AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
MEMORIES.
Memorial Day each year finds
a grateful people eager to pay
homage to the dead and the
living in whose memory and
honor the holiday is set apart.
Each year reduces still more
the blue remnant of a great
army that defended unto
death a great moral principle.
And the shrinking line of blue
touches the heart deeply.
Wars following that of the
Rebellion have seen to it that
for many years to come there
will be Memorial Days in
America. The ranks of dark
blue have blended with the
blue of l.ghter shade, so famil
iar in the Spanish-American
war, and these in turn with
the khaki of the great World
war, assuring a continuance in
its present form of Memorial
Day observance. But even if it
should be that no future wars
should furnish martyrs, the
gratitude of the American
people to their soldier dead
will make perpetual an an
nual day in which to pay them
tribute.
Inspiring as is the procession,
eloquent as may be the orator,
touching as may be the flower
ing of veterans’ graves, these
seem wholly inadequate as
honors to the departed and the
living. These men fought and
died in battle and prison camp
not that their sacrifices might
be the annual occasion of spec
tacle and ceremony. Theirs
was a nobler mission, a finer
purpose. They fought for a
principle, for an ideal, which
they had a right to expect
their heirs would hold safe
and secure.
Gratitude and appreciation
are not always best expressed
by lips and gestures. What
America owes these warriors
is more than the suspension of ;
business one day a year, more i
than applause and cheers when i
their flag is carried by, more <
than pensions and bonus, more ;
than spoken or written eulogy, s
A greater part of that debt is j
in firm and fixed resolution to I j
carry forward and upward the
ideals for which these men
bled and sweat, to make se
cure the victory they won, to
translate into results the noble
purposes that stirred their
souls.
-o
MUCH IS WASTED.
Many merchants are disgust
ed with advertising when
their efforts are seemingly un
rewarded but they must re
member that the public is not
as interested in their proposit
ion as they themselves are.
Much advertising is 'wasted
due to the fact that the adver
tiser is not able to place him
self in the prospective reader’s
place and write the advertise
ment accordingly. If you give
your advertising the time and
thought it deserves it will
eventually attract the people
you are after and will bring
returns far in excess of its cost.
P. T. Barnum once said: ”If
you have ten dollars to put to
good use put one up for the
article and the other nine for
advertising. I can out-talk any
man but a printer. The man
who can stick type and talk to
3everal thousand people while
[ am talking to one is the man
that I am afraid of, and I want
him for my friend”- v
--o
HORSE SHOES.
It seems as if the game of
horse shoes is growing on the
A.merican public, judging by
;he reports of tournaments in
various parts of the country,
rhis form f sport, going back
n principle to the discus
hrowing of the ancient Greeks
las never been absent within
he period of written history,
n early England it was known
is quoits, with heavy iron
■ings used, and this name and
he use of rings persists to a
:onsiderable degree, but horse
hoes appear to be the official
tyle in this country.
Quoit pitching became so
reneral in England in the fif
teenth century that royal at
tempts were made to end it in
favor of archery. One of the
writers of the period speaks of
“quoiting as too vile for schol
ars.” It is noted however, that
scholars at picnics still take to
it as keenly as any, while arch
ery, much as there is to be said
for rts gracefulness and test of
skill, still requires efforts to
keep it alive. Horse shoes, first
used by workingmen for lack
of quoits, now are made speci
ally for the game, with regu
lation weight, and finished as
elegantly as desired, in gold
bronze, nickel plate or alumi
num.
-o
SHOPPER’S WANTS.
“I don’t have to advertise be
cause everybody knows who I
am, where I am, and what 1
sell,” will never make much
more than a living.
The average shopper doe?
not care who a merchant is.
where he is, or what he sells.
But, the average shoppei
does care about information a?
to the cost of what he wants
and where to get it without
wasting time and stops going
from store to store looking foi
j it. —Ex.

A Hyder man called on an
optician to have his eyes test

“No,” said the man.
The optician came closer and
closer, but each time the an
swer was “No.”
Finally he stuck the card un
der the man’s nose and asked:
“Well, can you read it now?”
“No., said the man, “I never
learned to read!”
