Found Him Asleep!
When burglars enteredbld Safety Steven'
house thoy1 found him' sound') asleep. When his
wife aroused him with 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 is in 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.

nOAD BONDS LOSE IN COUNTY
AND STATE
Tho final result ot latt Tuesday's
election on the $50000000.00 Road
Dond proposition shows a decisive
defeat the measure losing In prac-
tically ' every county city and town
In the state. Deaver county voted
strongly against tho proposition.
The defeat of tbe bonds at this
time Is In the opinion of The Herald
a good doing. While we much desire
good roads and they can't get them
too good to ault us. particularly It
we have to drive over them yet
we felt all along that the state was
not yet able to afford auch a sjstcra
as proposed even though they had
been built In the most economical
and free from graft manner which
Is extremely doubtful Good dirt
roads rightly graded and kept care-
fully dragged would fill the bill In
Beaver county for tome time to come
and until the state was more financi-
ally able to build the hard surfaced
roads. For our part we'd prefer to
be able to reach all parts of the coun-
ty over cood graded dirt roads drag
ged smoothly than to travel out a
tew miles on a hard sur raced roau
and then plow through sand up hill
and down dale. We believe there is a
way to get the good dirt roads and
to maintain them and we are going
to depend on the newly-elected
Board ot County Commissioners to
find the way.
DO YOU NOTE THE RED CROSS
SWEATERS
The return of the soldiers from
overseas gives the lie to the oft re-
peated story In the early months of
the war that the Red Cross sweat-
ers and socks were not being given
to the boys. Ask the boys as they
cone home whether or not they re-
ceived Red Cross socks and sweat-
ers. Everyone of them will tell you
they did and they still have them.
Too eager ears listened to this pro-
paganda which the return ot the
boys Is not exploiting. Count on it
you can safely defend the govern-
ment the Red Cross and such Institu-
tions at all times and in all places.
Utterances derogatory to such have
their origin In tbe minds of the dis-
loyal and are given wide-spread pub-
licity by the thoughtless but when
brought to account-are always given
the lie Just as in this instance.
KEEP YOUR ROOKS MOVING
f General Pershing says his boys
" could ubo' many more magazines
than have been arriving overseas re-
cently. Red Cross workers should see
'f to It that all the neighbors respond
to the General's request. Stick a
' Jk. one-cent stamp on your magazine and
give it an ocean voyage.
Sheriff J. B. Couch and- wife
County Attorney Roscoe Rlzley and
wife and Mrs. E. L. Flckel expect
to leave tomorrow for Oklahoma
City to which place Mrs. Couch and
Mrs. Flckel go as delegates from
Beaver lodge to the Grand Lodge ot
the Pythian Sisters.
ATTENTION DISCHARGED
SOLDIERS
We are advised by Mrs. Beulah
Hall deputy county clerk to notify
all returned discharged soldiers or a
new ruling effectlvo since April 2
1919 concerning the recording ot
soldiers'' discharges at that office.
Those having discharges recorded
since April 2 1919 and having paid
a fee for the same are hereby noti-
fied that the fee so charged will be
refunded to them upon application
at the coanty clerk's office. A rul-
ing now effectlvo provides tor the
recording tree of charge ot soldiers'
discbarges and all soldiers should
not fall to attend to this Important
matter. Such a permanent record of
their discharge particularly In case
of the loss of the original papers
may prove valuable to them and
save much time which would other-
wise be required In securing a copy
of the original from Washington D.
C. Another reason for the record-
ing ot discharges is the ruling that
all such discharges must be recorded
before the $60.00 bonus provided
will be paid by the government.
DISCOVER COW HIDES HIDDEN IN
POND
While fishing at the pond at the
mouth of Home creek west of Beav-
er one day last week A. G. Thomas
and Harry Nlles hooked three cow
hides which had evidently been hid-
den In tthe pond to cover up cattle
Btealtng. The hides were each In a
sack to which a rock had bean tied
and the sack sunk in the water hole.
The matter was reported at once to
the sheriff's office and upon Investi
gation or the hides It was found that
the brand had been cut out but other
Indications were that the anlmlas
from which the hldeB had been taken
had evidently been butchered for beef
and. probably belonged to J. E.
George who has a large number of
cattle In that section many of whioh
were rat enough for beer. Investiga-
tions which have been going on since
the discovery ot the hides establishes
the guilt strongly but as yet no ar-
rests have been made. It is to be
hoped that the. guilt of the culprit
may oe tnorougniy proven and the
criminal made to pay the .penalty.
This .together with the store break-
ing which has been going on in Beav-
er Forgan and other nearby places
proves that there are undesirables In
our midst and the sooner these com
munities can be rid ot such vaiia
bonds the better for all concerned. In
these days ot plenty of work and
high prices for' labor there la no rea-
son or excuse for anyone resorting to
such contemptible doing and there Is
far too much of It going on. Some-
body lo going to pay the penalty one
ot these days for the eye of the law Is
not asleep and those who may think
they are gliding through so.soomth-
ly may wake up suddenly finding
themselves the possessor of a free
pass to the state penitentiary and a
permanent Job awaiting them at the
end of the Journey.
. WILL BRIDGE THE ARROYO
At the last session ot the board ot
county commissioners just past bids
were ordered called for for the the
bridging ot the Mexican Arroyo Just
north of Beaver on the state road
leading from Beaver to Forgan.' The
Herald Is glad to note that the hon-
orable board has at last condescend-
ed to put in this little bridge which
fs scarcely more than a culvert- and
which should have received atten-
tion long ago.

MORE ORATIUITOUS ROAD
WORK
A. McKle of near Lorena was a
Beaver visitor Saturday and while
here paid this office a call renewing
his subscription. He congratulated
The Herald on the stand we have
taken In condemning the action of
Commissioner McLain and his asso-
ciate commissioners the past six
years In the high-handed manner In
which the road funds have been
squandered wlthovt any perceptible
evidence of any roads having been
built. Mr. McKle says a state road
leads paBt his farm but was In such
a condition that It was Impassible
In wet weather and practically so In
any weather until the people of that
community tiring of the condition
got out and by volunteer service put
the road in shape for use. This con-
dition seems to prevail In all parts
of the county. Reports come to this
office of volunteer road building go-
ing on here and there all over the
county. If In order to get any roads
suitable for traffic the taxpayers
must get out and build them gratis
why pay the enormous road tax and
motor vehicle tax that is annually
assessed. Where In the name of
common sense have the roads been
built for which all this money has
been expended by tho board of coun-
ty commissioners?
LET'S RU1LD UP HOME INTER.
ESTS
A. G. Daniel of Boyd county com-
mlssloner-elect from the Third dist-
rict was a Beaver visitor the past
week. Ho reports state road work
going good In the Third district.
This particular road Is the one which
Commissioner McLain has fostered
all the way through and on which
scads of money has been spent par.
ticuiany at and adjacent to McLaln's
land. When completed It will doubt
)ess ho a passible highway from Tex-
as to Kansas a very feasible project'
for the expenditure of such vast sums
of money for Beaver county where
not a town in Beaver county has
scarcely a passable road leading to
It. It may help Texas and Kansas
towns for Beaver county roads to be
built to their doors and It certainly
increases tne taxable valuation- or
those towns but what good does It
do the county from which the money
is being taken to Increase In taxable
valuation to the county to be sure by
building up outside the county
towns. Why not build a few roads
to the towns within the county thus
Increase business)- provide bettor
markets and Increase the taxable val-
uation somewhat? The county Is but
a unit of the sUte'and nation. If we
would build upthe' Nation we must
stand by It and (boost Its resources.
The same la tme of-tmretuto and llko
wise ot the county and town. It by
our patronage and our support we
build up outside Institutions who ls
to take care of the home IntcrestliT
Beaver county has too long gone to
advance and build up outside towns
and institutions. Why not look after
Beaver county's Interests solely for a
time? We are hoping and expecting
the new Board of County Commis-
sioners to do this very thing and wc
believe we ore not going to bo disap-
pointed. Let's have some- roads giv-
ing us communication with the vari-
ous towns and communities ot the
county somo roads over which our
people may travel to reach the coun-
ty seat court and other matters.

KANSAS OKLAHOMA RAILROAD
MEN HERB
O. P. Byere and son Walter pro-
moters ot the Kansas &. Oklahoma
Railroad from Liberal. Kansas to
Forgan were Beaver callers last
weekend visitors at this office. We in
quired freely and were answered fur
ly by Mr. Byers and eon concerning
the bunding ot the new road and they
Beemed very optimistic in the matter
In our Inquiry we found that It is
very probable that the terminus of
the road will be Beaver thus giving
the people of the northwest part ot
the countybetter access to the county
seat. No tentative plans or proposals
have been made to Beaver however at
this time but it would be to onr in-
terest to sit up and take notice. The
building of this road' Into the county
seat would be a splendid thing" for the
town and county and our people
should not wait for thinking too
strongly that the road will come to us
but should go out after It. Railroads
have a habit of sbulldlng where the'
strongest Inducements are offered
and where the deepest Interest is
manifested by the people. It seems
certain as sundown that Jhe Kansas
Oklahoma Railroad Is going to be
built If the people along the way and
the towns show the proper interest
In the way of bonus notes and not
"hot air" by the woy and that In
time to take care of the fall business.
Beaver people are chumps If they
don't go after this road.

LIBERAL NEWS ISSUES MONSTER
EDITION '
We failed to mention last week of
the monster special edition of the
Liberal Kansas News which was. Is-
sued May 1st antt which contained
100 pages. It was certainly bvjfaf
the best booster edition ever tlMued
by a weekly newspaper In a town the
size of Liberal or much larger 4er vrZSZjZZZiSSZi i Jul fcSi'

edition was termed-'
Victory Special' and It contained a
very great deal of matter relailvel-toi
the service or Seward county men la
the army navy and marine corps. In
addition there were scores ot cut
showing farm and town scenes In and
about Liberal and dozens ot columns
of reading matter. The edition was
splendidly patronized by the business
men or Liberal which mado it pos-
sible but which was worth many
times to the town and county what It
cost the individual advertiser. Editor
Zimmerman and his efficient force are
to be congratulated. Tbe Victory
Special was a hummer.
C. V. Rice editor of tho Forgan
Eagle was a county seat visitor on
Monday. While here he called at
this office leaving an advertisement
for Vaughn the Jeweler oKforgan.
Mr. Rice recently ordered an Inter-
tyne. which he exnects to be Installed

dreaming that all his composition
troubles will be at an end. Well
