AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
MINING MEANS HOPE
Amazing progress has been
made in chemical and mechan
ical treatment of ores, so that
ores once regarded as expen
sive waste are today produc
ing good values; and capital
is available in increasing
amounts for new ventures.
What the miner produces is
new and clean and helpful. It
is not a speculative trade,
with a luckless victim at the
other end; but a positive, val
uable contribution to the
world’s savings. In every wa>
the miner is a business asset
to any community. Mines make
the best possible non-compet
itive local markets for farm
and range products. They
breathe courage and enter
prise and vision as does no
other investment or industry
known to man.—Mackay Min
er.
READ NEWSPAPERS.
The woman who knows her
paper from the want ads can
pick an argument with her
husband about blondes be
coming extinct, or a candi
date’s chances, and the result
is that she gets all the argu
ment she wants without inter
fering in the least with her
domestic happiness.
Instead of panning one of her
husband’s associates’ wives
she can lamb the harpoon in
to some dame who is drag
ging her husband through the
divorce courts, or she can grill
the literary critic who doesn’t
like a certain book as much
as she does. She can voice an
opinion about a bit of news
and throw more of a scare into
her husband than if she tried
to crown him with the gold
fish.
Women read the papers more
carefully than men do. At least
this is the consensus of opin
ion in newspaper circles,
where a close tab is kept on
the tastes of people and the
things that interest people.
GOOD OLD SUMMER.
What is the best season ot
the year? Summer to most
people-- though the other seas
os, especially spring, have
heir charms. And the older you
get, the more you will like
summer, the more you will
dread winter.
Spring corresponds to our
babyhood. It is the sprouting
season, full of hope, dreams,
uncertainty, danger of frost.
Autumn is like the waning
years of life, when we harvest
as we have sown, when we
suffer for our negligence and
mistakes and are rewarded
for our effort. Most of us,
when we look backward in the
autumn of life, say: “If I only
had my life to live over
again.”
Winter, of course, corre
sponds to human death, the hi
bernating of old growth until
new growth is ready to sprout
and bud.
All three of these seasons
are preparatory to or the aft
ermath of summer. And sum
mer is the period of Life-of
accomplishment—symbolic of
the lives we are living.
Lucky are you who have sur
vived the frost’s of life’s
springtime. Your crop of suc
cess is started. Toil and weed,
for autumn of life will be up
on you before you are aware.
For results, it’s now or never.

ADVERTISING AS A
SCIENCE.
Like all things, advertising
has had an evolution. A cen
tury ago the leading mer
chants resorted to what is
now the classified ad and the
modern display ad was un
known. The store which a cen
tury ago purchased newspap
er advertising in quantities of
a half dozen lines weekly, now
contracts for one and two
pages and the landlady adver
tising for a roomer, or a young
lady seeking a lost cat con
jumes more space in the news
paper^of today than the most
thriving merchant of yester
day.
As in quantity, so has adver
tising had an evolution of
quality. Within the shopping
memory of the present
generation the advertisement,
both newspaper and maga
zine, has risen from a relation
of articles and prices to at
tractive displays artistically
phrased, graphically illustrat
ed and in the case of maga
zines often beautifully litho
graphed. The modern adver
tisement is not a narration of
goods and prices; it is a store
house of information about
buying, styles, thrift and econ
omy. The public once com
plained of spending a penny
for a newspaper and getting
30 per cent, more or less, of
its paper in advertising. Now
magazines are purchased by
many for their advertisements
alone, and as for the newspap
er, the advertisements form
an important part of the day’s
reading.
Just for Fun
The per capita circulation of
cash is now $42.53, but we
can’t find more than the 553.
Watch where you’re going
eve n if you’re not going any
where.
Keep walking to keep well,
the doctor’s advise. To be
sure; and, occasionally jump.
It’s usually the young puppy
who puts on a lot of dog.
Still, a man’s $7.50 hat, con
taining 72^ worth of material,
might cost $19.95 if called
millinery.
Virtue pays: The “S” is
crooked, but look what a
straight and narrow path does
for it: $.
We have observed that of
all diseases, none is so greatly
enjoyed by some as rheuma
tism.
The Austrian artist who says
American girls are dolls has
never tried to feed one with
sawdust.
Our memory goes back to
the time whe we weren’t ab
solutely certain just which way
a girl’s knees bent.
“A hug” says Jens Pederson,
“is a roundabout way of ex
pressing affection.”
The political world makes a
beaten path to^the door of the
fellow who has a little better
grade of clap-trap.
“Some men are born great,
some achieve greatness, and
j some—”
j “Just grate upon you.”
_
! A girl can’t help it when
! she’s pretty, and she nevei
! tries. But a lot of them who
I aren’t pretty try to help it,
: and make things considerably
! worse.

The world’s speediest sten
ographer writes 9,120 words
an hour, if anyone can think
of 9,120 words an hour that
ought to written.
Pete Wilson says what is the
use of a woman always trying ;
to pull down a short skirt? j
Evrybody knows the color of j
her garters and bloomers, any-!
way.
Expert says women talk too
fast over the phone, but it is
j difficult to believe it after try
ing to get in touch with some
one on a party line.
The average married man
wouldn’t worry about his wife
wearing her skirts a little
shorter if she’d only wear her
dresses a little longer.
Diner: “Look here, this is un
bearable. Yesterday I found a
white hair in the soup, and
today a black one!’’
Waitress: “I’m not surprised,
sir; we’ve changed cooks.”
Nowadays, says Eddie Had
don, it seems that when a man
marries, he doesn’t give his
name to the gild. She just bor
rows it for a little while.
The Road To Wealth
Live in a house by the side
of the road,
Where the automobiles pass;
And wealth is yours if your
abode
Be a fountain of oil and gas.
First Housewife: Yes, I heard
a noise and got up, and there,
under the bed, I saw a man’s
leg.
Second ditto: Good heavens!
The burglar’s?
“No, my husband’s. He heard
the noise, too.”
Mistress-Bridget, I wish to
have the tomatoes served un
dressed.
Dinner hour. Guests seated
at table. Bridget (entering
with bowl of tomatoes, clad in
scanty underclothing)-Indade,
Ma’am, and I’ll not take off
another stitch if I lose me
place.
