AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
YOUR TOWN AND YOU.
Your town boosts you. Why
not do as well by the town as
it does by you? No citizen is
so powerful, none so humble,
but what the town is an aid
to him in some way or other.
The food that he eats, the
clothes he wears, the recreat
ion and amusement that he
enjoys, all originate in the
town, because the money with
which they are procured is
made there. When a fellow
boosts his own town he does
not stop there. He is perform
ing an act that improves his
own condition, for every good
word and every good deed has
its elevating influence. A few
people are always home town
boosters. They accomplish
much in the way of commun
ity betterment, and this im
proves the condition of not
only themselves, but also of
those who do no boosting at
all. If every citizen would con
stitute himself a home town
booster the result collectively
would be many times as great,
and opportunities for self im
provement would be numerous.
Think it over in your odd
moments Then get into the
boost wagon and hit the pace.
-o
ADVENTURE.
“When I hear a man tell of
wonderful adventures I do not
believe him, my own life has
been so commonplace,” says E.
W. Howe.
Here is a man in his seventies
condemning life for being
humdrum and monotonous.
The editor of “potato hill” is
but one of many. In every
walk of life there are men and
women finding life too com
monplace to be interesting.
They are not entirely tired of
life but are extremely bored.
They work, eat, sleep and at
tend a social function or a
lodge meeting now and then
and hope for the great advent
ure which never comes.
What Howe and others like
him are pitying themselves
for lacking .others are extract
ing out of the commonplace
things of life. The inventor,
the scholar, the businessman
and other workers make their
work an adventure by putting
romance and imagination in it.
Making a success out of life Is
excitement and adventure ev
ery step of the way.
The ordinary happenings of
the day asgume the proport
ions of an Arabian Nights ad
venture in the eyes of the ro
mantic and imaginative.
---o
ITS BENEFITS UNIVERSAL.
Many people have not learn
ed to look upon advertising in
the light of the realistic
rhymester of an olden time
who penned this famous verse
on advertising:
Go forth in haste; with bills
and paste
Proclaim, to all creation,
That men are wise who ad
vertise
In every generation.
In part the public regards ad
vertising as being of possible
advantage to the advertiser for
which the consumer pays, and
yet the facts prove otherwise.
Time and again has it been
shown that well judged, prop
erly conducted and persistent
advertising inures to the bene
fit not only of the person who
attracts attention to his wares
in this manner, but also of the
community.
After interviewing large num
bers of distributors as to the
economic effects of advertis
ing, a committee of the nation
al distribution conference re
ports:
“Broadly speaking, it would
seem that where the advertis
ing creates an increased de
man for products of a certain
class, a wider distribution of
such products--in other words,
makes new business, bringing
about lessened distribution
costs and lessened production
costs owing to increased de
mand—there can be no doubt
as to the value of such adver
tising, not merely to the con
cerns that pay for it but also
to the public that consumes
the goods."
"Bills and paste" have given
way to newspapers and maga
zines and those "who adver
tise” are not only wise but al
truistic and philanthropic, for
by helping themselves they are
helping others.
Just for Fun
Habits are bobs or sinkers.
They hold you up or hold you
down.
Here in Hyder there is no
need for smaller size paper
money; its the wallet that
needs reduction.
It is now rumbred some of
the attorneys are specializing
in noiseless divorces.
Motto: Don’t look for wider
fields until you cultivate those
you have.
Say folks, wouldn’t it be great
if all grouches were as bad off
as they think they are?
The flapper thinks a grand
piano is one that plays by
pushing a button.
If we aren’t making better
men, we are at least making
them more comfortable.
Beggar (pleading) : "Give a
starving man a nickel for a cup
o’ cawfee, please, Mister?”
“Sorry, but I’ve only a five
dollar bill.”
Beggar (affably): "Tha’s all
right, Mister, I got change.”
What is wrong with this sent
ence?—“I never take a case,”
said the lawyer ,“unless I am
convinced that my client is in
the right.”
Trying to knock a small white
ball into a very small hole has
kept many men out of much
larger holes.
He: “But I told you, dearest,
to keep our engagement a se
cert for the present.”
She: “I couldn’t help it. That
hateful Ella said the reason I
wasn’t married was because no
fool had proposed to me, so
I told her you had.”
Prohibition, says the Blueber
ry Kid, has made many a man
a good judge of bad whiskey.
A lady correspondent writes
that if you take the man out of
romance there’d be nothing
left.
It is much safer to pay by
check, but often safer to col
lect in cash, according to Ed
die Haddon.
When a country doctor dies,
the people gather to pay their
respects, but they consider
their doctor bills paid.
The candidate who some day
has an inspiration and is able
to assign a new reason for
running for office, will write
some literature that should at
least win a Pulitzer award.
People who go away for a
vacation don’t always get one.
t * -
Civilization seems to be im
proving: We’ve had fewer
cross-word puzzles this past
winter.
The way some men answer a
telephone reminds us of the
way a bulldog greets a strang
er.
It looks to us as if a genius
is a crank who succeeded and
a Crank is a genius who failed.
The riches that used to take
wihgs now takes automobiles.
Probably the radish from
youi' own garden receives as
much undeserved praise as
anything else in the world.
Holger thinks that if we
could all do as we please, no
one would wash the dishes.
Weather forecast: More sum

AIN’T IT THE TRUTH!
“There are just two things
that break up most of the hap
py homes nowadays.”
“What are they?”
“Woman’s love for dry goods
and man’s love for wet goods.”
NO TIME TO QUIT
There’s a time to part and a
time to meet,
There’s a time to sleep and a
time to eat,
There’s a time to work and a
time to play,
There’s a time to sing and a
time to pray,
There’p a time that’s glad and
a time that’s blue,
There’s a time to plan and a
a time to do,
There’s a time to grin and
show your grit—
There’s a time to work and a
time to play,
But there never was a time
to quit!
Hardboiled One: “Ain’t you
one of them guys what drops
their tools and beats it as soon
as the whistle blows?”
Scrambled One: ‘‘Not me!
After I put my tools away 1
usually wait about five minutes
for the whistle.
Bill Gray thinks that maybe
one reason church attendance
is not larger is that so many
people disliked to be preached
either to or at.
