AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER^
We used to think that a man
was selfish that would pass a
fellow on the road with an
emnty car and let him keep on
walking. but have decided
here of late that he is a wise
man rather than a selfish man.
When the crooks have all th*
guns and the honest folks have
none then he will be still wis
er. The laws tend to make the
highway safe for the bandit
md extremely dangerous for
the citizen.
-;—o
Wi "rs to a town get then
first impression of the plact
from the appearance of tm
buildings around or near tm
wharf or railroad station. 1
thcjfc' structures are not at
tractive, the visitor may get t
wrong impression which is dif
l'icult to remove. .
It is a fine thing when thi
. cwners of property near the
wharf or station realize tha
they are in a sense “on pai
ade.” and that the condition,
existing on their property arc j
subjected to the close scrut j
iny of a great many people.
If they can brighten up and
improve their property where
it needs attention, they wil
not merely make it more valu
able, but they will accomplish
a stroke for the reputation of
their home community. Their
fallow citizens will appreciatt
wW-ver they do to make tht
citv’s front door look like the
entrance to a homey and wide
awake advancing community.
The flowers and bloom*
ft Ion? the highways are nat
contribution to the de
li e-ht^ of mankind. The indi
vidual who takes or destroy*
these is displaying a sordid sel
fishness of which he should
be a.hamed. Some folks art
all too free in appropriating
these things that do not be
long to them. They have no re
spect for either the rights ol
the landowner or their fellow
travelers on the highways.
These things are no more pub
lic property-excepting to en-i
joy-than the flowers in yourj
private garden.

"What is to be done? That is \
for the lawmakers to say/’ So i
argues most widely read of!
the cynics on prohibition.
The trouble is that it is not
true. It is not for the lawmak
ers but for the law’ enfprcers.
and for people to say—and do.
There is nothing the law'mak
jrs can do. They might theo
etically make minor changes
n the Volstead act, but anj
hange that would interest thi
vets would be unconstitution
il and would be thrown out bj
he Supreme Court.
The law is here to stay, and
ould not be changed, sub
tantially, even if there wert
ny possibility of getting tht
awmakers who wished to do
o. And that is impossible too.
'dost of the wet vote is concen
rated to make a huge majorl
y in a few districts all oi
vhich already have wet repre
entatives.
So electing a wet congres
i an impossibility, and it
ould not constitutionally pas:
ny wet law, even if it were
dected.
Is there then, “nothing tc
lo?”
Yes; two things. The enforce
nent officers can enforce the
aw well or ill. The people car
bey or disobey. That is all.
V
Newspaper reading is a uni '
rersal daily habit, therefore
tewspaper advertising virtual
y reaches each day a great
najority of those who buy.
Newspaper advertising Is
herefore the most valuable tc
ecure local trade, because it
ouches all consumer sourcet
n every community. It give^
he national advertiser the
ame opportunity for complett
onsumer appeal in any local
ity.
It insures quick there and
conomical dealer distribution
md dealer good will, because
etailers are willing to sell
products advertised direct to
heir own customers.
Newspaper advertising can
)e started or stopped over
light, can be prepared be
tween days to meet sudden de
velopments and to obtain im
mediate results and it costs
less than any other kind of
advertising.

“TELL HIM NOW"
If with pleasure you are
viewing
Any work a man is doing,
If you like him or you love
him, tell him now;
Don’t withhold your appro
bation
Till the parson makes oration
And he lies with snowy lilies
o’er his brow,
For no matter how you shout
it,
He won’t really care about it:
He won’t know' how many
teardrops you have shed;
If you think some praise Is
due him
Now’s the time to slip it to •
him,
For he cannot read his tomb- ’
3tone when he’s dead.

This world is filled with
troubles
And it's filled with vice ana

Everywhere are puncture,

One thing I can’t forget,
Whether June or bleak Dec

I ain't found a better yet.
Another beauty about a non*

“Good Morning, sir,” said the j
courteous canvasser. “I called

“Young man, you look after
that car of yours, and watci.

Two colored privates were
discussing the relative menu
of their buglers.
“Why, man dear, dat bugler
