Little Drops of Water
Remember how it goes: "Little drops of water
little grains of sand make a mighty ocean and
the pleasant land."
It teaches the value of little things. Little sav-
ings little dimes piled up till they become dollars
and dollars in turn saved till you have enough of
them to buy a little of that "pleasant land." There
is no better investment than land' Population
continues to increase but there is no more land
than there was a thousand years ago. Our bank
will help you to save your dimes and dollars and
eventually show you whore you cau profitably
invest them in land If you want it.

ANOTHER PRINTER FLEW THE
COOP
The editor of The Herald returned
home Monday night from a short
holiday vacation Bpent with relatives
In Arkansas to And our print shop
locked and printer gone. 8omo fine
business that on the part of a print-
er who was being paid all the wages
he asked and was certainly not be-
ing over-worked tor the reason that
our absence from the office came at
the holiday time when we" Issue only
enough of a paper to retain Its legal
status. When we left we did not ex-
pect to return until the latte'r part of
this week but fortunately came back
sooner. A printer who will lock up
a shop and walk out without cause
"(tiring the absence of an employer. Is
' certainly a menace to the profession
" and should bo boycotted by employ-
It? "NV ers. This fellow's name (white here)
was C. H. Raymond. He rec-
ommends himself highly particularly
as to his Sunday school and church
proclivities but he certainly did this
office an unjustified and dirty trick.
4 LEVI'S TO RETURN
Word has been received by Beaver
friends that Dr. Levi and family are
to return to Beaver. It Is understood
.that the family will live here so that
the children may have the benefit of
our excellent schools but that Dr. Le-
vi' will locate at Liberal being con-
nected with the hospital there. We
should not be surprised to see Dr. Le-
vi re-open his hospital here and we
know a lot of people who would be
delighted It he would decide to do
so. Beaver Is glad to welcome the
return1 of the Levi's and here's hop-
la' that the Doctor may re-establish
the hospital.
LEWIS MOOHE TO'NAVY
Lewis Moord left this week to cn-
'llst In the naval service and will prob-
ably take up tho machinist work It
there Is an oponlng for him. The
boys' keop going into service one by
Aftta. It's the manly thing to do but
-(it's hard. All honor to the boys in
blue and khaki.

H. N. LAWSON
Mr. and Mrs. Ben Smith and Mrs.
Jennie Booth were In this week from
the Twin Mounds neighborhood
transacting business in the county
Beat and looking after Red Cross
matters. Tho Twin Mounds Branch
was recently organized with a sub-
stantial membership and is starting
out with every Indication of doing ex-
cellent work.
B. O. Gingham - of Logan was
among the farmers who transacted
business In the county seat yester-
day. While here he bad his name
added to our Big Book. Mr. Bine-
ham formerljr took The Herald but
he tried to get along without It. You
see how well he succeeded. No use
talking Beaver county folk can't
keep house without that old reliable
household comfort The Beaver Her-
ald. What use o trv!
bllas Beuuchamp who has been
working In the eastern part of tho
state and In Kansas for some months
returned home last week for a visit
with his children hore. He was ac
companied by his daughter Mrs. M.
L. Gertsch and two children of Smith
Center Kansas who came to spend
the holidays here also. Mr. Gertsch
will come later and accompany his
family home. Mr. Beauchamp will
probably remain here the rest of the
winter at least and perhaps perman-
ently. The Kaiser's order to American
housewives would be "Waste food.
Do not substitute foods." Are you
in the Kaiser's service?
Napoleon wisely said that an army
fights on its stomach but he did not
mean an empty stomach.
Idle remarks which a year ago
might have passed unnoticed may
prove a boomberang in these times
when one ia neither for or against
America.

MORE THAN 2500 CHRISTMAS MEMBERS SECURED
Beaver county dd jus as wo confidently expected sho would
do in tho Red Cross Christmas Membership Drive went Over
the Top with colors flying t Our quota was 2337. Complete re-
turns are not yet tabulated (that is some job) but a membership
of 2500 is assurred at this time and the final returns will proba-
bly exceed that number.
This is an excellent showing and one of which wo are justly
proud but there is yet work to be done. There are still many
people in Beaver county who are not members of tha Red Cross.
Let the workers not stop till every man woman and child In Bea-
ver county financially able to do so has become a member of the
Red Cross. J

The grandest opportunity ever
made avallablo for women for the Im-
provement of their stations is pro-
sonted by the war situation. By ap-
plication to duty or by diligent study
they may fit themselves for moro lu
crative positions. Woman's work
will provo to be a great tactor In win-
ning the war and It would bo a shame
to womanhood In these critical days
tor there to be an Idle woman. Evory
mnn and woman In America who Is
able to work should get to work vol
untarily or bo compelled to do so.
