BEAVER WINS THE DAY.
Three basket ball victories in one
day is the record which the boys and
girls of Beaver high school made Sat-
urday in their games at Gate and
Knowles At Gne. Beaver won both
the boys' and girls' games the boys
winning by a score of 10 to 4 and the
girls carrying oil the honor 8 to 7 At
Knowles the Beaver girls were again
victors defeating the opposing team
18 to 2 but the Knowles boys took the
game from the Heaver boys by a score
of 18 to 0
Those who witnessed the games say
that all teams conducted themselves
admirably throughout the entire four
games only the most friendly compe-
tition was exhibited and there was no
rudeness or unbecoming conduct on
the part of either the Gate Knowles or
Beaver players. We are glad to hear
such a report coming from our boys
aud girls and it speaks well for those
having their training In charge un-
less they can be trained to enter Into
all games aud sports like true ladies
and gentlemen aud conduct themselves
as such whether graced with victory
or doomed to defeat they hud best not
Indulge in sports of any kind for while
they develop their physical body with
these splendid games they should
likewise develop moral courage and
self-control to acept defeat when it
comes honorably with the same grace
with which they enjoy victory.

BEAVER COUNTY HAS HAD WONDER.
FUL CROPS.
Taken as a whole Beaver county lint
had Wonderful crops this year Begin-
ning with the wheat harvest tlio farm
ers have been busy early and late al
most every day taking care of tfiolr
crop and htoring it for better priccK
or hauling it In to market. Many
thousand of dollars worth of wheat
has been sold and yet the great bulk
of the 10U crop hna not been marketed.
Tons and tons of liroomcoru liac also
been sold yet by far the greater per
cent of the crop Is jet In th hnnds of
the grower These two Items nlone
represent n vast value mid been the
mcaus of placing many thousands of
dollars In circulation In ltener coun-
ty' thin fall. AVhen tho entire crop for
the season is finally marketed the mnr-
keted reeelnts therefrom will ntmmut
high up into the hundreds of thousand
of dollars. In addition to tho wheat
mid broom corn there comes the knllir
maize and feteritn crops which will
b the greatest ever grown within the
borders of Bcn'er county The yield
In these 'crops has pimply been im-
mense. Thousands of ncrcs planted
toTthcso grains will produce from -10
to 70 bushels per ncru of jthe threshed
grain in addition to a wonderful
amount of roughness and when the
value of both grain and forage is com-
puted tliee products too are going tu
represent a value high up in the dollar
marks. Another thing never before
in the agricultural history of this coun-
ty have the farmers had swell excel-
lent weather as u whole in wrfieh to
harvest their crops. They have been
enabled to spend almost tho entire
time lu the fields and tako care of
every bushel of grain produced. This
hai been a great benefit too for often
even after crops hud matured the
farmers have suffered big lotes In not
being able to take care of them at the
right time. This year they will be
able to get It nil and when the final re-
turns nre in and 'the crops all market-
ed many are going to be able to meet
their obligations In fine linpe and
haw ii nice little surplus toearry them
over another year. Those -who will
take the trouble tv In Obligate will
llnd the farmers of Beaver cuuuty
producing crops about as abundant and
us freijiiLMillj as In produced anywhere.
Every counlrj has it failures nnd we
must have ours now and them but on
the the whole we think this section
has beep extremely fortunate and that
wohae erj little cause for complaint.
What other section hus done better
than Beaver county the past five or
bis years or longer.
THE "WHY? TO BRIDGE INSPECTION
The IvauliOH News wishes to know
why at tho November session of the
Board of County Commissioners R
Hagau was allowed $27.00 for oversou-
ing the building of the Gate and
Knowles bridges nine days while T. P
McLaiu was allowed $23.00 for overseo-
lug the building of tho Nelll bridge
fourteen days. In asking the question
the inference is inado that there was
something crooked in the transaction
and a relleallonIscast upon Mr. Hagau
for presenting tho bill as well as on
the Board of County Commissioners
for allowing the same. The News
might just as well havo criticised Mr.
MuLalu for requiring fourteen days to
inspect one bridge while Mr Hagau
inrpected two bridges in nine days
and asked why MuLuin didn't present
hit claim on the satno basis of time as
did Mr. Hagau which would havo been
only four and one-half days.
As a matter of fact there was noth-
ing wrong with the claims filed by
either Commissioners MoLaln or Ha
gan. The Neill bridge was near the
home of Commissioner McLaln aud he
was thus enabled to oversee the build-
ing of the bridge without any great
expense. He did not put in full time
the entire fourteen days and Hied his
bill accordingly for only $25 00. The
Gate aud Knowles bridges were some
distance from the homo of Commissi-
oner Hagan and he was thus compelled
to put in full time as well as being put
to considerable expense while overseer
ing the work. He only required nine
days to oversee botli bridges and his
charge of $37.00 was altogether reason-
able. Had Hagan put in fourteen
days on each bridge and charged at
tho rate of $3.00 nor day for the work
it might have been different but when
he did the oveseelng of two bridges In
a little more than half the time and at
a cost of only $2 00 mora than was paid
McLaln for overseeing of the one Nulll
bridge there is surely no Just cause
for complaint. So for as wo can see
there. was nothing wrong with the
claims of either McLaln or Hagan and
the Ivanhoe News man seems to be
"straining at a gnat and swallowing a
camel." We presume If Hagdu had
