secluded, where
no thought need be taken Of the pos
sibility of disturbing the peaceful
slumbers Of the neighbors.
Huttig Lodge, by the way, is unique
in that it is the only club in the Kan
sas-0 Oklahoma mining district main
tained by mining company express
ly for the comfort Of its officers and
men. VIM. Huttig, of Kansas City,
head Of the mining company, and his
son, conceived and carried out the
idea when the mine, then known a.
the Merrill, was opened about two
years ago. It accommodates about
thirty men, with rosalA and board. be-
ing provided witha full eOmmissayy
department, presided over by q color,
ed chef. B. E. Brown is chief stew
ard of this club and it Is to him and
Mr.. Huttig, Jr., that the Shriners arc
indebted for the royal entertainment.
The Pittsburg pilgrims spent oil
that was left Of the night trying 70
get a little sleep, and early in the
started on their hOmeward
journey. They tarried in Baxter q
few minutes and their band entertain
ed the people with some most excel
ent music.
The journey was largely a pleasure
rip but devoted also to increasing the
membership of the Mira temple in
his field, where the visitors declared
here are still host Of good fellows
who belong in the ranks Of this noble
order.
In the Pittsburg contingent were .
