Thui goo the story in the ojice
"Great American desert." With; the
Cide of immigration has-coim' a change
of season and heavy rains of flood'ipro-
portions now frequently visit the arid
spots where rainfall was otic-.unknowii
ft real indeed lias been the transforma-
tion over to date. A" few years honee
will find the Great Soutwostaud espe-
cially Beaver county the garden Bpot

Advertising n flood sale may appear
rather odd in this altitude. but theio
was nothing queer about that sale that
the Enterprise Mercantile Co. hud this
week. It simply rained so hard one
day last week that thu drainage ditches
oouid not carry the water away and the
collar of the store was Hooded. Four
feet of water was standing in the cellar
and considerable of the can goods was
damaged in general appearance. The
storu soldhe goods at a low price for
the reason the wrapper on the cans' was
damaged. Liberal News.
Whilo in town lust week J. S. Fischer
gave out the information that ho had
"cut loose" from Beaver and would
henceforth cast his destinies witlrToxas
county. Well he is g-uie but really it
is not so noticeable. There was a
small hole in the atmosphere for a lit-
tle while after ho left and across the
river in the direction he wont the dust
arose but that soon disappeared and all
is tranquil within tho city once moro.
Thus was the passing of the great?
"short gnrs orator."
The question of better pay for our
school teachers is attracting public at-
tention more than ever. There has
been little encouragement heretofore
for young men and "women to enter
upon the 'profession of teaching. In
nine cases in 'ten teaching has been
adopted as a more stepping jtono to
some .'profession or other business. It
has scarcely risen to lhd'dlgnltyof if
profession except within very narrow
limits." Men and women who nre will-
ing to adopt teaching as a profession
should bo given to understand that it
will pay Ihoin to do so. E:iid Eagle.
The Herald was invited to attutul a
big birthday dinner at the home of A.
V. Tooley near Hibbs. Sunday in
honor of the coming of ago of the first
Kopublican voter in Mr. Tooley's fam-
ily of five staunch Kopublican lads. A
number of guests wore invited and a
big time was planned and all who know
Mr" and Mrs. Tooley were nssured a
flue time for their ability to'enterttiin
is welPknown. We regret being un-
able to avail ourselves of the hospitality
of this genial host and hostess and
rovel in the luxuries of fried chicken

Ralph Frame met with a serious ac
cident on the Fourth lie was shoot-
ing some largo firecrackers and one
exploded in his hand resulting in blow-
ing off the ends of the? first and second
lingers of the left hand so that it was
necessary to amputate them at the
middle joint. Ha was also burned
about tho body. It was a serious acci-
dent but the lad Isgollingalo'ngiiicoly.
Meade News.
Items like tho above are always fre-
quont after the Glorious Fourth but
what boy would givo up tho fun of fire
crackers for a few fingers. Luckily the
day passed in Beaver without any
serious results.
So far as known ther's nothing cheap-
er than a smilo nor do wo know of
anything moro valuable according to
tho energy spent in it. A smile from
husband to wife or from w!fo to hus-
band from.paront to child or child to
parent from friend to feiend a smile
who can tell its worth? Both the
giver and receiver are blessed thereby
rills would indeed bo a su4 world were
it not for its smile of probation. A
smilo is as easy produced as a frown
and a thousand times better. Tho mer-
chant neecls a smile in his buhine&s a
physician's smile is. sometimes better
than his medicine; a smile of a friend
'a better than his gold; thu smilo of
the people is the sunshine of the world.
When wo got so wo cannot smile when
tho world gets so cold that wo cannot
bog its smiles then indeed wc do feel
that the tiino has come to' go hence.

Everybody Celebrates.
The Glorious Fourth has oneo more
i'0me and gone -liroeraekors sky rock
ets base bal1 horse racei red lemo-
nade long winded speelies and all
ind the commemoration of the day in
lioavor has passed into history as n
"huwjing success." ("Howling" on
the" first day and "Success" on the
second . )
A two-days celebration wiii. planned
for Beaver which was too much for the
short time in which it was gotten nj
and ample preparations could not be
made for the lirst duy. However thus'
whooiuiiu wureVntortiiiiicd with a ball
game and a dance at night.
The morning of the Fourth dawned
bright and clear and Boavnritos who
slumbered mid slept on their downj
couch were awakened at sunrise by a
salute winch bado them bo up and do-
wmcl
prcpa
i'lg to prepare for tho host that would
arrive carly and stay Into to partake of
our lospltality. Ample 'preparation
were niado to take care of and entertain
the crowd on that day and It Is need-
less to say tiio crowd was not missing
Early in tho day the groundc were
crowded and still tho people come by
cart-loads buggy-loads wagon-loads
and any other old way to get there
Everybody .and his aunts uncles anil
cousins como and brought tl.o babies.
Oh it was a glorious and a jolly con
courso.
The " big doin's" commenced with a
band concert then followed the an-
tique parade. Elbert Olift carpenter
drew first prizo for tho best display.
At tho grounds a patriotic program was
rendered all of which was osuiHiially
good. Hon. J.'W. Culwell Indulgeddn
(lights of oratory and made a rousing
good speech winding up with a high
compliment to thu Beaver MUitary
band and their competent leader Prof
tjlovpr. Other speakers yere;Rov.W
B. Leonard Attorney Wellborn nnd .L-
R. Quinn. The musical part of (lie
program was especially lino thanks foi
which is largely duo Mrs. Minn Glover
violinist and Mss Pearl Glover pianist
both of whom are high class musiciani
and capable of entertaining any crowd
The afternoon was given over to
sports and the complete program was
carried out. The potato sack wheel-
barrow and egg races greased polo
ladies' nail driving contest horse laces
ball gunies foot racoj doll racks ten-
uis ton rtininont and many other amuse
ments each came in on tho program
and were disposed of to the pleasure ol
all. In tho evening the dance was the
closing feature of tho big day and was
indulged by many who had not "chased
lite rabbit chaso that squirrel cjiuso
thaU pretty girl 'round tho world" for
many n day. Eyon 901110 of tho "sanc-
tinioniouh" found it difficult to make
their feet beliarq.
Taken all in ail wo feel justified in
saying that the Bund boys deserve
credit for tho manner in which thej
conducted U10 celebration. J t must be
remembered that nearly every member
of tho band arc business men who liave
more than uiiough to do to attend to
their own institutions and criticism
should bo withheld for what was or was
not doue'o'u thu 3rd After all theru is
but one fourth day of July and why trj
to spread it out over two or three days.
We say threo cheers and a tiger for
the Beaver Military Band.
