It Is often so much easier to advise some one
h(.w to spend his money than it is to spend your
own.
You know what the other fellow ought to
spend but with you it's different. Now any ad-
vice we may have to offer will not be along this
lino at all. Our advice is not along the lines of
spending money but rather in saving it. Any-
body can spend money but it takes a wise one to
save it. There is nothing like opening an account
at a reliable bank to assist you in saving.
Add to the account regularly and you will be
surprised how easy it will grow. Start now no
matter how small.

Tho many friends of H. B. Maddox
prevailed upon him last week to file

didate for nomination as County

His candidacy will meet with gen-
eral approval. Ho Is known as a
man of much executive ability nnd

cal efficiency has been extremely es
sential and has made good. Having
occupied a position of chief clerk in
the Beaver postoflice for the past six
years and his work during much of
that time having to do with tho rec

question of his familiarity with the
duties.

Should tho Republicans of Beaver
county favor him wth the nomina-
tion August 3th and a majority of
tho ballots be cast In his favor at
tho general election In November the
voters of Beaver county may feel
assurred that they have elected a
man fully qualified to perform the
duties of the office of county clerk
and one who will glvo It his undivid-
ed personal attention.

ALL FARMERS MUST PLOW FIRE
GUARDS
Oklahoma City Okla. July 10.-r-(Speclal)
Farmers who believe it Is
optional with them whether they
plow fire guards to safeguard their
crops from destruction by fire from
the sparks of engines are laboring
under a misapprehension. The gov-
ernment has proclaimed It a matter
of necessity that these guards be
plowed and that all farmers see that
It Is done. This Is not only for the
purpose of saving food much neoded
by the nation and by the allies but
also to save the government the ex-
pense of paying claims for damages
sustained through destruction by the
railroads.
HARRY COONS RETURNS WITH
BRIDE
Harry Coons who has been em-
ployed at the Long & Lawson garage

couple returned to Beaver shortly

ture home hero. Beaver people ex-
tend congratulations.
At present we are well stocked
with all sizes of Casings and Inner Tubes
but on account of war conditions we
may be out of some sizes soon and un-
able to get them.

Tho Joy of LIvinK
To enjoy life we must have good
health. No one can reasonably hopo
to get much real pleasure out of lite
when hlB bowels nre clogged a good
share of the time and the puihons
that should be expelled are absorbed
Into the system producing headache
and Indigestion. A few doses of
Chamberlain's Tablets will movo tho
bowels strengthen the digestion and
Give you a chanco to realize tho real
Joy of living. Try it.

ing of last week when a number of
his friends dropped in on htm for a
stag party tho occasion being In
honor of his birthday anniversary.
They took along a handsomo inoer-
chaum pipe In a beautiful case as a
token of their esteem. Attorney
Stacy Wells delivered the presenta-
tion speech and all went well until
opening the case to allow tho recipi-
ent to view tho beautiful "Man's
Best Friend." It was discovered that
sotno Joker had exchanged tho pipes
and instead of tho mcerchaum there
reposed In tho handsomo caso a com-
mon plpo of the cob variety Mow-
ever the mcerchaum was later pro- "
duced. and - Ross Is now putting In
overtime in an enort to color it just
tho proper tint. Of course all on-
Joyed the evening immensely.
