Fourh of July a Dead
One For Beaver

For the first time since the settle
mept of this couatry was the Fourth
Of July passed without appropriate ex-
ercises and a rousing celebration of
our Nations birthday Not hand
was turned in Beaver this year in OBJ
seryation of the occasion and only a
small per cent Of our people attended
celebrations elsewhere This seemed
to be an Of year for Beaver and her
people along patriotic lines. We trust
it will not be so another year.
Celebrations held elsewhere and
which were attended by a portion OF
our people, were at Gate, LaKeInp and
Smiths Grove on the Kiowa At each
Of these places the usual programmes
were carried out and consisted prin-
cipally OF speaking. racing, ball games,
dancing, fireworks, etc. The majority
of our people attended the celebration
at LaKemp and they report very
pleasant time throughout the entire
three days festivities The Beaver
ball team were engaged at this place
and played some interesting games
The game Saturday resulted in victory
for the Beaver boys by score Of Z to {
The game Monday was lost by a score
Of to but since the Beaver boys had
the umpire to beat along with the
ball team, and which, by the way, was
n much harder thing to do, they are
not feeling very bad over their defeat
As we said before, we trust that
Beaver will not let another year pas.
without properly observing the Fourth
When we do things, we do it right and
everything is on the square and we
want to see the people get together
early next year and plan for one of the
biggest and best celebrations ever held
in the southwest.

chine. Sheriff Miller took over some
repairs and then pulled Mr.. Emerson Q
machine on to Beaver for him. For
this Mr.. Miller felt that he was entit-
led to some compensation but it seems
that Mr.. Emerson was Of a different
opinion or at least had very poor
memory and the latter gentleman de-
parted rather hastily from Beaver
Sunday evening without hquidating
the debt. Sheriff Miller followed in
hot pursuit about thirty minutes later
and overlook the gentleman at the
farm home Of n ID. Neff where the
machine had broken down and Mr..
Emerson was preparing te resume his
journey with team and buggy. After
having his attention called to the mat
ter Emerson readily remembered that
he bad forgotten something and
promptly paid Sheriff Miller his money
OF course it is barely possible that the
gentleman did forget to stra;ghten up
the matter before leaving town or il
was his intention to return later and
settle, but, it looks very much to a
man on the fence, that he was trying
to make his getaway without even al
much as thanking Mr.. Miller for hi:
assistance.

ARTIFICIAL LIGHT FOR BIRDS.
LenJthens Their Day, Giving Them
 More Time for Feeding.

Winter has alW:ys proved a trying time for rare and delicate birds in the zoolo7ical gardens. One interesting theory has been advanced. that owing to the long nights in these attitudes in winter the poor birds do not feed 'ong enough during the day to keep boty and soul together" In the old insect house some good was effecteI by inducing the birds to feed before dawn with the aid of a powerful motor amp which was placed there an hour n the winter.
 In the new small birdhouse. says the London Daily Mail. an elaborate in
 andescent gaslight installation has just been completed. It is controlled from outside and at six o'clock in the morning a watchman switches on the lights.
 Immediately a chorus of songs breaks out from the aroused birds. which start breakfast immediately. This extra feeding time has already produced good results in the shape of improved condition of the birds of par adise, mynuhs and other rare tropical birds in he house

Many of the new books come out in serial form in the magazines and pa CTS. Cut out the installments as they appear and glue them together-book fashion, if from a magazine, or in one long strip if taken from a newspaper. Take long. stout envelope. paste the nalEe of the story on the back, fold the sheets or strips of clippings and place in ihe envelope. This is a book which takes only small space on the shelves, and the name is easily seen from the outside.

VALVELESS CAR TO BE
DEMONSTRATED ON COAST
Mr.. Bekins Will Start Tomorrow on
Long Trip and May Place
Branch Agencies

Leaving Los Angeles early Monday
morning, August q Mr.. Bekins of the
Bekins- Corey Motor Car company,
coast distributors for the American
Simplex and Atlas Valveless cars,
starts on a demonstrating trip up the
coast.
He will stop and show the car in all
the principal towns along the valley
route The first night will be spent at
Bakersfield, and Fresno will be reached
during Wednesday. Here the party
will stay for several days.
All automobile men along the way
are invited to inspect the wonderful
valveless car which is making such a
good showing in the southern part of
the state.
From Fresno the journey north
through the valley will be resumed,
stopping at various points, but expect
ing to reach San Francisco Monday,
August 8.
The car will attract a great deal of
attention in the Bay city, and, accord
ingly, the stay there will be indefinite.
The return trip will most probably be
made by the coast route, but this has
not as yet been definitely decided.
The Bekins-C Motor Car COM
pany is looking over the northern ter
ritory, as it contemplates placing a
branch agency or more than one in the
north.
Until the return to Los Angeles, how
ever these locations will not be decided
on, but San Francisco and Fresno are
the most likely places.
