ters at Woodward, to which city the1
family will move later. The three
older children are batching at home.
George Brown, • one of Uncle Sam's
sailors, who has had considerable ex-
perience, since leaving hi home here
to enlist at the outbreak of the war,
returned home the first of the week,
having been discharged from the serv-
ice. He made several trips across the
"pond," and has many interesting
things to talk about.
Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Stallings re-
ceived word this week that their grand-
son, Harry Stallings, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Stallings of Woodward, is
critically ill with pneumonia in the mil-
itary college at Marion, AJa., where
he has been attending school. Rela
tives here are considerably alarmed
over the news of the young man's ill-
ness and are anxiously awaiting fur-
ther reports concerning his condition.
In this issue is shown a "Hunger
Map of Europe," which is the latest
showing of actual food conditions in
European countries. It is based on
statistical information yeceived by the
Food Administration and brings home
to our readers the vp ,st territory which
has been practical jy depleted of all
supplies. We are 8ure this map with
the accompanyinr t information will be
of interest to or j readers.
An exchang ^ say8 8ome statistical
fiend nas figi ^etj out that the average
cost per mi' u for running an auto is ten
cents, and ^at every duck the sport-
man kills <C08ts him $2.50, and every
fish he r ^hes $1.50. These figures
are \er y interesting and probably ac-
«urat/\ but there's others. For instance,
your P / ,-st baby costs you close to $1,000,
fP'l'f i eligion 10 or IB cents a sermon,
and j our home paper less than three
cen 6s per week, while any office you
iTiay get politically costs you $5 for
evei y $1 you get out of it. Oh, you
figures! - Buffalo Republican.
The liver loses its activity at times
and needs help. HERBINE is an ef-
fective liver stimulant. It also purifies
the bowels, strengthens digestion and
restores strength, vigor and cheerfnl
spirits. Sfld by Davis Drug Co.

Quick Cure for Croup
Watch for the first symptom, hoarse-
ness and give Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy at once. It is prompt and

Enoch Quinn Here.
Enoch Quinn came in the latter part
of last week from Camp Lee, Va., for
a visit with his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
J. R. Quinn, and other relatives and
friends. He got snowbound on hiB
way home and it took him several dayp
longer to get here than he had planned,
and his visit will be considerably short-
ened, as he had only a fifteen day fur-
lough. He will start back Saturday.
Enoch is looking fine and is apparently
enjoying military life. His only regret
is that he did not see activc service.
Lame back may come from over-
work, cold settled in the muscles of
the back, or from disease. In the two
former cases the right remedy is BAL-

should be rubbed in thoroughly over
the affected part, the relief will be
prompt and satisfactory. Sold by

Snow in Beaver County First
Mel Provost returned from Beaver
county the latter part of last week,
where he was called by the death of a
brother-in-law. Mr. Provost Bays that
while it was raining here last week it
was snowing in Beaver county, and
parts of the county were covered with
8 inches of snow when he left there.
The roads were so bad that they had
great difficulty in getting from his
brother-in-law's farm back to the rail-
road to take the train for home.—Alva

Winter As Is Winter.
by i. 8. drummond.
This winter of 1918-'19, so far as it
has gone, is certainly the surprise win-
ter of the west and southwest. After
the splendid rains of the early fall the
weather was so perfect that ne one
could find a fault with it, up to Decem-
ber. Everybody got so careless about
the weather that scarcely anyone made
any preparation to meet severe changes
when they came.
We Bhould have been warned, how-
ever, when, in the latter part of Nov-
ember, heavy cloudH would gather and
hang over uh for days; but the weather
was warm and very little moisture fell.
Some days were clear, but other days
heavy, sluggish clouds shadowed the
earth, especially in the southwest.
Still all signs of a bad break failed to
bring cold and storms.
But at last, on the last days of Nov-
ember, the change came; there were
two days of steady rainfall, followed
by a wet, heavy snowfall which lasted
over 40 hours.
This was followed by a few days of
clearing weather, and people again
became careless and happy. And right
then came the real, sure enough break.
It got considerably colder, the clouds
were low, and looked like they could be
sliced with a knife, and a heavy, wet
snow fell for two days. Then came a
pretended clearing spell for a day, then
heavy clouds and snow again began to
fall, turned colder, and the two days'
snowfall was repeated. And how it did
snow! In fact, we might say that it
was almost a continual snow storm
from December 14th until the New
Year came in. In all, fully three feet
of snow fell, and probably half as
much more melted and went into the
ground during the time the wet snows
were falling.
Live stock that was not sheltered
suffered terribly. Stockmen say this
storm is the worst on cattle for many
years.
Thermometers told different tales.
They varied all the way from 2 degrees
above to 12 below zero. All told, the
storm was as bad as even old settlers
remember; but we hope it has spent
its fury. To-day-January 2nd-the
snow is shining brightly, but it is too
cold for thawing, except in sheltered
places. The snow is badly drifted, but
if spread out evenly over the ground
it would probably exceed two feet in
depth. Counting that at least one-
third of all the snow that fell melted
before the weather turned cold, we
must have had over three feet of the
beautiful.
Begun a New Serial.
Frank Spangler, manager of the
Globe Theatre, treated the people of
this community to a free show Monday
night, the purpose of which was to in-
troduce his new serial, "The Bull,s
Eye." A large crowd was present and
saw the opening chapter, which cre-
ated a good impression and will no
doubt attract large crowds as the play
progresses.
The scenes of the play are laid in the
cattle country of the great west, and
its people are portrayed as they live
to-day. The basis of the story is an
old feud between a cattle rancher and
and a sheep owner who insists on driv-
ing his sheep over the cattleman's
land. The principals to the feud are
constantly being egged on by a cattle
buyer who iB in the employ of a for-
eign country, and who has been unsuc-
cessfril in his efTorts to purchase from
either of them. He has gathered a
considerable followiug among the free
lance cowboys of the neighborhood,
and has resorted to "rustling" the
stock of the rival owners, the result
being that each one thinks the other is
stealing his animals.
Eddie Polo and Vivian Reed are the
featured players. The serial will run
each Monday night, and announce-
ments of other attractions at the Globe
will be shown in the weekly program
of the Globe published in this paper.
Without Lights and Water.
For a few days last week, Beaver
people experienced the first time with
out lights and water in a good many
months, in fact, since the installation
of the new plant a year and a half ago.
The trouble was caused by an oil pipe
in the engine at the power house be-
coming clogged, causing a beaming to
get overheated and burn out a box-
ing. For four days—from Wednes
day until Saturday-we were without
lights and almost that long without
water, as there was not much water
stored in the tank when the power
went off. The men in charge at the
plant succeeded in getting in a new
boxing Saturday, and by Sunday the
engine was working as good as ever
and we have had plenty of "juice"
ever sftice.
Quite a number in town, however,
are without water on account of their
pipes freezing, but this is no fault of
the town. After the water is once in-
stalled, patrons are supposed to look
after their water pipes from the main,
and see that they are properly covered
and protected to keep them from
freezing. It is usually rather expens.
ive to let. them freeze, to say nothing
of the inconvenience.
Chamberlain's Tablets
When you are troubled with indiges-
tion or constipation, take Chamberlain s
Tablets. They strengthen the stomach
and enable it to perform its functions
naturally. Indigestion is usually ac-
companied by constipation and is ag-
gravated by it. Chamberlain's Tablets
cause a gentle movement of the bowels,
relieving the constipated condition.
In Advance of His Age.
The name of Bacon has been sur-
rounded in England by legendary tales
of black magic and witchcraft. There
are songs about him, and he has al-
ways been a figure of mystery, even
to his modern interpreters. "Friar
Wizard," as he was called, knew too
much for his age. He wrote extensive
studies on the construction of tele-
scopes. The first mention of gunpow-
der is found in his books, and it was
be who suggested its use for purposes
of warfare.

Man With Aliases Shoves Bad
Checks
The merchants of Guymon are on the
lookout for a stranger with light brown
hair, rather undersized, with even
white teeth, and who appears exceed-
ingly pleasant to meet.
This man is about 25 years old, and
is a stranger here, but he has given all
the merchants an impression that they
have seen him before.
The merchants have cashed checks
for this man exceeding $100. All of
them have been returned with the in-
formation that he is unknown at the
banks. The stranger used pad checks
and numbers them, and gives tnem on
local banks. The name of the maker
and payee are all in the same hand-
writing, and he has used the names of
of Roy Smith, J. C. Wright, Arthur
Jackson, T. J. Wilson, Lawrence Jack-
son and J. C. Jackson.
The stranger seems to have a Ford
and among his recent purchases are
spark plugs, and a dark brown sweater.
He gives checks from $15 to $35,
makes small purchases and pockets the
change.-Guymon Democrat.
