Nothing is more important to
Hyder and the district than
the prosperity of the people
in our community and nothing j
will contribute so much toward ■
the prosperity of a community, I
a country or a state as co-op
eration. Work together. If you
can help your neighbor with
out injury to ' yourself, help
him; you will profit by it in
in the end, even though you
can see no direct benefit from
your act. Don’t be a bunch of
static, disrupting the even
flow of co-operation in your
home town or community if
you want it to prosper. The
Portland Canal district as a |
whole is just entering the
greatest era of prosperity in
its history if we only get to
gether and stay together and
forget petty personalities in
working for the general good
of all.
Some people grow wrinkles
worrying over troubles that
don’t exist, and spend miser
able hours contemplating mis
fortunes that can never poss
ibly happen. It would be much
better going to the other ex
treme, as did the colored boy
who peddled hot-dog sand
wiches. This colored boy toted
his banket of barbecued pups
into a lawyer’s office. “Boss,
does you want a hot-dog?” he
asked. “No,” replied the law
yer. “Does your brudder want
er hot-dog,” the colored boy
asked hopefully. “I have no
bi other,” replied the lawyer.
The colored boy scratched his;
head a minute, then asked,
“Well, boss, if you had er
brudder, do you reckon he’d
want er hot-dog?”

A' newspaper worthy of the
name is a public asset. It
chronicles the news of its sec
tion and town. It tells more
brefly of the doings of the
world. It boosts worthy pub
lic movements and sometimes;
worthy private objects. It
gives space to club news, to
church news, to business news.
During a time of public stress,
like the late war, it gives with
out stint of its space to further
j the objects of the government
j and promote patriotism.
Wouldn’t it be just one grand
and glorious feeling if every
one that owed you money
would come in and pay it and
j then you could have that ex
i traordinary pleasure of taking
I your little check book around
j and pay all your bills and the
| other fellow could do likewise
and so on ad finitum. Just how
! much in liquidation does a
! hundred dollars mean? If it
could be traced accurately the
amount would be astounding.
You pay the grocer $10, the
grocer in turn pays his deliv
ery man the $10, the delivery
man pays a $10 coal bill, the
coal man pays the dry goods
merchant $10 and the dry
goods merchant comes in and
nays his $10 to you and you
have the little old ten spot back
but see what an amount of liq
uidating it has done in the
short time it was out of your
possession. “You pay me so I
can pay the other fellow”
vould be a rather unique and
most appropriate form of
greeting.
1 Are you sour on the world?
Take an inventory of your own
feelings occasionally. If you
find that you are in a habit of
trying to entertain your
friends whom you meet by air
ing your real or fancied griev
ances against the persons
whom you do not like, you are
convincing them of nothing
more than that you are slip
! ping.Any person who is soured
on the world has lost his ef
ficiency.

Some people seem to have
been born too soon and others
too late. If Goliath were living
today he could probably make
good on a football team, but
! Solomon, with so many women
| in his family, could not pay the
garage bills.
Just For Fun
It doesn’t need a large com
pliment to swell a small head.
Blessed is he that expecteth
no appreciation, for he shall
not be disappointed.
'
A living is a heap harder to
get than it is to earn.
You don’t have to call on a lot
of folks in order to find them
out.
Those who mean well get the
world into most of its troubles;
those who do well get it out.
That there is always room
for one more cannot long be
said of the automobile.
We can remember when all
that a face needed before go
ing out was a washing.
In this day and time a woman
is dressed up in proportion to
the clothes she leaves off.
Ben Oien thinks the question
now is: “Is beauty skin deep
or knee high?"
The trouble with going to
| law is that the return trip is so
much more expensive.
Judging by the hours most
young men keep nowadays,
they’re all training to be night
watchmen.
BEDTIME STORY
i “Have the milk bottles been
! put out, John?"
If you think a hen makes lots
of noise after she lays an egg,
just listen to a man after he
One step won’t take you very
far,
You’ve got to keep on walk
ing.
Fear is the one thing which
keeps men jumping backward
instead of going forward. Ban
ish it.
The saddest day in Jackie
Coogan’s life will be the one
on which he gets his first
shave.
Gifted with gab and a good
“front” a fellow can put over
a bluff in a city, but in a little
town, where everybody knows
everybody else, he must get by
on merit alone.
Alcohol was first distilled
in Arabia, so maybe that’s
why Arabian nights wer,e so
wonderful.
It is never foolish for young
people to fall in love unless
they intend to fall out after
they get married.
Many a man has had a happy
home until his wife decided
she was too fat and needed to
rest.
The reason some people are
considered clean is because
you can’t see their minds.
The women of today may not
suffer from backache, but if,
they do the old washboard
and broom can prove an alibi.
The stork and the wolf usu
ally work in the same'neigh
borhood.
Every time a woman begins
to talk about her rights it’s
time for her husband to think
up a few of his wrongs.
“What do they teach you in
'school here?”
“Addition, multiplication and
subdivision, ma’am”
Bill Gray says that every
father likes to tell his boys
i how his daddy used to whale
the tar out of him if he open
1 ed his mouth when he was a
boy.
Food experts say that people
j should eat less. We predict
: they will unless something
happens to the present prices
of food.
A hero is a man who has
nerve enough to say “I heard
' you the first time” when his
! ioving helpmate starts repeat
ing her opinion of him.
Abbreviated clothing and
hair have become so popular
that we have an idea that the
fashion dictators are going to
find themselves in the same
class with parents if they ever
| give orders for girls to put
j more on.

she had to take so long to fix

“Little or nothing’’ may be
used to describe what a flap
per wears, but is a long way

little or nothing costs.
Short skirts show that worn

number of divorces show they
