AS regards the destruction Of the
Christian church at Columbus yester-
day, the Columbus Advocate says:
"The cause of the fire may not be
definitely known, but was probably
caused by defective electrical wiring
somewhere, either in the pipe organ,
or somewhere behind or above it. The
fiues, of course, were virtually new.
practically nothing was saved from
the building, as it was dangerous to
enter it. The pipe organ, the seats,
and furniture were wiped out by the
flames. Even the school children, who
have been temporarily using the base
ment since the recent destruction OF
the U. B. church, lost most of their
books"
The church was insured for $4,000.

KILLED BY AUTO

The Columbus Advocate Of Wednes-
day contains the following:
"John Wilson, aged 40 years, OF
Picher, Okla, who was released from
the county Jail here yesterday with
four other prisoners, after serving q
thirty day sentence for violation OF
the 'bone dry" law was run over by
a motor car and almost instantly kill
ed, near the Old Rock Distillery, on
the state line, east Of Galena, at 10
o'clock last night.
"The car belonged to Sam Harmon
and was stolen late yesterday after
noon. The thieves never stopped after
striking Wilson, but continued west
ward through Galena at rapid rate
supposedly on their way to Oklahoma
''WilsOn's body was not mutilated
and he died from internal injuries.
He was accompanied by a woman
known as Dolly McMurrey, whose
home is said to be in Joplin. She es-
capped injuries"

FINE REPORT

d. H. Holt, one of the state bank
examiners on Wednesday completed
the examination of the Baxter State
bank. Every state bank is subjected
two or three times a year to a thor
ough examination relative to its re-
sources and liabilities, its method Of
keeping its books, the character of the
paper it is handling, ETC., for the pur-
pose of safeguarding the depositors
against incompetency or intentional
mishandling of funds. Speaking to a
Daily Citizen reporter, Mr.. Holt
stated that he found this time as well
as on previous occasions, that the
Baxter State Bank is one Of the best
conducted in the state. although this
bank does business that aggregates
over a half million of deposits, l find
it as easy to go through its accounts
as it is to audit the books of small
bank" said Mr.. Holt. "This is be-
cause the banks books are kept up to
the minute all the time, with a COM
plete balance every night. Its papers,
all of it, also, is unquestiOnable.
Worth one hundred cents on the dol
lar all the time"

GARRETSON'S BOOK COMMEND.

"My Dear Sir:-Dr. Cadman for
warded to me the copy Of your book
Story Of Billy Owen which you was
good enough to send me. l have read
It with much interest. It is indeed
surprising how much real information
about oil you have been able to pack
into it without destroying the trend
of your story, making it valuable as
book Of reference quite as much as q
romance.
"Thank you for sending it, and for
doing me the honor of subscribing the
fly leaf with your name. Very truly
yours, H. C. Folger."

GERMAN HELMETS

Eighty-fve thousand captured Ger.
man helmets, sent to this country by
General Pershing for victory liberty
loan advertising, and now dumped in
a huge pile at Bush terminal piers,
Brooklyn, sent government lawyers
prying into their books to find some
statute, under which the "iron hats"
might be given away. At first, the
war department said the loan man.
ayers plan for using helmets as
prizes, for the best records in each
district, could not be carried out, be-
cause the government, by law, was
forbidden from giving away materials
Then Frank r. Wilson, director of
loan publicity, thought of an old law,
permitting the government to give
away munitions of value" Now, war
department lawyers are checking up
on the law. Meanwhile, a long-dis-
tance telephone message to the treas
ury, from the piers, said souvenir
hunters from the neighborhood, are
nibbling into the pile of helmets,
without awaiting the lawyers decis-
ion.

'A HUNCH FOR
BAXTER SPRINGS
Chamber of Commerce Should
Take Steps to Inaugurate
A "Spring Display"
Week

The writer believes in a combined
effort Of all the business men in Bax-
ter or any other town or city inures to
the benefit Of each business man in
that town or city. For this reason it
would seem most natural and appro-
pirate that a week should be set apart,
known as "Spring Display Week."
where all the merchants could make
especial preparations to put their
goods on display.
Many of the larger cities are be-
ginning the advocacy of this plan as a
means Of securing out-of-town trade,
Joplin being the latest to become in
terested along this line. The Cham
ber of Commerce at Joplin has taken
hold of the proposition with a vim.
To keep trade at home where it be-
longs, some effort should be made by
the business men, and that effort
should be display of all the business
in the town, that the surrounding
country might get better acquainted
with the different business men and
what they have to offer for sale.
Spring is coming on and "Spring
Display Week" could be made a busi-
ness feature which would be beneficial
to all concerned.
Besides making an inducement to
the trades people to trade at home, it
furnishes a channel for the new ac-
QUESTIONS in population to get ac-
quainted with the business men.
The habit of trading away from
home is a bad one, when everything
needed is carried in stock by the home
merchants, just as good, just as fine
and just as cheap as can be found out
Of town.

CAMPBELL OUT
FOR SPEAKER
Kansas Delegation Backs Our
Congressman for Speaker
of the Lower
House

Washington, Feb. 25.-Republicar
members from Kansas today decided
to present the name of Representative
Phil Campbell Of Pittsburg, Kan.
when the house republicans meet in
conference Thursday night to nom-
mate a speaker for the next house.
1t is understood that support for
Mr.. Campbell has been promised by
a number Of western members. The
announcement that he will enter the
race complicates what had been ex-
pected to be a two-sided fight between
Representative Mann of Illinois and
Representative Gillett of Massachu-
sets.
The election of Mr.. Campbell was
urged in the interest of party har-
mony in an appeal issued by the Kan
sas delegation.
The appeal was signed by d. r.
Anthony, jr., and Edward Little, re-
elected Kansas members and Homer
Hoch, James G. Strong, Hays B.
White and ]. N. Tincher, the newly
elected republicans from that state.
The appeal addressed to all repub-
licanes-elect in the next house said in
part:
"0ur first duty is to our country
and to the Republican party. We
have yet time before the conference
in which to select a candidate who
will satisfy all elements in the repub-
ilcan partys and the country at large.
Let us ignore individual ambitions
and serve our party and our country
by so settling the speakership contest
that it will not be an issue at any
time hereafter.
"The great west made the 66th con-
gress republican; let US go there for
our candidate for speaker. Philip p.
Campbell has been in congress for
sixteen years. He has weathered ev-
cry political storm within that time,
standing firmly the vital principles of
the republican party. He is a good
parliamentarian, is at present ranking
republican member of the committee
on rules and one of the best presid-
ing officers in the house of represent
atives."
