AN INDEPENDENT ^WSPAPER
Verily “day by day and in
every way,” the hometown
merchants are contributing of
their money, their time and
their energy to make this, com
munity a bigger, better and
busier place in which to labor
and live.
It is well that our citizens
give more than a passing
thought to the debt they owe
to the home-town merchant
and that this debt be repaid by
giving to them the trade of
the community, a trade that fs
rightfully theirs, a trade well
earned.
-o
You never know when you
are going to need credit. Per
haps it means little to you
now-you are not contemplat
ing any venture that will re
quire a little capital. But
whether you are a miner, lab
orer, or office worker, the
time may come when you will
want to try something bigger,
and to make that trial you will
need to borrow money.
* If you have always been
careful to pay up your small
bills promptly you will have a
reputation that will enable
you to get the needed capital
and put the venture through
successfully. But if you have
been careless, then you will
find money scarce and tight
no matter how prosperous the
times may be.
The editor has had the occas
ion to go through his subscript
ion accounts recently. He
found there the names of
many local citizens who really
intend to pay their bills but
who are in the habit of neg
lecting small accounts. They
never reab’/e the importance
of being known as good pay.
Think this over today. List all
the small bills you are owing
business men around town.
And go out immediately and
square up.
Then make it a practice to
pay all bills as soon as they
fall due, and people will be
gin to say to you, “He’s good
pay.”
Such a reputation may some
day be worth more to you than
several thousand dollars on
deposit in the bank.
-o
During the year just closed
many noted people died . In
cluded are: Queen Alexandra;
Frederick Ebert, president of
Germany; William Jennings
Bryan; Thomas R. Marshall,;
Senator LaFollette; Senator
Laddvof North Dakota; Sena
tor Medill McCormick of Illi
nois; Senator Spencer of Mis
souri; Warren S. Stone, labor
leader; Victor F. Lawson, p :l>
lisher; Christy Mathewson:
John Singer Sargent, painter;
Walter Camp; Cammille F!a
marion, noted astronomer;
General Nelson A. Miles; Clara
Morris, famous actress; Amy
Lowell, poet; Herbert Quick,
editor and author; and Frank
A. Munsey, publisher.
So, it goes from year to year.
-o
It costs so little, yet it means
so much for men to be men.
There is a great demand toda>
for real men—the type who
put their shoulders to the com
munity wheels and help do
things.
Any man can be a failure—
it takes a good man to be sue
cessful.
There’s something in your
community which you can do.
It’s something that others per
haps connot do. Go out and
search for it and lend a help
ing hand towards doing
things you should do, and di
vorce yourself from doing
things you should not.
-o
Hand painted knees are the
latest thing according to some
fashion authorities. The time
may come when the lessons
learned at mother’s knee will
be illustrated.
-o
It is better if bought on the
Outside, eh? Well, where do
you suppose the local mer
chant buys his stock ?
Jnsf For Fun
Absence makes the heart go
yonder.
She laughed up her sieeve. It
was a naked laugh.
Eating oranges will prevent
baldness, says a scientist. May
be this explains the Florida
real estate boom.
A woman may seldom notice
any deterioration in her hus
band’s clothes, but she is often
very quick to pick up any
change in his trousers.
He :-Do you mind if I steal a
kiss?
She:-Not in the least, pro
viding you don’t steal it from
me.
Girls believe the difference
! between misfortune and a
j fortunate Miss is an engago
; ment ring.
Those who never felt a wound
jest at scars, likewise those
i ,vho talk most glibly about
he farmer’s problems and
panaceas were never on a
1 farm.

According to the Blueben'y
Kid most men like the girls
who refuse to wear their skirts
my longer.
Few men smoke between
meals— they eat between
smokes.
The value of a dress suit in a
?mall town is determined by
the number of men it will fit.
We are beginning to see
through some of the designs
that the modistes have on
women.
When a girl decides to marry
I a struggling young author,
I said author might just as well
stop struggling.
Florida needn’t worry for a
while yet. She has enough
climate to accommodate milli

EPITAPH.
Here lies grandma, her head
on a stone,
Who wore red flannels in the
torrid zone.
“Thank Heaven, my wife had
all her teeth pulled.”
“Why the jubilation on that
account?”
“Why, now she can’t chew
the rag any more.”
Fable: Once upon a time
there was a newspaper pub
lished that never made any of
its subscribers mad.
J' “Deacon,” said the
parson,
softly, “will you lead us in
prayer?”
“Deacon,” this time in a little
louder voice, “will you lead?”
Still no response. Evidently
the deacon was slumbering'.
Th parson made a third appeal
and raised his voice to a high
pitch that succeeded in arous
ing the drowsy man. “Deacon,
will you lead?” The deacon in
bewilderment rubbed his heavy
eyes and blurted:“ Lead your
self—I just dealt.”
An optimist is one who be
lieves he can get as much for
his old car as he thinks it’s
worth. A philanthropist is one
who has an old car he would
like to sell, but advises the
prospective buyer to use a
taxi.
Lots of men neglect to flee
from temptation until they
are pretty sure it. has a good
chance to overtake them.
She placed burnt offerings
before him three times a day
so she must worship him even
if she don’t love him.
Philadelphia has a 9-year old
bandit. He held up a 6-year
old girl and robbed her of $2.
The movies will probably re
ceive credit for making this
young criminal.
To a man who has had three
wives there is no such thing as
a safe and sane fourth.

Hope and bustle make a won
derful combination when they

An ancient painting of St.
Michael, encrusted with the
dirt and grime of a century or
more, was recently discovered
among a collection of useless
and womout property in the
basement of the old Russian
church at Sitka, one of the
oldest religious edifices on the
continent. The ancient ikon
was in a fine state of preserv
ation and was presented to
the newly established churcl\
of SL Michael at Cordova,
where it will be added to a
growing collection of vener
able church treasures.
The Anchorage Chamber of
Commerce is sending to the
Secretary of the Interior a
plan to form a railroad board,
including representatives from
all departments, to cooperate
in the railroad management
and to induce investments and
settlement, to study and ad
vertise the resources, codify
regulations governing the ac
quiring of resources, pro
vide facilities to complete all
transactions and designed to
meet complaint. The state
ment accompanying the plan
says the bureau system is the
greatest retarder of develop
ment in the railroad zone.

GLAD
TO HAVE
Your Business
ANY BUSINESS THAT tries to get along without a bank
is a very small business, even then it is not too small but
that its financial affairs should be handled through a hank.
A BANK IS one of the most important factors in the busi
ness life of the country.
TRANSACT YOUR business through our bank, no matter
how small it is now—the bank may help make it larger.
