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 follow 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.

WHY NOT CONSERVE PAPER
WASTED AT WASHINGTON?
While The Herald does not resent
the demand made upon it by the War
Board to assist in the conservation of
print paper by conforming- to the
rules laid down by that Board and
the editor of this paper is always
more than willing to do anything
within our means to assist in the win-
ning of the war yet when day after
day piles of paper come to this of-
fice thru the mails in the shape of
documents and letters from the vari-
ous departments and officials at
Washington and by far the great ma-
jority of such is absolutely useless
and finds its resting place in the
waste basket we can't help but feel
that it would be a good plan to con-
serve some of the paper wasted at
Washington. In the mail this week
four copies of Senator Sheppord'
speech against' Woman Suffrage same'
to this office all under the govern-
ment frank. One copy would have
been the greatest of plenty and so
"tor as we arc concerned was too
rTiuch. The paper consumed in those
three excess copies was absolute
waste to say nothing of the expense
of sending through the mail under
the government franking privilege.
If every newspaper received four
copies as did this office the waste was
some item. This is only one instance.
Every mail brings from six to twelve
such useless printed matter to this
office. Why not practice a little con-
servation along this line and allow
the newspapers which arc devoting a
large part of their space to war news
Liberty Bond Red Cross draft and
other war activity information more
freedom in the use of paper and mail-
ing privilege? If senators and con-
gressmen or anyone else "want to in-
flict their speeches on the public let
them at least pay postage on the
same and not congest the mails with
their franked stuff.
Mrs. Joe Tack and baby are here
this week. Mr. and Mrs. Tack are
now living in Liberal Kansas where
Joe is employed as machinist in the
Rock Island shops at that place.

THE HERALD IS FOR SALE
After sixteen yean at the helm of
this old Ship of State the editor of
The Herald it ready to ttep down and
out (at least we think we are) if a
purchaser can be found. There hat
been much of plea.ure and much
grief don't you forget it in those six-
teen years but our labors havo been
rewarded to a satisfactory degree by
profit and the knowledge of having
accomplished a few things at least for
the betterment of others besides our-
self. Much of our time the past year
regardless of the greatest labor short-
age we "have ever experienced has
been' given to the wprk of the Ameri-
can Red Cross in this county andTwe
like the work. With no dependents
and only our business investment
which represents a great share of the
earnings of our labors and labor we
havo; the .past sixteen yean 4o ho!d
us back from offering our entire ser-
vice to the Red Cross work for the du-
ration of the war we have determined
to sell if possible and take up some
line of War activity exclusively:
We do not have a run down shop or
one lacking in business to offer for
sale by any means but one worth the
price and can "show" prospective
buyers. Satisfactory terms can be ar-
ranged but must be absolutely gilt
edge. One of the best newspaper
propositions in the state and actually
worth far mora than the price asked.
Only those who mean business and
wholiava the money or can obtain se-
curity need apply. We have no shop
to give away or to loan to anybody
but we do want to sell and have a
splendid proposition for a live news-
paper man.
LOSES FINGERS IN ACCIDENT
Tom Boren son of Mr. and Mrs.
R. M. Boren who lives down the
river is minus a portion of two fing-
ers as the result of an accident one
day last week. Tom was assisting in
pulling out a car which had stalled
in the sand having tied his saddle
rope to the car and was pulling by
tho saddle horn when the rope
slipped and caught two fingers of his
right hand.
C. W. McKEAN Mmat. Camhter
BREAKS BOTH LIMBS
N. D. Ncff who lives two miles
south of Beaver met with a very
serious and painful accident Friday
of last week. While out near Gray
delivering oil and driving his large
International truck he placed the ma-
chine in intermediate gear and at-
tempted to get out of the truck when
he missed his footing slipped and fell
the rear wheel of the loaded truck
passing over both his limbs below the
knee crushing one badly and crack-
ing both bones in the other. Mr.
Neff was n short distance out from
Gray. With both limbs broken he
managed to pull himself into the
truck and run it back to town a feat
which must hatfe taken a whole lot
of nerve to perform. lie was brought
to his home immediately and the in-
jured members given attention. At
this time he is doing nicely and is
resting exceptionally well but con-
sidering the seriousness of his injury
it will be a long time before he is
able to be around again.
THOMPSON HOTEL SOLD
After more than twenty years of
continuous service under the manage-
ment of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Thomp
son (Jim and Ella) the Thompson
hotel changed hands this week Ben
Boguc and wife having purchased the
same and took charge at once
Mi-
and Mrs. Thompson will enjoy a well-
earned rest and will probably remove
rM.i.. rav. A-.. !..: . i.i
for land. It won't seem just right
around that old hostelry which origin
ally was one of the first of th.e pioneer
buildings of Beaver but which has
been greatly added to by the Thomp-
son's without seeing "Jim and Ella"
in charge but they have labored long
and faithfully and 'while Beaver
friends will regret to lose them yet
all feel that no pleasure they may
enjoy from now on out is too much
for them and will be glad to know
that they are comfortably located and
that they may be spared to long en-
joy the rest and pleasure which they
so richly deserve.
RICH LEONARD PROMOTED TO
LIEUTENANT
Beaver friends will be "glad to
know of the promotion of Rich Leon-
ard son of Rev. and Mrs. W. B.
Leonard and who is nn aviator. His
promotion was to lieutenant and in
his examination he ranked fifth of n
class of 'fifty which is indeed good.
Lieut Leonard has been transferred
to the Dayton Ohio aviation field.
He wijl probably go over seas soon.
He is certainly climbing the ladder of
success and Beaycr friends are proud
to note it. That he will be one of
Uncle Sam's best is expected by those
who know him. "Ace" Leonard we
predict" will be his record when he
gets over there. '
ENSIGN LEEON HAYDEN HERE
Ensign Lceon Hayden who has
been on the Pennsylvania the past
year is here to spend a furlough
with his parents and other relatives
near Balko. Ensign Hayden was re-
cently transferred from the Penn-
sylvania and given a commission. He
will go to Annapolis at the termina-
tion of his furlough October 5th
where he has been assigned for a
course in general navigation. Leeon
attended school at Beaver graduat-
ing here. He has many friends both
here and at his home at Balko who
are more than glad to see him and to
note his advancement.
FICKEL BUYS FORDSON
TRACTOR
E. L. Fickel is tiWutc; up the
ground at a lively rat d" this week with
a new Fordson tractor which he re-
cently purchased. He is convinced
that the tractor is tho only farm
"horse" and since its purchase is de-
veloping into a real tiller of the soil.
The call "back to the farm" is get-
ting almost too strong for Elmer to
resist in fact he is putting in a good
share of his time there now.
LIEUT. HEALY HERE
Lieut. Ledru Healy son of Mr. and
Mrs. Geo. H. Healy was here the
past week for a brief visit Lieut.
Healy has been transferred to the
aviation section nnd is now at Brooks
field near San Antonio Texas. He
was looking browned and stalwart
and as if the life was agreeing well
with him. Beaver friends were glad
to see him again but sorry hia stay
was of so short duration.
OFF TO SCHOOL
A number of Beaver boys left Mon
day to take up their school work at
O. U Among them were Harold and
Bernard Loofbourrow Basil and Har-
ry Peckham Irvin Moore Harry Cay-
ler and perhaps others whose names
we failed to get These boys are all
registered in tho new draft and will
probably go into the Students' Re-
serve Harvey Hill ex-editor of the Re-
publican at Gray was a Beaver call-
er Monday. Mr. Hill is now stop-
ping at Liberal Kansas with his
daughter and is working part time in
the Democrat oflkc'at that place. He
is a veteran newspaper man and can't
wean himself entirely' away from the
business.
Dr. and Mrs. L. L. Long and daugh-
ter Miss Lenoro left Sunday for
Kansas City and Columbia Missouri
Miss Lenore entering Stephens col-
lege at the latter place.
SUBSCRIBERS READ
EVERY WORD OF THIS
It It Important to You.
Dear Subscriber:
Again we ci.il your attention to re-
cent articles in The Herald and other
publications concerning the War
Board ruling that weekly papers must
cut down their consumption of print
paper 15 per cent. To do this the
Board has ruled Uiat such papers
must not only restrict the size of
such publications but must cut out
all free copies copies to exchanges
limit the copies to one to advertisers
and MUST discontinue sending the
paper to ALL subscribers not paid in
advance. This docs not mean that
the publisher is free to exercise his
will In regard to the matter but that
it MUST be done. Of course the
publisher of The Herald is glad to
comply with the ruling because the
Government has snid that it is re-
quired at this crucial time regardless
of personal interests we arc always
willing and glad to do the thing the
Government asks without waiting to
be compelled to do so but willing or
not willing upon our compliance with
the ruling rests our privilege to con-
tinue publication of The Herald so
thprn i nn nlturnntlvn. Tho ritrirl
V11AU'U11IVI1' ul "" luiniK win wurn
" Tn thL t J?JnJ .X
ivc.1knowftB.t here . are T -V
senbers of The Herald who wish the
paper and would pay for it at n fu
ture time but who will not be able to
pay for it in advance. We will lose
many others who arc able to pay in
advance bu who have been receiving
the paper for years and paying when
convenient and they will neglect to
renew promptly. Then there will
be others who will feel that the ruling
is a mercenary one of our own who
will fail to renew and will be peeved
when we are compelled to stop their
paper however as we said before it
is not a matter of choice or personal
preference with us and we shall have
to cut our best friend off the list just
ns quickly as we cut off the chronic
dead head and suffer the results.
Again we want to urge all those
who wish The Herald in the! future
to look carefully aft-r the renewal
of their subscription -tYe. will notify
all whose subscript!!; I la 4bout to
expire and t renewal isl.rctC Received
promptly we shall be compelled to
drop your hame from our list not
because wefnre not willing to extend
you .eredftut because -th- War
Board has ruled that we must do so
and we have no desire to violate any
ruling which the Government may
make. Though it means n financial
loss to us we are not the only ones
who arc losing on account of this
terrible conflict and we havo no word
of complaint to make against any-
one except the hellish Huns who arc
at the bottom of it all.
October 1st is the limit for ex-
tending credit on subscriptions. Come
in and take care of your account be-
fore that date. At that time all
subscriptions not paicV for ta ad)
vance will have to be dropped and if
yours is among the number we shall
regret it but have no honorable
means by which to avoid it Don't
wait for a notice of arrears to be
mailed you. It might be misscnt or
fail to reach you. Come in and
square up for a year in advance or.
if you find you can't come in send
in a $5.00 or a $10.00 bill to apply on
subscription. It will save us the ex-
pense of getting out a notice to you
and will insure your name remain-
ing on the list.
Remember October 1st is the date.
If you still want The Herald and
appreciate the courtesy we have ex-
tended you in the past in giving you
unlimited time in which to pay your
subscription accounts you will not
fail to renew. If you don't do so
remember it is no fault of ours that
your name was dropped from our
list.
COUNTRY ABOVE PARTY
Congressman Dick T. Morgan a!
though a Republican has always re
ceived liberal support from the Ucm
ocratic voters. The indications arc
this support will be more general this
year than ever before. Mr. Morgan
long ago demonstrated that he was
not a narrow partisan. But in sup
porting the Administration in power
in war legislation Mr. Morgan has
given additional proof of his patriot-
ism and statesmanship. In the crisis
of war Mr. Morgan has risen above
party politics and this is what the
voters of the Btn congressional uis
trict should do at the November elec
tion when they come to electing a
man to represent them in the Matron
al Legislative Council.
Congressman Dick T. Morgan has
taken an active interest in having
Phillins University of Enid and the
Northwestern State Normal at Alvs
designated as Military Units where
at the expense of the United States
the young men attending these col-
leges and who are subject to the draft
may continue their general educa
tion and at the samo time receive
military training that will prepare
them to become officers in the army
or to render important special service
in other lines of war work.W. II. Gilliland and wife left last
week for May at which place Mr.
'Gilliland will have charge of tho Big
Joe Lumber yard at that place as man-
ager. Beaver is sorry to lose Mr. and
Mrs. Gilliland. "Our best wishes go
with them to their new home.
THE CASUALTY LISTS
How do you read the casualty lisU?
Do you begin at the top turn to
the right hand column and scan the
heroes by home towns? Or do you
look at the names and meeting a fa-
miliar one look to the address to see
if it is the boy you know; and if it is
then read the subhead to see his fate?
Perhaps you start with the slightly
wounded and read up to the deeper
tragedies where you glance gingerly
as on dangerous ground hoping and
full of faith that none of the names
there will bring you face to face with
a supreme sacrifice made by one close
and dear to you.
When the list has been read with-
out any start of recognition you feel
relieved but only for a second be-
cause you know that every name rep-
resents a splendid American who has
given his blood for you here at home.
You share the grief and the pride of
folks who do know those names and
you know their heart ore heavy.
Are you worthy of their paorifice?
You are not worthy if you do not
give the best that is in you in back-
ing them up. Those boys were asked
to stop the German drive on Paris.
They did it and in addition drove
the Huns beyond their starting point
toward the Rhine.
You are now asked to increase
your last Liberty Loan investment
because the government needs the
money. Think of that daily casualty
list and then dare to put down one
cent less than you can afford to in
vest when the campaign begins Sep
tember 28.
Why not make your investment on
the first day? Go over the top with
the first yavc not the last.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
Thcie nrc few people at home who
are doing their utmost toward win
ning the war. Many are making great
Bacrificp : there is alwayB some-
thing i j ve can do just n little
bit more Many have not bought War
savings Stamps others are not prac
ticing economy whilo hundreds so far
have been content to let others as
sume the burdens What are you do
ing?
A marriage notice was mailed this
office this week but since the same
was not signed we are omitting the
article. Those who send in news of
anys kind for publication must re-
member that it is necessary for them
to sign their nam.' We will not pub-
lish the name'of the contributor if
requested not to do so but we must
know who sends the article otherwise
errors are too apt to creep in.
Mrs. Chas. Hugulcy is employed as
cjerk at the Peoples' Store this week
taking the place of Mrs. Pearl
Thompson who resigned to accept a
position in the county treasurer's of-
ffice. Miss Erma Crabtree left Monday
for Wichita Kansas on a visit to her
sister and family and for a visit with
her .twin brother Ernest who ex-
pects to be called soon to army service.

How It's Done
Thid is a day and ago of improvement. Everybody
uses the latest best and most improved methods. The
farmec wouldn't think of trying to harvest hl grain with
a hand sickle. '
It is up to you to discard tho stocking method and
deposit your money in the bank the modern' method of
handling 'funds. Paying bills by check is as far ahead of
the old cash-in-hand method as the self-binder is ahead of
the hand sickle. Try this up-to-dato method and you'll
find it hardly necessary o keep books. We'll -do it for
you and the cancelled checks wo return will prove we
have guarded your funds carefully. ''
