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
lormation relative to local min ing development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord ■with fact.
The Herald extends to its;
readers best wishes for a Mer
ry Christmas.
The Lesson of Christmas
Christmas has one great less
on for the world.
It is this: Our own happi
ness really depends on how
much we help to make others
happy.
Think this over. Grasp the
full significance of that state
ment and you will realize that
never were you so happy, nev
er were you so satisfied with
the world and yourself a.-> |
when you voluntarily did some
good turn for a fellow human.
We so often get our values j
confused in this world. We of-!
ten forget that true happiness
the thing we really seek in all
our striving and struggling
lies not in ministering unto;
Self, but unto our fellow creat
ures.
Christmas is an occasion that
brings us to our senses, that
makes us realize after all that |
we are in this world not strict
ly as individuals, but as co-op
erating members of a great
family whose hopes and aspir-1
ations are one and whose hap
piness is mutual.
Let Christmas Day fix in the
minds of each of us the etern
al truth that the more I help
my brother to be happy, the
happier I am going to be my
self.
-o
Can Congress Finish?
Already much talk is heard
of the probability of an extva
session of Congress soon after
the short session which will
end next March.
Much will depend, of course,
upon the attitude of certain
groups which ha\e pet mcas-j
ures to advance, or others to
oppose. It appears quite evi
*
dent that President Hoover will
call an extra session with ex
treme reluctance, if at all, but
if obstructionist tactics are pur
sued by those senators of both
parties who seem to delight
in throwing monkey wrenches
into the legislative machinery,
he may be forced to do so.
It is a foregone conclusion
that the present economic sit
uation will be the subject of
much debate, and that all sorts
of remedies will be proposed in
bills to be offered. The farm
relief question is by no means
set*led, in spite of the present
law, passed after several years
of wind-jamming on the floors
of both houses. The Farm
Board will be subject >d to
much criticism, and many pro
posals will be made for modi
fying the existing set-up.
Senator Wagner’s long pend
•ng unemployment bills will
have a new airing. Appropri
ations for prohibition enforce
ment will inevitably bring on a
lot of talk. New bills will be
thrown into the legislative hop
per as a result of almost in
numerable recent investigat
ions by committees of both
houses. That hardy perennial.
Muscle Shoals, will be the sub
ject of another spirited and
probably futile tussle. It would
take a column to enumerate all
pending questions, each of
which somebody o r other
thinks the most vital isnie of
the day.
Amid all this welter of cmi
trovery it is to be remerr bervd
that the annual supply bills,
providing appropriations for
all departmens of the gove m
ment must be passed. It has
been broadly hinted that sorr.
of these will be delibera! ;ly
obstructed in order to compel
the calling of a special session,
Oponents of the administration
deny thi3, but denials or state
ments of politicians, whether
on one side or the other, may
be taken with several grains
of salt.
So, with everything consider
ed, the question of whether
Congress can finish before
Match 4 is indeed a lively one.
Just for Fun
—-o
j Possibly the cracking of the
Liberty Bell was an omen of
what was to happen to Liberty
itself.
Observance of all the health
rules would probably cause us
to live longer than we could
. afford.
It is said that fasting for 15

j metabolic rate”. Try it, if you
! care for that sort of thing.
“Gangster Dies Natural
Death” — Headline. We are
still wondering whether it was
“on the spot” or in bed.
It's unfortunate for some
that their love letters are not
quite hot enough to cause
spontaneous combustion.
A Paris woman refused tc
marry a man who has a twin
brother, on the ground thal
; she wanted a more exclusive
model.
Dumb Dora thinks it wonder
' ful that the world is timed tc
j go around in exactly one day.

Psychological note: If he
carries his small change in a
purse he is probably a tight
wad.
It is written that the meek
•hall inherit the earth, and
that’ the only way they’ll ever
get it. -
Marrying a girl who is
beautiful but dumb would be
all right if she would only stay
j that way.
