A Correction.
In our report of the Beaver County

Beaver last week wo were In error as
to the second and third champions. We
also gave Bluo Mound the credit of
winning first honors through tho cham-

error. Miss tay received first honors
and the gold medal but she is not from
Blue Mound but a pupil of district No.
23 Miss Maude Jenkins of distriot
No. 123 won second honors while Rich-
ard Moore of Beaver district No 22

We gladly mako tho correction and
give honor to whom honor is duo.

Big Hail Storm.
A terrilic hail storm accompanied by
a downpour of rain and somo wind
visited the section northwest of Fibril
In the vicinity of tlw Wollman farm
Saturday afternoon and did consider
able damage Tho storm covered a
scope of several miles to the south and
west and hail fell to a depth of four to
six Inches Tho hailstones were large
many of them measuring two or mora
Inches In diameter. Trees wero strip-
ped of their leaves and blooms and all
vegetation beaten Into tho ground.
Stock which whs not protected wero
badly bruised and somo younx calves
colts and many chickens killed. Win-
dow glass oven whero protected vtlth
screen wero smashed and buildings
slightly damaged.
The storm was the most severe which
over visited that section of tho country
and had it come a few weeks later
would havo wrought havoc to many
grain fluids and gardens. As ty Is con-
siderable damage was dono.
Seventy-Six.
Last Sunday the writer was feeling a
little lonesome nlthough there was tho
usual number t)f people moving about.
Wo were not thinking of time past or
present but ''sort 'o wishing" that
somebody would drop tn nnd swap a
few yams with us. Along about neon
our wishes wero granted. Mr. nnd Mrs.
J. It. Qulnn and J. II. Thomas dropped
In. They nctcd "kind 'o queer" and
had hardly gut seated when they asked
mo what day of the month It was nnd
wanfd to know where I was seventy-
slx years ago ami other fool questions
like that Finally we got It Into our
think tank that t hero nns somo object-
in asking all thcra questions and then
It struck mo all at onco that this was
April 23 1012 and it was my birthday
and that I was sovonty-stx years old.
Now I shouldn't bo blamed for forget
ting that I had a birthday because I
had never been scvonty-slx years old
before In .til my life.
And so tho way was opened for on
agreeable visit. They wMicd mo "many
returns of tho day" and told mo that
somo others had sent kindly greetings;
presented us somo nice flowers and
handed us a splendid spray of I.llnc
bloom sent by Miss Maudu Thomas
with kindly greeting. So the old man
found that ho was not entirely forgot-'
ten and that kindly words from tho
lips of a truo friend are of moro value
than glittering jewels and much fine
gold.
Old people generally havo plenty to
talk about and Comrades Qulnn nnd
Thomas and myself of course had t
talk a little about tho war times of
fifty years ago when ''m put down the
Rebellion." Aud then came tho best
time of all when Mrs. Smith asked us
Into tho dining room whoro there was
a table with plenty of eatables of var
ious kinds spread out for our benefit.
Wo were glad to see that time had not
spoiled the ability of our comrades to
reduce tho supplies in tho commissary
department to a low ebb. In fact they
ato "quite a few bites."
We spent a Jolly afternoon together
and tall'cd a littlo of tho times when
Beaver vas different in many ways
from what It Is now ; when tho O. A K.
Post numbered well toward a hundred
mqmbars ; when a detail for care of tho
sick was easy to fill. Now there aro
only a fow of the old comrads left and
scarcely one of thorn is ablo to caru for
himself. It will not be long now till
taps will sound for tho last one of us
and lights will bo out In overy tent and
the only rovelllo will bo the call to the
biviouao of the dead.
And so wo give thanks for friends
nnd ask no bettor sight to cheer us In
old ago than faces 6f true friends who
visit us and cheer its with hearty hand
elbsp and cheorlng words.
In these strenuous days of grasping
for dollars we are too apt to neglect
the sick and the lonely. Thero Is migh-
ty llttlo comfort in dollars to one whoo
shoulders aro bowed with tho weight
of years and sickness but tho clasp of a
loving hand and cheering words of
hopo do mucn to help tho doctor In his
fight with death for the lifo of tho
patient.
So thank God for friends and we
hope to seo many of them and seo them
often. Tho latch string is out In fact
tho door-latph Is broken nnd won't
work so come right in and show us
tho light of your countenance.
I S. Drummond.

Balko Consolidated School
District No. 75. Beaver County.
We are proud of the fact that IScaver
county has a number of Consolidated
schools that cannot be excelled by" any
In Oklahoma among them being: Hea
ver No. 22: LaKemp No. 48: Uluc
Mound No. 71; Ilalko No 75; Glou
dale No. 81 and Bethany No 81.
Whllo all tho above schools are doing
vory good work Indeed the writor was
greatly pleased with a Isit mnde to
the Ilalko school last week and desires
to tell of Homo of the work being dono
at that place.
Although Balko Is the youngest con-
solidated district in the county being
less than n year old It gives promise of
being ono of the best rural districts In
Oklahoma. While the weather has beon
very severe the past year and Balko
has been handicapped for want of room
and supplies the work has been excep-
tionally strong and 1'rin. Otis L. Sic-
Cord and assistants Mrs. A. Steele and
Miss Emma Holm deserve great credit
for the v.-ork they have been doing. In
order to aid tho larger boys who have
found it necessary todrop out ot school
on account of farm work 1'rin. McCord
has been conducting a flight school
The sessions opon at 7 p. m. and con-
tinue till (1 o'clock1 Quite a number
of tho larger boys are taking advan-
tage of .this opportunity to adanco
their educations '
