produced the first home grown pota.
toes. ready for the table, that las been
reoorted to this Office this year, he
having feasted on that delectable aud
altogether exclusive vegetable, from
his own garden, the past week. We
suggest that Mr.. May set up q guard

slEs CLUB GIRLS GIVE PROGRAM.

The B. II. s. glee club girls gave an
other Of their pleasing programs, at
The Globe, Tuesday evening Of last
week. This program was given to
give all an opportunity to hear the
contest songs which the girls sung at
Alva and to display the splendid
trophy which they won by their efforts
in the Northwestern Meet. As usual,
the girls was greeted with q good
crowd and all enjoyed the program
immensely. In addition to the con-
test songs, the program WAS filed with
all new numbers and many popular
selections. The staging was also very
attractive.
This closed the work for the glse
club for the year, high school having
closed Friday. Tho girls have GER
tainly done we'll and too much credit
cannot be given their capable director.
Ars. Hill, for the tireless and efficient
manner in which she has directed
them. The work of the glee club girls
at homo and their visits to the sur
rounding towns. particularly their
participation in the Meet st Alvs and
their part in entertaining the Wood
ward Boosters last week did much to
advertise Beaver schools.

OFF AsIN! onAeIN! GONE AeIM! FINAleAH!

The Democrat took a little journey
to the sticks last week ss result Of a
bad disposition and worse judgment.
II the river don't rise, they may move
back to town in the near future. You
see it was this way. Johnny Jones,
ex-sheriff Of Beaver county, auctioneer
OF no small fame, dealer in the famous
Wisconsin Holstiens, etc., ETC., etc.,
happened 30 own the building in which !
the Democrat has been published since
the 'cat came back" to Beaver, in the
night. Now Tooker was behind With
his rent and Jones wanted his money
(what an idea who ever heard Of any.
one wanting rent money! SO he told
Tooker to pay up or move out. Now it
chanced that Jones did not own the
lot on which the building stood, the
same belonging to H. d. Meese. In
the mean time, Tooker secured a lease
on the lot, 80 he tells Jones 70 allow
him for lease on the lot to apply on the
rent or get his little old building of.
Since it appeared that Tooker had only
secured his lease April Both, johnny
didn't feel that he owed him much
lease money, so out Tooker got with
his De mocrst outfit under his arm and
camped in the Jerome Wilson build
ing, toward Tipperary. Jones then
sold the building to John Goetzlnger
and he in turn sold to Tooker, who an.
nounced in his paper last week that
the building was undergoing extern
sive improvements at the completion
Of which, he would move back. A new
side window was put In the building.
Some improvements, Ell? So goes it.
We've been expecting an eruption like
unto Vesuvius, over that way for some
time. What 10 that old adage, "When
thieves fall out. etc.3" Anyway, it
wasn't nice in Tooker not to pay his
rent after all the nice feedin' he had
gotten at the pie counter. Methinks
il The Herald had been shovsled out
the patronage, regardless Of price. in
such generous manner a. the Demo.
crat has received everything in the
power Of those who had it In for The
Herald to throw that way, We would
not even have waited for Johnny to
come after his rent but would have
run clear across the street and begged
him to take the money. Oh, ingrati-
tude, though art truly q monster!
