AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
WHAT HYDER CAN BE.
Nothing is in such bad taste
as that form of community
criticism that is purfe and un
adulterated “knocking” with
out a semblance of construct
ive review. It is especially un
becoming issuing from a busi
ness man.
Constructive criticism may
find fault with existing con
ditions but it always is said in
a way that sounds like boost
ing. “Knocking” is talking too
much about what the com
munity isn’t. “Boosting” is
talking about what the Hyder
district is and can be.
The man in business, whether
or not he deserves it, gets most
of the credit or blame for
what his community is. If he
criticizes adversely he is, in
the public’s eyes .just belittling
his own work. But it is never
unbecoming for him to boast
of the many good qualities
possessed and acquired by his
home town. That community
which is without faith in it
self is without hope. And if
its business men lack faith in
it how can the community ex
pect to enjoy the faith of the
lay citizen? However, the
faith Hyder demands of its
citzens is not the blind faith
required of citizens of less
towns. i
The wise business man never
knocks, regardless of how bad
business may be. He knovs
the “hammer” may rebour.^
and strike him. Knowing an
optimistic public is a buying
public and that consumers
tighten their purse strings
with the first cry of hard
times ,he exhales optimism
with every breath.
-o
MAKING SHOPPING EASY.
This is truly the age of ad
vertising, and ever expanding
advertising. One, who counts
himself among the “common
people,” on reading the adver
tisements in his newspaper re
marked that it is dangerous
to the purse to read the adver
tisements too carefully because
you can not even scan them
without finding something you
want and at a price and of a
quality you can’t afford not to
take advantage of.
It can not be charged against
newspaper advertisements that
they force upon the public un
wanted merchandise. They do,
however, inform the public
where their merchandise wants
can be fulfilled and at the
lowest cost. The public, with
the assistance of newspaper
advertising ,is now able to buy
intelligently and expeditiously.
Before the buyer enters the
store he or she knows where
desired articles may be pur
chased and where the most
favorable prices are obtain
able. Newspaper advertise
ments have eradicated the hit
and miss and the hurry and
scurry from shopping.
GOOD OLD
SUMMER TIME
The human race needs the
summer time in which to cool
off. The beasts hibernate; they
have no strenuous intel
lectual life. They don’t worry
about possible fights, short
crops of berries, probable
hard winters or opinions of
their neighbors. They get fat
in summer and sleep through
the winter.
But humans need to estivate
to get the rest-up from their
period of greatest activity.
They have lived a thousand
years in one during the long
winter. 'They have had their
own fears and fears of the
world, in addition to the multi
tudinous cares of their own
business and other interests.
They have crowded on all
steam in meeting social en
gagements ;they have worked
hard at their amusements;
they have been over-vexed
and over-elated most of the
time. Such is the tension of
modern life in winter time.
Without the relaxation of
summer the race would go
stark mad. Let no man con
demn himself for longing foi
vacation. It were better for
us to see to it that every last
human being whose brain hab
run hot with the friction and
the strain of living in days
like these, should be guaran
teed his period of rest and
forgetfulness.
Just for Fun
“Is this hair tonic any good?”
“Well, I spilled some on a
comb, and now its a brush!”
—
George—“Did you sound the
family about our marriage?”
Georgette—“Yes, and dad
sounded the worst.”
A scissors grinder stopped out
front. “How’s business, Tony?”
a man asked. “Fine!” says he.
“I never saw things so dull in
all my life.”
No .constant reader, twin
beds are not porch furniture.
At the Movies: “Madam, the
feather in your hat is getting
in my eye!”
Woman (haughtily) : “Why
don’t you wear glasses, then?”
A Berlin faster claims to
have gone for forty-four
days without food. It is our
opinion that he should have
either given his order to an
other waiter, or tried a differ
J ent restaurant. .
Getting the baby to sleep is
hardest when she is about
eighteen years old.
The Young Hopeful: “Pop,
I’m getting fed up on these
i bedtime yarns! Why don’t you
I unlimber one of those stories
you tell the men folks when
mamma ain’t around,”
He-“I want to buy a present
for my wife.”
Pretty Clerk-“Can I interest
you in something in silk stock
ings?”
He-“Well, let’s see about the
present first!”.
“This is a pretty snappy suit,”
remarked the baby as he was
i put into his rubber panties.

, You often can learn to love
i your girl by reading her old
■ man’s income tax report. „
j “Will burying a black cat in
the churchyard at midnight do
away with warts?”
I “Yes, if they are on the cat.”
—
Don’t kid about safety. You
may be the goat.
IDENTIFIED
Visitor—You remember me,
don’t you, little man?
Bobby—’Course I do. You’re
the same man pa brought
home last summer an’ ma got
so mad about it she didn’t
speak to pa for a whole^week.
“Old Slouchy Slocum is a
heartless chap. He takes pleas
ure in the sufferings of oth
ers.”
“He does, eh?”
“Yes. This morning I seen
him looking into an employ
ment agency watching them
poor devils get jobs.”
Stude—say, who are you
leaning on?
Stewed—Pardon me. I thought
you were one of the pillars of
the church.
If your nose is close to the
grindstone rough,
And you hold it there long
enough,
In time you will say there is
no such thing
As brooks that babble and
birds that sing,
These three will all the world
compose:
Just you—and the stone—and
your darned old nose!
—American Central.
“Father ,will you give me
ten cents for a poor man who
is outside crying?”
“Yes, son, here it is. You are
a charitable boy. What is he
crying about?”
“He’s crying, -“Fresh roasted
peanuts, five cents a bag!”
~“Blessed are the meek,” quot
ed the deacon, “for they shall
i inherit the earth.”
| “They may inherit all right,”
said the irreverent one, “but
somehow or other they never
seem to get possession.”
“They say that the police are
on the trail of those check
raisers, and will soon catch
up with them.”
“Oh, I don’t know. The
chances are tl*e crooks will
forge right ahead.”
Over in London they have
started a campaign to spell by
sound .Over here, most of the
stenogs already spell that way,
if at all.
Mrs. Shortley was discussing
the latest fashions with a
young lady caller.
“Did you say that your hus
band was fond of those cling
ing gowns ,Mae?”
“Yes, he likes one to cling to
me for about three years.”

“Mary,” reflected her hus
band, “Sometimes you’re just
like an angel.”
“Oh, Bob, dear, do you really
think so?”
“Well, it’s this way. In the
first place, you are always flit
ting about; secondly, you are
always harping on things; and
third, by your own account,
you have nothing to wear!”
