BEAVER AUTO SALES CO.

FLIES TO SALE
Col. A. M. Burnam auctioneer is
getting right up-to-date. Ordinarily
the automobile is speedy enough for
most people but not so with Col. Bur-
nam. He is finding his sale business
so rushing that last week he resorted'
to the aeroplane to get him around
flying out to the Anderson "sale in the
Puflea plane which has been here the
past week doing passenger service. It
looks like Burnam was the "High" dol-
lar Auctioneer all right. Few have
gone higher than he went that day
we'll venture.

DRUM AND MENDBNHALL
ASK FOR RE-ELECTION
" The Herald is glad this week to pre-
sent the names of Frank H. Drum of
the second district and of O. O. Men-
dcnhall of tho first district as repub-
lican candidates for rc-mnnlnation as
county commissioners of their respec-
tive districts.
We feel that the announcement of
these two gentlemen as candidates is
equivalent to re-nomination and to
election for they are just now serving
their first year as commissioners of
Heaver county having assumed their
offices July 1 1919 and their record
is so good in so short a time that we

AN EXCITING RUNAWAY
Considerable excitement was caused
Monday afternoon by n runaway team
which dashed down Douglas avenue at
a 2-10 gait. The team which was a
spirited on was driven by Dan Gracy.
Ihcy took fright near tho Kilo Garago
when n single-tree became loose and
although Mr. Gracy stayed with them
heroically he was unable to stop them
until they ran down Douglas avenue
to the Bailey Feed Bam Mr. Gracy
succeeding in turning them in there
When about The Herald office the
wagon tongue dropped and it looked
UKe there was going to be something
mighty serious happen but fortunate-
ly it all ended without disastrous ef
fect. After adjusting the harness and
vehicle Mr. Gracy started out with the
team and they rnn away again. This"
time every thing being secure he suc
ceeded in heading them south up
Douglas avenue and let them run until
they tired themselves out when he
was able to drive them back quietly.
It was indeed fortunate that the first
runaway did not end scriouslv. or that
damage was not done for the street
was lined with cars however. Mr.
Gracy held the horses well to the side
of the street and no damage whatever
was. done- except to the wagon and

DIRT FLIES ON K. & O. RAILROAD
J. M. Jones contractor advises us

grading ten miles of the new Kansas
& Oklahoma Railroad bed and that he
expects to commence work today. His
contract cans for that part of the
grade commencing two miles west of
Forgan. Other contractors will com-
mence work at the same time at other
points along tho right-of-way we are
Informed. Looks like the K. &. O. was
:oing to be "a go" don't it Here's
opin'. Beaver is readv. with the cash
in her hand when Mr. Byers is ready
to come across the "picturesque" sand
hills and by means .of our "Hot Air
Line" or any other line give us direct
connection with the Rock Islnnd. at
Liberal.
A number of the old friends of Mr.
and Mrs Frank Laughrin surprised
them Monday evening by dropping in
unexpectedly to spend a few hours.
After a very delightful social evenine.
refreshments which had been nrovided
by the self-invited sweats were served.
.Mr. and Mrs. ljuighrin expect to leave
soon for Illinois where they will spend
some time visiting relatives after
which thoy plan to eo to California re
maining there for the winter. They
will start on tho Illinois trip as soon
as a new Bulck car which Mr. Lnugli-
rin has been waiting for for some time
is delivered.
What a Bank Should Be
The relation between a bnnk and Its
depositors is different from that between-other
lines of business and their
customers. And a bank can bo useful
to its clients beyond the mere deposit-
ing paying and lending of moricy. A
bank stands in confidential relation to
its depositors. It has opportunities to
help them and it hns opportunities to
take advantage of them. It becomes
familiar with their financial transac-
tions. It knows what deals they aro
planning and making. Not only their
money but business secrets arc in its
hands for safe keeping. Further tho
bank is the support behind a man up-
on which ho can call for help when
ho needs it It is like the rcsorvo
troops which a general keeps to uso
when ho gets in a pinch.
Yovir bank to be really useful to you
should havo n strict sense of honor.
It should be absolutely safe. It should
be big and strong enough to furnish
help when it is colled for.
"Where can you find such a bank?
