AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
I’nis newspaper is not connect ed 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
tormation relative to local mining development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord with fact.
Constitution Day
While Constitution Day, Sept-1
ember 17, is not a legal holiday
observed with appropriate
-vercises in many schools, and
various patriotic societies em
ploy the occasion to renew ac
quaintance with the provisions 1
of our nation’s organic law.
The Constitution of the Unit
ed States was adopted on Sept-;
ember 17, 1787, by the con
vention appointed in pursuance
of a resolution of Congress.
Washington presided over the
convention, which was com- j
posed of 55 delegates repre-1
senting the 13 original states |
except Rhode Island, and that
joody was in session nearly four i
months. The final draft of the
Constitution was made by Gov-1
erneur Morris, a delegate from
Pennsylvania.
Delaware was the first state
to ratify the Constitution on j
December 7, 1787, and Rhode
Island was the last, the date of
ratification being May 29, i
JO.
no first ten amendments,
_ opularly known as the Bill of
Rights, were proposed togeth
er, and adopted by the re
quired number of states by De
cember 15, 1791. Only two
her amendments were adopt
prior to the Civil War; be
tween 1865 and 1870 three
more were added. Since then
four additional amendments
have been adopted, providing
for the income tax, direct
election of United States sen
ators, prohibition and women’s
suffrage.
Every citizen of the United
States should read the Consti
tution and its amendments at
least once a year, and Consti
tution Day is a very appropri
ate occasion for the purpose.
Fake Prize Schemes
A rather ancient scheme for
separating the unwary from
their money is being worked
again, both in the United
States and Canada, accoiding
to a leading business men’s
magazine.
The plan is to insert an ad
vertisement containing a per
fectly simple puzzle which
anyone can solve, and offer
prizes for correct solutions. A
favorite prize is a “building
lot.” Of course, anyone who
•ends in a solution of the puz
zle wins a lot, but he is in
formed that he will be expect
ed to remit a small sum—in
one case $7.75—for the deed
and other incidental expenses
connected with the transfer of
.he property. The “lot” is
veiy small and the $7.75 fees
ilone would net the seller
around $200 an acre for some
.voithless land.
So, if the “winner” swallows
the bait he is out just $7.75 for
’he privilege of working the
puzzle, while his name is
passed along to other swind
lers as that of an easy maik to
be added to the “sucker list.”
There are many perfectly le
gitimate prize offers adver
tised in various periodicals,
but those which require a pay
ment of cash before the prize
is delivered are generally
fraudulent and should be
shunned.

Henpecked Husbands
Henpecked husbands were
applauded by Dr. C. W. Kim
mins, a British educational
leader, in an address before a
woman’s luncheon club in New
York recently. His tribute
must have been most gratify
ing to both the wives and hus
bands concerned. He said:
“The henpecked husband is
the most delightful and child
ish person in the world. Some
hen-pecked husbands are not
really hen-pecked; they are
hen-protected.’’
Another encouraging state
ment he made in this connect
ion was that “hen-pecked hus
bands live longer than those
who are not hen-pecked.”
We must agree that even
though they may not actually
live longer, it no doubt seems
longer.
Just for Fun
-o
Reports indicate that much
canning will be done this fall,
including that of quite a lot of
candidates.
A Baltimore fortune teller
was fined $21.45 a few days
ago for assuring “customers”
that prosperity would return
right soon. Dr. Julius Klein
and Roger Babson should feel
lucky that they did not get life
sentences.
Being merely Americans, we
can't borrow money from folks
who want to sell us something
to be paid for with the money
they lend us.
It appears that modern child
i ren are so dumb that experts
| are needed to teach them how
j to play.

Now Russia consents to pay

kill. Which would be a bad
I system for a lot of us.

We doubt that Japan’s in
! curiions into China are in
spired, like that of Roy Chap
man Andrews, by a desire for
dinosaur eggs.
If scientists had not told us
we have been developing in
telligence for 450,000 years we
could scarcely have imagined
lit.
