CECIL RHODES
ON MINING
Cecil Rhodes was one of the
financial geniuses of modern
times. The following expresses
his view on mining investment:
“Mining has been the found
ation of the world’s wealth
from the beginning of time.
The governments rich in min
erah have always been the
richest and strongest govern
ments on the earth. The man
who produces gold, silver, lead
and copper, is creating the
raw material of wealth; every
stroke of his pick, every echo
from his drill, adds to the
wealth of every man’s busi
ness in the world. Mining has
always been the quick road to
fortune. A country of great
mines always becomes a coun
try of great wealth, influence
and power, and what you can
say for nations you can say
for men.
“I believe investing money in
a good mining stock is the
most profitable of investments
and very much the safest. And
why safest Because your se
curity is the ore itself—the
raw material of money. The
security for your money in a
good mining company is the
money itself, actual money.”

THE HOME PAPER.
Men everywhere are coming
more and more to understand
and appreciate the influence
of the rural press in the af
fairs of this country.
Only a few years ago we
were told that the local news
paper was passing- that it
could not compete with the
dailies and weeklies of the big
cities— and that it must yield
to the inevitable.
But the prophets were wrong.
It is true that the local daily
or weekly cannot supply in de
tail all of the news of the
world. It cannot compete with
its city contemporary in illus
trations and features.
And yet the local paper is
still with us, and it is growing
in strength and usefulness as
the years go by. Some of the
reasons for its existence are
summed up in this paragraph
from an exchange:
The local paper should be
found in every home. No chil
dren should grow up ignorant
who can be taught to appreci
ate the home paper. It is said
to be the stepping stone of in
telligence in all those matters
not to found in books. Give
your children a foreign paper
which contains not a word
about any person, place or
thing, which they saw or per
haps ever heard of, and how
could you expect them to be
interested. But let them have
the home paper and read of
people whom they meet and
of places of which they are
familiar and soon an interest
is awakened which increases
with every arrival of the local
paper. Thus a habit of reading
is formed and those children
will read the papers all their
lives and become intelligent
men and women, a credit to
their ancestors, strong in the
knowledge of the world as it
is today.
-—o-—
HAPPINESS.
I am that for which you are
looking. I am the goal of re
ligion. I am the objective of
philosophy and science. I am
:he dream of the wretched. I
am the quest of the world, the
great hunger of humanity. I
am Happiness.
My dominion over men is
world-wide. As children they
romp toward me. As old men
and women they totter after
me. I am an insatiable thirst.
Because of me mankind car
ries on business and com
merce. Because of me the
scientist labors long in his lab
atory. Because of me unfold
millions are spent for the pur
pose of education. For men
know that knowledge, health
and business are paths to.' my
domain.
My name is written into the
most exalted declaration of in
dependence on earth. The
right to the pursuit of me has
been written in the hearts of
men and sealed with their
blood. Civilization is my re
ward, and man’s home is my
chief dwelling place.
For all that I am a bright
dream and a beautiful pur
pose, the children of men still
stumble and fall and bruise
themselves in my quest. They
still confuse me with pleasure
and wit^ riches and with pow
er.
Yet I am as I always have
been. I am the same yesterday,
today and forever. The chil
dren know me and possess me,
and the childlike at heart nev
er lost their hold on me.
Just for Fun
FIRECRACKERS
Lighting a firecracker is like
slighting a customer. There is
likely to be a loud report.
Another good Declaration of
Independence is a paid-up life
insurance policy.
With some, the making of
money is looked upon as a gift
and friends and relatives bor
rowing it, look upon it in the
same way.
Don’t keep your patriotism
in the cedar chest for war use
use it every day.
The only consolation a fat
woman has is in occasionally
seeing a fatter one.
Some find paying rent cheap
er than owning a home and
others find moving cheaper
than either.
You may have noticed that
when the price of a commod
ity is regulated its regulated
upward.
Exercising develops, especi
ally exercising your discretion.
Why regard the $2 bill with
distrust? Its just as good as a
dollar bill used to be.
The greatest water power
known to man is woman’s
tears.
Ed. Reynolds says some men
are born great and others
just grate upon one.
A boy isn’t a boy unless he’s
a regular feller, and a girl
isn’t a girl unless she’s a regu
lar teller, says Hubert H. >
An optimist, says Oren F., is
the guy who gets the filling
station man to sprinkle gas on
his suit so his girl will think
he has just had it cleaned.
The pastor said “Marriage
is a fifty-fifty proposition”, an
old married man in ihe audi
ence responded, “That’s right.
Fifty for this and fifty for
that.”
A Note to Teacher
“Dear Teacher—Kindly ex
cuse Johnnie’s absence yester
day. He fell in the mud. ?y
doing the same you will kindly
oblige his mother.”
A loafer usually wishes he
was doing something else.
He who laughs last forgets
how before his time comes.
Being your brother’s keeper i
doesn’t mean keep his shirts.

Eddie D.—“What do the\
three balls in front of an Is- j
raelite pawn shop mean?”
Yael—“Two to one you won’t j
get it back.”
Another easy way to get on
your feet is to teach the kids
to drive the car.
He (anxiously) : I’m afraid
we’ll never get there in time
for the ceremony.
She—Don’t worry-Phyllis is
always late for her weddings.
“He’s a tough baby.”
“How so?”
“They tried to electrocute him,
and he blew out a fuse!”
“Yes, sir,” panted the new
shepherd, “I got all the sheep |
in, but I had to run some to
get those lambs.”
“Lambs? I have no lambs.
Let’s see what you got,” was
the answer.
Looking into the shed, the
astounded owner saw fourteen
panting jackrabbits.
City Banker (visiting the
farm) : I suppose that’s the
the hired man?
Farmer (who had visited
banks): No, that’s the first
vice president in charge of
cows.
A man was carrying home a
big hall clock on his should
ers when he met an intoxicat
ed man, who lurched up to
him and said, “Say Mister,
don’t you think it would be
easier to carry a watch?”
Americans are divided into
two classes, those who go to
Palm Beach and those who
merely wear it.
A very loquacious woman
woman talked a man pretty
nearly to death at a dinner
party, and then, as she got up
with the other women to go
into the drawing room, she
tapped him'on the arm with
her fan and said:
“I talk a lot, don’t I? But if
you men told the truth I be
lieve you’d all admit that you
like talkative women better
chan the others.”
“The others?” said the man.
“What others?”
Son: “Pop, what are spec
tacles?”
Pop: “Spectacles, my son, are
glasses which people look
through.”
Son: “If you look through a
window, would you call it a
spectacle?”
Pop: “It all depends on what
you saw.”
As he pushed his ladders
down the street a sharp-eyed
window-cleaner noticed that
the windows of a certain
house were very dirty.
“Would you like the windows
cleaned, sir?” he asked a man
who was mowing the lawn.
The other peered angrily over
the tops of his spectacles.

“No,” he snapped. “They
don’t require cleaning.”
The window-cleaner sighed re
gretfully and asked softly:
“May I give your spectacles a
wipe over, sir?”
Twenty-nine saw mills oper
ating throughout the Terri
tory reported a total cut of
41,279, 927 feet board meas
ure of lumber in 1927, accord
ing to a recent announcement
in the district headquarters of
the U. S. Forest Service.
Spruce led with a total of 34
745,413 feet, hemlock, 6,802,
358, and cedar 532,156 feet.
Three million, six hundred and
twenty-eight thousand shingles
were also manufactured. The
1927 cut was approximately
6.650.000 less than in 1926
which was one of the largest
in the Territory’s history.

ies in which a gain was shown

5,778,351 feet of this lumber
