AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Tnis newspaper is not connected in any manner with any
stock brokerage firm cr ofher establishment associated in or
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in
formation relative to local min ing development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord with fact.
HAS NOTHING Tt> DO WITH
MINING DEVELOPMENT
Supporting the long held view
of the Herald that stock ex
change trading in mining
is of little benefit to the mining
industry, if not actually detri
mental thereto, the Mining and
Industrial Record (Vancouver)
has the following to say on the
subject:
“Mining Truth, of Spokane,
criticizes the statement in
these columns that the Stock
Exchange’s function has noth
ing to do with mining develop
ment and operation, merely
providing a means tby which
shares can be conveniently
traded. As we have before
stated, its great use is that it
provides a means for making
shares serve as liquid assets, in
that they can be disposed ol
readily for cash. There have
been a very few cases in which
the Vancouver Exchange has
been used for selling Treasury
Stock to the public. A com
mon proceedure has been the
underwriting of an issue by a
brokerage firm: this has been
passed on to the firm’s clients
at a profit of 100% and up
wards: as soon as it had been
so disposed of the stock would
be listed and traded on Ex
change, early' sales being at a
price higher than it had been
sold to individuals for.
This method of financing
meant that not over half the
money' paid byr the public for
stock went into the ground.
While exchange trading, dur
ing the past two years, was ac
tive and millions of dollars
were invested in stocks, prac
tically not a dollar of this mon
ey ' went into development.
Where prices were boosted the
future was discounted to a
hopeless extent.
The sole benefit mining re
ceived was that, when a brok
er was looking for a new pro
motion, it was easy to get a
block of stock underwritten.
It was in few instances indeed
that the local stock exchanges
were used for financing”.
MIRROR REAL AMERICA
Turning from the big city j
newspapers to the small town j
press exchanges that come to j
the Herald’s desk is like step
ping from the -slums, full of
vile, into an old-fashioned gar
den sweet with lavendar and
thyme and the scent of peren
nial flowers. The pages of the
fcig dailies are so full of mur- J
der, thievery, immorality and
selfishness, that the better j
news is obscured by these glar
nig shatterings of the Deca
logue. One puts the papers
aside with a feeling of depress
ion and heartache that the
world is so full of terrible and
unhappy things.
Then picking up the papers
that lecord the happenings of
the small towns, one gains re
newed faith in life and human
ity. Here are set forth only
.hat which uplifts a commun
ity; the activities of the busi
ness men, the church news,
he civic good accomplished
by the women, school items,
.he happy social gatherings ot :
.he people, the marriages,;
births, and deaths, and all the i
thousand and one daily occur- j
•ences that make up the simple !
annals of the great common i
people, who are really the;
foundation of this great coun
try of ours. Scandals are sel
dom published in the country ;
newspapers, but if it so hap
pens that decency demands it,
he uglier details are omitted
or given a kindly touch that is
wisely different from the un
feeling publicity of the city i
press. The offenders may be
our neighbors, or people we j
have rubbed elbows with all
our lives. They are real hu
man beings to their home town |
paper, while to the great city
dailies they are merely grains
of a sort that are ground out j
hourly in their newsmill.
People sometimes speak light
ly of the country newspaper,
but it is one of the most potent
and uplifting factors in our
national existence. The great
dailies have their mission, but
their scope is too big to touch
very closely the inner things of j
life, as do the small town pap- j
ers.
Just for Fun
What the world await,s is a ;
message from Mars that won’t:
have to be paid for at this end. j
And speaking of feet, who j
was it remarked, “By their j
dogs you shall know them.’’
Too many folks use money for ;
almost everything but paying j
debts.
Our philisophy is that the
world ends every night and
starts out new again every!
morning.
And yet, no man ever won a i
place in history by trying to
keep from hurting anybody’s
feelings.
CAT!
Mable: “Bill proposed to me
last night.” .
Clara: “Isn’t he clumsy at it?”
Common sense may not be
“modern” in the view of the
view of the rising generation 1
but it gets there just the same.
It is not true that all the;
world loves a lover. Only a I
small portion of it can hardly I
stand him.
He: “A kiss is the language
of love.”
She: “Well, why don’t you
say something?”
i A girl out in Chicago recently
forgot her name. Could have
been worse at that. We know
some girls who forget them
selves.
fete Wilson says maybe one
of the reasons, why we don't
have women presidents is that
few of them ever reach the re
quired age.
The verdict in a number of re
cent Outside cases leaves us
with the impression that just-!
ice, in addition to being blind. 1
is extraordinarily dumb.
“That is a skyscraper,” said
the guide to the dear, old lady
on her first visit to a gu’eat city.
“Oh, dear,” she replied, “I’d
love to see it work.”
A Congressman is suing foi
breach of promise, according j
to the Outside news journals.
Suppose constituents starting
doing that.
Waiter (at men’s club) :
“There is a lady outside who
says her husband promised to
come home early tonight—”
The entire gathering (rising
together) “Excuse me a mom
ent.”
“You are charged with being
intoxicated,” said the judge.
“What is your name?”
“My name is Angus McPher
son,” replied the prisoner.
“And who bought you the
liquor?” asked the judge.
An Outside paper reports
that an Eskimo, brought to
New York on a sightseeing
trip, described the modern
American girls he encountered
as “onnanutziak.” That leaves
only “onna” and “ziak” to be
explained.

A small boy was learning to
skate. Having no one to help
him, he fell again and again.
A kind-hearted lady standing
on the bank said: “Why, son-1
ny, you are getting all bumped
up. I wouldn’t stay on the ice
and keep falling down so; I'd
just come off and watch the :
others.” With tears rolling
down his cheeks, the child
looked from his advisor to the
shining steel on his feet and
answered half indignantly: “I
didn’t get a pair o’ new skates
to give up with. I got ’em to
learn with.” -
Life’s hard tasks are never
rent us “to give up with.” They
are always intended to teach.
Have you seen the little book
let “Coming to Terms With
1 ife”? It will help us to under
stand life better. Ask the Past
er for one.
