AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Tnis newspaper is not connect ed in any manner with any
stock brokerage firm tr other establishment associated in or
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in
formation relative to local min ing development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord with fact.
Big Missouri Situation
The sudden closing down of
major operations on the Big
Missouri appears to have caus
ed an atmosphere of gloom to
settle over that portion of the
community who are afflicted
with faintheartedness or who
as is the case with many, are
inclined to see discouragement
and failure in everything that
does not immediately inure to
their personal welfare.
While admitting that the de
nouement comes at a time
when setbacks and reverses are
difficult to face with complete
equinimity, at the same time
careful reflection will leave no
doubt that such an eventuality
was more or less involved in
the situation surrounding the
operations of the Buena Vista
company and was therefore, to
be expected.
Despite official reticence, it
is generally understood that
the results during the past year
have been not at all discourag
ing. Furthermore, the activities
of the company have indicated
in numerous ways that plans
were being made far in ad
vance of present activities. It
is also understandable that the
company, having acquired a
definite understanding of the
probable character of the
ground during many months
of development operations,
would find no definite object
ing in continuing the recent
small scale activities. There
are also many other consider
ations, such as the acquisition
of additional ground and the
working out of future policies,
which also would have an im
portant effect toward inducing
a lessening of operations which
had attained their objective.
We can in no wise find cause
for undue discouragement in
the present situation and be
lieve that it is merely a prelude
to more important develop
ments which will appear in the
not distant future.
-o
Peer Radio Programs
It must be obvious to the
most casual radio listener that
the standard of radio pro
grams, which has never been
i high, is steadily deteriorating.
One recent writer declares,
with rather convincing argu
ment to back up his contention,
that radio is committing sui
cide.
While it is true that there
may still be heard a few high
class programs, if one will ex
ercise due diligence in pick
them out, for the most part the
offerings on the air are not
worth listening to by anyone
possessing intelligence above
that of a moron.
Regardless of individual
tastes, most persons buy radio
sets for the purpose of enter
tainment. The form of enter
tainment most suitable for ra
dio is music, especially instru
mental music. Speeches, lec
tures and so-called educational
features may appeal to some,
but all these are available in
unlimited quantity by means of
I i.he printed page.
Then there are the long
| winded advertising harangues
which appear to be constantly
| increasing in length and stu
| pidity. How any business con
cern can expect to build good
will through such infliction*
upon a long suffering public is
| hard to understand.

If The Editor Told The Truth
The Ringling Eagle has beer
severely criticised lately foi
not telling the truth about the
recent occurrences in Ringling
D. K. Spradling, editor, wrote
in a first-page editorial June
25. He explained why he did
not give the whole truth, b>
quoting an Indiana newspapei
whose editor had decided to
print all the facts. The Indiana
man wrote a local news item
as follows: '
“John Benin, the laziest mer
chant in town, made a trip to
Beeville on Monday.
“John Coyle, our grocery
man, is doing a poor business.
His store is dirty and musty.
How could he expect to do any
business?
“John Doe, the cold-blooded
village banker, suffered sun
stroke while cutting weeds the
other day. No one visited him
while he was in bed.
“Dave Conkey died at his
home here Tuesday. The doc
tor pronounced it heart failure,
but home brew killed him.
“Married—Miss Mary Rhodes
and James Collins, last Satur
day at the Baptist parsonage,
by Reverend Gordon The
bride is a very ordinary girl
who does not know any more
about cooking than a jack
rabbit and never helped her
mother more than three days
in her life. She is not a beauty
by any means and has a gait
like a duck. The groom is an
up-to-date loafer. He has been
living off the old folks at home
all his life and is not' worth
shucks. It will be a hard life,—
Sooner State Press.
Just for Fun

Many a man has been swin
dled out of a fortune because
the old man wouldn’t let him
marry his daughter.
I
New Bride: ‘‘And what would
I get if I cooked a dinner like
that for you every day?”
The Groom: “My life insur
ance.”
When it is said that a man
has money to reife on, it does
not mean that he puts his sav
ings under his pillow every
night.
Patient: “Doctor, how can 1
ever repay you for your kind
I ness to me?
Doctor: “By check, money
order or cash.”
| -
Mother: “Now, behave your
self. What would your teachei
| say if you behaved like that in
school?”
Son: “She would sav: ‘Be
l
have yourself! Remember, you
i are not at home now’.”
i
Cop: Why didn’t you stop
when I called to you to come
back?
Driver (with great presence
of mind) : I thought you said,
! “Hello, Senator.”
Cop: “Well, you see Senator
I was just going to warn you
about going too fast in the
S next town.”
INTERESTING NOTES
The French senate is consider
ing a bill which, if adopted,
will have the effect of pre
venting any foreigners from
! practicing medicine in France.

Justice J. W. Robertson of
Glasglow has barred the use
of words "lady” and “gentle
man” in his court and ordered
that witnesses must say “wom
