REGARDING THE
SUNDAY SCHOOL DRIVE

Dear Editor:-
I The undersigned churches, realize
that there are numbers of children in
Baxter Springs who are not now at
tending any Sunday school, and that
it would be a desirable accomplish
ment if all children and adults as
we'll could be vitality interested in
church and Sunday school attendance.
In Mondays copy of your paper
it is announced by the Methodist folks
that the city is to be districted, and
that a number of workers will go out
to try and secure for their own Sum
day school the attendance of all child
rem not now attending any other Sun
, day school.
We are heartily in accord with the
principle of securing all children's at
tendance at Sunday school, but we be-
lieve that the best interest Of Gods
Kingdom upon the earth, cannot be
secured by having any inter-church
contests for Sunday school members
! in this city when Church Unity is be-
ing encouraged throughout the land.
Therefore we, the undersigned, would
suggest thru your paper to the pub
lie, that the nice thing would be for
the Pastors, Superintendents and Sec
retaries of all the churches to have a
meeting in the near future, to arrange
for thorough canvass of the city by
street, house and number, and that
people be given q chance to suggest
their personal church preference.
That such information be indicated on
cards furnished for that purpose and
that these cards be turned over to the
church named thereon, and then each
Church and Sunday school endeavor to
secure as large an attendance as pos
sible of these persons who have indi-
Gated their desire to attend said
church.
, Mr.. Garretson suggested to Mr..
Kaltenbach, a captain of one Of the
teams of the M. E. School, that such
conference be called and such pro-
gram be followed out, but Mr.. Kali
tenbach declined to consider any such
suggestion, declaring that all other
churches had the same opportunity as
did the Methodist School. So, we un-
derignd again respectfully suggest
/ that it would not be the best interests
Of Christ's cause to have all the
churches engaged in a fight for new
members, but that the really Christ
ian method would be thru and by co
operative action and community inter
est, which is being urged in business
by the Chamber of Commerce and like
organizations, and ought to work with
at least as good grace if not better
grace in matters pertaining TO relig-
ion.
To those families in Baxter Springs,
who prefer the Christian, Baptist or
Presbyterian church or Sunday school,
or any other church not named herein,
the undersigned would suggest that

4 GAILY WEEK
DRESS BAXTER UP
A Carnival Of Business, Gaity
and Music win See
Baxter as
She Is .t

Dress Baxter up and put her on ex-
hibition.
Let's have a "Spring Display Week"
business, social and musical carnival.
These three distinct features
business, social and musical-eould oc-
cupy three Of the nights Of that week,
the first where the Chamber Of Com
meree could have q smoker" in the
interests Of the farming community
to cement a'closer union between the
farming element and the business
man. '.
The second feature-the social
could be arranged by the Womenis
Club.
The third feature-the musical
could be arranged with q program Of
music by the best musicians In Bax-
ter and could wind up the weeks &C.
tivities in q most betting manner.
In the week set apart and adver-
tised as "Spring Display Week." ev-
cry merchant should take pride and
do his uttermost to outdo his business
neighbor, not in q spirit to outclaSs
him SO much as to get the attention Of
the out-of-town people directed to-
ward Baxter's business institutions.
With the earnestness and zeal the
Baxter business men have, there 10 no
reason why q weeks carnival Of this
nature should not bring substantial
results.
The musical feature needs especial
mention because of its winding up the
weeks activities, and as regards this
II would be well to note what is being
done out in the "short grass" country
at Hays, Kansas.
Henry Edward Mallory, head Of the
department of music Of the Fort Hays
normal, has announced the music fes-
tival week for western Kansas for
May 4 to May IL. The school will
bring to the "short grass country"
world-famous artists. Heretofore
music lovers Of the great plains have
had to 90 east for their music. Not
so any longer. The worlds greatest
dramatic contralto, Nine. Margaret
Matzenauer, Of the Metropolitan
Grand Opera Co., of New York, will
open the week Sunday afternoon,
May 4. Toscha Seidel, the most SEN
sational violin prodigy the world has
produced, who has been q soloist with
every great symphony orchestra in
the world, will appear Sunday after
noon, May II.
Mr.. Malloy will conduct chorus Of
500 voices, and an orchestra Of fifty
pieces, in giving Handel's famous ora
toriO, "The Messiah" on each Of the
Sunday nights of the week. 1.-THE Mes
siah" will be assisted by quartet Of
world-famous singers, whom Mr.. NAL
10y will announce later. Every after
noon and evening Of the week there
will be a special musical program en-
ploying the best musical talent obtain
able.
The writer believes that an effort
should be made by the Chamber Of
Commerce along the line Of "Spring
Display Week." which might result in
an annual affair and grow into one Of
the biggest cards Baxter could play.
