AN independent newspaper
■m discovery of asbesto?
i) tbt Texas Creek area dis
plays further the remarkable j
diversity of mineral forms
k - wi to exist in that wonder !
■>.•"> mineralized section. Al- j
though the find is of no pres-!
ent v; lue as a source of min
c -al production it is important
r *h 1 gree that it show* j
tha ' already long list oi j
j r. and semi precious
r Oi.e is so far found in the
Texas d.'strict may be further
increa ed in the future by tht
dlieiv-ry of many additional
vr.r'eties of mineral forms. The
discoveries made during the
two years in which the Texas ,
area has been subjected to ex
p brat‘on have shown conclus
iv ely hat its future productioi i
poss'b'Tities are by no mean. '
limi'ol to gold, silver anc
lead extraction. So far these i
a; • ’1 • only minerals fount
ir; * quantities but evi
denare numerous that al
least half dozen other min
erals, >anging from molybde
num nper and zinc to such
1-l ied forms as schee
llte lie and asbestos ma\
ultinv ly be found in corn
met a l quantities. Geograph '
ica ditions are also fav (
r ar nickel, magnesite 1
ch-'-m'te and platinum.
T * n'te the fact that nol i
me I part of the district
has been thoroughly explored
is al eady apparent that it
. an of the most remarkable
uineral areas in the world and
n ;y ’ ’eld an hitherto unsus
pe ted variety of minerals
with further investigation.

ProbaMy more as been said
on law enforcement than or
any o-'hcr phase of our social
I' e in .America. That is true
becaue in law enforement
restg r.h safety and security
of this government, state and
nation.
The need is not more laws,
but a fair, firm and rigid en
forcement of the present laws,
W« have enoughs laws, but too
lit L enforcement. The time is
coming when the people of
this coun.-.y will demand more
of the'executive department of
the government than they do
of the legislative branch. Good
laws should be enforced for
he good of the country, and
he best way in the world to
ret rid of a bad law is to enr
force it.
This marks the beginning of <
.vinter trade—thoughts of win
er essentials, warmer dotti
ng, coal in the bin and num
rous other necessaries. Under >
his caption it is quite true to !
ay that Hyder merchants gen
rally have what you want
vhen you want it. They carry
>ig stocks in all lines, antici
pating the wants and require
nents of customers, rendering
'ourteous treatment and effic-1
ency in handling the trade,
fou are sure of getting what
•ou want among the stores at
his point because the mer
handise is here in great va
iety and assortment.
And remember what money
pent in the town, means—
rour neighbor’s profit on your
/>urchase puts him in a position
o pay you a profit on that ■
ommodity which you have for
ale, whether it be a home, a i
hirt. an egg—or your labo». !
A mistaken idea with some !
'eople is that the newspapei
■i an individual proposition. If
hey don’t like the editor the* j
cel that they must knock the I
>aper and stand in the way of
ts success whenever possible.
They do not realize that the
'ocal paper is just as much a
>art of the community as the
chools, churches or anything
dse. The newspaper is dif-<
erent from any other busi
less, it is a community affair,
j ft is for the service of the
people and not for any indi
vidual.
i You may not like the editor
! md the editor may not love
1 rou any too well—but the
! iaper is responsible, does just
; is much for you as the service
rendered others. There is noth
' ing personal about it; it is here
• for a purpose and that purpose
is to do what good it can in
‘ in every way, and the greater
; the support of those it under
1 takes to serve the better ser
: vice it can render.
! It takes the people to make
j a goad newspaper, and with
: out tne help of the people, no
> one can run a successful news

What this country needs isn’t

get more from the taxes.

nothing.
i Merl says, that folks who get
J divorced inside of a year after
I getting married ought at least
i to be fair enough to give back
the wedding presents.
Bit of advice from a cynic.
, Never reason with a woman,
I just jolly her.
God made the country; the
Senate runs it.
Don’t you think that some of
the speakers who are on the
end of wave lengths otta be
on the end of rope lengths?
Tom McDonald thinks the

most coins.

How’s this for a new version

My country ’tis of thee
Sweet land of Purity,
Of thee I sing.
Land where reformers try
Our joys to nullify,

Our idea about it is that any
woman who insists on planting

trouble in getting through the
pass gate to the reserved sec

Going over Niagra Falls in a
barrel is old stuff. What we
wanna see is some fellow walk
across the Atlantic ocean on
stilts.
Pfite Wilson says the only dif
ference between a girl chew
ing gum and a cow chewing
her cud is that the cow gene
rally looks thoughtful.
What we can’t understand is
why so many people run for
office, when the successful
ones generally win in a walk.
About a woman’s aim they
joke
And say she cannot hit a
thing,
But when tired of the mar
riage yoke,
She shoots, she always hits,

If only some of the men who
rise to the occasion at a pub

Her hair was blown by the
haughty wind,
Which fluttered it and tossed
it;
And then the blamed stuff

And that’s how Mabel lost it.
