AN INDEPENDENT ,'M-WSPAPER
MERCHANTS.
Did you ever really give the
subject of the local merchant\
and you any serious thought? i
Perhaps you are a loyal citi
zen and patronize local shops
and stores as a matter of loy
alty,, but as this is not a lec
ture it will do no harm to read
this, anyhow.
Your local merchant is first
a citizen, a resident of your
community the same as you
are. He lives in your commun- j
ity, pays taxes along with you
ior the upkeep and improve
ment of your community; he
raises his family and sends
hi * ch Mren to school-schools
which he helps, with you, to
maintain. If he is a butcher, he
buys cljthes and shoes for his
family from a fellow-mer
chant. No matter what his line
of business, he spends money
with other business men of the
community. He banks in local
banks; he takes his family of
an evening to the local enter
tainments.
Summed up, the money he
makes in the community is
spent in it.
Were it not for your local
merchant, there would be no
ncheols, no paved streets, no
public buildings, no progress
nor prosperity. He is here day I
in and day out, rain or shine,
giving his time, energy and
money to whatever will bene
fit the district, taking part in
administrations of thecommun- i
ity or aiding to regulate the
administration for the best in
terests of the community by his :
v‘te.
Is he not entitled, then, to
consideration and patronage ? j

SAFETY TIPS
FOR INVESTORS
Don’t take “FLYERS” in min
ing, but place your money
with the same care and dis
cretion that you use in buying
real estate, bank stocks, or!
merchandise, says that splen-'
didly edited mining journal,1
Mining Truth.
Don’t trust to luck, but use
"ommon .<ense and insist that
he affairs of the company
n which you are interested
be handled by men who know
;heir business.
Don’t believe the tales of pro
motion companies that “guar
antee” dividends. No reputable
company does it. If a mine is a
“sure-thing” and certain to
pay dividends, why should
tney orrer stock rur sale?
Buy only treasury stock in a
>romotion company. Treasury
tock goes to the company and
is used in developing the mine;
nersonal stock only helps the
promoters.
Insist on frequent and com
plete reports from your com
pany telling just what is going
>n, and always attend the
stockholders’ meetings.

YOU CAN’T RIDE
ON A GRUDGE.
Do you carry grudges? Cast
hem aside. Your burden in
dfe is heavy enough without
hem.
If you boast of your grudges
is a sign that you are a free
man—don’t do it!
Though you may have creat
ed your grudges and though
you may feed them, they are
your masters. You may carry
your grudge uphill through
!ife, but it will carry you only
down. How often ive hear the
voice in the street in violent
impatience. Smith cries: “If
Jones is for it I am against it.”
Then Jones controls Smith’s
mind more firmly than if he
wer his closest friend.
It is not worth while to waste
our energies and vitiate our
minds in hate and resentment.
It is right to hate evil, but
merely pity evil men. If you
have been wronged, forget.
Why keep the injury fresh?
You suffered enough at the
time. If you long for revenge
or to“get even” with some en
emy, actual or imaginary you
but magnify his triumph. You
continue his ascendency; you
hypnotize yourself within his
spell.
It doesn’t pay, friends.
Many happinesses are shared i
by the least fortunate of us, i
and many misfortunes befall j:
the happiest of us. None of us j
can well afford to spend the :
hours of retrospect and pros* j
pect with other than the hap- j
piest memories and the bright-!
est hopes that charity and j
kindness can summon.
Just for Fun
Oren F. says two-faced folks
never wear the right one.
To get on, don’t merely look
on. Move on; help on.
The greatest problem man
has is man.
A conservative is pne who |
has his.

'The shorter the batihng suit!
the longer the stare, says the
Blueberry Kid.
! Because of daylight saving, ,
it starts raining an hour earl
ier than it used to.
The loud noises Hyder hears ;
nowadays are not made by the
boys plugging watermelons.
Frank Reichenback thinks *
any any girl appreciates a lov
er who can hold his own.

A man seldom hears the
knock of opportunity if he
pays too much attention to
the knocks of the neighbors.
: “Mother,” said Johnny, “is it
correct to say you ‘water a
horse’ when he’s thirsty?”
“Yes; quite correct.”
“Then”—picking up a saucer
—“I'm going to milk the cat.”

Back in pioneer days the
j pedestrian had to dodge the
deadly rattler, also.
J. A. Hall says we should
not forget that most of the
fellows who have medals on

backs. j.

HE STUCK!
Robert Fulton, years ago,
Said he’d make the steam
boat go,
And he stuck to it
Robert’s friends began to jol
ly, . ,
Called the steamboat “Ful
ton’s folly,”
But the darn thing went, by
golly
He stuck to it.

■ouri Mckwoods interestedly |
nterrogated an Eastern sales
man, as a being from another
vorld, as to his life, connect
ons, etc.
‘You got a brother?” he in- j
luired.
‘I had one, but he died.”
‘Got shot,”
‘No. he wasn’t shot.”
‘Drink himself to death?”
‘Certainly not.”
‘I knowed you was a liar,” i
jxclaimed the boy, triumph
intly, “there’s only them two
way of dyin’.”
Dressing sensibly makes a
?irl look so conspicuous nowa
days that most of them wont
io it.
John Simpson was carrying
ammunition up a muddy trench
to the boys who were trying
to deliver it ajt the Kaiser’s
home address, and being of
unbleached distinction and
witty, he decided that he
would ascertain if the records
were clear in his case, since
he was carrying around two
hundred pounds of shells at
each trip on his back. He turn
ed to his sergeant as he passed
him enroute to the front lines
and said : “’Scuse me, sergeant,
but how is you got my name
down dere on dat rostrum?”
“John Simpson,” replied the
sergeant, “ain’t that correct?”
“Yas, suh, dat sho is right,
but I ’lowed maybe you done
made a big mistake and put
hit down Sampson ’stead o’
Simpson.”
He: "I beg of you, Miss Per
kins, do not say Mr. Tompkins

Now comes the season when
a man who gets mad at his
wife can go to the ball games
and yell at the umpire.
Ben wants to know how can

blues unless the colors clash?
When one of these old boys
gets the flapper craze ,it seems
peculiarly fitting to call him a
sexagenarian.

we again call the attention of

What are those terrible yells,
officer?” demanded an excit
ed pedestrian, as unearthly
screams issued from an office
window.
“I investigated and it’s all
right,” assured the cop. “A
painless dentist is trying to
operate on himself.”
