AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
A GOOD RULE.
It is astonisihng how slow
many people are in getting ac
quainted. Not merely do stran
gers find it hard to make
friends, but even old-time resi
dents often will not speak to
each other. People may meet
each other on the street foi
years and never give any sign
of recognition. They know each
other perfectly, and in many
instances would like to get ac
quainted, but they have not
been introduced.
These unbending people may
be charming in their own
circles and full of kind
thoughts toward others. Their
attitude does not necessarily
mean that they are proud or
“stuck up” to use the popular
phrase. It frequently comes
from an exaggerated feeling 01
propriety or bashfulness, an
idea that they will be consid
ered forward or bold if they
disregard strict etiquette.
A town where this spirit exists
has a cold pall of distance stif
ling its people. They can not
form friendships they need foi
their own welfare and the de»
velopment of the community.
As a result people get false
ideas of each other and look
on each other as haughty.
They draw back in their own
little shells, and no neighborly
spirit is developed.
It is a good rule when two
men or two women have met
each other enough so they
know each other by sight to
get acquainted. As isolated
strangers they are an obstacle
to the unity of the community.
When they get to know each
other, and discuss their com
mon interests, they become
good neighbors and a force for
community progress.

“THANK YOU.”
Two little words that make
the world run more smoothly,
that ease the hard places ot
life and absorb many of its I
shocks, are “Thank you.” They i
are the sign of a gracious spir
it. They bespeak a generous
attitude that would not with
hold praise from those that de
serve it—a commodity with
which too many of us are
stingy.
The majority of us take too
much for g ranted. In a land of j
plenty and among a people of J
infinite resources, we expect j
much and accept everything
as a matter of course. Yet
one’s best friend likes to hear
an appreciative word. While a
compliment deserved by an
outsider and extended frankly
and generously will often con
vert an enemy into an ally.
Appreciation, like charity, be
gins at home and among those
nearest and dearest. The prince
of good fellows is a failure and
a hypocrite unless he takes
his reputation home with him
at night and arrays it with
smiles and pleasant words at
the breakfast table in the
morning.
These two little words,
“Thank you,” makes the world
run more smoothly. Learn to
speak them. No praise is ever
wholly undeserved. Encourag
ing words are as great a mir
acle worker as this old world
knows.
HOOVER EMPHASIZES
IMPORTANCE OF
MINING INDUSTRY.
In an address delivered be
fore the thirtieth annual con
vention of the American Min
ng Congress held at Washing
ton, D. C. Dec. 1, 1927 the Hon
jrable Herbert Hoover, Secre
tary of Commerce took occas
;on to call attention to the vit- ;
al importance that the mining
industry played in our national I
life. Mr. Hoover advocated !
practical conservation, temper-,
ed by knowledge of reserves,
and stated that mining furn- ;
ished raw materials upon
which our very civilization
rests. Mr. Hoover said in part
“Mining is a vital part of our
national life. It is one of those
industries without which the
Nation could not go on for a
week. It ranks second only to
the agricultural industry in its
contribution to our raw materi
als. Its production amounts to
nearly 6 VsJ billions annually
providing direct support to
probably 10 millions of our
people through employment to
about 2 million workers. But
the industry has a greater im
portance than even these fig
ures indicate, for with agri
culture, forestry and water
power it furnishes the raw
materials upon which the
whole work of our civilization
rests. When the raw materials
of our mines emerge from
manufacture with the added
expenditure of labor and capi
tal upon them, they have a
wholesale value of over 15 bil
lions of dollars. And in this, the
second stage of their appli
cation, they give employment
to another 2 million workers
and support to about 10 milli
on more of our people. A large
portion of these manufactur
ed commodities must filter
through the retail trade, and
their total value when deliver
ed to the consumer exceeds 20
billions of dollars. And from
this distribution arises the sup
port of many more millions of
our people.”—Underground.
Just for Fun
The man who feels sorry for
himself, should.
It must be admitted, that
modern youth is rather wild,
in both first and second child
hood.
Doubtless perfect modesty
would be an utter indifference
to what shows.
Being timid isn’t worth as
much as it costs.
The way to be popular is just
to make the other fellow be
lieve he is popular with you.
Great leader: Anybody who
has a great body of followers
to function when he says “Sic
’em.”
Every four years Democratic
chances are bright-until the
votes are counted.
No doubt you have observed
that it takes a lot of cold cash
in order to have a hot time
these days.
Monty: “Is this pre-war
stuff?”
Stone: “Yes, I bought it be
fore I was married.”

“You look like the end of a
misspent life, Al. Where’ve
you been?”
“Down at the courthouse. Two
blondes on the jury and we
stayed out all night.”
“Mother, how old am I?” said
young Ethelbert one night.
“You are five,’’said his mother,
"and if your father hadn’t
been so bashful, you would
have been seven.”
Most editors could express
their honest opinions if it were
not for their subscribers.
There was company for din
ner. When the dessert stage
was reached, one of the guests,
who was seated near the small
son of the hostess, asked: "My
dear, does your mother allow
you to have dessert?”
The boy looked serious for a
moment, then replied: "It nev
er hurts me unless there’s not
enough to go ’round.”
S’pose you’ve heard about the
Scot named Vincent who called
himself Vin-and saved the cent.
“Many things may be pre
served in alcohol, but, observes
Hubert T. "reputations are not
among them.”
Two colored men came to the
outside of a crowd where1 a
politician was making a
speech. “Who am dat man,
Sam?” asked one.
“Ah doan’ know what his
name is,” Sam replied, “but he
sure do recommen’ hisself mos’
! highly.”
Stepping to one side never
gets you any nearer to the
front.
Customer: Chocolate, egg,
malted milk, whipped cream,
and two scoops of ice cream.
Beat one up and let the other
float.
Clerk: Yes, sir, can you come
in for a trial fit next Wednes
day?
The new manager gave the
store force a long talk. He al-!
ways wanted to find them, he
said, working happily together
and doing their best. He invit
ed any personal suggestion to
help achieve that end.
“Don’t wear those rubber soles
on your boots, Mr. Grey” piped
up the stock clerk.
