ure or irregularity in the delivery of their papers.
AN INDEPENDENT .< VV5PAPER
NEWSPAPER FINANCES 11
There are many citizens who j i
expect to pay their butcher
tnd their grocer every month, I
hut they think that a newspap- j
er subscription bill can be paid
any old time. Some of them ■
will let it run for years, if the
publisher does not cut it off.
And if it is cut off, they get 1
hufty and declare they will
never take the paper again.
They feel indignant because
douot has been thrown upon
their credit. They should re
flect that the publisher gets ;
no go id out of their credit.;
What h i needs, to pay his help
r.".d settle his paper bills, etc.
is ca h. and nothing will take .
place o„' the same.
This irregularity of income
is the curse of many newspap
ers that would be in a thriving
posit on, if they could depend
on the same payments that
the dry goods man and shoe :
store can look to. 1
It takes a .lot of time and ef- :
fort to collect all these little
bills. It usually costs more
than the bill is worth, to col
lect an overdue subscription
account. If those accounts j
could be promptly paid, the
newspaper people could use
the more regular income in
creating new features for their
paper, adding to its usefulness
and interest, and making it!
constantly a greater credit to i
the city of which it is the ex
ponent *
The individual citizen often i
says that he would like to do j;
something for his home town,(
but he has no particular gift •'
for any kind of public work,
so does not know when and
where to begin. Here is one!
way in which he can begin
right now. Let him look on his
copy of the home town paper
and see if -his subscription is
overdue. If it is, let him walk
up to the captain's office and
settle, and take pride in doing
so, realizing that when he per-1
forms that simple little act of \
justice and good business, heI j
is helping an agency that r
works every day for his home £
own, to avoid needless bur-j
lens and expense.

MATTER OF INTELLIGENCE
Many people never seem to
enow where they stand on any
luestion. A large number of
;hose who are entitled to vote ,
'ail to exercise the privilege,
rhey give as reason that ‘poli
ces is rotten,” when in reality
:hey are just too lazy or in
iifferent to give the subject
ntelligent and earnest thought
f they would study conditions
ind issues as they should, so
hat they could vote intelli
gently, they would have less
;o grumble about after each
lection.
5AKES SITS ATOP WORLD
Jake Zannett, from Ouray,
3ol., signed the register of a
.mall Dever hotel and went j
>ut to look for capital. He had
i good lead prospect back in
he mountains and he wanted
>25,000 to develop it to the
mint where big interests i
ould be induced to buy.
He didn’t raise the money.
But he went back to Ouray
letermined to bring that mine
0 the production stage. With
1 single partner, he tackled
he job again, ad after tre
nendous difficulties they lo- ■
ated the ore body and began
hipping $80-a-ton carloads to !
he Durango smelter.
Last month the news was
>rinted that the Bachelor mine
lad been bonded to the Nat
onal Lead company on a
>1,000,000 valuation. That’s
vhat faith did—and now the
vorld will pay its debt of
ratitude to Jake Zanett.—

WHAT’S THE USE?
What’s the use of scrapping !
nd quarreling every time you
ail to have exactly your own
yay about things? What is!
ccomplished by wrangling
ver unimportant things any
way? Sometimes you get what
ou want, more often you do
ot, but in either case the re
ult is affected but little thru
wrangling and fussing.
The person who remains calm
under annoying circumstances
has a better mind than tlhe
one inclined to “fly off the
handle” at a moment’s notice.
The fellow who spits on his
hands, cracks his heels to
gether and threatens to clean
up all who disagree with him,;
only advertises to the world
that he i3 rattlebrained and
equipped with but one re
source a show of force.
Many of the things that seem
of tremendous importance to
us at the moment, fade or en- j
tirely disappear with time. Not!
so with the mean things said
and done in spite and anger. :
The petty selfishness that is'
thus exposed, the littleness
and the intolerance exhibited,
lives long in the memories ol
people who might otherwise
be your friends.
If this is preaching-then
make the most of it.
FOR THE FULLER LIFE.
Interest in physical education :
s growing. Everywhere physi
cal culture colleges and so
■alled life extension institutes
are springing up. Most every
one will agree that this atten
tion into hygiene and physical
training is an excellent thing.
But it seems odd that so m'any
should lay stress on physical
culture merely as a means of
prolonging life. The value ot
physical education in extend
ing life is, after all, only inci
dental. Its real merit is in mak
ng life worth living.
A general extension of the
period of life is of interest
mainly to the actuary. More
appealing to the average man
or woman is the new zest in
life that comes from physical
training and health culture,
it is less the desire to live
longer than to live more fully
that is increasing the ranks of
the physical culturists. A
hearty appetite, a perfect di
gestion, a 100 per cent effici
ent liver, a clear brain and a
general physical exhilaration
given these as the reward of
physical culture, no one wor
ries much about the problem of
life extension.

how small it is now—the bank may help make it larger.
