WHAT ANOTHER RAILROAD
WOULD MEAN TO BEAVER
(From Beaver Heraldl

This paper has been pushing the
proposition of another, or other, rail
roads for Beaver, the past few
months in particular, and for years
in general. Up to date our argu-
ment has fallen upon deaf ears, in
Beaver, for we have not been able
to learn of any activity along that
line. We are glad to note, by a
letter this week from a subscriber
in Wichita, Kansas, that our argu-
ments have not gone entirely unread
and that one property owner in Beav-
err at least, shares our belief that we
should go after and secure more rail-
roads for Beaver. Perhaps there are
others here in Beaver and in the
surrounding territory who agree with
us in this particular, but they are
keeping mighty quiet. How about
lit? What are we going to do? The
letter follows
Wichita, Kans., Jan. 18th, 1920.
The Beaver Herald,
Beaver, Okla.
notice that you are pushing the
proposition to get one or more rail-
roads into Beaver. These are days
when if we get anything, we must
go after it. Railroads are no longer
built without the cooperation of the
communities A railroad into Beav-
err would double the value of every
city lot and it would add $1,000
per acre to every acre of land with
in six miles of the railroad and $500
per acre to lands in five to ten miles
of a railroad. With one road built,
others would come, for you have I'M
usual advantages, very rich coun-
try in every direction and you are
right on the river where you have
ample water power for all sorts of
works, you have an unlimited supply
of sand in your city limits which is
worth thousands of dollars to any
city. You are in the heart of the
cattle region and one of the best
farming countries anywhere with
thousands of acres that would pro-
duce fine alfalfa, in fact, you are
abundantly blessed with natural re-
sources. All you lack is Transports
ton and more people and the people
would come with transportation.
We have no information as to
what the proposition is for Beaver
but we are interested in Beaver lands
in that country. We own 100 acres
adjoining the town and stand ready
to do our part toward getting a rail
road
Wichita today is the best town in
Kansas for the reason that when the
town had but 100 population, it got
busy and pulled the railroad from

a periodic inspection will do more
good than any amount of guesswork.
The car owner can either make this
inspection himself or have it made
free Of charge at any service station.
They will tell him the exact condition
of his battery, what it needs and how
he should take care of it in order to
get the best results from it. A bat
terry should not be allowed to run
down, especially in cold weather, be-
cause the danger of freezing is great
er when the charge is weak. The re-
suits of frozen battery are too seri-
Gus to be risked thru the lack of at
tention. Since the successful opera
ton of electric lighting and starting
systems depends to such a great ex-
tent upon the storage battery, it only
seems natural that the car owner
should take care of his battery and
follow the suggestions offered by
those who have good in mind.

strength and a great deal Of driving
is necessary in order to have it re-
cuperate. Or you may have seen q
motor car standing at the curb on a
cold winter night with all the lights
burning full blast. These are things
that can be avoided and little fore
sight on the part of the car owner
will save him a great deal of incon-
venience later on.
Printing the motor is one way to
avoid the necessity of having the
starter spin the motor for any length
of time. Back in the days of the
crank a car owner would not have
attempted to start his motor on a
cold morning without first printing it.
Today he is too prone to leave it en-
tirely to his electrical system and he
does not think of the inconvenience
caused him if that system goes
wrong.
It isn't necessary to worry about
storage battery all the time in or
der to keep it working properly, but

COLD WEATHER AND
STORAGE BATTERIES

If you've ever had the experience
of cranking a motor with the tenn
perature 10 degrees below zero you'll
appreciate the Importance of keep
ing your storage battery in good con-
dition during the winter months.
Here are a few suggestions which
every motor car owner will do well
to heed.
Very little trouble is experienced
with storage battery if it is kept
filled with distilled water and fully
charged. Often a motor car owner
has difficulty in starting his motor
in cold weather and blames his
storage battery when it is due to
some other cause. For instance,
you've probably seen somebody try
to start their motor and heard the
starter turn over and over for sew
eral minutes. Naturally such per-
formance drains the battery of its
