CONTEMPORARY COMMENT

Any Beaverites who might have
been trying to stick on the water
wagon" had an excellent opportunity
to slide off last Friday. A broken
axle caused the street sprinkler wag-
on to upset that day at the corner
of Second and Douglas. The driver
had a narrow escape from being
caught beneath the wagon as 1t fell,
but, fortunately was thrown clear.
No serious damage was done. :"
During the past week two sales
companies, one calling themselves
the Eastern Sample Sales Company"
and the other the Western Sales
Company" drifted into Beaver with
a stock of clothing and conducted a
few days sale. They gathered in as
many dollars as they could CLEAN,
and like the Arab, folded their tent
and silently stole away" leaving the
home merchants to keep up the tax
es, support the schools and churches
and subscribe to other public Jbene-
fits, while the "Sales Companies" go
on from town to town, paying little
or nothing and taking trade away
from legitimate business men. Some
action should be taken, and that at
once, to make this class of travelling
dealers pay their share toward the
support of the town, or shut them
out. A good stiff city ordinance
regulating such traffic should be
passed.-Beaver Herald.
We might have had head-end col
lision to report, but, fortunately for
the occupants, both cars were
stopped when within a hairs breadth
of each other. This all happened In
Meade, one day this week, and all be-
cause of "jay driving" We didn't
witness the proceeding, but this is
the account as reported to us: One
car, an out-of-town Studebaker, was
coming west on Carthage avenue,
and was keeping to the right; the
other, town car, was going south
on North Fowler avenue, keeping to
the left. At the First National Bank
corner both cars turned, the Stude-
baker north and the town car east,
and then each driver saw what was
about to happen. Meade is in need
of an ordinance regarding vehicles,
with a keep to the right" section in
it.-Meade News.

We all wish them the best of success
on their trips and trust that they will
play the same high class of basket ball
as they have been playing the last Two
weeks.
Our friend Stowe High should by no
mea s be thrown out of our minds
because, although she is second, she
will positively close the season among
the leaders. She has played all of her
games but four and stand with a good
average. She has not more than two
more hard games. and unless unfore-
seen i'll luck attacks her, she will have
good claim on the championship.
Burlington High fell to third place
through her loss to S. Fl. and p. A. the
last week but she too has. played
nearly all of her hard games and she
will not hand the honors over to any
one without fight.
Montpelier High has lost only three
games but she has several hard games
yet to play, and unless she takes
brace at once she will have no claim
to the honoIs.

ball during the last two weeks but we
fear that her poor start put perma-
nent spoke in her wheel.
Hardwick Academy has ceased to be
considered as possible contestant for
