A star of hope springs up in the
breasts of the people of Beaver
county as the new year advances
Good crops in 1914 have encouraged
and inspired them to put forth bet
ter efforts to succeed, and no doubt
there is a greater acreage of wheat
growing in Beaver county today than
there ever was before. and those
who have not put their stake In
wheat are making extensive plans
for next springs crops, which are
generally as profitable as wheat.
Still busy harvesting 1914 crops,
they are planning bigger things for
1915. Financially, Beaver county is
in better condition than 1t ever has
been. More debts have been paid,
more mortgages wiped out, and more
and bigger deposits are shown In the
bank statements than any previous
year Nearly every ldIlel has
either more improvement, more
stock, more land, more money (more
chldren) and less Indebtedness than
he had a year ago. Material pros
perity has been accompanied by ease
of mind and buoyancy of spirit and
that element of hope which Springs
eternal in the human breast" And
prospects are good for the future.
While we are not entirely RESPONSE
BILE for the causes which brought
about our prosperity plenty OF
moisture making good crops and the
war in Europe, high pricesLwe need
not worry, We are responsible only
for our own acts, and as we worn
and strive to accomplish that which
seems to be our appointed task. we
will succeed. With due regard to
Providence for the prosperity the
year just closing has brought to the
people of Beaver county. here's hop
ing that 1915 may be even more
prosperous and that happiness will
attend in large measure Forgan

The NIulvane News tells of young
farmer down there who is milking
seven cows and his milk check last
month was $133.60. That is better
than $40 per COW. Is that worth
while? Down there they have de
cided that COW that will not bring
500 per year is not worth keeping,
and most of the farmers will not
keep that kind. This COW business
is worth tnlnklng about, folks. Ii

A young lady living in this city

She went upstairs and had just
turned out the light when she heard
a caller ask for her. She made a
dive for her powder puff in the dark
and busted her face with the pow
der. She went down to the parlor
and found distinguished caller, on
whom she was anxious to make a
good impression. He appeared non
plussed at her looks, but being a man
of the world, was wise enough not
to tell a woman her faults, and he
said nothing. She sat and chatteu
gracefully and had delightful eve

rushed to the mirror, as every girl
does when her beau leaves. She gave
one scream and went off into hys-

What the 1.-THE Will Do.

The official statistical report for
1913 of the Seventh Day Advent
lists, who believe that Gods law OF
the tenth of income is of the same
binding force as his other law OF
the seventh of time, says Thomas
Kane, gives the total membership
of their church in North. America
at 71,863. Their contributions to
foreign missions for 1913 was
$499,713.65, an average OF VT 10
per annum for each member, or not
quite IA cents week. If the COM
bined membership of the Metho-
dist and Presbyterian churches
had given as much per capita as
the members of the Seventh Day
Adventists, $685. each, their COM
bined contributions to foreign mis-
sions in 1913 would have amounted
to over $50, $4,000 instead Of q
little more than $3,045,0

PEA RIDGE.

AS to the oddity of the above
name, it's history is brief. A man,
who once resided in this locality,
said the land here was so poor it
would only grow stock peas; hence
those familiar with the story know
the place as Pea Ridge. However,
the land hereabouts has improved
in fertility, gullies have been filed,
modern farming methods are COM
ing into vogue and we are produc-
ing not only peas but corn, cotton,
potatoes, beans, sorghum, hay and
other necessary products for home
consumption. Ultimately-when
we adopt intensive farming-Pea
Ridge will produce large surplus
of marketable crops and thus help
to bring more money into Benton
County and thereby prove a bless
ing in disguise.

ITS UP TO YOU.

If every man who reads this
and every woman, too would make
it his or her business, the next hour
he or she has, to look around the
home premises and see how they
could be fixed up to look better it
would be great thing for this
town. 1t might not induce people
to do any more than rake up the
sticks that are lying around.
That alone would be great
help. But maybe while raking up
the loose leaves you would find
there is loose board in the side
walk, broken picket in the fence,
that the corner of the porch has
sagged or that the front steps need
a new plank in them. And, as you
would want to make a complete
job of it, you would see that these
repairs are made.
Maybe the house has needed a
new coat of paint for a long time.
Perhaps new curtains are needed
at the front windows. And the in
side of the house is quite as i'm
portant as the outside-is more i'm
portant, for it is on the inside you
live and where visitors get their
real impression of you and of the
town.
Maybe before you get through,
if you will really look about you,
there will be several things that
can be made to look vastly better
with the aid of a few boards or
little varnish or small expendi-
ture of money. Collectively the eff
feet on this town would be great.
There is no economy In letting
things run down and putting re-
pairs off. A house that needs re-
pairs is going down hill; and a
house that is going down hill is
losing value-value both in money
and comfort. Let's make this a
better looking town; and let's be-
gin, like charity, at home.

CHASES EX-HUBBY.

Paris, Tenn, July l2-Dashing
through the streets of Paris in an
automobile, in pursuit Of her three
little children, whom she claims
were kidnapped from her within n
few seconds after her arrival, Mrs.
Burgis Davis of Murray, KY, in a
vain attempt to prevent their de-
parture on a fast train bound for
Memphis, managed to board the
train as it was leaving the station.
A dramatic scene ensued with her
divorced husband and the children,
who, after thrilling fight in an
other auto, had safely boarded the
outbound train.
On a warrant charging kidnap-
ing of the three children, two boys
and girl, aged 3, 7 and 10, Davis
was taken into custody at Milan.
He will be returned to Paris to an
swer to the charges. Mrs. Davis
is Frustrated at local hotel.
Hundreds of citizens watched the
speeding of the two autos through
the main business section late yes
terday afternoon. The flight was
between the Nashville, Chattanoo-
ca and st. Louis and the Louisville
and Nashville depots.
It is claimed that Davis, who has
been living at Murphysboro, ILL.,,
since the couple were divorced
about three years ago, asked that
he be allowed to see his children.
He arrived in Paris only short
time ago. Mrs. Davis, who has
been residing at Murray, KY, was
warned by her friends that if she
brought her children to Paris she
would do SO at her own risk.
When she arrived several of her
friends were at the depot to greet
her. While fluctuations were in
order, Davis, who had an auto wait
ing, gathered the three children
together, it is said, and placing
them in the machine, began his
fight to the depot.
The discovery of the daring act
was made by Mrs. Davis, who was
attracted by the outcry of one OF
children.
She rushed frantically after the
auto but it disappeared around 6
corner. Hastily chartering anoth.
er machine, she dashed after the
fleeing occupants.
Her entreaties at the train were
to no avail, and, unable to get oil
the moving cars, she was carried to
Mckenzie. Upon her return tc
Paris warrant was sworn out.
Davis will be returned to Paris
in custody of Deputy Sheriff l.
W. Mitchell.
AS sequel to the above Sheriff
j. G. Parker was advised Monday
evening by the Henry County Off,
Gals that Davis had eluded them
and was headed this way. Sheriff
Parker and Marshal A. N. Pafford
went to Hollow Rock Junction that
night and overhauled Davis just as
was boarding the train. Marshal
Pafford remained with Davis until
the arrival of officers from Paris,
We learn that later Davis eluded
the officers again, taking the chill
dren with him.

Eighteen counties in Kansas have no "poor houses". Thirty two of the 105 counties have no paupers. The total cost of keep ing the dependent poor of Kansas is about 10 cents for each person in the state. Yet we are told that 32 years of prohibition has ruined the state. If this be ruin, give us some more of the same, says the Kansas City Globe.
 In spite of the strict censorship kept over all news that comes from the nations at war, reports are continually leaking out, tell ing of famine and bread riots. The least news comes from Ger many, but even from there the facts occasionally creep out and there can be no doubt that the poor of Germany are suffering severely. In all of these nations, however, those in whose hands lies the power to make war and peace, may still feast at will. And so, in spite of the suffering of the masses, the war must con- tinue until these rulers are tired of their game of chess with human pawns.

How Shall We Cut Expenses

The city of Williams is at pres ept in need of reducing it's run ming expenses. There are a great many things which the city ought to do that it cannot at present for want of funds. This being the case, the expenses of the city should be carefully stud jed to ascertain if there are not some items which might be re- duced.
 There is one item of expense which has always appealed to the News as being unnecessarily large. That is the expense of lighting. In two ways we be- lieve this might be materially reduced: First by turning all of the lights in the residence dis trict off at Twelve o'clock; and Second, by turning the lights off entirely on all moonlight nights. We can usually count on having a good bright moon during the early part of the night for over a week each month. Cloudy nights would of course be an exception, but after all these are compara- lively few. r f4s
 Why should not these things be done? Many city of twenty thousand population does the same thing, and some of these do not so much as have night police. With our night marshal we should have no need of lights after midnight except in. the business section. Our present night marshal does not care to have the residence lights on. He says they are no help to him.
 One objection may be urged at present against having the lights off at midnight, and that is the present method of turning the lights off. But why may not that also be remedied. Why not go to work and get all of our lights put on circuits commanded from the power house?
 The News will be pleased to receive suggestions from anyone as to other ways of reducing the towns expenses.
