AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
DOLEFUL PREDICTIONS.
When the automobile came it
was predicted it would make
the horse extinct. Horseflesh
costs more than ever ana
equestrianism continues to
grow in favor. Now the or
acles say the aeroplane will
eliminate both automobile and
horse, but like the horse the
automobile grows in number
and favor. The saturation
point in the automobile in
dustry is always being predict
ed but never reached. It
will be found that horse,
automobile and airship each
have their purpose and wiil
increase in number as new
needs are found for them and
the population grows.
Fron an article in a current
magazine are taken a few
quotations on the subject of
the automobile:
“The automobile stands unique
as the most extravagant piece
of machinery ever devised foi
the pleasure of man.”
“The people are becoming
car-poor as their ancestors be
came land-poor.”
“In this craze for automobile
ownership the joy of security
in the future is sacrificed
for the pleasure of the mom
ent.” V.;;
“The whole scheme of domest
ic life centers in the motor
car.”
“Once the man who borrowed
in order to buy a car was
looked upon as dangerous.”
With some of these state
ments some will agree, but it
is invariably the earless who
predict disaster and chaos be
cause so may of their neigh
bors are on wheels and ex
change old cars for new every
year.
It is manifest from the
popularity of the auto, from
the universality of its use and
from the jealous tenacity all
car-owners cling to their cars,
whether palaces on wheels or
decrepit derelicts, that there
are satisfactions derived from
the automobile which the
clitics of the automobile-age
have not discerned.

TOWN PRIDE.
There is in many towns a
conflict between people whose
first thought is to make
money, and those whose first
thought is to make an attract
ive home town. The first nam
ed people are constantly see
ing chances to make money
through some kind of develop
ment enterprise. If such pro
moters lack good taste, they
are apt to cut up real estate
in an an undesirable way, or
erect flimsy looking dwell
ings, put up unsuitable busi
ness buildings or erect them
in places where they injure
the looks of the town. They
may sincerely believe their
projects help the town grow
and are commendable.
These people are apt to
show enterprise, and if they
only had more sense of fit
ness and taste they would do
a lot of good. In a town where
there is not much pride or
community spirit, a people of
that type have things about
their own way. They go ahead
with their commercialized pro
jects, and the town grows
helter skelter and may never
develop into a real homey
kind of place.
But in a city with live com
munity spirit, these money
makers find that it pays to
conform to a higher standard.
: They learn that the average
; run of peo pie take pride in
their community, and want it
made attractive and beauti
ful. They realize that unless
their developments are in
keeping with the standards
| desired, their enterprises will
not go as well as they other
wise might.
They find that if they put
up ugly houses, people are
slow to buy" or rent them, and
if they build unattractive
stores in unsuitable places,
people may not patronize
them. It is a pleasure to be
able to say that on the whole
excellent standards of taste
are being observed in the de
velopment of Hyder.
The permanent homes and
buildings so far constructed
are in excellent taste and
really attractive and it is to be
hoped that future construct
ion, will follow the same rule.
Mining camps are usually more
or less unsightly, as is also
their environment. Hyder,
however, is situated in one of
the most impressively beauti
ful spots on the North Amer
ican continent and to dese
crate the beauty of the sur
roundings by building a town
of ugly aspect would be
unthinkable.
o
SWAT!
The first warm days of
spring when the plant and
insect worlds show the first
signs of returning life are an
opportune time for hunting
the fly swatter, cleaning the
yard and ridding the premises
of stagnant pools. These are
the days which will decide
I whether man or insect will
' rule the community next sum
mer.
The fly and omequito are
1 prodigious breeders. Each one
| that survives the spring means
i thousands that must be killed
later in the season if man is to
rest in peace and health. Each
one that falls victim to the
swatter or chemical extermin
ators employed early in the
warm season means countless
numbers which will not need
; to be dealt with later in the
! year.
Every housewife and prop
; erty owner can do much to
: ward alleviating the fly and
mosquito pestileces this yeai
i by removing all decaying vege
j table matter and making lib
| eral use of exterminating
1 chemicals and instruments
! where ever there is stagnant
water and vegetation.
To a great extent the public
; is the master of its own destiny
where it concerns he pestifer
ous and disease spreading
fly and mosquito. Now is the
time to determine the summer
status of these noxious para
I sites.

* Women are urged to study
taxation. Doubtless those who
have to pay taxes do study
about it.
S Those who start out to “see
America first” and are not
careful at grade crossings may
see the next world soon.
It would surprise some wives
as much to be kissed as it
would some girls not to
be.
“Was your old man in com-1 c

An advertisement inquires: ,
I “You rinse off the lather-then
| what?”
Well, with us its usually:
“Where in the heck is a tow
el?”
FLAPPER TREES.
Flapper-trees, flapper-trees,
Bare limbs swinging in the
breeze,
That you’re flappers well I
know—
You outstrip each other so.
You may say it with flowers,
but you can’t be very fluent
at $8 a dozen.

your engagement with the
school teacher?’’
Ash: “If I failed to meet her

' to bring a written excuse,
signed by my mother.”

It is estimated that $1,000
i a minute goes up in smoke in
this country, and that does
not mean tobacco smoke.
The next war will be one of
I wholesale extermination, a
speaker declares. The last one j
| was, too, as far as that goes.
The only real argument toi
the return of long skirts is the
thinness of some girls’ under-;
standing.
If short skirts are to remain
; with us permanently parents i
i '.hould be a heap more carefui
i about letting their baby girls;
tart to walk too early in lire. -
The average man can’t think
; of anything more fpolish than
i calling what the flappers weai
j nowadays, clothes, unless it is
i -ailing a salad a meal.
The scientist who said a
! mans’ ingredients are worth
only 98 cents, must have goi
hold of one who hadn’t had a
drink lately.

dust.

A Ketchikan housewife is
said to have asked husband 5

broadcasted daily by a big j
i Seattle concern. The husband
| did his best, but got two stat
ions at once. One was broad

i the other the recipes. This it.
I what he got:
“Hands on hips, place one cup
; of flour on shoulders. Raist
j knees and depress toes, ana
wash thoroughly in one-halij ]
up of milk. In four counts
aise the lower legs and masn !
