AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
FREE PUBLICITY
The Herald, like other news
papers the world over, is re
peatedly the victim of artful
attacks in an effort to secure
valuable space for the intro
duction ot various schemes
1oi p.ivate gain or the mould
ing of public opinion toward
“pu ..ng over” some plot or
- cheme.
Son ~ buerau or syndicate or
manufacturer or politician will
... a happy idea, and
i ;ni2 clever fellow will tell
him ju:t how he can work the
newspapers for all the “stuff” ,
needed; whereupon the “ex
pel1” is engaged or the ad
vice is taken without the aid
of the expert. He makes good
at getting the stuff out-- but
publishers are too keen to al
low the grafting game to go
too fur. Invariably, when the
scheme is found out in time,
and the matter is refused, a
threat is hurled at the publish
uo that the “story” will be
given to another paper. This,
works, occasionally, but not
always. In the long run, the
schemer usually loses out be-1
cause never again can the
paper be approached in the;
same way by the same schem- j
or.
The fact must be considered,
also, that unless citizens can
be depended upon at all times
to furnish their local journal
with l.ve stories they cannot.
expect to get away with spas- 1
motic attempts to put over;
propaganda. The editor can-!
not be fooled all the time.

WORKERS SCARCE
In an interview with one of
Ame. i a’s most successful men,
the statement was made that
r.o* man in 50 renders in
telligent service.
If it is true that clerks watch
the dock, secretaries fail to
remember, department heads
lack initiative, superintendent*
fall in a rut-if this be true, is
it not true that this condition
creates for every really ambiti- ]
ous man a field that is wide
open and developed?
The next successful man in
viewed doubled the number of
people who are incapable or
indifferent. He claimed there
are 99 who lack intelligent
enthusiasm, and a sincere de
sire to serve, to every one that
is eager and ambitious, consci
entious and courageous.
At any rate one need not
possess more than average per
spicacity to see that the num
ber who seek to “get by” on
the job far outnumber those
who earnestly strive to be
really useful and to go ahead
on their merits and abilities.

THE DAILY MIRACLE ....
Time is the most valuable of
all human possessions. It out
ranks love, for love is not per
manent. It abides after friends
ire gone and wealth has van
ished. Time is priceless be
cause it is changeless. Of all
other things must say: This,
other thinns one must say:
This, too, shall pass away,
lime is the only thing that nev
ir ceases to be. The most preci
one thing in life is the 24 hours
which are allotted to mankind
•ach day. Time is the change
less possession. And the more
ime one has the wealthier
one is. And in this, Youth is
■he wealthiest of all. Fur
thermore, time is the. equal
possession of all mankind.
Without time nothing is poss
ble. With it, all things are.
Rich man, poor man, beggar
nan and thief, all are equally
blessed by the daily miracle.
Said Emerson, “Give me
health, and a day, and I will
make the pomp of emporers
idiculous.” Said Franklin, “If
thou wouldst lay hold on life,
save time, for time is the stuff
that life is made of.”
Arnold Bennett, in his broch
ire, “How to Live on 24 Hours
?er Day,” says: “You wake up
in the morning and your purse
is magically filled with 24
hours of the manufactured tis
sue of the universe of your
me. waste your lnnimeiy
precious commodity as much
as you will, and the supply
will never be withheld from
you. You cannot draw on the
future. It is impossible to get!
into debt. You can only waste
the passing moment.” •
What a singularly inept race
we are to have invented the
the phrase, “killing time!”
After all, that is the real race
suicide in a nutshell.
Just for Fun
When a financial bubble
bursts, a lot of suckers get
sprayed.
Some men reach the age of
discretion too late in life to be
able to appreciate it.
Women formerly wore the j
wedding ring on the thumb, ;
now they wear the husband
under it.
The Bible is to be rewritten
to fit the twentieth century.
Probably without the com
mandments.
The missing link is a minor
problem beside the husband
who begins to be missing as
soon as the links dry out.
It would be interesting to
know how many writers who
include the Bible in their lists
of 10 greatest books start off
with that merely from habit.
“Always” doesn’t seem long
at all on a beautiful moonlight
night.
The Village Nut thinks the
most modern burglar wears
rubbers to erase his tracks.
A WORTHY AMBITION

letin, Chauffeur colored, want
ed to drive traveling salesman
out of town.
“There is always something
to take the joy out of life,”
complained old Si Tinkerberry.
“Every windy day I get so
much dirt in my eyes that I
can’t see all I’d like to.”
Telegram to dad from son in
college: “Am broke. Send
something to mend me.”
Telegram sent by dad to son
in college: “Mend your ways
and you won’t be broke so oft
en.”
Oren F. says when a “self
made man” marries, his wife
usually makes a lot of alter
ations!
According to “Paddy” folks
with plenty of brass don’t
need much gold.
You’ve all heard of the ab
sent minded man who poured
catsup on ms snoesirings ana
tied knots in his macaroni,
but how about the fellow who
twisted the baby’s ear and
then walked the floor with the
phonograh?
Count Salm has gone back
to Europe still insisting that a
gross injustice has been done
him. Still, they didn’t sell him
any Florida real estate.
First Lawyer: “So you lost
your case?”
Second Lawyer: “Yes, my cli
ent didn’t cross her knees.”
“Yes,” said the old timer,
“when a man’s single, he’s free
After he’s married a year he’s
usually fastened to a bawl and
jane.”
“Are there any marks on the
baby asked the anxious father.
The doctor looked the new ar
rival over carefully and re
plied: “Yes, he’s marked
C. O. D.”
She was very angry and this
is what she said: “And if the
shoe fits you put it in youi
pipe and smoke it!”
The only ithing we know foi
sure about women is that i
lasting friendship between tw<
of them is an impossibilitiy.
Most men, says Dave Aller
are too busy trying to make
a living to keep posted on the
Great Issues of the day.
HIGH HATTING ’EM
“The bride’s brain was borne
by two tiny pages.” From In
diana Daily.
Fete Wilson says that stage
robbers used to use guns ant
horses but those of today use
lipsticks and limousines.
Even against threats of kiss
ing a woman will meet the sit

She: Gee,, but those hot dog:

He: Do they? I’ll drive a little
closer to the stand.
