SHRINK!1 EEENBACKS.
Americans soon will have a
little experirr -e of their own
with shrin- r money. But,
while marks, f anes and rubles
shrank in value, the dollar’s
shrinkage will be in size. The
new bills, one-third smaller in
size than those now in circulat
ion, will be placed in distribut
on shortly.
Although the average citizen
has personal reasons to doubt
it, about $450,000,000 in bills
is outstanding. When the new
bills are ready the banks will
issue them and send to Wash
ington the large ones that
come into their possession.
When the new money has
driven out the old it will be
found that everybody has been
benefited. While the two sizes
are in circulation only bankers
and magnates will be incon
venienced. But when the last
of the large bills has disappear
ed from circulation the govern
ment will save money, the wad
will make a smaller bulge in
the pants pocket or silk stock
ing and paper money will be
more mailable as well as port
able.
Small enough to be placed in
a wallet or envelope without
folding, the diminutive cur
rency will remain cleaner and
will live longer. Moreover,
Secretary Mellon says the new
bills will be harder to counter
feit and handsomer than the
old. If anybody is a better au
thority on money than Mellon,
let him be produced. And if he
is not complaining about the
trouble of counting two sizes
of bills nobody should, for few
have more in their name and
none has more under his of
ficial control.

WHO PAID FOR IT?
Two non-advertisers manu
factured practically the same
kind of rat traps costing 15
cents each, which were sold to
the trade at 20 cents, the pur
chaser paying 30 cents.
One of the producers decided
to advertise. His increased
sales enabled him to make the
traps for 10 cents each. He
then sold them to the trade for
15 cents. The purchaser
bought them at 25 cents.
Who paid for the advertis
ng?
Not the maker of the rat
traps, because he made more
money by selling more traps.
Not the retailer, for he made
the same profit on less outlay.
Not the purchaser, because he
bought them for five cents less.
Who paid for the advertis
ing?

A SERMON ON BOOSTING.
No citizen is so powerful,
none so humble, but what his
town is an aid to him in some
way or other. There is where
employs his labor- or his
capital, builds his home, en
joys the society of his kind
and, in short, finds everything
that makes life worth the liv
ing. Failing to find these things
he usually goes in search of
them elsewhere. If he remains
it is natural to suppose he has
found that which he sought.
Since your town boosts you
why not do as well by it as it
does by you? To progress it
needs the help of every citizen,
and every citizen benefits indi
vidually from every community
improvement, whether that
improvement, take the form
of public works,* population
growth, increased prosperity
or business development.
No community is so miserable
and unattractive that it has
not its boosters and none so
perfect it has not its knockers,
but that city or town achieves
most in civic betterment which
has the most boosters.
There are boosters and many
of them in Hyder. They and
their forerunners have made it
the fine little community it is
and are making it the better
communty all want it to be in
the future. But there are two
reasons why every citizen
should be a civic worker and
booster. First, it is unfair to
place the whole burden upon
the few and, second, every cit
izen owes it to himself and his
fellow citizens to do every
thing within his power to make
the community better that it
may the better serve all.
However, one should not
make the mistake of confining
his boosting merely to talking
about the virtue of his home
town; as so many do. Direct
advertising pays, but the kind
of boosting that pays the high
est dividends is sober and per
severing endeavor of the kind
that advances the community.
Just for Fun
If the fiction characters cuss,
its a high-brow magazine.
And many people think they
are> good merely because they
are tired of sinning.
There are many persons who
have schemes for helping
themselves any other way than
by working.
Keeping shoes shined is ex
pensive, but at least you
needn’t check them when you
go in to lunch.
Next to money the hardest
thing to keep is a secret.
There are just two philoso
phies of life: Do unto others
and do others.
One reason why success goes
to the head is because nature
doesn’t like a vacuum.
Man works hard to establish
a credit and then frequently
finds it too good for his good.
EPITAPH
Here lies the body of Rufus
Wyme,
Who has passed beyond this
earthly clime;
He was shot by a pard,
When he wrote on a card,
“I’m just having a wonderful
time.”
The couple that gets married
believing two can live as
cheaply as one finds the cheap
ness is only in feeling.
It is said that childhood is
the impressionable period in
life, but some parents seem to
have very little luck, often
arguing for hours without mak
ing the slightest impression.
Doctor: You must avoid all
forms of excitement.”
Male patient: “But, doctor,
can’t I even look at them on
the street?”
Something terrible’s the mat
ter with America’s teeth, if one
can believe the magazine ads.
Mannishly dressed lady-“Did
you catch any fish, little boy?”
Country Boy-“No.”
M. D. L.-“No what?”
Boy (gazing dubiously at her
rig)—"Burned if I know.”
The sad-looking man stopped
at the lunch-counter and said:
“Give me five ham asndwiches,
please.”
“Will you eat them here or
take them away?” asked the
counter man.
"I hope to do both,” was the ,
reply.
Because she was unknown to I
him the paying teller told a1
woman he could not cash her j
check unless she had it initial- j
ed by an officer. Ten minutes!
iater he was confronted by her
again, this time escorted by a
policeman.
Sometimes the telephone girl
hears a pleasant voice-when
she’s not on duty.
Tom Evans says school teach
ers know a lot about children
but if they want to succeed
they have to know a lot about
old people.
Some people travel so much
j they can’t pack a bag at home
without absent-mindedly slip
ping in all the towels in sight.
At the last count it was fount!
that the same number of
people understand a bank
?latement as understood a life
! insurance policy.
An easy way to find out
; whether a man is going up or
| out is to ask him what kind of
a man is his boss.
; If you are poor your friends
seldom help you, but if you are
rich they usually want to help
themselves.
The man who isn’t a good life
insurance risk needs to be a
darn good money maker if he
cares for peace and quiet
around home.
Jake was a worthless and im
provident fellow. One day he
said to the local grocer: “I got
ta have a sack of flour, I’m all
; out an’ my family is starvin’.’
■ “All right, Jake,” said the gro
| cer. “If you need a sack of
j flour and have no money to
! buy it with we’ll give you a
! sack. But, see here, Jake,
, there’s a circus coming to town
: in a few days and if I give you
a sack of flour, are you sure
you won’t sell it and take your
family to the circus?”
i “Oh, no” said Jake, “I got the
! circus money saved up al
i ready.”
