A PLEASANT RIDE

It certainly is q pleasure to ride in
an automobile from here to Joplin on
a fair day. Such a road is credit to
any community and we do hope steps
will be continued till such roads are
connecting all cities and towns in
Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma. The
automobile has come to stay, and an
automobile can make as good time on
such a road as the ordinary railroad
train, with no more danger, and with
four, FIVE, six or seven passengers at
less expense. A team Of horses can
haul twice as heavy a load on that
good road as upon the old dirt road
with its hills and ruts, and do it more
easily and in half the time. True, that
good road has cost some money but
in a purely agricultural community it
will pay the farmers who live beside
or near such a road in his going to
and from market. Let the work Of
building good roads 60 on continuous
ly until all roads are good roads. The
automobile is not now q luxury for
the rich city man only but is cheap
and quick vehicle for the farmer, and
the farmer more than the town or city
man should stand for hard surface
graded road. It will pay.

OUT OF THE MUD

The one big job Uncle Sam and his
children are going to tackle after the
war is the job of making permanent
highways. This bit Of domestic bus
mess is going to be attended to with
much the same pep and dispatch that
characterized the way the boys went
thru France when they once got
started. The whole country is organ
izing for q mighty campaign that
will forever put US up out Of the mud
and Kansas is going to play her part
Of the program in q way that sets the
pace for other states.
The Daily Citizen recognizes this
very important movement and its
needs in this intensive industrial dis
trict. To many people good road agi-
tation is dry and not interesting but
we believe it to be the duty Of this
great disseminator Of news and intell-
igence, to carry its part Of the educa-
tional program to its readers and to
that end is going to publish for the
next few days a series Of articles deal
ing with the good road improvement
in general and for this county and 10
cality in particular.
We need nothing greater to foster
growth and development Of the city
and its mining envirOns than substan-
tial, concrete roads which shall not be
dry weather roads but 865 day roads
where business as usual" can carry
ON all the time.

CLARA X. YOUNG IN "MAGDA"

Think Of Clara Kimball Young's
great emotional performances, her
former triumphs in "The Common
Law" "The Price She Paid" and the
"The Easiest Way" and the fact that
in "Magda" she far surpasses any
thing she has ever done before.
We call attention of our patrons
the history of "Magda" as a strange
production; the fact that the role in
which Clara Kimball Young has
achieved the greatest success Of her
career, was enacted by Bernhardt and
Duse on the legitimate boards and
that the play is one Of the classics Of
modern times.
Also the fact that this q gripping
drama Of the home, in which young
girls youth and dreams are sacrificed
to the arrogance of an unreasonable
parent. Emphasize the lesson that
"Magda" points to mothers and faith
ers who arbitrarily attempt to rule
the lives of their children.
This marvellous production will be
shown at the Elite Theatre tonight at
$3.50.

The quota of French orphans to be
adopted in Baxter Springs is fourteen
according to information that has
reached the Chamber Of Commerce
through Mrs. l.. D. Brewster, who has
letters from the state association. The
communications are now in the hands
of r. E. Rosenstein, chairman Of the
patriotic department of the Chamber

it is the plan of the national and state
organizations for a community 70

of its quota of orphans for a year.
The amount necessary to so care for
one child a year is $S7, or a total Of
$514 for Baxter Springs. In some
places church organizations take over
this work, while in others the cities
do it. In numerous instances, too,
men who are SO inclined put up .
check for the total expense.

ANOTHER HOLDUP

men walking very slow ahead of him.
Thinking nothing about them Ed

At q certain city not far distant is

days ago the report came in that
Frisco train No. LOT would have eight
soldiers aboard. When the train ar
rived only one man Of the eight pre-
sented himself at the canteen for cof-
fee and doughnuts. One or two OF the
other seven apparently preferred the
Harvey eating house service and the
others were not interested at all. One
soldier was heard to remark that he
wasn't interested just then in "eats"
and hurried away likely to get to
someone he hadn't seen for ever so
