AN INDEP INDENT
° PER
Life has been growing enor
mously complex in the last few
decades. We drive ourselves at
a terri'ic speed. So we find
ourscl'.es in the midst of con
flicting currents that buffet
and to s us unmercifully. We
live by machines-sometimes
\v. find ourselves living like i
machines And the strain is!
immense.
W e h .ve become so saturated
in th ■ a e of machinery that
many . f js have forgotten the
true goal of our existence-“to
have life and have it more
abundantly.”
Just what does that mean?
Simply that we extract from
life the full measure of its
beauty and truth and meaning;
that we do not “nourish a
blind life within the brain”
but develop our powers of un
derstanding and love and spir
itual discernment.

The Treasury Department has
ruled that President Coolidge’s
salary i3 not subject to a per
sona? ;ncome tax and as a re
sult he is to be rebated $20- j
000. If thi3 ruling holds good,
then a rebate will be made in
the estates of Warren G. Hard
ing and Woodrow Wilson,
whose salaries were taxed un
der a ruling of the Treasury
Department. Heretofore a rul
ing was made that the salaries
o* federal judges were exempt
from taxes, and it is planned !
to extend this order so that it
wih incl ude senators and con
gressman.
We can see no justice in a
ruling of this character. We !
have men serving on the cir
cuit judge bench and in any!
number of professional posit
ions, and they must pay an
income tax out of their sala
ries. If we ars going to have a
preferred class, men who can
escape taxation because they
are fortunate enough to get on
the federal bench-many of
them lame duck4-$hen our
system of taxation under the
interpretation of the Treasury
Department is wrong.
Beauty is everywhere-blazon
ed across the sky at night or
hidden in the laugh of a child
at play, locked in a book or
verse or wrapped iii the eyes
of a mother playing with her
baby; reflected from the jag
ged outline of our lowering
peaks at sunset.
Have an eye for it; seek it
i out; you will find it beyond
! measure.
And, having found it, you
will see that life’s meaning
and life’s truth follow' close
behind. All that is beautiful is
true and lasts forever; and
all that is true, is beautiful.
And whether life be lived on a
lonely prairie or in a roaring
city, it has one meaning^-hap
piness, joy, now and always.

Forty per cent of American
foreign investments last yeai*,
t has been estimated, were di- j
verted to South America.,
Europe received 27 per cent. ;
Is it any wonder that the
great republics of, the south
are developing wonderfully?
ilow could they do else, when I
business down there is being I
watered by a warm stream of 1
credits from the United
States ?
Suppose for one moment that i
40 per cent of the foreign in-!
vestments of the United States j
were sent to Alaska (for that
much money we could afford j
to have Alaska considered a \
foreign country)-and suppose
a few hundred thousand men
and women went into the Ter
ritory to help that capital earn I
dividends—how long do you
think it would be before Alas
ka would be doing a business i
exclusively with the United
States as great as the total im
port and export trade of South
America, which we are com
pelled to share with half a
dozen other nations?
There is an old saying that1
“charity begins at home.”
So does good business.—Se

About the best test we know
of to apply to candidates for
public office where ability,!
honesty and initiative are in-1
volved is to ask yourself:!
Would I hire him to work for j
me in my private business? .1
Just For Fun
_
People who talk in their sleep •
should stay awake in church.
Lots of men have that school
girl complexion on their coats.
There’s no fool like the one
who knows it all.
If you kill time it will send j
ghosts to haunt you.
Shooting dice for a living is a
shaky business.
The girl who drinks to him
only with her eyes will never
get into trouble.
Chicago has a new jail. It is
understood very few crooks
would go to the old one.
It is only a woman who can
have birthdays without adding
years to her age.
The man who works with his
head should not brag about it.
So does a woodpecker.
Few men who are great got
that way by waiting for in
structions.
Our idea of a lying contest
is two strangers talking, one a
golfer and the other a fisher
man.
Be careful about getting rob
bed on pay day. If it gets in
the paper people will learn
how much you make.
Laughing, says Eddie Haddon,
is the result of feeling good on
the inside and then showing it
on the outside.
“A wife,” declares the Vil
lage Nut, “is a person who
meant to sew that button on
yesterday but forgot it.”
The difference between a
walk and a hike, is that when
you walk you don’t ask for a
ride.
When he takes stock after
coming home, says* Oren F., he
knows why they call it “spend
ing” the honeymoon.
Chemical analysis shows that
a woman’s body is actually
worth 87 cents. But it isn’t the
original cost but the upkeep
that counts.
The fellow who builds noth-;
ing but air castles 4ias one sat
isfaction—he doesn’t have to
pay taxes on them.
When a man is married to
a human phonograph, the
thought of growing deaf holds
no terrors for him.
Usually the faster you are
married the less fast are you
married, according to Jens.
Science has determined al
most everything except the
freezing point of the feminine
knee.
Physics Teacher- “And can
anyone tell me what thought
passed through Sir Isaac New
ton’s head when the apple fell
on it?”
Voice from classr-“Glad it
wasn’t a brick.”
Dot, the stenographer says:
“Short dresses will soon have
people saying ‘leg’ instead of
‘limb’ without an iota of em
barrassment.”
We wonder if all the mad de
sires of women to look and act
like men will go so far that
they will take to wearing
clothes enough to keep them
warm in winter.
Many a girl who wins the
prize in a beauty contest
would win the booby prize if
her disposition instead of her
face and figure was being
judged.
A girl can doll up in freak
styles and still look like an
angel, but when a member of
the male sex falls for the
looney fads, he always looks
like a brainstorm.
Ii may be due to the nice
weather of the past few days;
but, anyway, a fellow who
lives out in the hills handed
this in the other day:
In the spring a young man’s
fancy
Makes him amorous and bold:
In the spring lie’s wild and
prancy,
Full of pep, and hard to hold.
In the spring with secret
laughter,
Some frail flapper sets her
snare;
And the spring to him there
after
Means just lighter underwear.

When she is young a girl
wants to marry a hero and, if
after she passes 35, she finds a
man who will marry her, her
friends think she got a hero

The reason a woman wants
to be thin, says Walter B, is
that she knows if she is
plump other women will refer
to her as “that fat thing.”
It seems, says the Blueberry
Kid, that the average man
would rather worry about the
faults of his- neighbors than
his own.

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 bank.
A BANK IS one of the most important factors in the bust*
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.
