AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Tnis newspaper is not connected in any manner with any
stock brokerage firm or other establishment associated in or
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in
formation relative to local mining development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord with fact.
ADVERTISING AS A
HELP TO CREDIT
A financial writer points out
that a business man’s credit is
often much improved in a man
ner concerning which the busi
ness man is himself scarcely
aware of, and that is by a pol
icy of consistent advertising.
Bank men believe in advertis
ing, for they know that it pays.
Their feeling, therefore, is that
when a merchant who is a
good advertiser applies for a
loan, that a reasonable amount
of goods bought by him on
credit, is likely to be turned
over quickly and promptly
paid for, on account of his
methods of keeping his goods
constantly before the public.
Discriminating buyers of ev
ery class also know they can
get fresh goods from the store
that advertises, for the merch
ant who really advertises sel
odm has shop-worn goods. And
in that way advertising helps
the merchants credit not only
with the banks but with his
customers. And one is just as
important as the other.

FIND THE MORAL
The chief executive of a big
corporation, whose time is oc
cupied from the moment he
reaches his office until the
moment he leaves, has devised
a new efficiency scheme. He
has requested all his employ
ees and all his friends, when
they telephone to him, to in
form the operator in his office
whether the conversation they
desire falls under the heading
of “A," “B,” or “C.”
“A” signifies that it. is a mat
ter of great importance that re
quires immediate attention.
“B” signifies that it is a mat
ter of business routine or of
social engagement. “C” means
ordinary piffle.
At the end of the first month
his scheme had worked out as
follows:
With one exception every tel
ophone call received fell into
the “A’” class; his wife Remind
ing him to send the car for her
after luncheon, a friend who
wanted to borrow a few hund
red dollars, his tailor announc
ing that his new suit was ready
to be tried on—all insisted that
their communication was of
great importance and needed
immediate attention.
It was only his chauffer who
modestly told the operator
that his message came under
“C”. He merely wanted to re
port that he had collided with
a truck, smashed a $6,000 car
and injured a policeman.
There is a moral in this for
reformers to figure out.
-o
SUCCESS
With success in life one of the
outstanding fetiches of the
world ,it is well to remember
hat achievement is not always
aiccess, while reputed failure
often is. The most successful
men are not necessarily the
mes noisily attracting public
attention. The best and most
useful women are not the
bright butterflies of fashion on
the stage, whose press agents
flaunt their pictures and their
pretty doings before the pub
lic.
The unlauded men and wom
en who are quietly attending to
their own duties, every day
contributing something sub
stantial to general industry,
prosperity and progress, rear
ing children in habits of useful
work and right living, and sup
plying examples that elevate
the moral and intellectual lev
el of their little communities—
these are the men and women
of real influence and power.
Success is theirs in the fullest
measure, despite the absence of
plaudits from the world, which
is ever slow to recognize true
worth.
How shrunken and pitiful a
thing, how hollow a delusion, is
the shining so-called success of
self-absorbed men and women.
They have only the husks of
ilfe’s golden grain. Like that
soldier of Galerious who found
a shining leather -bag filled
with pearls and cast the pearls
away but carefully preserved
the bag, these self-absorbed
ones are spurning the true rich
es, real success, to hug to their
hearts things that are in the
in the last analysis empty and
of little real value to them
selves and humanity.

IN FLANDERS FIELDS
In Flanders Fields,
the poppies blow
between the crosses,
row an row, that
mark our place; and
in the sky,the larks,
still bravely singing ,fly, scarce
heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days
ago we lived, felt dawn; saw
sunset glow, Loved and were
loved, and now we lie in Flan
ders Fields. Take up our quar
rel with the foe. To
you from failing
hands we throw the.
torch; be yours to
hold it high, if you
break faith with us
who die we chall not
sleep, though pop
pies grow in Fland
ders Fields.

Just for Fun
To secure conservation it
appears to require a lot of con
versation.
The most exasperating man
on earth is the one who asks
for advice and then pays no at
tention to it.
That cow ha? a lovely coat,
Ted.”
“Yes; it’s a Jersey.”
“Well, now. what do you
thing of that? I thought it
was its own skin.”
Customer: “That chicken I
bought yesterday had no wish
bone.”
Poulterer: “He was a happy
and contented chicken, ma’am,
and had nothing to wish for.”
Helen: “My sweetheart gave
me a rainbow kiss last last
night.”
Clarice: “What kind of a kiss
is that?”
Helen: “The one that comes
after the storm.”
Explorer: “Just to show you
th e advance of civilization—
in the past the Eskimos used to
eat candles for desert.”
Old Lady: “And now I su p
pose they eat electric light
bulbs?”
The following announcement
was made in a country church
by the head of the Ladies’ Aid:
“I wish to announce that on
Wednesday evening the Ladies’
Aid will have a jumble sale.
This is a chance for all the lad
ies of the congregation to get
rid of anything that is not
worth keeping but is too good
to be thrown away. Don’t for
get to bring your husbands.”
k According to a local wise
cracker, a lowbrow is a person
who refuses to be bored if
there is an exit near by.

HYDER M. E. CHURCH
( By Rev. H. R. Cross, pastor)
Special Armistice Day Service
7:30 P. M. in memory of those
who have given their lives in
the Great War.
Great progress has been made
since 1914 but has this prog
ress been sufficient to prevent
another World War? We
all have felt the suffering of
war and we can gather togeth
er for this service with a pray
er upon our lips to Almighty
God that we nor the children’s
children may ever know such
suffering again.
A special program compiled
by Dr. Lincoln Wirt, western
secretary of the National Coun
cil for the Prevention of War,
will be used in the service. The
theme of the sermon will be:
“Caught in the Meshes.”
Sunday School at 10:30 a. m.
At this hour it is the aim of
this church to give the boys!
and girls something construct
ive for life, so that it may be i
applied to every day living, j
We would like more of the
boys and girls to take advan
tage of this hour.
WE MOTHERS KNOW
“Peace,” they have said,
Through the sad profit of our J
pain,
We grieve till time is gone;
We shall not learn to build
again,
The bricks of Babylon—
Our sons are dead.
Stilled are the guns.
Good will, they say, shall heal
Shall heal, shall bless
The lands now, year by year,!
But though the merciful poss- j
ess j
The earth, they shall not hear j
Our little sons.
They weve our friends;
Our thought, our breath, our
blood we gave
To make them so;
They brought us peace, and
in the grave
Is all the peace they know,
To make amends.
Leaders and lords,
Who in your pride decree that
thus
Or thus shall the scores- be
paid,
An age is building when with
us
Your reckoning shall be made,
Who have no swords.
We mothers know.
By the world’s hearth we sit
and dream;
Again we watch them die;
They willed the peace that
you blaspheme,
And, though you still deny,
It shall be so.
