AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Tnis newspaper is not connected in any manner with any
stock brokerage firm or other establishment associated in or
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in
formation relative to local min ing development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord with fact.
DOING WELL
Late reports from the big Out
side indicate that business and
and industrial conditions ouc
there are the worst in many
years. Reliable estimates place
the number of unemployed at
approximately 9,000,000, de
spite the much smaller num
bers indicated in the official
report^, while the smaller bus
iness elements are said to
be spending sleepless nights
trying to figure out how to
avoid the sheriff until condit
ions improve.
While we must admit that
conditions in Hyder are not as
bright as we could wish, both
the business man and worker
are getting along nicely, with
plenty to eat and wear and, if
not going ahead, at least do not
have to lay awake worrying
how they are going to stave off
insolvency.
Considering the hard condit
ions elsewhere, we are all do
ing very well and should be al
mighty thankful that we are
living in the good old North
land and far removed from the
struggles and trials of the Out
side world.

THE HOME TOWN PAPER
Whatever its merits or demer
its, the home town paper is an
expression of the community.
Literally it is the “Voice of the
People” in a sense that cannot
hold true for any other med
ium. This „ institution keeps
friends in touch with friends.
To the best of its ability it ans
wr e r a Who, What, When,
Where, How and Why? It
brings the individual out of
himself. It speaks the local
language. It interprets com
munity life. Week by week, or
day by day, it tells the story of
the towm and district.
Most of us are so accustomed
to the home town paper that
we take it as a matter of course
and if we think anything about
it at all, we think of its defic
iencies. These are present
largely because it is run by fal
lihle human beings. The most
lemarkable thing about the
home town paper is that it con
tains so few mistakes, not so
many.
To the merchant, especially,
the home town paper is an op
portunity. His business, too is
a local institution. Unless it
finds some kind of expression
in the home town paper, both
the paper and the business
have to an important extent
failed to function. Each is af
iected somewhat by every suc
cessive failure in this respect.
While the merchant’s relat
ions to the paper are supposed
to be largely those of an adver
tiser, this is a narrow view. The
home town paper is an institut
ion. The merchant can no more
escape its influence than any
bady else in the community.

What Have You Done to Pay
For Life?
Have you done a piece of
work that will live after you to
benefit the world?
Have you planted a tree?
Have you trained a child to be j
un ornament and a blessing to
mankind?
Have you built a house strong :
enough to survive you and ben
efit the next generation?
Have you given the world a
useful idea?
If you have done none of
there things, what Is your ex
cuse for living?

NO PLACE FOR LAGGARDS
Cne of the greatest virtues in
the world is that of punctual-1
ity. There are some people
who appear to have no regard
whatsoever as to time. They
not only waste their own time, j
but everybody’s else with!
whom they come into contact.
Punctuality is merely a matter
of education, and when people
find out that anyone conducts
his affairs on time, they will
adapt themselves to this con
dition. There is no place for
the laggard in modern society.
Just for Fun
Lots of girls think the dishes
wash themselves.
The only thing wrong wiili \
any country is the people.
The new broom may sweep
clean, but it always wears out.
The hand that rocks the crad
; le doesn’t spend much time
rolling cigarettes.
| There may be safety in num
1 bers, but we have our doubts
| about auto numbers.
The demand for politeness is
; great, but somehow the supply
is most always short.
It’s impossible for some peo
ple to resist abusing easy cred
' it.
—
Poverty is no disgrace but it’s
hard to make your creditors
believe it.
| Some folks seem to think that
: the Golden Rule turned brassy
I long ago.
The ladder of life is full of
; splinters but they hurt most
when we’re sliding down.
j Someone says more religion is
needed in the world but fails
i to suggest a monicker for the
1 new sect.
—
“A silent woman is a lovely
i thing,” sings the poet. Per- j
haps; but it is hard to make i
women think so.
Sambo: “Rastus says Pahson j
Brown done ketched him in i
Farmer Smith’s chicken coop.”
Pompey: “M-m, boy! Don’t
Rastus feel ’shamed?”
Sambo: “Nossuh! De pahson
am de one to feel ’shamed. He
cain’t splain how come he done
ketched Rastus dar.”
They met in a local store:
“Oh, my dear; I’ve just heard :
the most terrible bit of scan
day.”
“I just thought you had, dear, |
you looked so happy when you .
came in.”
It seems to us that the reason j
why so many couples get di- !
vorced nowadays is because !
they are always trying to
please themselves instead of j
each other.
Tired of waiting for delin- j
quent creditors to come in and
settle their accounts, an out-j
side merchant with a penchant j
for rhyming, sent them the fol- i
lowing:
The rose is red, the violet blue; !
This little bill is overdue.
So pay it now-don’t wait’ till j
when the rose and violet bloom
again.
For if you do delay it thu3, !
No violets will bloom for us:'
Unless you pay, the rose will'
rest,
Upon our fair and manly chest.
1 he birds will sing, but what
of that?
We shall not here them where
we’re at. ’ I
So come across-we need the
dough-not in the spring,
But now, you know.
The rose is red, the violet blue,
Do we need the cash? I’lFsay
we do!
