CowAN FOR COUNTY TREAS
URER


--rhe Herald Is more than glad to
present the name OF T. NJ. Cowan
as a Republican candidate for coun-
ty treasurer. Mr.. Cowan is now
serving his first term as treasurer.
having received the appointment up
on the resignation OF A. p. owen,
elect, and while he has only served
short time, we believe his record
Is such as will heartily recommend
him for election.
Before coming TO Beaver county
some sixteen years ago, Mr.. Cowan
served as senior clerk In the Enid
post office for five years and was
compelled to resign and come west
on account OF III health. Since com
ing to Beaver county he has taught
school.
Concerning his record as county
treasurer, Il speaks for itself. Mr..
Cowan took office July 1921 and
at that time not half of the 1921
taxes were paid. At this time in
addition to collecting a vast amount
of delinquent tax. the records show
that Mr.. Cowan has collected more
than two-thirds of the current years
taxes and, at a time when money
has been scarcer than the proverbial
hens teeth. We claim that is
some good record. This, IN addi-
tion to familiarizing himself with
the many and intricate duties OF
the county treasurer's office, speaks
louder than words of his ability.
The Herald believes that Mr.. Co
wan is making the county treasur-
er's office. speaks louder than words
of his ability.
| The Herald believes that Mr.
Cowan Is making the county an
excellent treasurer and that he is
altogether capable and worthy OF
election.

MRS RoBERTsoN's MOTHER DIES

II. Robertson's mother will be read
with regret by the many Beaver friends
of both Mrs. Robertson and Mrs. Tay-
lor, the latter having visited here. 1t
will be remembered that Mr.. and Mrs.
Robertson left Beaver about two years
ago going to Mrs. Taylor's farm, near
Maysville, Missouri, to care for Mrs.
Taylor and also Mr.. Robertson's moth
er, who lived near.
Mrs. Mary Ellen Taylor
Mary Ellen Warwick was born in
Illinois, March 4th, ls40, and died at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. w. H.
Robertson, near Maysville, Mo-, /, De-
Kalb county, May 4th, 1922, at $3.50
a, m.
Her parents came to Missouri when
she was a small child and settled near
Unionville, Putnam county, where she
grew to young womanhood She was
married to Robert Taylor April Stn,
1856, near her childhood home. To this
union were born l3 children, six girls
and seven boys, seven Of whom are
Ruth Jane, Nancy EIlen, jefferson
Davis, Malissa Emily, John Milton,
Marshall Warren, VIM Harrison, Jen-
ME Lind, Solona Bell, Chester, Frank
Brown, Alfred and Lucy Frances.
In Mrs. Taylor's going, Dekalb
county gave up another of her noble
women. She had been i'll over two
years and up until the time of the at
tack of her fatal disease, for person
of her age had enjoyed good health.
Throughout the entire period of her
sickness she had received the most
careful attention, but circumstances
were against her recovery. The very
weight of years upon her would not
allow her friends to believe she could
ever be well again, nor could she.
She fell into a happy sleep at the end
Of a long and. useful career. With a
strong faith. radiant hope and q
dauntless courage, she went away
quietly but quickly into the Land that
is Fairer than day" Now she lives IN
the presence of redeemed spirits with
Him who loved her and gave Himself
for her.
Her husband preceded her to the
other life, October 1st, 1912. Mrs.
Taylor was a good religious woman.
Her friends we're numbered by her

Lumber Situation in Cuba.

Lumber which a year ago sold az
so to $50 per thousand feet Is now
being disposed OF at from SIS 20 $50
according to reports received by the
lumber division Of the Department
of Commerce. During the last year
a weeding-out process has been gong
on. which has cleaned up the Cuban
lumber import trade and rriNen certain
undesirable elements out Of the lum-
Der import business. Tho remain
ing lumber importers arc chiefly
Spaniards. who announce their deter
mination to pay 60 the best Of their
ability what they owe.
One Of the largest bankers In Cubs.
recognized as an authority on Cuban
conditions, expresses the opinion that
there is no business in Cuba at tie
present time in so satisfactory a con-
dition as the lumber business. The
same authority states that whereas Il
is usually difficult for other indus
tries in Cuba to obtain the necessary
credit from the banks. the lumber
merchants Of good standing are not
placed in the same position.

FAILURES LAST WEEK.

An increase in the total num-
ber' Of failures in the United
States was shown last week by the
figures reported to r. G. Dun &
Co. The week which contained but
five business days, shows a total
of 61O failures as compared with
ssh incolvencies the previous week
and 462 defaults shown in the COR
responding week in 1921. There
were less failures last week in the
West and Pacific Coast sectionsras
compaTed with the previous week,
whilsran increase was shown in the
East and South.
QS-last weeks total number of
failures, 3T5 had liabilities of
$1,000 or more in each instance.
wpicb is equivalent to SIS per
cent of the total number. The
previous week.. when there were
32S, similar failures, the ratio was
561 per cent. while last year dur
ings the same period the defaults
Of $4,000 or more numbered 22O and
theAratio was 47.6 per cent.
There was a loss shown in the
Canadian failures last week over
those, reported a week ago. Last
week, there were Sc failures, while
the previous week 81 were re-
ported and during the same week
in 1921 only a. insolvencies were
reported. Those with liabilities of
$4,000 or more number 80, while

AMERICAN FOOD

Wheat Market Shows
Tendency in Favor of
Seller.

British trade returns for 1921 re-
veal to a surprising degree the
strength of American food products
sales. according to a cablegram re-
ceived, by the Department of Com
merce from Special Representative
Dennis. The wheat market which
had Tor six months shown a trend
In favor Of the buyer, Mr.. Dennis
states, now displays a tendency in
favor of the seller. The principal
bearish factor is the prospect OF
large shipments from the Southern
Hemisphere The new Argentine
crop is reported of superior quality
sound and heavy wheat, and further
being sold on an attractive basis
of full outturn drafts at ninety
days sight. makes a strong appeal
to the British millers. The price
of corn improves with that of
wheat Better feeling prevails, par
ticulariy in the forwarding bus
mess.
There has been a gratifying In
crease Mr.. Dennis cables in the
value of business in the three prin-
cipal cereal items (wheat. barley.
and corn) as over 1918. The value
Of wheat imports doubled, and that
OF barley tripled. Corn showed a
gain of E1,500.000. The decline in
oats was governed by the law OF
diminishing consumption. as the
horse is displaced in urban centers
by internal-combustio engines.
American. sales OF pork products TO
the United Kingdom show a con-
siderable advance in bacon, ham
and lard. This trade was valued al
nearly fls,0O0.0o0 more in 1921 than
in 1913. The vigorous growth OF
American foodstuffs trade in the
British market in a year of severe
business depression is worth atteh-
tive consideration. British pur-
chases of American refined sugar
during January were unusually
heavy.
The European crop outlook. the
cable states. has become more
promising during the past thirty
days. The recent abundant rainfall
provides adequate subsoil moisture
after a serious deficiency extending
over a period OF six months: this
with the mild weather, favors the
progress OF the winter crop OF
Western Europe. Fall sowings are
further helped by snow covering the

however less than in any preceding
year. AS regards import trade.
though somewhat greater than I'm
1929. its relative Importance was
much less than before the war.
These statements ID not apply
equally to all sections of the Eu-

In 1921 the total exports of>the

state the truth, as considerable
quantities of American goods ex-
ported in the first instance to
Western Europe, Scandinavia or
Central Europe are reshipped
thence TO Eastern Europe. To a
less degree. for similar reasons, our

STRONGER TONE

Increased Volume of Trade
Results in Maximum Price
Gain of 35 Points.

NEW YORK. Feb. 1S.-The cotton
market was more active today and
stronger from the opening with
prices making a maximum rise of
80 to IS points throughout the con-
tract list. This brought the mar
ket up to the highest levels reached
since early in January. March con-
tracts advanced to 1915. May In,
July about 17as and next october of

persistent strength the market has
been showing throughout the week
made many large shorts nervous.
Some of them were covering today.
but others continued to resist the
advancing tendency which has been

BILE supply of American cotton for
the week of over 10000 bales at
tracted considerable attention as
did also the further sharp rise in
sterling exchange to about AZ to
the pound. Moreover trade reports
from Fall River were better and an
effort is being made to settle the
cotton MIL strikes in New Hamp-
shire and Rhode Island by arbitra-
ton. While there were no Liver
pool markets today. some of the
Liverpool houses were good buyers
here. but IL was the appearance of
brokers who USUALLY trade for i'm
portant Japanese interests as active
buyers after the first hour which
had a good deal to do with causing
the numerous shorts among the
local trading element TO cover to-
ward the close.
This competitive buying with not
much contracts pressing for sale
on. the market gave il an appear
ance of greater strength than it
has shown for some time past. Next
Thursday is the first dav for the
issuance of "'noticesS for the deliv-
cry of cotton on March. contracts.
There is very large interest out
standing in the month on both
sides with both New Orleans and
