J OVER THE STATE ;

Heed this from Shannon Hountjoy,
who in the Columbia Times takes a
fall out of 1.-THE Higher Foolishness.
Sociology being science without
boundary lines or beginning or end
ing, naturally his great latitude for
its theories and also for the language
which seeks to render them intelligl-
BILE. From the Utopian dreams OF
the higher minds down to the anna
teur Investigators who score points
on country almshouses and specu-
late upon the esthetic elevation OF
distressed burglars, sociology offers
an unlimited field for the exploita-
ton of theories which laboriously
seek the opposite pole of horse sense
in language suited to such propagan-
da. Its language is the natural out
growth of an attempt to reform
things that cannot be reformed and
of that muddle- mindedness which
mistakes words for facts and judges
of the value of ideals by the vehem-
ence, picturesqueness or grotesque-
ness of their expression"

Dynamite was necessary to break
the ice jams on the Arkansas river
and Pawnee creek which threatened
the new railroad bridges on the An
thony & Northern last week. o. P.
Byers, president of the Anthony Il
Northern railway, telephones to ]. e.
Waite, chief engineer of the COM
pany, who is at Larned, to use dyna-
mite and blast the ice jams again il
such measures are necessary to save
the bridges of the company. The
ice which tore out three wagon
bridges in Ford and Finney counties
last week is at Larned and it threat
ened the new bridge across the Ar
kansas river there. The bridge joins
Battle Island with the mainland.
Piles have been driven part way
across, and the pile driver is out Oh
false work, near mid-stream, so it is
an easy matter for the ice jam to in
tiict damage. However, Mr.. Byers
said that he thought one shot of
dynamite would blow all of the ice
away. Battle Island is the ancient
fighting ground of the Pawnee and
Comanche Indians, and it is an
island between the creek and the
river. The A. & N has but recently
completed a bridge across Pawnee
creeks, and the ice jam in this
stream splintered and took out two
pilings. The bridge is 900 feet above
the junction of the creek and the
river, and is 700 feet across the
island from the river bridge now I'M
der construction. The bridge now
across Pawnee creek is "a feet in
length, and the one being built
across the river is 800 feet in length.
The Arkansas river here is doing no
damage. The stream is not much
above what it has been for several
days and there is not much ice COM
ing down.-A. & N. Item in the

A. w. Robbins, who lives one mile

big crop this last season. He has
just finished threshing and hauling
last week and when figured out, he
had sold 5,519 bushels of kafir and
feterita and received $2,348.78 for
it. This crop was raised on 40
acres of land and makes an average
of 40 bushels to the acre. Mr.. Rob
bins landed on his claim eleven years
ago this March with one team,
harness and wagon, one COW, $136 in
money and wife and two children

According to William Allen White,
there's no reason why person born
a low brow should remain such.
Here's a program guaranteed to
make a high brow out of even the
lowest of the low brows: Buy a
Lit'ry magazine, read the dope on
books, and talk books. Read the
theatrical notices carefully and talk
show, Get a photograph and play
classical pieces, and talk music Get
dictionary, and read it backwards,
and people will think you are talking
philosophy. And then who will know
but that you are a high brow? It's
been tried a million times, and it
never fails.

They are telling this one on Alex

hens. One of them evinced a strong

when the time had elapsed for hatch
ing, he examined the eggs carefully,
shook them and listened for peeps. "

them and found the inside to be solid

The past few days have been a

A small booster item by Miss
Maud Thomas of the Beaver Herald:
IF anyone doubts for a moment that
Beaver is not busy place, they
should come and take look at the
old town. Look in that direction
you may and you will see new
houses and other improvements be-
ing made. The town is simply a-stir
with activity and there is something
doing all the time. The busiest sec
ton just now is on the north side
where three elevators are in course
of construction, rooming house is
being built the railroad track is be-
ing completed, house tracks and side
tracks are being laid, grain bins are
being built, two oil stations and i'm
mense storage tanks have been erect
ed, yards for hogs and cattle ship
pers have been constructed and a
string of teams are constantly going
back and forth from the cars on the
side tracks unloading merchandise
for our merchants and loading
wheat, kafir, maize, barley and other
grains. A visit to the north side
most any day will find the streets
crowded with wagons and a general
spirit of life and hustle fills the air.

wonderful change in old Beaver and
