AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
COMMUNITY SPIRIT.
It would be beneficial to many
of our citizens to realize that
civic pride and community
spirit are not measured in cost
ly publicity campaigns, high
salaried press agents, populat
ion and public wealth. If they
were, the small town would
register but faintly these
greatly-to-be-desired commun
ity virtues.
The fact is that civic pride
and community spirit should
be found in their purest and
most unselfish form in the
small town. The reasons are
obvious. In the small town
there is opportunity for that
unity of purpose and neighbor
liness that are ever absent in
large centers of population.
Cross-purposes, class conflicts
and cut-throat busine3 tactics
are usually foreign to the com
munity of limited population.
Great cities, only, can afford
to spend thousands advertising
their advantages. They can
buy magazine, newspaper and
billboard advertising space, j
hire “directors of public relat- j
ions” and finance vast civic
improvements, industrial ex
pansion programs and real es
tate developments. But these
material manifestations do not
make civic pride and commun
ity spirit.
It is the citizen of the small
town who takes the greatest j
pride in his community. The j
small town newspaper sup-1
ports every community project
and cooperates with every
worthly local organization.'
The small town merchant re-!
joices in the fact that he builds
his home town when he builds
his business.
When you find civic pride
and community spirit in the
small town you know it is the
real thing, not the synthetic
product of hired boosters.

THE UNPARDONABLE SIN.
In his preachments Elbert
Hubbard reflects: “I am not
sure just what the unpardon
able sin is, but I believe it ie
the disposition to postpone and
evade the payment of sm: ii
bills.” How vast i- the army
of workers-for-their-fellowm: .1
who can say amen to that lit::3
sermon!
Perhaps there are sins mere
unpardonable than “the post
ponement and evasion of bill
paying,” but at least it can not
be said that there is a sin more
frequent in commission. Trade"
people, professional men and
other public servants will at
test to the latter as a declarat
ion of fact.
To be sure, no one would ,
place the brand of “dead-beat”
upon all who are slow in pay
ng. There are extenuating cir
eumctancos in all phases of
life, and financial reverses, |
poverty and ill-fortune are vis- i
bed upon most members of the
human family sometime dur
ing their worldly existence.
Toward such the creditor
world gladly shows patience.
But Hubbard remarks that j
“curiously enough, the people !
who are most given .to this sort;
of sin are not the poor or illit-1
erate.”
Hubbard might have mused
over the matter further and
found that the “postponers and
evaders of small bills,” may be
divided into two groups: Those
who must gratify a mania for
buying, knowing they have not
he wherewithal to pay for
'.heir extravagances, and those
who, without any perverted in-;
tent to defraud or cheat, have
allowed themselves to acquire
the habit of “slow paying.” j
The former in time lose their
credit, but the latter lose the
respect of their fellowmen,
which is greater than credit, j
Make a bargain and keep it.
Every man is entitled to the
dollar he has earned, and if
you accept service you admit
his title to his “pay” for that
service.
THE NEW WORLD.
By all the evidence, we learn
that a fundamental change be
fell the world within the last
two centuries; some change
that was no mere incident to
the grinding of the mills of
time, but one which led swiftly
to new knowledge, new modes
of society, new hopes for prog
ress; and happiness. Observers
have placed at different points
in history the birth of the new
order, and with less assurance
have offered one cause or an
other for the upheaval. Yet it
is clear that modern history is
an effect rather than a cause
and that its stirring events
declare some fundamental
change in the racial environ
ment which has permitted and
created this vigorous confusion
Human nature, we know, has
not much changed. Our loves
and hates, our hopes and
fears, are much like those oi
old. If there is change, it is ii.
the light and air in which
the human spirit lives and
breathes. These, by some mys
tery beyond our present fath
oming, are different, as though
a clean, strong wind had swept
old mists and darkness away.
Such evidence declares that
there is a purpose to history
and some supreme guidance at
work for human destiny. The
new era was not much of our
own making; it came as if in
spite of us, after a long night
of ignorance and misery. It has
given us a new world, rich
with piomise and bright with
hope for ail that is worth
while.

SMILE
Smile every time you get the
chance-its the chance smile i
that wins.
Smile if you’re thin-laugh if j
you’re fat-and if your neither-'
just grin.
Smile at hard luck-the fates
may think you like it and quit.5
Smile and never let the sun set j
on your troubles-set on them
yourself.
Smile at the past and you can
grin at the future.
Smile while you’re awake and
you’ll laugh in your sleep.
Smile when you fail and you’ll
die laughing at your success.
| Smile when you’re mad-and
I cry to frown when you’re hap
py
| Smile at a dime and it will
j look like a dollar. '
• Smile if it kills you and you’ll
die with a grin on your face,
j Smile every time you think of
| it and you’ll soon get the habit.

“Weel,” said the uncle. “I hear
ye hae gotten a wife, Sandy.”
'‘Ye3 uncle; ye’re right.”
“What can she do? Can she
knit? Does she mend your
clothes?’'
“Na,” answered Sandy to all
these questions; “she does nae
thing like that.”
“Humph!” commented the
uncle.
“Weel, does she cook fine?”
he asked after a few moments, i
“And can she mak’ parritch?” j
“Na, uncle,” the young man

“Aye,” replied the old man.
