AN INDEPENDENT NEV/SPAPER

stock brokerage firm or other establishment associated in or
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in
rormation relative to local min ing development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord with fact.
Aiding the Farmer
Among the many schemes
which have been projected in
the past few years by politic
ians and others in real or pre
tended efforts to aid the farm
ers of the country, very few
have been of any practical
benefit. In fact, some of them
have been productive of more
harm than good.
But there is one species ot
government aid, at least,
which has on the whole been
really helpful. It is the agri
cultural extension service,
whereby farm and home dem
onstration agents trained for
their important duties have
gone among the farmers, their
wives and daughters, and
taught them how to help them
selves.
The various field and home
demonstrations carried on by
these worker,s often under the
most discouraging circumstanc
es, have materially raised the
efficiency or farming and rural
home-making.
Especially effective work has
been done with boys’ and girls’
clubs: work which will exert
a tremendous influence upon
the rural life of the future..
This training of farm boys and
girls for community leadership
is perhaps the most important
activity for the betterment of
agriculture today.

Bogus Reformers
No one will deny that now
and then a real reformer arises
who is able to point out some
social abuse that needs atten
tion, and endeavors through
legitimate methods and with
sincerity of purpose to ac
complish the reform sought.
On the other hand, it is ev
ident to every thoughtful ob
server that a large percentage
of so-called reformers are
merely chronic meddlers and
notoriety seekers who have no
honest desire to be of service
to cociety, but are only dis
tributers and mischief-makers.
Brand Whitlock, former Am
erican ambassador to Belgium
j takes the measure of these bo
gus reformers in a recent mag
azine article, in which he de
clares: “most reforms are un
dertaken not to reform or im
prove anybody or to make any
body happier, but to gratify
a love of inteference. Incident
ally they may gratify a love ol
notoriety also, or provide some
one with a job as secretary.
But at the bottom they are in
spired almost wholly by the
love of inteference.”
Due to the gullibility of the
public these loud-mouthed and
altogether offensive persons
usually encounter no difficulty
in enlisting the support of a
ufficient number of people to
enable them to exploit them
reives and their schemes for a
time at least. When one “move
ment” plays out they invent an
ither and so continue their role
j indefinitely.
If the time and money de
j ed to the glorification of these
social parasites were applied
to really worth-while purposes
much good might be accomp
| lished.

Looking For Things
i
Did you ever stop to thin!
how much time we waste ever)
day looking for things whicl
have been mislaid? We mis
place a letter or document 01
tool and spend an hour looking
for it. Often several minute:
are consumed in searching foi
a hat or a pair of spectacles
Some people are even said to
forget where they parked the
ear.
This waste of time through
lack of care in putting things
in their proper places was call
ed to our attention by a very
timely article in a newspaper
which has just come to our
desk. It is such a fine article,
so full of good common sense
and practical advice, that we
shall clip it out for our scrap
book at once.
Now where in the dickens
did we put those scissors?

TEN YEARS OR SO AGO
From the Hyder Alaska Miner
August 31, 1921
By tracing one of his leads
from where it crops on Skook
um Creek, John Hovland has
uncovered what promises to be
the most important find of
high grade ore he has yet dis
covered on his Fish Creek
group. The whole lead appears
to be solid ore of shipping
grade galena and chalcopyrite.
Last Wednesday evening Lil
lian G. Nichols and Marc Ev
erett Wakefield were married
by U. S. Commisssioner John
T. Reed,. Customs Collector E.
R. Stivers and Mrs. Helen Bell,
“standing up” with them. The
groom is the son of the U. S.
Consul at Prince Rupert and
he bride is a well known Alas
ka business woman.
" J. E. Kellerman brought us
a beet this week from Fitz
gerald's garden. We cooked
he beet, tops and all. The root
made a quart of beet pickles
and the leaves cooked up into
a mess of greens that had the
>est spinach in the world back
id into the waste dump. This
/alley will some day be the
garden spot of Alaska.
It is worth taking a trip to
Fish Creek roadhouse to see
Roscoe, the bear cub and Jerry
he cocker spaniel, have a tug
of war with the rope they keep
cached for that purpose.
In response to a petition for
the establishment of a school
in Hyder, J. T. Bell, clerk of
the court in Juneau, has is
sued an order establishing the
Hyder School District, naming
Tuesday, September 6 as elect
ion day, and appointing J. A
Hall, F. C. Lawrence and Mrs
Rita D. Bachus as election
supervisors. The new district
> takes in the whole of the Sal
| mon Valley but only to tilt
southern end of the patented
townsite.
A big chicken hawk grabbed
one of H. C. Bennett’s chick
ens, which so peeved that in
dustrious citizen that he jump
ed onto the maruder like i
Kansas turkey onto a grass
hopper, seized the voracious
hawk in his bare hands ani
and wrung it’s neck. The hawl
measured over two feet fron
tip to tip.
There is joy in Stewart. I
is reported that the go\ern
