AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Communities grow only in
proportion to the support they
receive from the people who
make up the community. Hy
der has no chance to improv*,
in prosperity and size by the
inhabitants investing their
money or buying the necessi
ties of life in other localities.
People who cling to the mis
guided policy of “doing better
away from home lose dollars
in trying to save pennies.
The home merchant is honest
and offers honest values, he
can’t afford tb be otherwise,
though he might be inclined
to. He depends for his living
upon the community which he
serves and he must give the
community what it wants at a
fair price. When you aio
tempted to trade outside and
buy something “just as good’
at lower prices you should
think twice before acting. Ii
you are disappointed in mer
chandise bought at home, you
can always get an adjustment.
The merchant himself may
have been cheated and he it
generally willing to take the
loss rather than have a dissat
isfied customer. But the out 01
town merchant is not person
ally interested in you. His only
hope is to sell you once and he
does not have to take pre
cautions to preserve your good
will.
More than owing it to youi
community to trade at home,
thus keeping your money in
circulation at home, you
should give the home mer
chant the first opportunity io
serve you, from a sound eco
nomic viewpoint.
President Coolidge’s newij
appointed commission to in
vestigate government aviation
has a chance to perform a ser
vice for the country that will
leave its effects for generat
ions.
The people of this country
want the army and navy aviat
ion services kept up with those
of other nations. Colonel Mit
chell says they are not, now.
And he is correct in this.
Personalities, jealousies and
red tape bickerings will not
solve America's air problem..
The commission, unless it cuts
through all the official and un
official nonsense that it will
encounter, had best never been
appointed. The likelihood,
lowever, is that it will funct
on as the president intended.
Certainly it should never lose
eight of the fact that it has
jreat responsibility—that of
assuring America’s air strength
idequate for years to come.
The air service is on trial be
fore the commission; the com
nission is on trial before the
American people, whose ex
perience with air matters has
>een both bitter and costly,
and who are in no mood to
orook further nonsense in a
natter so vital to national de
fense.

According to the latest ap
proved styles, little boys wear
ong pants and big boys wea;
hort pants. We note young
ters apparently not over foui
■ears old in long trousers just
ike their fathers used to weai
and we see large fat men of
30 being young again in knick
ers. But one is not surprisec !
o see anything these days. W t
aw a young lady going fish
ng during the summer. She
vore blue overalls and sus
-penders. We could forgive the
>veralls but not the suspenders.
We think she should have tak
en a sporting chance and left
>ff the suspenders.
Forgiveness is the surest anti
lote for the poison of hate.

Just For Fun
Latsa clinging vines turn out
to be poison ivy.
It’s a long worm that has no
tail.
Joshua must have been a
freak. The Bible says he was
the son of none.
Pete Wilson says he knows a
man who is such a sound sleep
er that the sound keeps him
awake.
Another good thing for the
complexion is to park in a
good bed before midnight.
“I beat up a Prof, today.”
“How ‘zat?”
“Yeah, I passed him on the
hill.”
Balloon trousers are now in
general use but the high alti
tude record is held by skirts.
Just because she is an old
maid is no sign she didn’t havt
a chance to get married. May
be she recognized a gold brick
when she saw it.
Love makes the world go
round which, Earl suggests,
may also account for the fact
that it also makes it dizzy.
Dear, every kiss just intoxi
cates me-won’t you let me be
a drunkard?
Wel-er-yes; but on the con
dition that you won’t mix your
drinks.
Having looked carefully a
round we conclude that soap
is the last thing used in the
acquirement of that school
girl complexion.
The Blueberry Kid says fort
une’s wheel seems to revolve
for the man who puts his
•houlder to it.
There was a young woman
named Minta
Who went to the gym in the
winta;
She slipped on the floor
And ran into a door.
Oh my, how the splinters
went inta!
“When I was your age,” said
the young man’s angry father,
“I was supporting myself on
$15 a week and saving mon
ey.’
“I’m sorry dad.”
“Sorry? What are you sorry
for?”
“Sorry you were underpaid.
You must have been worth $16
a week, at least.”
“If I cut a beefsteak in two,”
asked the teacher, “and then
cut the halves in two, what do
I get?”
“Quarters,” returned the boy.
“Good. And then again?”
“Eighths.”
“Correct. “Again?”
"Sixteenths.”
“Exactly. And what then?”
• “Thirty-seconds.”
“And once more?”
“Hamburger,” cried the boy
! impatiently.
So many mothers are now
using rouge that in self defense
(their daughters must quit
I using it or be considered old
1 fashioned.
I i A wife may take a congress
man’s place, but we haven't
heard of any congressman fall
ing over himself to take his
wife’s place.
What this country needs is
not more miles of territory, but
more miles to the gallon.
A monocle is a pane of glass
worn in one eye so that the
wearer won’t see more at out
time than he is able to under
stand.
: Words mean but little. The
best compliment to a cook is
to let the belt out a notch.
Even women who like bar
gains don’t care much for a
man whose income has been
marked down.
Women are braver than men.
Who ever saw a man slipping
off a shoe in a theatre or a
restaurant?
A woman in Dallas, Texas,
hit a burglar over the head
with a baseball bat. Her em
barrassment was said to be
pathetic when she discovered
that it was not her husband.
It must make a fellow hot to
be fired—it does a boiler.
We’ve noticed that two men.
can admire the same shirt and
still be staunch friends. But
the same skirt. Oh, well that’s
different.
