AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Ster 1 barometer of industry
and index to general business
conditions and individual pros
perity. is swiftly climbing back
toward peak production, ac
cord;^ the Outside news
journals.
The output of iron in October
wot nearly a fifth more than
in September. A gigantic boom
i3 approaching, with nothing
on the horizon to stave it off.
Ea;l"oads, for instance, are
hanrTng enormous freight
tsnnanres, in one recent week
I reaking all former records.
St >el end freight loadings are
a dead-sure business yard
stick.
The b'g fellows in the busi
ness pond depend almost ab
rol it 1/ on them for indication
of the general business trend.
Here’s hint to the small busi
ness man.
-o
If you I've in this town, and
your interests are here, it is
your duty, insofar as possible,
to patronize the institutions of
the town. Of course if you are I
a drone, only stopping here
w'th ut any interest in the
past, present or future of the I
town -a parasite-sapping all
the life you can from others!
without giving any in return,
there may be some excuse for j
you trading away from home,
but if you believe in giving a
little as well as taking a lot
there is no excusable apology
that can be offered for not
patronizing home institutions.
-o
The mo t dangerous place
to be i3 in an automobile, ac
cording to a prominent insur
ance expert. Thirty per cent of
all accidents he investigates
are caused by motor vehicles.
/Imo t as many accidents (25
per cent of the total) happen
in the home. Regardless of
where you are, safety is large- |
ly a matter of personal caut
ion. Develop the safety habit—
and teach it to your children.
It is worth more than a great
legacy to them.
!
-O- i
The small-town postmaster is
one of the most faithfui and
efficient officials who serve
the American people.
Hampered by red tape and
burdened by many duties they
perform their services with ad
mirable completeness which is
rarely appreciated by their
townsfolk. Nobody pays any
attention when the mail ar
rives on time; it is only when
the mail is late that the post
master’s name is mentioned by
the general run of people.
-o——
No one should be a natural
ized citizen who cannot read
or write the English language
and who has not proven his
fidelity to American institut
ions.
--o
An individual has noted a
saying by a reliable money
maker on Wall street that;
“If a man can save systemat
ically for five- years, he will
never quit. It will become a
habit he cannot break.” And
then wisely remarks~“But the
first four and a half years are
the hardest.” i
-o
Most failures in life are due
to lack of power to adjust.
Instead of spending a little |
time finding out how things
are, and making his calculat
ions to fit them, the man who j
never succeeds figures them
out as he wants them and then j
wears himself out and keeps
broke in vain effort to make
them that way.
---o--—
Co-operation put the unity in
community. '
—--o
Laughter has the approval of
the world. It is the sign of a
merry heart, and according to
an ancient authority, “A mer
ry heart doeth good like a
medicine.”
They are booming a woman j
for speaker of the house, but1
ivhere is the house in which
she is not the speaker now?
---o
The folks that never get
farther than the back row in a
ihurch are usually the ones
ivho get right down in front i
at a movie.
Just For Fun
| According to the Bluebery
Kid, an operation is never h
complete success until the
patient loves to brag about it.
Howard: Why does a stork
stand on one foot?
| Thomas: I’ll bite, why does
jhe?
; Howard: If he’d raise the
other foot, he’d fall.
| A star boarder is the one to
: whom the landlady manages
i to slip an extra egg about once
| a week.
Of two evils, choose the more
pleasant.
And just think, urge? Holger,
with maddening glee, it will
soon be just one bucket of ash
es after another.
Stranger-I noticed your ad
vertisement where you want
ed a man to retail canaries.
Bird store Proprietor—Yes, sir !
Are you looking for a job? |
Stranger-Oh, no; I merely!
had a curiosity to know how '
the canaries lost their tails.
When a Michigan woman ad
vertised for a husband, her
first husband answered the ad.
Such, we take it, is the cuss
edness of coincidence.
Young Thing somewhat hesi
tantly: I’d like to buy a petti
coat.
Floor-walker: Antique de
partment on third floor, miss.
.A married man was always
“getting something off his
chest” for the benefit of his
patient wife.
He died and she caused a
four-ton monument to be erect
ed over his grave.
“Now, dern ye,” she mutter
ed, “let’s see you get that off
your chest.”
“Why did you steal the pearl
necklace from the jeweler’s
shop window?” said the Judge.
“Because it had on it, ‘Avail
yourself of this splendid op
portunity,’ nd I couldn’t resist
it!,” replied the yegg.
You never hear the bee com
plain,
Nor hear it weep and wail;
But if it wish it can unfold,
A very painful tail.
An exchange says a wedding '
party in Cleveland was struck
twice by lightning, but the j
happy couple continued on
their honeymoon. No divorce
court will ever put them asun
der, you bet!
Reformer: Young man, didn’t
your conscience tell you that
you were doing wrong?
Prisoner: Yes, but you can’t
believe everything you hear.

The optimist is the man who
remembers when the coal bill
comes in that he isn’t taking
ice just now.
The medium had aroused
much interest throughout the
crowded hall by reading a
newspaper through a thick
black cloth while blindfolded.
The judges examined the
bandage *over his eyes and
doubled the cloth over the
newspaper, but he still read
with ease anything placed be
fore him.
At this juncture a colored
woman arose and started to
ward the door.
“You aren’t leaving, are you,
aunty?” inquired a lady who
had employed her.
“I suah is,” replied aunty.
“Disheah am no place foh a re
spec’able colo’ed woman with
nothin’ on but a thin calico
dress!”
A farmer entered a hardware
store and exhibited an enor
mous egg; about six inches
long, which he declared had
been laid by one of his own
hens.
The dealer examined it with
the rest, and, then said,
“Pshaw! I’ve got something in
the egg line that will beai
that.”
“I’ll bet you a dollar you
haven’t,” said the farmer.”
“Right,” replied the mer
chant; and going behind the
counter, he brought out a wire
egg-beater.
Some girls make out nicely
and others make up terribly.
