AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Tnis newspaper is not connected in any manner with any
•lock brokerage firm or other establishment associated in or
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in
iormation relative to local mining development that is not be- ,
ileved to be in full accord with fact.
The Silver Lining
Every cloud has a silver lin
ing, according to the old prov
erb, and there is considerable
evidence that the cloud of de
pression which has hung over
us during the past three years
is no exception.
One of these evidences is that
the national health has been
better and the death rate low
er during these years. The
first quarter of 1932 showed
the lowest death rate ever re
corded among the industrial
policy-holders o f America’s
largest life insurance company.
Especially noticable has been
the fewer deaths from influen
za, pneumonia and diabetes,
diseases which often result
from too much eating and i
drinking. As Dr. Bundesen,
Chicago commission e r of
health, says, “fewer people are
digging their graves with their
teeth.”
But nobody is starving, al
though many have been able
to obtain only plain food, and
not too much of that. Health
Commissioner Wynne of New
York declares that there is
much loose talk going on about
possible starvation, malnutrit
ion and consequent impair-!
ment of health in that city. For j
the first four months of this j
year the death rate in the nat
ion’s metropolis was only 11.91
as against 13.19 for the same
period of last year, while the
infant mortality was even more
markedly less, dropping from
68 to the thousand in 1931 to
56 to the thousand this year.
In the opinion of many, the
depression has had a certain
moral and spiritual value, also.
There has been developed a
greater disposition toward
kindliness and helpfulness.
Never before has there been
such a degree of solicitude foi
the unfortunate. There is less
| arrogance and snobbishness;
less false pride.
, The depression has taught all
of us some salutary lessons, and
i we shall emerge from it more
thoughtful, more considerate,
and more charitable than we
were before.

Uncluffing The Stuffed Shirts
“It seems to us,” says the
Western News, of Libby, Mon
tana, “that one of the things
which the world has learned
out of the economic depression
is that nobody was quite as
mart as a lot of people were
reputed to be.
“We used to hear so much
about the giants of finance and
.he captains of industry that
vve got an idea that anybody ;
who could make so much mon
ey must be a lot wiser and
smarter than the average man. !
It turns out that some of them
were only a little luckier than
the average man, and some of j
them were just plain swindlers.
And now that we are hearing !
rbout how great banking hous
es were fooled by financiers
with international reputations,
we have about come to the con
elusion that the ordinary man
who works hard at his own
business, and doesn’t buy any
thing cn somebody else’s say-1
•o without knowing all about |
it himself, is a great deal
smarter than the people who
thought they could get rich ;
quick by taking the advice of
the so-ealled big men of af
fairs.
“We don’t think people are
going to be so eager to put |
their money into speculative se
curities on the strength of big
reputations as they were a few .
! years ago. Not for a long time
j at least, or until men who are
j children today grow up and
; think that they are smarter
’ than their fathers were.”

Just for Fun
-o
We like people who are
j broad-minded enough to agree
j with us.
Pei haps the meek shall inher
it the earth, but the inheritance
tax will take it away from
them.
It’s only hearsay, but we have
been told that $1,000 bills bear
the portrait of Salmon P.
Chase.
Uncle Sam is against any fur
ther taking of territory by
force. Since he got what the
Indians had.
If not too late, Henry Ford
should add a red flannel petti
coat to his collection of early
Americana.
Bobby: “Daddy, a boy at
school told me I looked just
like you.”
Daddy (proudly) : And what
did you say?”
Bobby: “Nothin.’ He was big
ger’n me.”
Crickets have ears on their
knees, but it took a scientist to
find it out. If girls were built
like that everybody would
know.
An Alabama newspaper puts
it this way: “If you like our
paper tell the world; if you
don’t like it, keep your fool
mouth shut.”
Country Constable: “Pardon
| me, Miss, but swimming is not
allowed in this lake.”
City Flapper: “Why didn’t
: you tell me so before I un
dressed?”
i Constable: “Well, there ain’t
no law agin’ undressin.’ ”
INTERESTING NOTES
