It is often so much easier to advise some one
lu.w to spend his money than it is to spend your
own.
You know what the other fellow ought to
spend but with you it's different. Now any ad-
vice we may have to offer will not be along this
line at all. Our advice is not along the lines of
spending money but rather in saving it. Any
body can spend money but it takes a wise one to
save it. There is nothing like opening an account
at a reliable bank to assist you in saving.
Add to the account regularly and you will be
surprised how easy it will grow. Start now no
matter how small.

MOCANE DISTRICT RAISES $8.
030.00 IN W. S. 8. DRIVE
In our report of the districts in
the county which had made their
quota in the W. S. S. drive we re-
ported Mocane as having raised
their quota of $2742.00. The report
was given to us in this way but was
in error. Mocane's quota was 13-
650.00 and they raised It. Their dis-
trict Is school district No. 101. We
are Indebted to Mrs. R. A. Maple for
the information and are glad to make
the correction.

COUNTY RED CROSS MEMBER-
SHIP An audit of the County Red Cross
secretary's books last week showed
a membership of 4593 for Beaver
county which Is very good. Of this
number 4226 are Christmas (of
annual) members 359 magazine
members and eight contributing
members. This Is a splendid record
for a little more than a year's organi-
zation. At the Christmas drive at
which time every member regard-
less of when he Joined Is expected to
join again and those not members are
excused from Joining only because
of absolute financial inability this
number should be still greatly in-
creased. This year at least the
slogan of Beaver County Chapter A.
R. C will be: "Every man woman
and child of Beaver county a mem-
ber of the Hed Cross" and we must
teach It. Mis. F. C. Tracy of
Beaver has accepted the chairman;
shin of the County Membership Com
mittee and will have charge of the
Christmas drive. Her well-known
motto of knowing no such word as
fall assures the.succcsB of the
Christmas drive membership. She
and 'her able corps of i assistants
whom she 'will hnve'n llne-ln ample
time; wlll.prove 100 per cent efficient
of that we feel assured
Beaver County Chapter A. R. C
Is fortunate in being able to add two
other additional leaders pf special
work the past week. Mrs. W. T.
Quinn has consented to take the
chairmanship of the Junior depart-
ment. Her name has long been
linked with the Junior in Sunday
School aud Chautauqua work and one
better fitted for this place would have
been hard to find. By the opening
of the school year when the Junior
work is expected to commence in
earnest Mrs. Quinn will be ready
and prepared to take up that depart-
ment and see that every school In
Beaver county goes on record as a
Junior Auxiliary. This will mean
much work but Mrs. Quinn is fully
capable and equal to the task. Ths
Juniors will find in her a most com-
petent chairman.
The other special department is
the Canteen service. Mrs. J. E. Spur-
rier has been selected as chairman
of this service and she will organize
her corps of assistants and be pre-
pared In future to take care of work
in that department on short notice.
While the need for canteen service Is
much greater in chapters located on
main lines of railroads where troop
trains are constantly passing yet
there Is a need too for the service
here. The chapter's intention is that
no men leave this section without
being seen off by the Canteen Service
corps and that refreshments be pro-
vided for them if necesaary. Whether
there Is need for refreshments or not
the workers are expected to be at the
train in uniform to do anything
they may to send the boys off in the
best of spirts and to assure them
that the Red Cross is with them from
the moment they are called from
their homes until they are honorably
discharged and there is no further
need for their service. Mrs. Spurrier
Is especially well fitted for the chair-
manship of this work and no' need
of the soldier boy wtl) escape her at-
tention. She Is commander-in-chief
of the canteen forces and when Bhe
calls her workers whether day or
night to serve here or elsewhere
they are expected to respond and will
do so unless reasonably excused for
our women are not slackers in any
sense.

CHAUTAUQUA OPENS TODAY
Everything is in readiness for the
big Chautauqua which opens in
Beaver this afternoon. While the
advance sale of tlcketB has not been
so good as last year yet a large num-
ber of our business people have
gotten squarely behind the move-
ment as usual and will make it go.
Some opposed the chautauqua this
year but since it was signed up for
at the close of our very successful
chautauqua last year and further
because It was personally endorsed
by President Wilson and the continu-
ation these high-class entertain-
ments' heartily approved by him It
was decided not to attenmpt to can-
cel the date which might not have
been possible even though tried.
Personally the Herald is in favor
of the4 chautauqua. The entertain-
ment provided is educational and
high-class and In these days of stren-
uous rwar time one needs something
uplifting and worth while to divert
their mind from the thought of
carnage and misery of war on which
we dwell most of our waking hours.
Another f reason we favored the
chautaudua was because we think we
know Jhi. people of Beaver and sur-
round)JX country. They are going'to
spend "tnelr money Just as long as
they have a dollar and someway they
always have It' though how Is some-
times more than we know. If It were
not for the chautauqua it would go
for some '49 show or other tent
variety which at the best is not .
ceedlngly uplifting or tending to pro-
mote better living or morals. Why
decry the chautaqua and patronize
the cheap tent shows always more or
less rotten? No use to say It would
not be done. Even those who oppose
the chautauqua know that a great
number of our people would spend
their money for this low-class stuff If
they didn't spend It for the chautau-
qua. Perhaps they will anyway If
given the opportunity and we
shouldn't be surprised If some of
those who talked the loudest against
the chautauqua and refused to buy
tickets saying the money should go
for Bonds W S. S. and the Red
Cross would bo on the front row
should a cheap show come to town
and if the matter were investigated
they are about the shortest buyers of
Liberty Bpnds W. S. S or donators
to the Red Cross. It has become a
habit with some people and a
mighty cheap one too to commence
to talk Red Cross Bonds or W. S. S.
when' they are asked to promote any
public benefit. It would be all well
and good if they were really the con-
tributors to these things but since
they are not and everybody knows
it it Is mighty disgusting to those
who know to listen to their lingo.
The ones who are really doing these
things are doing their part too to
keep business moving and are not
talking about their intense patrio-
tism A Bond W. S. S. or contribu-
tion to the Red Cross actually made
Is worth a lot more than an endless
harangue about what we want to do
for such causes but never do it al-
though amply able to do so and
spending money for other and unnec-
essary things.
ATTENTION THRESHERMEN
Under authority of an Act of Con-
gress Approved August 10th 19n
the Chief of the Bureau of Markets
has been Instructed to secure month-
ly reports from threshers showing the
amount of wheat threshed and the
amount ot other cereals threshed at
the close of the season.
A record book f or keeping the kind
and amount of grain threshed for
each farmer has been prepared by the
Department of Markets and the
county agent has been supplied with
a sufficient number of these to mtet
the needs of Beaver county.
For the convenience ot the thresh-
ermen a number of these books are
being placed with the banks at La-
keinp Beaver Forgan Knowles
Gate. Balk'o and Gray and any
thresherman in Beaver county can
secure one of these records by asking
for It at any of the above tnaraed
banks. The county agent also has a
supply on hand at his office in the
court house at Beaver where they
can be had by calling or writing for
them.
This ruling applies to all threshing
machines that run in Beaver county
and must be observed.

REAVER BAND ORGANIZES
We are glad to publish the good
news that Beaver is to again have a
band and -this time we are told It Is
to be A No. 1. Within the past few
weeks a number of band men of much
ability have become residents ot
Beaver and it Is possible to organize
one of the best bands we have had
for' many a day F. C. Smith of the
Liberal Co-operative Creamery
station here a a musloJan of note
and former leader of 'the Liberal
band. J. I. Corbett ot the Panhandle
Department Store is alaa a band
man being a baritone player W. A.
Gamble of the Pioneer Paint Btore
don't lay down the sticks to anyone
as a snare .drummer so with 'these
additions and. the 'men formerly of
our band we have a splendid organi-
zation. Those of the band are: F. C.
Smith F. C. Tracy Herbert Smith
Harry Cayler Harry Peckhani
cornets; J. N. Sinclair tuba; J. I
Corbett baritone; D. M. 'Kile Dave
Kile altos; J. W. Webb tenor; H.
M Bullck trombone; H. E. Nlles
clarinet; W. A Gamble snare durm;
Frank Shockley base drum. There
may be others whoso names we failed
to receive but this line up certainly
gives us a good band and Judging
from their practices we believe they
are going to give ur some music
worth while. They should be en-
couraged and supported In the right
way v
SOME SUCCESS AS
A FARMERETTE
The Herald editor claims that she
Is some success assa farmerette par-
ticularly the season Just past. Last
fall the lure of high wheat prices
was too strong to resist so we went
in for wheat on a share basis letting
out seed. This week we reaped the
returns. For an investment ot
$386.55 In seed wheat we this week
received a check for $31.05 being
one-fourth the crop produced. Well
anyway we are feeling good for the
little dab we got sure brought a good
price $2.00 per bushel. We'll for-
get the $354.90 and think about what
a speck we would have made had the
ciop been a bumper one and the price
$200. Misery loves company too so
there Is some consolation in the fact
that we were not the only one who
lost out on wheat last year even If
some of our good farmers like Andy
Crabtree did raise a good crop which
Is testing out 61 and better and for
which he Is getting top prices. We
can't all be lucky always.
