PER
AGAIN MISTAKEN
Bond ng of the Cantu and
Frances groups by the Premier
co mpany should be a squelch
ing blow to the knockers who
have ontended that the long
continued failure of that com
pany 10 become interested in
c-.her properties in the district
v/a- evidence that there was
nOi.hr . t worth while outside oi
the Premier holdings. All too
often has this cry been raiseu
against the Hyder district out
side and there is little doubt
that it has been a most potent
factor in breeding distrust of
the camp and its possibilities
in many quarters. Time has
conclus vely disproved that
one-time favorite designation
of “one mine camp," as well
as a variety of other equally
ill founded knocks, and now
the Premier has completed the j
job by displaying a decided
ly active interest in other
properties. Not only has the
company investigated and
sampled a -large number of
the better known properties
during the past year or so but
has ended up by bonding two
of what may be considered as
among the lesser known and
least developed mineral lo
cations in the Salmon Rivei
area.
After this disconcerting proof
that they are again all wrong,
we wonder what else the
knockera can find to yawp
about.
INAUGURATION DAY
The Norris resolution to j
change inauguration day to
the first Monday in January
has been favorably reported
on by the House committee on
the election of the President.
According to the resolution,
Congress would convene two
weeks after the inauguration.
The present date for inaugu
ration was fixed when lack of
transportation made getting
to Washington a long, hard
job. Now that the capital can
be reached in a few days from
the most distant points* the de
lay of four months between '
election and inauguration is
logically ridiculous.
Having inauguration day in
January, we can begin at once
on any changes in policy that
the will of the people shown
in the elections has declared
for.
The Norris resolution may not
pass. The power of inertia is
v ry great. But sooner or later
:;he indicated change will be
made, for the power of com
mon sense is in the long run
greater.

IN NAME OF ADVERTISING
Many business firms charge
sundry items to advertising,
either because they don’t know
what else to do with them or
they can get them by the in
come tax inspectors under
that heading, whereas these
items ought to be charged to
donations or money thrown
away. False bookkeeping ana
records won’t help anybody.
Intelligent analysis of adver
tising is as necessary as is in
telligent analysis of any other
part of business. Find out by
jtudy, tests, etc., what is legiti
mate advertising, and do that
kind of advertising on a busi
less basis.
Don’t load the advertising a«,
;ount with money paid out as
donations. Advertising can be
made the biggest asset in any
business, but it requires more
Intelligence and application
than any otfyer department.
That is naturally true. It is
usual to find the greatest re
mits where there are expend
ed the greatest efforts. Of
course, there must be potenti
alities. But wise advertising
has these.

DIARY OF MANY GARDENS
Owner couldn’t wait for
spring to arrive; sent for
twenty seed catalogues ana,
after studying them for a
month, ordered ten dollars
worth of seed. Ruined pair of
rousers planting seed. Got up
t six o’clock every day for a
veek to see first plant thru
the ground. Hoed garden
twice first week. Hoed garden j
once second week. Hoed gai
den once in next two weeks.;
Neglected hoeing garden. Goes
up town and buys bunch of
radishes. And so on every j
year.
PROMOTE CITIZENSHIP
“To be good citizens,” ad
vises a wise and patriotic
judge, in welcoming new citi
zens to civic fellowship, “you ^
should read newspapers, and |
bring your children up to read
newspapers, so you will know
what is going on in your com- j
munity, in your country and 1
in your world.”
-O-I
TO LIVE LONG!
Work steadily when you
work, play hard when you
play, re3t a little and sleep
enough. Keep your head cooi,
your feet warm. Wash outside j
and inside, have a sense of hu
mor and eat what your body
and brain should have. Wori>
a little to save worrying a lot.
Wisely invest your experience
and part of your income, be
dependable in word, kindly in
deed, and always give gooa
service.
If these rules fail to matte
you live a long apd happy life,
something is wrong some
1 where—and you know where
; it iS.

ODE TO A WOMAN
She’s an angel in truth, a de
mon in fiction,
A woman’s the greatest in all
contradiction,
She’s afraid of a cockroacn, |
she’ll scream at a mouse,
But she’ll tackle a husband as j
big as a house,
She’ll take him for better, j
ehe’ll take him for worse,
She’ll split his head open and
then be his nurse,
And when he is well and can
get out of bed
She’ll pick up a teapot and !
throw at his head.
She’s faithful,, deceitful keen
sighted and blind.
She’s crafty, she’s simple,
she’s cruel, she’s kind;
She’ll lift a man up, she’ll cast
a man down,
She’ll take him apart and
make him a clown.
You fancy she’s this but you’ll
find that she’s that,
For she’ll play like a kitten
and bite like a cat.
In the morning she will, at
evening she won’t,
You’re always expecting she
does, but she don’t.- Exchange

If Einstein’s theory is right,
He is entitled to his fame.
Should it prove wrong, no
doubt we might
Find planets moving, just
the same.
Discoveries are strange and
great,
And yet the hope of all man
kind
Lie3 in a willingness to wait
And toil with a contented
mind.

that its financial affairs should be handled through a bank.
A BANK IS one of the most important factors in the busi
ness life of the country.

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