AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Once upon a time a bright
paragrapher wrote: “A mail’d
mail will reach him when
nothing else can.” Somehow
the saying lived and flourished
for a while and then died. It
died because it was not wholly
true. Admitting, however, that
it is true that a man’s mail will
reach him when nothing else
can the “rub” comes when we
anal:, ::o the meaning of "reach
hi v ‘ a is true that most men
epen lhair mail. For a good
many years the mail-order
houses have existed on the
strength of that fact. But ad
vert' . g must do more than
“rea h” a person, it must reach
his needs, hi3 sense of fairness,
his de 're and interest, and
the conveniences of his pocket
book.
For every mail-order advertise
ment that actually reaches the
spot, that is, makes a sale, the
newspaper can with eminent
fairness claim a much greater
result. The newspaper actually
“reaches” its readers and the
buying public. It is handed
from busy father to busy
mother. The young men and
young women scan it. The
children peruse it. The news
paper i3 given credence be
cause it is strictly a home pro
duct. It is, or should be, reli
able. It is a part of the com
munity where it is established.
It is “one of the family.” If a
man will “walk a mile for a
camel” or a match, he will, so
far as inclination goes, walk
five for his favarite newspaper.
What, then, has the newspap
er to oppose? Really nothing.
Who, then are the news
paper’s competitors? Strictly
speaking, nobody. The news
paper’s field is wicae, with
the conclusion of its possibili
ties unreached. No form of ad
vertising ever has, and none
ever will, measure up in value
to that of the home newspaper.
So we might well conclude by j
inventing this one: a man’s
w'll reach his waste-bask
et when nothing else will.
Are you sure that you are get
ting the best out of life? Are
you living your own life so that
the world-the community in
which you live-is better be
cause you live there? It is ad
mittedly not easy to radiate
happiness if one is not physic
ally fit, but who has not known
a sick -room that has proved a
veritable benediction because
of the cheery way, the daunt
less courage, with which its oc
•upant faces physical suffer
ing? It is not easy to be gaj
when the pinch of poverty is
felt, but we all know people
whose cheerfullness puts to
shame some of those who are
well-blest with this world’s
roods. It all depends on one’s
attitude toward life. The heart
and mind determine whether
I one is a blessing to the com
| munity or a curse, or merely
neither one nor the other.
To get the best out of life,
one must forget self. The
greatest happiness is to be
found in service-glad, willing
ervice to loved ones, to the
home, to the community or to
the state. This principle is
as old as the Golden Rule, but
it needs constant reiteration.
Life today is complex. Even in
the country it is not nearly so
:imple as it was a quarter of a
•entury ago. The mad rush
after money affects even the
luiet places, and one is apt to
feel that \ individual effort
counts for naught. It counts
’or everything! A communty
s but a group ofndividuals. If
they work together the com
munity thrives. If they work
against the common good, it
fails.
Think how much depends on
you! Which shall it be in your
nommunty? Up or down?

An alien does not change in
to a citizen over night. The
-•hanging of his dress may be
done in an hour. The chang
ing of his speech is a longer
process. And the changing 01
his ideas is still longer.
Really, to become a citizen^oi
our country, a man must first |
turn his mind from the old,
land to the new; he must learn ;
how American institutions
have grown and how they art
carrie d on; he must share very j
largely in the benefits that will
come to understand what art i
a citizen’s responsibilities in
this land.
Just For Fun
According to the Blueberry
Kid, those who say honesty is
the best policy have never
tried telling a homely girl just
how she looks.
Many a chap who thought he
loved at first sight, has been
entirely cured when he "took a
second look.
If your children never lie tc
you it goes to show that the in
fluence of example has been j
over estimated.
Oren F. says love and sausage
are full of mysteries that no de
tective can unravel.
John D. Rockefeller will
leave behind one example ol
imitation. He waited until his
S6th birthday to write his
first poem.

If waistlines are going high
er as fashion notes predict, and
if skirts are goin to remain
iust as short-then, oh, what i
then?
Jens says one of the reasons
!ie’s so crazy about babies h
ecause they don’t run around
telling everybody the cute
things their parents said.
The Valdez Miner recalls/the
following humorous yarn of
he early days of Valdez:
When the camp was young
he Rev. Frederick C. Taylor,
now of Astoria, Oregon, was
•ector of the Valdez Episcopal
Church. “Kid” Brown had a
taloon, dance hall and gamb
ing house on a nearby corner, j
Meeting the rector one day !
Brown greeted him and, refer
ing to the fact of the church
being on one corner and his
own establishment on the oth
er, remarked genially: “Well,
between us, we had ought to
get the money.”
Ben says that when you stop
to figure out that all lips fit,
you have just got to admit
that nature is a grand thing.
Photographer: “Would you
like to have this photograph
enlarged, madam?”
Mrs. Stuyvesant Fishbaum:
“Heavens, no! I spend most of
my time trying to reduce.”
Frankly, we don’t know any
thing about the Dutch langu
age as it spoken in Holland,
but ever since we saw the
Dutch word for “automobile”
we have been wondering. The
Dutch word for automobile is
“ snellpaarselooszoondeerspo-1
orwegptroolriztung”!

One of the hardest rules in
the little game of life, is the
one that forces the old but
competent man into idleness
and gives his job to a young i
but incompetent one.
The moat unpopular man in a
jertain Indiana town is the
ninister, He has performed ev
jry marriage service there for
forty years.
In future centuries this will
oe referred to as the era in
which the airplane arrived and
he petticoat disappeared.
“Father is late getting home
from work,” said the night
watchman’s wife, glancing at
the clock. “He must have ov
erslept this morning.”
Fingerprints on many a res

Once in a while a girl who
boasts or confesses she has
never been kissed consents to
allow publication of her pict
ure as evidence of the trutn

Today’s news is tomorrow’s
wrapping paper.
The snow was falling thick
and fast,
As to my bosom I hugged fast
The City paper whose front
page bore
A legend which did make me
sore:
“Fair and warmer.”
The weather man is daft, I
thought,
As closer to my throat I bro’t
The collar if my overcoat;
The man is nuts whoever
wrote:
“Fair and warmer.”
The air was raw and bitter
cold
And I was feeling weak and
old,
As through the drifts I plow
ed my way,

Thinking in vain of that great
day:
“Fair and warmer.”
Completely spent at last I fell:
I could not rise, I could not
yell
And as my consciousness ex
pired,
I simply moaned in accents
tired:
“Fair and warmer.”
The witness had been cau
tioned to give precise answers.
“We don’t want your opinion
of the question,” the judge
told him. “We want it answer
ed - that’s all.”
“You drive a wagon?” asked
the prosecuting attorney,
i “No, sir, I do not,” was the de
j cided answer of the witness.
“Why, sir, did you not tell my
learned friend but a moment
; ago that you did?”
| “No, sir, I did not.”
: “Now, I put it to you, my man,
on your oath. Do you drive a

“No, sir.”

My, my, my! When all the

just think what grand and

more of his town and every
body in it.

how small it is now—the bank may help make it larger.
