AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
T.iis newspaper is not connected in any manner with any
stock brokerage firm tr 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.
THINGS OF THE PAST
The business man or manu
facturer whose hopes for the
future are wrapped up in an
expected return to pre-war
nohmalcy is out on a limb. For
per-war normalcy never will
return. That’s history.
Very often we hear suggest
ions and hopes of things to a
pre-war basis and old-time
methods, but, according to Dr.
Julius Klein, of the United
States Department of Com
merce, such a retrogression
would be about as simple as an
attempt to return to the mid
dle ages - and about as profit
able. There is no longer any
hope of the old-fashioned
methods and customs succeed
ing in modern business life in
the United Slates. American
business never was more dy
namic and volatile than it is to
day, with a constantly chang
ing front in practically all
lines.
Since 1921, Mr. Klein points |
out, American business has i
left as monuments of its prog- ,
ress a long succession of junk
heaps of discarded processes.!
antiquated ideas and obsolete
policies. There have been trag- i
edies of those who clung too
long to revered and once prof
itable practices.
The new business man to be
much of a success, must be
eager to take advantage of the
slightest changes in trend. It*is
no day for secrecy. Backward •
glances may appeal but they
should not be longing and de
sirous of what is behind, but in
telligently inquisitive of facts
that may be useful in the pres-;
ent; for the bygone days will
never again return.
BUILDING A FOUNDATION
We encountered a savings [
bank advertisement the other1
day which said: “If you dream '
castles in the air, save and put I
a foundation under them.’’
Once there was a young man j
who had always dreamed of
being wealthy. As a boy he
pictured himself dressed in the
height of fashion, snappy cut
to his clothes, and all that, i
walking down Main Street.
People on the sidewalk would
point him out, saying, “Ye3,
there’s Sam Brown; young fel-!
low, but smart. Yes, sir, smart.
Owns that big house on the hill
and has a good pile salted
down already. Must be worth
$100,000.”
So Sam. as an initial step to
ward wealth, saved and after
a time reached his first goal,
that $1,000 goal after which, it
is said, the money ‘just grows.'
But about this time Sam got a
girl, and then he wanted to
make a splurge. He wasn’t
going to take her into any little
wo by four house; he was go
ng to have that house on the
“ill. So Sam began looking
around for ways and means to
hel p that $1,000 grow, and
like many a thrifty but too im-!
patient young man, bought
vildcat stock. And the $1,000
«vas gone and with it Sam’s-!
:lream of'the house on the hill
md all the' rest.
To return to that bank ad, “If i
you dream castles in the air, !
ave and put a foundation un
ier them.” But be sure that the
foundation is a solid one.
MAN, THE BRAGGART
Man is an inconsistent animal
it best. And lie is a large bun
dle of boasting at all times.
Associating the two traits, men
ioa?t in one breath and call
heir fellows braggarts in the
lext. Though our dual stand
ards of human appraisal will
ict permit of self-praise, the
radesman, the manufacturer j
ind the auctioneer boast of i
the superiority of their wares
»nd are not charged with com
placency even by their compet
itors in business. Self-praise
in individuals is not pardonable
even if such individuals can
prove their boastful claims.
The business man is never
charged with braggadocio but
he must make good his claims
Or bear the indelible stamp of
the cheat and fraud.. The
boasts of men will always
find them out.
Continuing the analysis, this
duality of boasting may be car
ried to communities, nations,
fraternal orders, religions, rac
ial distinctions, automobiles,
horses, wives and so on, down
to pigs and whatnot. Boastful
beings brag up their country,
town, church, automobiles and
pigs and accuse the other fel
low of prejudice and partisan
ship when he ventures to nar
late the fine points of his coun
try, political party and wife.
“The faults which men con
demn are their own.”
There is an ancient fable
which contemplates boasting
in this manner:
A man, walking with that no
ble animal, the lion, showed
the king of beasts in the osten
tation of human superiority a
sign of a man slaying a lion.
Upon which the lion said very
justly, we lions are none of us
painters, else we could show a
hundred men killed by lions
for one lion killed by man.
Just for Fun
He who keeps too many irons
in the fire gets burned.
Some hoys are small for their
age and so are some men.
Lots of us are looking for the
path of least persistence.
Weather forecast: More win
ter.
Being poor is sometimes more
of a habit than anything else.
While it pays to be honest
you are often a long time col
lecting.
The man who makes a fool
of himself almost always
claims someone else did it.
If all women could do as they
please who would wash the
dishes?
Fine motto: Don‘t look foi
wider fields until you have cul
tivated those you have.
Wouldn’t it be great if all the
grouches were as bad off a.c
they think they are?
Expediency: The polite name
for a bit of crookedness that
-eem?. essential to profit.
And yet we doubt if red the
ories have done more to retard
civilization than red tape.
■. . ■
Christianity is easy to under
stand unless theology is of
fered in explanation.
A leaflet for passengers issued
by an eastern railroad says:
“Shower-Bath for Women is in
he Observation Car.”
It is queer how unfailingly
the neighbors find you out, and
how seldom the bill collector
does.
Bad news from Mexico again.
Women will be educated. Then
they will know better than to
do all the work.
Two Sourdoughs in a remote
cabin in the Koyukuk country
were discussing cooking: “Did
yer ever try one of them cook ;
books, Jim?” asked one.
“Yep,” the other replied, “but
never could do anything with
it.”
! “Why?”
“Well, yu see every one of
i tht;m denied recipes started
i the.same way: ‘Take a clean
! dish—’ ”
