•i ‘■'WSPAPER
BACK UP NEWSPAPERS.
Frequently we are so close]}
associated with institutions or
a commodity that we do not
appreciate their worth. This
applies in general to newspap
ers. Every city, town and han»
let has its newspapers. Even
sometimes a few houses and a
store and garage at a “wide
place in the road” constitute
wccuse enough for the starting
of a newspaper and not infre
quently that wide place in the
road becomes a real town and
when it does one may rest as
sured that that newspaper that
seemed to have no excuse for
Itcginning life had a very im
portant part to play in tm
eommtinitiy’s unexepected de
velopment.
So it is all along the line o
progress. No city ever get
very far without the sincer
cooperation of newspaper
Vet no institution in a city ev
er gets less thanks or receive
more abuse. Probably no othe
one thing is a better index to
a town than its weekly publi
cations. Very often that i
about all the stranger has t
Ko by in making up his min
about a community. If the
newspaper that falls into hi;
bands is a bright-looking sheet
full of news and has a prosper
ous air, the stranger is certair
to judge that it was published
in a live progressive town.
Those who read their weekly
newspapers and carelessly
throw them aside, overlook
the fact that they are not do
ing all for their town that the*
can. If those newspapers in
stead of being destroyed were
placed in wrappers and mailed
from time to time to friend?
and relatives at a distance the
good that could be accom
plished would soon be reflect
ed in the town’s growth.
Chambers of Commerce ar
frequently blamed for not get
ting out mot's boost literatur
to be sent abroad. Those whi
raise these complaints could
do a great deal themselves by
sending out the literature
that comes into their own
hands in the form of local peri
odicals. Rest assured there it
10 business individual in a
town more interested in tht
growth of his community than
is the editor or publisher, foi
as the town grows he grows.

LOYALTY IN SERVICE.
—1
The character of the individ-!
lal may be very largely gaug
d by the measure of loyalty.
ie exercises towards the per- •
on or institution that provides
dm with employment. A real;
ngrate is the person who is ]
lisloyal to the one whom he *
wes the obligation of service, j
The test which may be ap- *
lied to the individual is j
•qually good when applied to j
group of persons, organized i
> act as a unit. An act of un
airness is no less culpable be
‘iuse it is committed by a
roup rather than by an indi
idual.
There are persons who feel j
ider certain obligations to be i
yal to an individual who is ’
leir employer, though they
ave no such feeling when',
leir employer is a corporat-',
n. It is the same idea that!
ules the man who believes he j
•honest but would ride free
n a public conveyance if h*!
ould.
Many manufacturers and oth
* employers complain that
hey are paying the highest
•ages in the history of then
usiness, but they say that
‘oduction has not increaseo
nd that |he quality of the
'ork, if anything has deteri
rated.
It is plain that there is need
*. a return to the principle of
m honest day’s work for an [
inesjt day’s pay.” Any per
-n who takes wages without
1 effort to give adequate re
wUrn should not profess to con
sider himself in the class oi
honest men.
TESTING YOUR
TEMPERAMENT.
You have a temperament. Ev
erybody has. Old-fashionea
folk would call it your dispos
ition. But science is following
a more modern style. So you
might as well get in line and
acknowledge that you, too,
are carrying a temperament
concealed somewhere about
your person.
Very well, then, how about
getting acquainted with your
temperament? It is the child
of your moods and the grand
child of your emotions. Want
to test it out? If you can stand
living with yourself, do this
living with yourself, do this
Tor a month:
When you get up every morn
ing, scowl at yourself in the
mirror. At the end of the
month, say psychologists, your
facial map will resemble a
jector of no man’s land in
cainy weather.
Then start smiling at what
70u see in the mirror on the
thirty-first day. You will perk
jp wonderfully. Friends will
marvel at the change that’s
come over you. And your di
gestion will be better.
But don’t keep up the morn
ing smile too persistently. It
may degenerate into a simper.
Having let your temperament
?o to both extremes, take con
trol and regulate it Let the
balance hang just a trifle on
he side of a smile, and you
will be joyous without becora
ng chronically sanguine.
Just for Fun
Being at the bottom isn’t so
jad if you use it for a foothold.
Holger says you can make j
most any man feel at home by
itarting an argument.
It takes all kinds of people
;o make a world, but only one
kind to ruin it.
Many a school child has reas
on to note the deficient educat
on of its parents when it seeks
help with its lessons.
There is just so much worry,
for everybody. If you dodge!
your share there is more for
/our creditors.
“Pa, what is a convalescent?”
“It is a patient who is still!
alive, my boy.”
“What does it mean by ‘be- j
ing candid,’ father?”
“Speaking unto others as you
would not like them to speak
to you?”
She-“Oh, Jack, that candy
just makes my mouth water.”
The Brute~“Here’s a blotter.”
According to the Blueberry
Kid, the young doctor has to
have patience while waiting
for patients.
To run a hotel strictly on the ■
European plan, says Max;
Behrtnann, the proprietor:
should be at war with someone
all the time.
The only way to escape criti
ism, says Pete Wilson, is to
jay nothing, do nothing and be
nothing.
! “A silent woman is a lovely
thing,” sings a poet. Perhaps,
but it is hard to make women
think so.
The worst luck connected
with a two-dollar bill is that n
isn’t five.
Many a modem girl would
rather attend a hopfest than
work on a hope chest.
Civilization: Outlawing 6-1
inch fire-crackers: Casting lb-1
inch naval guns.
When a man has a big head j
it is usually from what he
thinks is in it, but ain’t.
One reason why boys leave
the farm is the 14-hour day.
A screen star has wed her
director. Now he only thinks
he is.
Proud Father: I just receiv
ed a letter from my small soo
the first he ever wrote.
Friend: How jinuch did he j
ask you for?
Ever see a fellow so sorry he
couldn’t get a few recommend
ations?
A lot of it should be called
impropaganda.
A jazz band is to accompany
a Channel swimmer this year.
The idea, perhaps, is to encour
age him to push on with all
speed and get out of earshot.
He: “Look at me again, will
you?”
She:“No, because if I do
you’ll kiss me.”
He: “Honestly. I won’t.”
She: “Then what’s the use of
looking at you?”
Mrs. A.—“I make it a rule :
never to ask another to do
what I would not do myself.”
Mrs. B.—“But, my dear, sure
ly you don’t go to the door
yourself and tell your callex
you are not at home?”
An old fellow on his deathbed,
in making his will, murmured
to his lawyer:
“And to each of my employees
who have b]eeh with me 20
years or more. I bequeath 2000
pounds.”
“Holy smoke! What generosi
ty!” the lawyer exclaimed.
“No, not at all,” said the sick
man. “You see, none of them
have been with me over a year;
but it will look 'well in the
papers, won’t it?”
Teacher: Now, Billy, how 1
many races of people are
there?
Billy (brightly): Two, sir—
teachers and pupils. The teach
ers are the canine race, and
pupils are the feline race.
The modern girls are all right,
yes,
But somehow we admire them 1
less
Than old-time ones; but, to be
truthful,
We’ll state that we’re no
longer youthful
She (coyly): “But, Harold,
are you sure you love me?”
He: “Well, what do you sup
pose I’m doing-trying to
wrestle?”
If people spent as much tim<
trying to be better as they do
in trying to look better, dresr
better and live better, the re
formers would all have to gc
to work for a living.
