AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
If you can’t boost the town
you I've in, then move to a
town you can boost. The man
who is living in a town he can’t
help abng and do something
for is plainly out of harmony
with things. He is losing time.
He had ought to move on.
-o
Everybody should ride a hob
by.
President Coolidge is riding
a little one—a hobby horse with
electrical apparatus to put it
thru the bumps.
The president, being an earn
est person, has the moral stam
ina n^-evene in that sort of
efficiency. | i‘;i
Most 01 us need the stimulus
of ihe actual horse and of pre
tending w“ are going some
where on it.
But whether it is a horse,
hobby or real, a garden, a col
lection, books, a farm, radio,
sport, or, in the last resort, ev
en iazz, cross-words, or bridge
rpake it something besides your
business.
Anybody can do two jobs bet
ter than one—especially if he
makes his living at one of them
and spends it on the other.
Two boys recently ran away
from their homes. They were
picked un by police in another
town and sent back to their
parents. When found they car
ried an agreement they had
m?.de before starting out. It
pledged them as follows: (1)
Onee we leave, we stay to
gether. (2) Not to fight. (3)
Not to smoke or steal; (4) if
dispute arises on any matter
toss up to settle it; (5) Fifty
fifty on everything; (6) To
keep going south and not back
(7) Play the game fair. Not
such a bad agreement for two
youngsters to make. It is no
doubt best for them that they
were found and returned to
their homes. Education and a
little more wise discipline
should hclo rather than harm
them. But if they retain their
adventurous, spirit along with
their ideals of comradeship,
fair play, honesty and stick-to
it-iveness they should go far on ]
their journey toward success.
-o
Many persons think they
could get along better if there
were only five commandments.
Congress is not much of an
uplifter, but it seems to raise
its own salary.
—--o
You get a better idea of
American business when you
learn that more than one bil
! lion dollars is spent on one
year’s advertising. Only implic
it faith in the power of adver
tising to make business grow
would warrant such expend
itures. The American business
man “casts his bread upon the
waters,” and he knows it will
return.
-o
If an idle man would bask
in the sun, and do nothing, it
wouldn’t be so bad. But the
idle man is nearly always mis
chievous in one way or another.
-o
A broker who began life as
a messenger boy is to head the
New york curb market as pres
ident. He probably owes his
success in life to knowing
enough to not play the market
'himself.

Where do all the vicious
|stories come from? From those
who have nothing to do, but
loiter the streets.
-o
Senator Lafollette had better ]
watch his flock of black sheep
a little more closely. Some of;
them are said to be showing
signs of the regularity distemp
er.
-o
Upon the merit of. a product
and public familiarity with the
name of the product rests its
I prestige. Upon established
I prestige depend continual sell
ling success.
Man’s duty is to keep the
women dressed up, says a con
temporary, and if he don’t he
'gets a dressing down.
I Tell a man there are 267,
'453,201 stars and he will be
jlieve you, but if a sign says
“Fresh Paint,” he will be sure
to make a personal investigat
ion.

Just For Fun
When you are inclined to
lose faith in the old town just
go and talk to a real estate
dealer.
“What a charming baby, and
how it does resemble your hus
band, said an admiring caller.
“Gracious, I hope not! We
adopted it.
At least it ought not to take a
girl who makes her own
clothes long to do it these days.
Now we know why the bath
ing girls left the magazine cov
ers. They had a better job on 1
the 1925 calendars.
_
| “It says here that the Japs
have singing insects for pets,”
| remarked Mrs. Grouch.
I “Well,” growled her husband
“We have a singing insect next
!door, but shes’s a pest, not a
| pet.”
The average girl hopes she1
will be married and live happy
ever afterward. Anyway, she
hopes she hopes she will be
married.
| You have become a great i
. philosopher when you under
i stand that your opinion is usu
jally about as important as a.
! vermiform appendix, unless it1
I causes trouble, and then, like
jthe appendix, it is removed.
Merl holds that it is a wise
j man who can recognize his
own business from an income (
tax statement after an expert
is done compiling it.
When a man whose name is
Jones is asked how he spells
his name he has a right to feel
that public intelligence has not
begun as yet to touch the high
levels.
! Many a husband, is willing to
accept advice from almost any
; woman except his wife.
Nervous prostration was un
known when people had more
to do and less to think about.
Nowadays, thinks Hubert T j
a girl may have a rough neck j
and still not be a roughneck.
Some men are funny. A Chi
cago man who had never kiss-'
ed his wife, whipped a piano j
mover, who did.
An intelligent citizen is al
most anyone who thinks before
he votes.

| Earl had been looking over
I the cards of greetings on the
counter for some time when
the saleslady suggested: “Here
is a lovely sentiment: ‘To the
Only Girl I ever Loved.' ”
“That's fine,” said Earl,
brightening. “I’ll take five--no
—six of those.”
We have with us always the
poor fellow who forgets post
office holidays and is caught
without stamps with which to
mail his important letters.
Salmon P. Chase’s picture is
to be printed on a new issue < f
$10,000 bills. At that figure
we’re willing to accept one
with Albert B. Fall's.
We are old-fashioned, and if
he is 60, we’d rather hear him
call some lady “Mother” than
to .hear him call one “Sweetie.”
Following the lines of least
resistance is what makes riv
ers, and men, crooked.
Max—Would she let you kiss
her?
Climax—No, she isn’t that
kind.
Anti-climax—Well, she, was
to me.
Do angels have wings, mum
my?
Yes, Darling.
Can they fly?
Yes, dear.
Then when is the nurse going
to fly, for daddy called her an
angel last night.
Now and then we hear of a
girl who went to the bad with
out having kept a diary.
Sometimes a man who boasts
of being Self-made forgets to
give his wife any of the credit.
Too many of these chaps who
have “personality” use it to
borrow money.
Dejoice in the success of your
riend. Envy is the forerunner
of hate.

WEALTH BPINGS JUSTICE
TO PENNILESS MINER
| George Campbell Carson, an
(itinerant miner, aged 58, who
for the past 15 years has been
a guest of the Sailor Boarding
House in San Francisco, was
'recently held by the Circuit
1 Court of Appeal^ to be the in
I v'entor of two of the greatest
mprovements in copper smelt
ing methods made in recent
I years.
The court held that his pat
• ents had been infringed by the
American Smelting and Refin
ing Company and that an ac
counting is due him from that
concern for at least $5,000,000.
Similar suits filed against the
Phelps Dodge Company, of
Arizona, and the Anaconda
Mning Company are expected
to yield him an approximate
total of $20,000,000.
Two years ago Carson at
tempted to establish his rights
I but, being virtually broke and
j without influence, the case
! was thrown out of court. He
j finally succeeded in enlisting
! the interest of Rudolph Spreck
j les and R. H. Smith, San Fran
| cisco capitalists, who secured
[skilled counsel and established
Carson’s claims without diffi
culty.
