AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
A Happy New Year.
-o
Time for good resolutions. But
don’t, make them unless you
firmly intend to keep them.
A broker, promise to yourself
is in all truth as bad as a brok
en promise to a friend. If you
are rightly constituted you
would most likely be some
what a.hamed to meet the
friend after you had broken a
promise to him. You should be
no less ahamed to look your-1
self in the eye after failure to
keep a promise to yourself. If
you want to be right, remem
ber what the poet said: “unto
thyself be true and thou cans’t
not then be false to any man.”
-o
How often we have heard an
exDression of regret that death
deprived a boy or girl at an
early age of parental love and
guidance—at just the time
they were needed most. And,
yet how many children, whose
parents are living grow up
with as little in the way of
parental love and guidance as
those whose parents have
died? If the boy is the father
of thi man and the girl is the
moth. r of the woman, the
character of America’s future
crj^en hip is dependent upon
the home training for whicn
there can be no real substitute.!
Life, no matter from what
angle you may take a slant at
it. is made up of just two
things—happiness and unhap
piness. Good deeds bring hap
piness, bad deeds bring the
other. If you violate the laws
of nature you are made un
happy by illhess and wrecked
health. If you obey the laws of
nature you are made happy
with good health. And so on it
goes.
-o
“Ma” Ferguson, governor of
Texas is showing her grit in
the face of almost overwhelm
ing opposition, and if she stays
impeachment she’ll be doing
mo-e than her husband was
able to do a few years ago. It
would appear a large number
of Texans are as determined
that a Ferguson shall not rule,
as the Fergusons are to rule. A
death grapple will soon ensue.
-o
What has become of the old
fashioned man who worked
hard six days a week, sat at
home and read in the evenings,
slept soundly and without the
pangs of conscience, went to
prayer meeting Wednesday,
church on Sunday and minded
his own business all the time?
o
A survey of the local mining
situation at the close of the
year discloses a situation that
is not only most encouraging
but also one that leaves no
doubt that the district is on
the eve of an era of great pros
perity.
Exclusive of the great Pre
mier, which continues without
the slightest diminuation the
great production record estab
lished in the past four years?
'here are at present seven
large scale development op
erations under way. Four of
these, the Porter Idaho, Riv
erside, B. C. Silver and Indian
already are on a productive
basis while the remaining
three, Dunwell, Big Misosuri
and Mountainview, are await
ing either the completion of
projected transportation facil
ities or the final development
of operating plans before add
ing their quota to the stream
of ore that is coming down
i from the hills in ever increas
; ing quantities. In addition
| there are at least a dozen
i other properties under devel
I opment which give every
; protnise of becoming mines in
j the near future unless all vis
ible signs fail.
Some at least of these will un
doubtedly become wealth pro
ducers; but we need look no
farther than those named to
I find ample assurance as to the
district’s future prosperity. Ev
ery one of the properties men
tioned has now reached the
stage where sufficient ore re
serves are developed to insure
continued operation for long
periods. With the instal
lation of necessary milling and
transportation facilities pract
ically all are in a position to
undertake large scale product
ion. Installation of at least
three mills is practically as
sured and a smelter project is
included in the development
program of the Big Missouri
Co. Although another year
or so -may pass before these
projects become realities, their
ultimate development appears
no longer a matter for the
slightest doubt. And with their !
realization will come a bount
iful prosperity for the district1
and its people.
Just For Fun
Flappers are said to be a ne
cessity—and necessity knows
no law.
DANGEROUS OCCUPATION
Ad in a Missouri paper: “We
stand behind every mule we
sell.”
The lady was entertaining
the small son of a friend. “Are
you sure you can cut your own
meat, Tommie?” she inquired.
“Oh, yes, thanks,” answered
the child politely, “I’ve often
had it as tough as this is at
home.”
“Her niece is rather, good
looking.”
“Don’t say ‘knees is’; say
‘knees are’.”
An efficiency expert is a fel
low who still lives with his
wife’s folks.
Some people are good like
carrots—everybody says they
are good but nobody likes
them.
The real physician, says a
speaker ,is an idealist who is
trying to make the world look
better. Why don’t they devote
more attention to warts, then,
instead of tonsils?
Many of us leave footprints
m the sands of time, but, the
Blueberry Kid says, few of us
leave small ones.
Some men are known by their
deeds; others by others mort- i
gages.
The mosquito is ike a child.
When he stops making a noise
you know he’s getting into
something.
A scientist has discovered
j 'hat plants grow better if the
day is prolonged with artificial
light. Further investigation
will no doubt show that the
plant which benefits most from
this treatment is the electric
light plant.
J “It’s details that count,’’ sad
i ly mooed the cow as the train
ran over her tail.
The United States is safe
from revolution. It is so big
that all sections of it can’t get
mad at the same time .
A Hyder young man, who
went outside a while agu
writes back that he had a nai
row escape in a canoe the
other night. He asked his com
panion to marry him and sne
refused.
Bill asked John what maue
him so popular with the ladies.
“Easy,” he says, “whenever 1
meet one I say, ‘My, but you’re
getting thinner!’ ”
You can’t blame a spinster for
being particular; if she hadn’t
been particular she wouldn i
be one.
The proprietor’s wife was in
attendance when ye village
cut-up entered the general
store:
Madam, can you give me a
yard of pork?”
“Certainly,” she replied; and
turning to the boy at the back
of the store, called:
“Willie, give this gentleman
three pig’s feet.”
GUESS WHAT IT IS
Of no use to one, yet absolute
bliss to two.
The small boy gets it for
nothing.
The young man has to steal it.
The baby’s right.
The lover’s privilege.
The hypocrite’s mask.
To a young girl—Faith.
To a married woman—Hope.
To an old maid—Charity.
Well a kiss is a peculiar prop
osition, isn’t it?

how small it is now—the bank may help make it larger.
