Found Him Asleep!
When burglars entered old Safety Stevens'
house they found him stund-asleep. When his
wife aroused him.'wlth the whispered assertion
that "there are burglars in the house" he replied
with a yawn "Let them go they can't find any-
thing. Our money isJn the bank." He was not
worried. His pocketbook contained nothing but
a bunch of blank checks and a little loose change;
nothing to lose. It pays to have a bank account
in a good reliable bank for the feeling of safety in-
spired to say nothing of the many conveniences
and advantages.

PROSPECTING FOR GOLD
BKAVKR COUNTY
IN VOLUNTKKR8 FIXING UP STATU
ROAD
How many people here know that
projecting for gold It actually going
ob In Beaver county and It Isn't pros-
pecting for the gold that many of us
have lunk here either but for the real
ore that comes out of the ground.
Wm. Andrua and F. V. Peterson of
New York City have been prospect
ing. on the A. J Andrus farm whlchl
Is the northeast quarter er. section z 3
tdwnifhip.3 range 27 E. C. M. near
Madison and claim that they have
found rock which upon .assay shows
values and traces of gold and silver
and they have accordingly organized
a company of New York capitalists
have incorporated and leased the
farm and will go on down with the
shaft to at least 100. feet The pros-
pect hole from which the rock was
taken which assayed values and
traces was about 50 feet deep. The
promoters feel that they have some-
thing worth developing and are go-
ing to spend some money at least to
see what they can bring to the surface.

H. N. LAWSON Beaver Okla.
John A. Spohn chairman of the
civilian relief department of the
Beaver County Chapter A. R. C re-
norts service the past week through
his department which brought long-
sought information promptly to Peter
Verhelst a Belgian of Forgan who
applied for help In securing Informa-
tion of his daughter. At the time' of
the Invasion .of Belgium Mr.
Verhelst'a daughter who Is blind
was attending college at Ghent and he
had heard from her regularly. Fol-
lowing the Invasion no word came fend
after waiting in vain he applied to
the lied Cross for assistance. Mr.
Spohn took the matter up promptly
and Sunday received a telegram stat-
ing that Emma Verhelst was well. A
cablegram Tuesday followed saying
Emma was in school was perfectly
well and that a letter would probably
reach-her now without delay. It is
unnecessary to say that this Informa
tion was thankfully received by the
father who long feared his daughter
was dead.
This Is only one Instance of the ef
ftctent service the Civilian Relief de
partment of the County Chapter has
rendered. Many calls have been
made on Mr. Spohn and not once has
he failed to secure the relief or In-
formation sought. The Red Cross
has been a wonderful benefit to the
soldiers and relatives of soldiers even
through the little Beaver County
Chapter and when we think of the
stupendous-werlrwhleh has been car
ried on tnrougn au tne unapiers.'oj
which there are more than 6000 no
wonder " Tho Boys" honor and love
this "Greatest Mother in tho World."
The Red Cross hasn't made here or
elsewhere as to what they are doing
but they have been busy and on the
Job all the time never-the-lcss and
they are still at work and will remain
until the Job is finished. Thero Is
much work yet for the Red Cross. Its
mission Is a mission of humanity and
tho destitute are. calling today Just
as urgently as did our sick and
wounded on the battlefields call to
us for help. The Red Cross will not
turn a deaf car to those starving
stricken women and children who
withstood the tortures In the wnr
zone even though the armistice has
been signed and peace Is virtually de-
clared. They bared their breast to
the Roche bayonet and bent their
backs with the burdens of war at
their own thresholds while we of
America wore spared this suffering
and degradation. . Shall wo forget
them now? The Red Cross and those
who hare the true Red Cross spirit
will not forget tnem or cease to work
for them until our superior officer
says "Enough." Will we ned Cross-
ere? We hear your answer "No" a
tnousana times "NOI"
Tiring of the almost impassable
condition of the state road one-half
mile south of Beaver and leading
east and west citizens of the town
and adjacent territory are this week
donating volunteer service to place
the highway in fit condition. This Is
one of the main highways leading to
tne county seat and.a road oycrjwhlcb
a.great part of the'tTafflc'pawea yet
there seems to be no means by which
the Board of County Commissioners
may be prevailed upon 'to' sned. a
part of the road' funds of the county
to place the highway In a condition
for travel so the liberal public-
spirited citsens are donating the
work. The labor they are performing
will not even apply to the payment of
their poll tax we are Informed. In
addition to this every one of the men
wno are donating the work are tax-
payers and the great majority If not
all are motor vehicle owners and
have paid their motor vehicle tax. It
Is tough luck to do all this and see the
money which should be spent on the
leading highways squandered on by-
roads or on roads which do not serve
any considerable majority of the tax-
payers as has been done of the Board
of County Comlssloners and then
have to go out and labor gratis and
work teams which have been fed np
at great expense for spring farm
work in order to place the main
roads leading to the county seat in
fit condition for traffic but our peo-
ple are the kind who are going to
have seme roads In spite of the Board
of County Commissioners and If they
have to pay the tax and then donate
their services to boot they will do so
and' It Is greatly to their credit but
there Is no fairness or Justice to the
matter. Beaver county Is full well
able If the funds were equitably
spent to provide an adequate road
system In the county but when all the
funds must be spent to surround Com-
missioner McLaln's farm with hard
surfaced roads and with brldgen and
culverts and to move high and dry
bridges In Commissioner Whltaker's
district at a greater expense than
would be required to build a new
bridge outright to say nothing of
the other expenditures It Is not to be
expected that there would be any
funds available with which to build
legitimate needed highways. The ex-
penditure of the road funds of
Beaver county should be sifted to the
bottom. It Is a disgrace and a shame
that so much money should be paid
Into the public coffers for road build-
ing and maintenance purposes anl
then that njen should be compelled to
worK-friaeir- Mieams 'ana meraseivee
gratis In-order to make the public
highways passable.

Reporter
March has been giving us some
strong spring winds now and then.
The dust has-been pretty thick and
the wind mighty disagreeable atlmes
but when we plciC up the dally papers
and see that other towns of the state
and adjoining states have been vis-
ited by tornadoes which have de-
stroyed much property and taken a
toll of lives we feel that we have not
fared so badly after all.
