BUNK. JUST BUNK
Because Hank Ford chopped a
dollar or so frem the price of tin
lizzies, daily papers all over the
country are running scare heads
clear across their front pages with
titles such as: “Nation Wide Slump
Started." And meanwhile the price
Of eggs in Hyder jumps from 80 c
to a dollar a doz.
Which reminds us that if the au
thorities would quit Spending ail
the funds furnished for the pursuit
of criminals in trying to capture
some poor devil who is trying to
relieve a natural thisst, and get
after the profiteering middleman
who continue to rob right and left
by manipulating prices on the ne
cessities of life, such authorities
would come nearer to accomplish
ing the objects for which they were
elected to ottlee.
Oil and Mining Record stated in
a recent issue that the daily papers
fit the country could put a stop to
profiteering in two weeks if they
So desired, and the Miner fully
agrees with this assertion.
But gee whiz—think of the ad*
vfertlsing they would lose!
The situation would Be funny if
it were not to serious. As It is, it is
no laughing matter—not with eggs
a dollar a doz.
SPEAKING OF DUCKS
This highly oleaginous fowl, which
Is habitually born with a oigai* hol
der for a mouth, has oaused more
early rising in Hyder this fall than
all the alarm clocks and Hill's pills
combined.
The way local splatter-gun artists
have declared war upon every form
and style of duck from teal to mal*
lard would make one believe that
each and every bird bore the name
of either Fritz or Gtetchen.
But that isn’t what we started
out to say.
Two Nimrods. the other night
Were discussing the duck pro • nd
con. Pro seemed to have the uest
of it, so the other guy asked the
Miner to help out on the con. We
promised to give the subject oare
ful acid prayerful conrideration and
to publish our conclusions, so here
goes:
