MOTHERS' CLUBS TAKE LEAD TO-
WARD BEAUTIFYING
Some time ngo a novement was
sponsored by The Mothers' Club of
Beaver petitioning the board of coun-
ty commissioners to take action look-
ing toward the bcautlflcntlon of the
etiurt house grounds. They were Join-
ed In their effort by The Mothers' Club
ot Forgan through their president
Mm O. II Cafky that club Joining
the Bearer club In their petition. At
the time the petition was presented
there were no funds available fur such
purpose but at the meeting of the
county commissioners tho first of July
at which time the county ultimate was
made up an Item wag Included In the
estimate looking toward this work and
the petition of The Mothers' Clubs was
approved. Definite plain for the im-
provement of the grounds Imve not
been formulated but it Is understood
that tho yard will be graded and lev-
eled a retniniug wall and sidewalks
constructed and that grass nnd trees
'will be set out This action will cer-
tainly transform whnt has heretofore
been an eve-core Into a most attract-
ive spot and one of which every citizen
of the county should be proud. We
are trusting for the early completion
of tha improvement.
HOT? TES. BUT WE'RE NOT ALONE
We have been having some real July
weather the past week but we are not
alone In our sweltering. Reports come
The Ford Garage reports that "bus!
ness is good" having sold three Ford
trucks and three Ford touring cars the
' past week. They have three cars of
Fords in transit and are figuring on
WRY NOT HAVE MORE LAWNS
from all parts of the United States of quick sales for many have signified their
intention 01 uuying just as soon as grain
can be marketed. The Ford or some
such car is almost a necessity on the
farm and we are glad to note that the
farmers are abjo to supply such needf
extreme hot weather and in many
places sultry nights make life scarcely
worth living It gets pretty hot here
during the day but a redeeming fea-
ture Is iii the cool nights. It Is rare
indeed when the nights are not cool
and pleasant and a light bed covering
Is rejected. Taken all in all our cli-
mate has most other sections of this
mundane sphere "skinned a country
block."
Dee Niles and family spent the past
week visiting in this vicinity having
arrived the early part of last weok in
company with Mr. Niles' father. J. D
Niles from Oherokco. It will he re-
membered that Dee who lived here
when a boy subsequently moving to
California upon his marriage as af-
tllcted about a year ago with paralysis
and it was necessary for him to come
east. Ho Improved to some extent
but his condition is yet far from satis-
factory. He and his family are return-
ing this week to tholr home in Cali-
fornia leaving Tuesday for LosAngeles
Sirs. Walter Allen and children who
been here for some weeks past on a
visit to her parents D. M. Kile and wife
left Tuesday for Dodgo City Kansas
where 'she will take the train for her
home at Cotopaxi Colorado. MrsrKilc
and her daughter Mrs. Harry lirown
accompanied her to Dodge City. Her
brother Dale Kile drove them over in
tho car.
- The pretty patch of Bermuda grass
in the triangle at the front ot the Quick
Service Filling Station It evidence
conclusive that that grass will grow
luxuriantly in Beaver. Why not have
more lawns? Bluegrais also does
splendidly In this climate We need
but refer to the beautiful lawn at the
home of Mrs. O. H.Caflty at Forgan
for evidence as to the growth here of
bluegrass. A more perfect lawn is not
to be found in liluegrais State itself.
We wish that Reaver citizens would
make a little more effort along these
lines. The grass can be grr-sn which
ever variety you wish so why not make
the start toward a town beautiful? Of
course it will require some work and
attention but there is no excellenca
without labor. We could transform
yards of weds and clumps of wild
grass into beautiful Bermuda or blue-
grass lawns here as elsewhere if we
would make the effort. LetV get busy.
We have lived in tho sand sagebrush
and tall grass long enough Let'sclean
up the town and make it attractive.
It can be done.
WHEAT WAGONS LOOK GOOD
The numerous wheat wagons which
have been on the streets of Beaver the
past week delivering grain to the var-
ious elevators here for which they
have received as high as $1 10 certain-
ly is a welcome sight. It has been a
long time owing to the deflated mar-
kets sinccour farmers have done much
marketing but. with last year's wheat
and kaflr In the bin and a bumper crop
coming on marketing wb most nec-
essary and fortunatelv the price look-
ed up.
While we arc mentioning the long
string of wheat wagons we might say
that it looks mighty good tjo to see
the wagotis pais down the streets of
Beaver without dropping into a chug-
hole as has bi'f-n the case too many
times in l-- pnht. It used to be a
case of taking one's Ufa in their hands
to attempt to drive a loaded wagon or
truck through the streets and every
' day one or more such vehicles would
drop Into a liolo cut out by much haul-
ing and the price would bo a new wheel
and a much irritated driver with "cus-
sing" galore fur the town Early this
year Beaver business concerns along
Douglas avenue resolved that our
main thoroughfare must be put in bet-
ter condition and kept that way ac-
cordingly the proposition of Wade
Livergood for so much per to keep
the street sprinkled dragged and
graded was accepted and we'll say
right here that Mr. Livergood has cer-
tainly been delivering the goods. The
upkeep cost is not enough to "break"
any of us and the results obtained are
most satisfactory. We only wish that
similar contract might be secured
for every street in Beater. The city
is not financially able to take csra of
this work M.lt should be handled but
no citizen on anyfstreet in Beaver can
afford to pats up such a proposition for
all it would cost provided they could

glad to contribute our pro rata to such
a cause for each street on which we
have property abutting. Wo believe
others are Junt as willing. Here's an
opportunity for someone buti they
should repjemljer If they go info the
deal that it Is not a matter of pension
for anyone and they must absolutely
glvo the service that Mr. Livergood is
giving or there is no contract Under
this system every street in Beaver
could bo placed In Bhip-shnpe and It
would not coat any of us a great

to the sdtlsfuatiou that would be de-
rived from such an arraugement. Who
will take the joband deliver thu goods?

The latest confession of Harry Ellis
being held for the murder of Longneck-
er and Smith and a confession from his
14-year-old brothcr'Hosey further clears
up the murder mystery. From these
confessions it appears that Harry and
his little brother did the Longnecker
killintr because of the latter calling Har-
ry a "son of a B " and in the hope of
nflftini cnrrt innnmr nrtrt mntinn mntt

OLDEST RESIDENT "KICKS OUT"
Wh noticed in our rounds over town
this weok that tho past spring had
marked the demise of Beaver's oldest
resident. Two cot on wood trees In the
yard at the home of J. H. Oiilnn mid
I wife and which have stood there since
before Beaver was a town nt all but
trivial amount of money. M liter is still
implicated because ho knew of the mur
der of Smith by Ellis Ellis going to his j
place following the crime and telling
him of having committed the murder
but Miller made no report to authori-
ties. Harry Ellis is certainly "hard
boiled" though only 17 years old. The
deplorable fact is that ho dragged his
little 14-year-old brother into the crime
and that his parents are most respect-
able and law-abiding citizens.
CHAUTAUQUA OPENS SUNDAY

vur's chnutnuqua which opens Sunday

make arrangements to attend this year

recreation. Harvest is about over and
many have been putting in long hours

Sunday tho 24th and the programs
continue every afternoon and evening
