You hear it said of some men that their word
is as good as their bond and it's a line thing to
say of any man.
But did you ever stop to think that no matter
how good your word may be there is something
better? If you owe a bill at the store and pay it
in cash and the merchant tries to collect the
amount again your word might be good that you
had paid it. But suppose you had an account at
the bank and paid by check. The cancelled check
would speak louder than your own word no mat-
ter how good your reputation. No getting around
that. It pays to pay by check.

FAYS $0.00 FOR GERMAN BULLET
Frank Laughrln paid the highest
price for an ordinary bullet used In a
German rifle except the boys who
are paying with their life and limb at
the front last week when L. H.
Knight discharged a German rifle bul-
let which he had procured in a battle
In No Man's Land. Mr. Laughrln of-
fered 6.00 for the bullet. It was
shot Into a tough oak timber. Only a
few small fragments remained the
bullet literally going to pieces.
BEAVER COUNTY
STILL DELINQUENT
We observe from the latest report
of the State Council of Defense that
Beaver county Is still delinquent hav-
ing paid nothing on her assessment
of $100 toward the maintenance of
that branch of war work In the state.
Why Is this 1.0? The assessment is
small and It should bo taken care of.
It don't look good to see Beaver
county's name In the delinquent col-
umn week after week. Wo urge the
"-(County Council of Defense to take
'care of this matter and to start the
fund instead of offering advice. The
Herald has $5 to contributo toward
the $100. What about it?
LOSES $15000 STOCK BY FIRE
Tho store of J. M. Cates at Tlffln
was burned to the ground Friday
night while Mr. Cates and wife were
at Beaver attending the lecture. The
loss will be nearly $15000. Thero
was no Insurance. Only the children
wero at homo when the flro Btarted
and did not know of it until it had
gained such headway as to bo uncon
trollable. They had retired and left
a Rayo kerosene lamp burning. It is
thought that tho Are started from it.
The loss Is a heavy one and one which
will bo deeply felt by Mr. Cates wip
ing out his accumulations or years.

ROUSING W. 8. 8. MEETING.
L. H. Knight a soldier in the
French army wounded in a gas at-
tack and being returned to this
country to recuperato took up war
work with tho Y. M. C. A. spoke here
Friday night to a packed house at
tho courthouse. He told of his thrill
ing experiences whllo on duty In the
front line trenches and exhibited
many battlefield souvairs which
were deeply Interesting. Mr. Knight
spoke in a forceful manner and every
word he spoke went home to the
hearts of his hearers. That ho Is
heart and soul with tho cause was
evidenced by every word and act and
ho made It plain that he expected all
America to back up the boys at the
front. Though not eloquent his talk
thrilled his hearers because they were
Impressed with his earnestness und
the truth of the tragedies which he
related. It Is not often that the peo-
ple of this section have opportunity
to hear one direct from the scene of
conflict and carnage speak and they
were stirred deeply. Wo need more
of such first-hand Information as to
our duty and responsibility. We
need to bo woko up.
Following tho talk of Mr. Knight
a strong appeal was mado by Rev.
J. E. Perkins Attorney Stacy Wells
and Attorney J. W. Culwell for the
sale of Thrift and War Savings
Stamps and in a remarkably short
time over $15000 worth wore sold.
This amount was added to after ad-
journment and the following days
the list being swelled to $21705.00
which Is exceedingly good. Beaver
never falls to "go over tho top" in
any matter of public benefit or Im-
provement and wo lived up to our
reputation in this instance.

SOMETHING DOING AT
GATE AND BUFFALO
Men who went from hero with
L. II. Knight stopping at Gate and
Buffalo to speak in the interost of
W. 8. S. report some excitement at
Gate and Buffalo. At Gate a man
drove up In his car during tho speak-
ing and left the engine running.
When asked to cut it oft be replied
"Go to ." The crowd didn't
go where he directed but they did go
after one of tho servants of the region
referred to and after chasing him 10
miles brought him back and mado
him apologize and salute tho flag.
At Buffalo the came thing occurred.
This time Knight himself went "over
tho top" of tho bandstand from which
ha was speaking and dragged the in-
suiter from his car giving him a
strong rebuke and making him salute
Old Glory. Wo havo been unable to
learn tho name of either offender
but whoever they may bo wo con-
sider it an added Insult to allow them
to salute our precious emblem of Lib-
erty Such despicable traitors are
unworthy to even touch tho folds cf
Old Glory. To our mind they Bhould
bo dealt with severely and It can't
bo made too sovero to suit us.
Good results in tho sale of Thrift
and War Savings Stamps were had at
both Gate and Buffalo.
WILL HIS STOP AT HITCHCOCK?
Woodward. flUIn Mm. or. un
Dear John A:
Am in Woodward and guess I will
go on to Hitchcock with Knight and
Will likelv be lrnnn in inv t
bo a "slacker" and the chnnrn n
raise some money for Uncle Sam is
beforo me. Beaver can get along
without me for n few days I guess.
Really I feel like I owe a few days
with Knight as a helper. Write me
at Woodward and it will be forward-
ed on to me.
Yours truly
JOHNATHAN E. PERKINS.
The above letter from Rev. Per-
kins was received by John A. Spohn
Tuesday. Rev. Perkins' congregation
ino .-tiemouisi people are more
than willing to lend their capable
paBtor to Uncle Sam. He says he Is
golrig on to Hitchcock. We who
know his enthusiasm wonder if It
will bo possible for him to turn back
there. If not we venturo his people
hore will arrange to get along with-
out him just as long as he can do
good work In tho W. S. S. campaign.
Being a Methodist he knows how to
get tho money and believe us he
Is getting It.

HFENDB W.00 'WHERE
91.00 WOULD HAVK DOIJFJ
As an example ot the economy
practiced by tho Board ot County
Commissioners in the matter of road
building our attention was caUl
this week to the fact that In bulldla
tbe stato road thru a part of t
third commissioners district
which leads to Liberal Kan. th
highway was laid out thru a regioa
which required the expenditure 'ot
$500 to put it In shape whero $1.0
would have boon sufficient had the
road been designated in another an
moro practical route. It Is scarcely
necessary to say that tho location
chosen and which required the loss of
$4.00 out ot every $5.00 expended
was closor to Commissioner Mc-
Lnln's farm than tho cheaper anil
moro practical highway would have
bcon. Tho stato road oxtends aloBtr
two iii iles ot McLaln's farm. Are
other farmers In his or other dis-
tricts so well provided with state
roads?
