ADVERTISING SCHEMES
They.' are merchants in Ily-;
<ter a.-, well as other towns who
v'ii jrunn at most any advei-j
tising scheme some stranger!
brings e round. It ha - been our!
obse vacua that where a mer
chant refuses for any ren..<.-n
to ad’ e tire consistently in his
local newspaper there is very
iifctl > jood to be accomplished
thro -h the pet s homes of
true • onal traveling adver
tising specialists.
There are merchants of Hy
der who have not yet pur an
rdvti .nent in the newspap
er, but who display willing
ness fo buy space on outside
advertising schemes. Now, if
you iust will give your money
to foreign advertisers, let us
suggest that you send it to a
foreign agency so it can charge
a reasonable commission, and
then send the balance to your
local newspaper where it
would have done the most
good in the beginning.
BUSINESS STATIONERY
Did you ever get a letter
from a banker or lawyer writ
ten with a pencil on rough
school child’s paper? If you
did, what do you think of such
a letter? Well, all business
men are just as much judged j
by their letters as bankers and
lawyers are.
Have your name printed at j
top of your paper and in the
corner of your envelope. See
your local printer. He will do
the job for you at a reasonable
cost
Get a typewriter, if possible
and conduct your correspond
ence in a modern way. Type-;
written letters on attractive •;
stationery make an impression '
and command respect and im
mediate answer.

VALUE OF FRIENDS
Have you a friend whose loy
alty you would not question;
v.ho always seems to under- ■
stand, who does not expect ,
more of you than you know
your capacity to be, who is in
terested when you are pleas-a
2d, or sympathetic when you
ire sad, who shows you that
ie values your good will more
:han he does the dollar in
four pocket? Think twice be
'oro you answer, and if you
lave, stay by him, stick to him,
ind if ever need be give him
:he shirt off your back, even
f it’s the last one in your own
wardrobe. A good friend and
true is a God-given asset in
;his day of dollar chasing com
mercialism.

HELP ALONG.
An editor is popularly sup
posed to know everything, but
fou would be surprised to
tnow how little he does know.
Therefore, when you know
inything worth telling, don’t
tiesitate to tell the editor. It
tielps like sixty.

HOSPITALS EXPENSIVE.
If we were a millionaire we
would erect a big hospital
where the suffering could se
cure treatment at a reasonable
*ate. Not free, but when one
lomes back home he would
lot be broke for years to come
:o pay what he expended try
ng to regain his health. Get
ting sick these days is an ex
pensive luxury. Better study
four health before you have
;o visit the health restoring
nstitutions, where it is so
much per.
-o
DO YOU NEED THE MILL?
Before YOUR COMPANY
luilds a mill, make sure that
;here is sufficient ore in sight
:o justify the expense. Too
many companies have erected
mills for the “moral effect”
t would have on the stock
lolders. While the sale of
stock in a development com
pany may sometimes be easier
f there are “wheels goin’
round,” it is never good busi
less and it often is a fatal mis
;ake to construct a concen
trating plant in advance of the
ictual needs of the mine.
There are differences of opin
on, naturally, as to just when
mill is justified. Those dif
ferences of opinion are not
peculiar to mining; we have
heard stockholders in a news
paper corporation argue until
they were red in the face over
the desii’ability of a new press,
and we have seen papers con
tinue to operate for years with
old equipment that had been
pronounced “hopelessly in
adequate” by the less con
servative stockholders.
Mining companies sometimes
are justified in erecting con
centrators in advance of re
quirements if there are reas
onable expectations of custom
shipments from other mines.
One mill may well do for a
group if the ores are simi
lar.—Mining Truth.
Just For Fun
The subject of women’s dress,
snaps Pete Wilson, hasn't yet
been adequately covered.
You may kid yourself as to

Allan says you can’t kid your
kids.
According to the Blueberry

If three years experience as
a husband don’t enable him
to guess what she is pouting
about, he hasn’t sense enough
to be a husband.
Many a girl who would think

A good many people believe
j that when they have borrow

When a man wants an open

in a local court.
“Tommy, why don’t you
■ come to our Sunday school?”
asked the visitor. “Several of
your little friends have joined
us lately.”
Tommy thought a minute and
then asked, “Does a red-head
ed kid by the name of Jim
mie Brown go to your school?”
“Yes, indeed,” replied the
lady.
j “Well, then,” replied Tommy,
with an air of interest, “I’ll
be there next Sunday, you bet.
I’ve been looking for that kid
for three weeks and never
! knew where to find him.”

It’s easy enough to be pleasant
When life flows round and

But the man worth while
Is the man who can smile
While his garters are coming
