AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
This newspaper is not connected in any manner with any
stock brokerage firm or other establishment associated in or
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in
formation relative to local mining development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord with fact.
Children and Cars
Children are naturally more
thoughtless and careless than
grown people and are there
fore not to be expected to ob
serve every passing danger.
Drivers of automobiles should
recognize this and make due
allowance for the children and
look out for them.
The only safe way to operate
an automobile where children
are to be passed is to drive
slowly, so as to be able to stop
quickly whenever some unex
pected movement of a child
thrusts danger ahead. Some of
our local drivers appear to
give slight heed to such precau
ion. Only a day or two ago we
observed a driver dashing mad
ly down one of our narrow
thoroughfares within a scant j
five feet of a group of small
children.
There is nothing more tragic
or that more forcefully excites
human sympathy than the
spectacle of a stricken, suffer-i
ing child, and— well, automo
bile drivers cannot be too care- j
ful where there are children
about.
To Pole Under Ice
Men have now reached both
Poles by sea and air. One mdk-e '
means of reaching them re-,
mains to be tried, by submar
ine. Sir Hubert Wilkins, noted
British aviator and explorer,
proposes to try it.
According to his audacious;
plan recently made public, he
will submerge at Spitzbergen
and attempt to navigate under
the ice across the North Pole
and bob up again on the coast
of Alaska.
Ordinary mortals can not im-;
agine what it is that drives dar
ing adventurers to undertake
such hazardous exploits. But!
when the urge to high adven-l
ture gets in the blood it seems j
that nothing can eradicate it.
The idea of doing something
no other man has ever done be
fore holds a fascination which
for many is irresistible. And
to this unconquerable spirit of
adventure the world owes most
of its progress from the earli
est times until now.
-o
Truthful Advertising
Usually the argument is made
that every business concern
should advertise. Generally
speaking, this is true, but there
are exceptions. In fact, some
concerns hardly dare to adver
tise. because they cannot make
good according to tbe require
ments of modern business prac
tices.
When advertising is untruth
ful or misleading it does more
harm than good. Only an en
terprise which fulfills the
promises made in its advertis
ing can stand the spotlight of
publicity. Hence, when we find
a store or other business estab
lishment boldly advertising its
wares or service, month after
and year after year, we may
generally conclude that it can
and does give real values.
Observing the advertised bus
inesses off any community,
large or small, will enable one
to identify the most depend
able concerns in that commun
ity. Only efficient and repu
table establishments dare to
advertise.
-o
Saving the Babies
In the long list of accomplish
ments to the credit of modern
medical science perhaps none
has a greater significance than
the success attained in the re
duction of childhood deaths.
Queen Anne of England, born
in 1664, bore 17 children, only
one of whom lived more than a
year, and he died at the age of
11. Now large families of
children often mature without
a death.
Through medical education
a«d the treatment of early de
fects the child’s chances of
reaching maturity have been
greatly increased, especially
during the last half century.
The lengthened average span
of human life which now pre
vails is largely due to reduct
ion of mortality among infants.
For their effective efforts in
this andotherdirectionslooking
to the preservation of human
life the medical profession and
those cooperating are entitled
to the highest praise.
Just for Fun
A sport writer is one of the
few persons who get paid foi
guessing wrong.
If you don’t need it, it’s not a
bargain.
Few men ever made much
money dealing with their per
i sonal friends or relatives.
Now that it is past, what did
you do yesterday that is worth
mentioning?
What we need is a great mag
azine filled with articles show
ing how and why prominent
failures got that way.
We are not so sure about the
old saw “early to bed and early
to rise,’’ but we do know it
cuts down the kilowatts a lot.

game of playing even furnishes

I ‘No, that was my father.’ ”
She met him in the hall as he
came home late. There was a
bodeful glare in her eye as she
demanded to know why he had
stayed out so late. “I suppose
you have been to see a sick
friend: holding his hand all
evening,” she said sarcastical.
ly. “No, my dear,” said Mr.
Henpeck sadly. “If I’d been
holding his hand, I’d made
some money.”
