Easy To Advise
It is often so much easier to advise some one
h(.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 wo may have to offer will not be along this
line at all. Our advice is not along the Ilns 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 bo
surprised how easy it will grow. Start now no
matter how small.

LOSES FlftGER FROM'GUN SHOT
An adopted son of J. E.'Kepple of
the east half of the county and who
was en route to Colorado with a par-
ty of boys lost a finger in a gun-shot
accident near Gray Monday. The
young man was brought to Beaver by
Dr. Fewkes and assisted by Dr.
Long the finger was amputated
Tuesday. The cause of the accident
was not clear the young man having
had his hand over tho end of the bar-
rel when the gun which was an auto-
matic was discharged bi caking the
bone and tearing away the tendon so
that amputation was necessary.
SCHOOL OPENS MONDAY
It seems almost unbelievable that
the summer has flown away and it is
again time for the school year to
commence but the same is true.
School opens here Monday. At many
other places school opening is de-
layed a week and at othcis until the
first of October in order to give more
time for crop work but having a
nine months' term it was thought
best to commence the Beaver school
promptly September 1st . Time flies
no question about it even if one
don't get to take a summer vacation
as has been the fate of The Herald
editor.

Conserve Your Money
It is just as vital that the wealth of the citizens of this coun-
try be conserved as that any other necessity be conserved to
aid in the winning of the Wuk
Money is the gi cutest requirement of the Government j the
absolutely paramount commodity the essential thing which
we can all have u part in providing.
The Capital Issues Committee Was
Created to Help Conserve Money
The Capital Issues Committee! has legal jurisdiction over
all issues in excess of $100000 and has requested thut nil
issues of $100000 or less be submitted to 4he District Com-
mittee for upprovul.
It'will be regarded ns an unpatriotic act for any stock to
be sold which has not received the 'permission of the Cap-
ital Issues Committee and nil citizens nro asked to co-
operate with the Committee by refusing to buy any stock
which has not been submitted to the Committee and received
the proper permit. '
Insist Upon Seeing the Permit
Before Buying Any
"When you arc asked to buy sock or bonds in any com-
pany insist upon seeing the permit of the Capital Issues
Committee for its sale. Do noi accept any statement that
it is all right that tho permit Js fn the offices of the com-
pany. DO NOT BUY ANY STQCK unless the prop'er per-
mit is produced for your inspection.
Do not trade your LIBERTY BOND? for arty stock no
matter if a permit for its sale has been issued of not. The
boys at the front have enlisted for tho duration of the
"War. Surely you should enlist your money without res-
ervation. '
You owe to the Government your co-operation in providing
the money heeded to carry on the War and the Capital
Issues Committee helps you to avoid non-essential invest-
ments. 4
Please do all that you can to assjst the Government in this
direction.

GOVERNMENT REGULATES
NEWSPAPER SUBSCRIPTIONS
A ruling has been nnnounced by
the War Board regulating subscrip
tions to weekly newspapers. In fu
ture no weekly newspaper is permit-
ted to continue sending the paper to
subscribers for a longer period than
three months after the expiration of
their subscription. Unless renewal
is made within that time the paper
must be discontinued. In addition a
ruling has been made prohibiting the
sending of free copies or copies to
exchanges and where the publication
is larger than eight pages the size
must be diminished 20 per cent. No
new papers can be established during
the period of the war. All these
rulings are necessary on account of
the shortage of print paper and for
the conservation of materials labor
etc. If this don't meet the needs fur-
ther curtailment will be made.
In compliance with the above The
Herald will get mailing lists in shape
as quickly as possible. All subscrib-
ers will be notified at least one
month in advance and unless their
renewal is received at this office an
or before the dute of expiration M
their subscription we will take it that
thev do not desire to continue as sub
scribers and shall disconinu4 thehr
paper. we-wu-jun. orujr pteet- u
requirements' of the Government but
will go them one better and instead
of giving in extension of three
months will notify subscribers in am-
ple time in advance and without they
renew will discontinue all subscrip-
tions at the expiration of the time
paid for. This is not only a wise
move on the part of the Government
to conserve print paper labor etc.
but is' also the only business-like plnn
for publishers during these days of
extreme high prices at least. If a
reader wants the paper he should bo
willing to pay -for It. The amount is
small if paid by the year but if al-
lowed to pile up for several years is
harder to meet and is often left'un
paid by those who would not think of
refusing tw.yjnent of any other obli-
gation. uilirriptions at the best do
not nay for the blank paper on which
the paper is printed and for the mail-
ing and-postage. When u great per
cent of such remain unpaid and are
continued year after year it eats into
the business at a tremendous rate.
Ever since the increase in the cost
of production The 'Herald haa
planned to put a pay-in-advance sys-
tem into effect but had not gotten
round to it. Now that the Govern-
ment requires it we shall have to find
the time to do so and we believe it
will be more satisfactory to both sub-
scriber and publisher. A reasonable
time is allowed publishers in which
to adjust their lists. The Herald will
plnn to hnve the system thoroughly
installed by January 1st 1910 and
after that date will run on a strictly
cash-in-advnnce and stop-when-your-time-is-up
basis. In the meuntime
subscribers could assist us grently by
coming in and squaring up their ac-
counts and renewing for n year in
advance Otherwise we shall have to
mail out statements which in addi-
tion to the postage of 3 cents each
incuts quite an expense in time pa-
per and envelopes.
The Herald has continued a long
time on the pay-us-you-plcase basis.
Now that the Government prohibits
us from extending Unlimited credit
we trust our subscribers will remem-
ber past favors ond be prompt in
making settlement. We shall en-
deavor to keep The Herald up to its
past standard and Improve thut
standard wherever" possible. Your
assistance and co-operation will be
appreciated.

BREAKS WRIST CRANKING FORD
Miss Sadie Beauchamp who makes
her home with Mrs. Herchel Wright
is suffering from a broken wrist
which she sustained in cranking a .
Ford.
The Herald is in receipt of a letter
from' ''somebody" from "somewhere "
in Oklahoma" In which comments
are mado as to the disloyalty of cer-
tain citizens. Such information does
us or Uncle Sam very little good. If
there are those who know of disloy-
alty and pro-Germanism on the part
of others' they should be loyal enough
themselves to report the matter per-
sonally and not hide behind an an-
onymous letter by signing themselves
"Uncle Sam's Booster." Uncle Sam
wants boosters who are brave and
patriotic and not the cowardly kind
that would hide behind a nom de
plume.
Mrs. J. E. Martin of Enid is here
on a visit to her sister Mrs. B. F.
Kennedy. Sheuas formerly Miss
Hilda Morrison and had visited Mra.
Kennedy here before having made
many friends all of wham Will be
more than glnd to sec her again.
Harry D. Truax has disposed of his
hatdware business at Forgan selling
to Messrs. Meador and Wentworth.
Shortage of labor mado It hard for-
Mr. Truax to hold establishments
both here and at Forgan hence his
decision to sell.W. II. Gillilnnd who was employed
by the Peoples' Store resigned his
place last week to take employment
with the Big Jo Lumber Company.
Ho will work in the yard here until
September 1st after which he will be
transferred as manager of a yard at
another point.
Mrs. A. J. Crabtree Is enjoying a
visit this week from her sister Mrs.
Frank Redford of Clinton Missouri
who arrived the first of the week. She
had been visiting her daughter Mrs.
Frank Horn at Lamar Colorado.
Mr. Crabtree drove out after her
making the trip in his Ford.
