AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Cold feet often keep a hot
head out of trouble.
--—o
Of course people trust in God.
You can tell that by the way
they drive automobiles.
-o
Success consists not so much
in sitting up nights as being
awake in the daytime.
-o
M°nv a man pays spot cash
merely because he can’t get
credit.
-o
Egoti'm is the opiate that
nature adnr'nisters to deaden
the pains of mediocrity.— S.
Gillian.

We are reminded that a lot of
peo: le “cuss” the weather all
week and then go to church on
Sunday and sing praises to
H'm from whom all blessings
flow.

In on phase of existence has
the radio wrought a more mar
Vf 1' ms change than in the
lives of those who dwell in re
mote places. The magic in
strument now brings to the
rural home not only music,
song and speech, but also the
daily new? of the world. In
fact the world comes and goes
in a most wonderful way over
the radio. The lonesomeness of
the farm and the wilderness
has vani hed and their former
isolation has been virtually re
duced to a pace from the great
centers of the world. Instead
of being isolated and apart
after the sun goes down, the
rural home becomes at once in
touch wi h the world through
the air. Borne on the ether
waves, bridging time and
space, comes to them a large
share of the knowledge ana
amin<>mant3 of those who
dw 11 in the earth’s great cen
ters. Needless to say this in
timacy creates a wondrous
change in the existence of
those whose lives are cast in
the far-away places.
-o
No man has harder people to
serve than the minister of the
gospel Ilis critics are many,
and the criticisms varied. A
Texas paper comments as fol
lows:
“The rreacher has a great
t’me. If his hair is gray, he is
oli. If he is a young man, he
hasn’t had experience. If he
has ten children he has too
many; if he has none, he isn’t
a good example. If his wife
sings in the choir, she is pre
suming; if she doesn’t she isn’t
interested in her husband’s
work. If a preacher reads from
notes, he is a bore: if he
speaks extemporaneously, he
isn’t deep enough. If he stays
at home in his study he doesn’t
mix enough with the people; if
he is seen around the streets,
he ought to be home getting
up a good sermon. If he calls
on some poor family, he is
playing to the grand-stand; it
he calls at the home of the
wealthy, he is toadying to the
aristocrats. Whatever he does,
someone could have told him
to do better.”
-o
A hammer is a most useful
and necessary tool in the
hands of a carpenter or any
one who has a legitimate use
for it. When one needs a ham
mer he needs it badly. It is
really a household necessity.
The carpenter uses a hammei
to ply his trade. The miner
uses a hammer to drive his
drill. The stone-cutter uses it
to guide his chisel. There are
riveting hammers, the tacK
hammers, blocking hammers,
brick-layer’s hammers, steam
hammers, trip hammers. Ham
mers of stone are found in the
relics of antiquity and are still
in use among barbarians.
(There are more kinds of ham
mers than any thing else in the
world. Every one of these
'hammers has some good and
legitimate purpose, but there
jis one hammer in the world
that is the opposite of all these
others, and that is the hammer
which the knocker wields with
such malicious and fatal re
sults. That is one hammer
which should forever be cast
out from the line of ancestral
hammers of fame and dignity.
If you are toting a hammer
like this, throw it away. Bury
it so deep that you will have
; to go around on the other side
of the globe to resurrect it.
This kind of a hammer should
[never be used. The man who
wickedly and wantonly wields
the knocker’s hammer should
be forever silenced with a well
directed blow on the head with
a sledge hammer,
i “Boost—Don’t knock.”
Just For Fun
; Think of it! A headline says:
“Man accused of stealing flees
| from policeman.”
Little girl (disturbed in her
prayers by her teasing young
brother)
“Lord, pardon me a minute
I while I kick Willie.”
! Merl says a woman is influ
enced more by what she sus
pects than by what she knows.
It takes an income of six fig
ures to get a man in the Sun
day picture section, but one
figure will get a girl there..
Marjorie, aged four, marched
into the grocery store to tell
the news.
“We’ve got a new baby
brother up at our house,” she
said.
“You don’t tell me!” said the
grocer. “Is he going to stay?”
“I guess so,” Marjorie said,
“He’s got his things off.”
i^ari says mat some oi me
shyest girls are the most lovin’
in the dark.
“No man can kiss my
daughter and get away with
it!” stormed her father.
“But I’m not trying to get
away,” protested the suitor. “I
came back for more.”
A happy wife is one that
hasn’t discovered that she has
more sense than her husband.
Few wives, however are hap
py.
Mr. Newlywed (at the dinner
table) Dear, what kind of pie
is that?
Mrs. Newlywed— Rhubarb,
darling.
Mr. Newlyw d - But why did
you make such a large one?
Mrs. Newlywed— Because t
oouldn’* get anv shorter rhu
barb.
Noel says it’s cowardl^ to anV
a girl if you can kiss her; it’s
putting the responsibility en
tirely up to her.
Traveling Salesman“ Who
is the responsible man in this
store?”
Office Boy:— “I don’t know
who the responsible party is.
but I am the one who gets all
the blame.”
Pat’s left eye was badly dis
colored. His wife asked who
did it? “Mike Murphy,” he
replied sadly. “What?” she ex
claimed, “Do you mean you
let a little shrimp like Mickie
Murphy black your eye?”
“Martha” said Pat, holding up
his hand reproachfully, “don’t
spake disrespectfully of the
dead.”
Customer: “I want a jar of
Parlor glue.”
Mrs. Hill: “What kind of
glue?”
Customer: “Parlor glue.”
Mrs. Hill: “There must be
some mistake. There is no glue
known as Parlor glue.”
Cu.ltomer: “Well, wait; I’ll
go ask my wife. It’s for her.”
In a little while he returned
and said: “My mistake. She
wants library paste.”

HYDER MOOSE
GROWING STEADILY
! Four new members were add
jod to the roster of the local I
, Moose lodge at Pioneer Hall j
I Thursday evening. The init
iation ceremonies were con
I ducted by District Deputy Su
preme Dictator Sigurd Wall
stedt, of Juneau, who has been i
in the district several weeks
on a campaign for new mem
bers for the order. Following
the meeting the members pres
ent were guests of Mr. Wall
stedt at a luncheon at the Ideal
Cafe.. Plans were discussed
during the lodge meeting for j
a dance, to be held in the near
future.
Two Scotchmen went on a
fishing expedition. But they
were novices at the game.
“Hoo are ye gettin’ on, Jock?
asked one.
“Och, simply rotten!” was
the reply. “I don’t believe my
bloomin’ worm’s trying.”—Exc.
i
MacPherson was stretched on j
the sands, contentedly puffing j
his pipe. |
“Come on, Mac,” said his!
companion, “let’s go for a
sail.”
“Na, na,” said MacPherson,
shaking his head, “I had a ;
<ruid dinner that cost me three !
and six pence and Pm takin’ j
o chances.”
When'first he came to see her
He showed a timid heart,
\nd when the lights were low, j
They sat thus far apart, j
Tt”t wh v. his ’ovc grew warm- j
rr. I
And learned the joy of a kiss, |
They knocked out all the spac-;
os,

Cherez moi! De done! comme
il faut! What? Oh, that’s J
Noel’s latest jingle.
