AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
JANUARY
Janus, the ancient diety, for
whom this month was named,
is usually pictured as having
two faces and this fact is not
without its signification. Jan
uary is very decidedly two
faced. Extreme cold vies with
milder temperatures and the
days are given to rapid
changes of weather conditions
ranging from sleet, snow and
biting winds to periods of al
most summerlike mildness. It
would be difficult to imagine
more variable weather con
ditions than have prevailed
in thi3 section lately and it is
highly illustrative of the reas
on why those wise old ancients
named the month after the
double-faced Janus.
POWER OF ADVERTISING.
Beyond all question the most
potent creator of business de
mands in America is the news
paper advertisement. Millions
upon millions of dollars are ex
pended every day in the stores
of the country because well
written advertisements have
directed public attention to
convenient, becoming, attract
ive, useful, ornamental and
suitable merchandise. The sale
of all necessities, all luxuries,
all indulgences, is more power
fully stimulated by the new*
paper advertisement than o>
any other agency. Only hung
er, cold and nakedness are
comparable to the advertise
ment as a promoter of sales
and even purchases of food,
fuel and clothing are directed
more largely by the business
columns of the press than by
any other influence except
immediate necessity.
The greatest stores in our
greatest cities have been built
up largely by their advertis
ig, their persistent and clever
invitation to the public in the
press to share in their bar
gains. Imagine what would
happen to daily sales of mer
chandise, real estate, theatei
tickets, insurance, books and
other things, if newspaper ad
vertisements (were prohibited
by law for six months. It is noi
exaggeration to say that the>
would drop 50 per cent.
It is not the current news of
events alone that makes the
press of such incalcuable value
to the nation, nor the free ed
itorial expression of opinion.
The business news of the day,
as told by business concerns
in their announcements to the
public, decisively influences
both the volume and the di
section of trade which flows
to this or that office, or
bank. This is a fundamental
fact no business house can af
ford to overlook.
■o
THE THINK SHOP.
Thinking is a human pro
cess that is much neglected.
People do many things in life
entirely leaving out the ele
ment of thought. This world
would be a much better
world, a much better place to
live in, if each person would
simply put his thinking cap on
ind wear it at the perform
ance of each deed, significant
or seemingly inconsequential.
In the office, in the shop, in
the home, in the social arena,
in public places, everywhere,
thought would well play its
; part.
The think shop is one of the
t most important properties of
he human makeup. Lack of
■ iroper thought promotes mis
ery, worry, discontent, sad
; less, suffering, ignorance and
lundreds of things that should
>e destroyed rather than pro
moted. The man who thinks is
he man who«does things ef
iciently and it is likewise with
he woman who thinks. The
oy and girl brought up in the
mbit of careful thinking is
I the boy and girl who will
'mean most to themselves and
their country, m every activi
ty of life there is a striking
necessity for sound thinking.
No person is clearly independ
ent. Therefore it stands each
person in hand to have a care,!
have a thought for the inter- j
ests of the other fellow. And
correspondingly the other fel-!
low being duly cared for will j
care for those who care for
him.
In this way a state or condition
of common happiness may be
maintained. Wounded feelings,
shattered careers, demolished
hopes, slouchy work, deter
mination to revenge and all
mrts and kinds of failures may
•t once be prevented by the
dmplc application of proper
hought. Time and money may j
,-e saved if one will but think ;
when about his immediate j
ask. Patrimonial missteps ;
may be prevented by right ana j
oroper thinking. Many careers j
may be brightened and made j
more useful and larger by'
merely allowing thought to
nvade the territory of prop-!
r execution.
Since thinking is such an im- j
oortant and necessary element,
in the business of life, the cap
acity to think should be care
fully cultivated by everyone.
Just for Fun
Constant Reader—No, John
Bunyan was not a specialist on j
foot trouble.
The better friends women
are today the worse enemies
they’ll be tomorrow.
Home—the place where are
treated best and grumble
most.
Oren F. says woman’s lack ot!
interest in the ballot may be
because its style never changes.
The newspaper that printed
the report that the bride’s
dress was trimmed with “real j
lice” lost a subscriber.
Eddie Haddon says men have
their price, and women then
figure.
“We call her “Wanda,” said
the father of the flappei ,
daughter “because she is never
home.”
Lady—“Is your father going ,
to open a store out in this
neighborhood, little boy?”
Small Boy—Not fer six |
months. They caught him op
enin’ one last night.
Friend (calling on dentist): ■
“My head aches terribly.”
Dentist (absent-mindedly; . ;
‘Why don’t you have it fill
ed?”
When a man is full of himself,:
there isn’t room for much
else, according to Frank
Reichenback.
He—It wouldn’t be much
trouble for us marry. My fatn
er is a minister, you know.
She—Well, let’s have a try ai
it any way; my dad’s a law
yer.
“What a lot o’ cases o’ people
bein' poisoned through eating
tinned food there’s been late
ly, Mrs. ‘Opkin3. Makes you
nervous don’t it l
“Aye,” said Mrs. Hopkins, |
shaking her head. “I wouldn’t
touch the stuff. My poor
’usband always said it was
drinkin’ tea out of a tin cup, j
when ’e was in the army, what i
give ’im delirium trimins.” i
According to Pete Wilson it;
would be a funny world it ev
ery man preached what he
practiced.
Seems to us that Maggie is
bringing down Father oftener i
than she’s bringing him up.
“How’s business?” he asked
the fellow who makes nursing
bottles.
“Fine,” says the latter,
“there’s a sucker born every
minute.”
“Why, Bridget,” said her mis
tress, who wished to rally hei,
for the amusement of her com
pany, upon the fantastic orna
ments of a huge pie, “did you
do this? You are quite an art
ist. How did you do it?”
“Indade, it was myself thai
did it,” replied Bridget.
“Isn’t it pretty, mum? I did it
wid your false teeth, mum.”
Lady visiting ship:—“I sup
pose you have been in the
navy so long, you are accus
tomed to sea-legs?”
Sailor, with single-track
mind:—“Lady, I wasn’t even
lookin’!”
The boy’s mother had him
by the ear, and in her upraised
hand there was a menacing
stick.
“I’ll learn ye to tie the kettle
to the cat’s tail!” she yelled in
wrath.
“It wasn’t our cat!” cried the
frightened boy.
Young Bragger:—“My grand
father built the Rocky Mount
ains.”
Unsympathetic Listener:—
“Aw, that’s nothing. Do you
know the Dead Sea? Well, my
grandfather killed it.”
Mrs. Whistler (who had just
seen Mrs. Wiggins go down
the steps in a sensational man
ner)—“What in the world did
you tell her, Kate?”
Kate:—“You told me to give
her an evasive answer, ma’am,
about yer bein’ at home, so 1
just hit her in the eye and
slammed the door in her face.”
Willie:—“Mamma, do all
angels fly?”
Mamma:—“Yes, Willie, why
do you ask?”
Willie:—“Cause I heard daa
call the hired girl an angei
the other day. Will she fly
too?”
Mamma:—“Yes, Willie, she
sure will.”
“I certainly got stuck on that
claim I bought. There isn’t a
thing in the world its good
for.”
”Why don’t you turn promot
er and form a stock com
pany?”
Mrs. Smith (inspecting friend’s
house)--“Gracious! Why do
you have such a high bed foi
your little boy, Mrs. Jones?’
Mrs. Jones~“So we can heai
him if he falls out. You hav*.
no idea what heavy sleepers
we are.”
To; n, 1 om, the piper a son,
Sto le a car that would hardiy

The engine knocks were heard
for blocks,
So now Tom’s making littit

Come here, my little fel
low,” said a gentleman to a
youngster of five years, while
sitting in a parlor where a
large company were assem
bled, “ do you know me?”
“Yeth, thir.” “Who am I?”
Let me hear?”
“You is the man who kithea
mamma when papa was
away.”
Mother (to son):—“What’s
all the noise upstairs?”
Son:—“Oh, that’s dad put
ting on his heavy underwear.”
