AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
'.- --- -- -
The ecm^letion of the River
side mill marks another step
in the progress of the district
toward that highly developed
state of productivity to which
it is undoubtedly destined and
there is scarcely a soul in Hy
der and our neighboring town
of St wart who does not re
alize i s significance and re
joice in its portent.
Pnbal 1* no development oc
curing since the commence
ment if operations on the great
Prcnrer has engendered the
spirit of optimism that has ap
peared since the announce
ment -ami down the valley
that ihe new mill was actually
under way. grinding out the
aurate wealth that means in
crensed development and fu
ture prosperity for the dist
rict. T’nrn and the labor of
Ion? and oftimes discouraging
year has proved that the dist
rict ho di almost inexhaustible
ft^ros of m;neral wealth. But
without su-’h applications of
capital and industry as are
represented in mill and smelt
t.r returns their value remains
onl” potential. They give forth
nothin? and their riches are
bb and of no benefit. Hence
the new m’il represents a vis
il b outpouring of the treasure
that brings prosperity and
ftdvrn-oment and the realizat
ion of hones and dreams. The
very ruml b of the grinding,
wl rring machinery is redolent
of the rewards of long endeav
or and years of waiting
for the loosening of the bonds
that chained them in the bosom
of Mother Earth.
Good cause for rejoicing, this,
and for the extension of the
ccmmunal congratulations to
Messrs Strong and Barber and
their associates and to their
abb and courageous lieuten
ant, J. D. Littlepage,, for the
successful culmination of years
of endeavor in the face of dif
ficult conditions and many dis
couragements. All signs betok
en a rich reward for their faith
and perseverance and no one
but is heartily glad that they
can at list commence to reap
the benefits due to courage
and persistent endeavor.
It is wicked to dig up graves
and disturb the dead.
It is almost as wicked to go
into the place of a business
firm that does not advertise in
the home-town paper-for that
is also equivalent to disturb
ance of the dead.
Why wish to disturb the dead.
There are plenty of live
people in this world without
trying to ressurect those who
have gone to rest, both spirit
ually and physically.
A non-advertising man is a
dead one.
Some folks may tell you that
this statement is prompted by
selfishness on the part of news
papers.
This is not true. Point out a
firm of any kind-little or big
that is conducted on a non ad
vertising policy and we can
show you one that is dead in
the shell every time.Absence
of effective competition may
occasionally enable them to
keep going for a time but they
are none the less dead. Their
policies being wrong in this re
spect is pretty conclusive e.vi
' dence that it is wrong in many
'others and that is an indication
that in time they will go down
in failure.Not alone because of
'their failure to advertise, but
'because of fa lse standards and
[adherence to unsuccesful pol
icies.
When a business firm is right
in one great fundamental, it is
generally pretty close to cor
rect in all of its policies.—and
that is what wins success.
When it is wrong in one, it is
usually found to be equally as
far off in others. We have yet
to see this rule fail. There have
been some who gained appar
ent success in disregard of this
rule but the rare exceptions
[ only prove the rule. Sometimes
unusual conditions prevail
which sweep them along to
success in spite of their policies
If one falls into a swift current
they are sure to be carried
down stream whether they can
; swim or not. But it takes a
! swimmer to go up stream in
I either still or swift water.

them out of the seats.

“How do you find marriage?”
“During courtship I talked

neighbors listen.

“No, darling, not for another

The average one—according
to Nagle—dresses as if she
were twenty; talks as if she ;
were thirty, looks as if she :
were forty, hasn’t any more
sense than if she were ten.
One reason that so many men
refuse to have their pictures

pleasant for that length of
time.

~..... Jr jrv’-gaL3
An office boy was asked by a
idappef young man if there
i was an opening in the firm for
!a college graduate.
“No,” replied the office boy
“but if I don’t get a raise of $3
a week there will be.
And here is a real “local.
A certain local young man re
i turned from a trip to the States
not long ago. A few minutes
after coming ashore he asked
a tranfer man whom he en
j countered on the street to go
io the boat and get his bagg
age from a certain stateroom,
jof which he gave the number.
Going on board the boat, the
[transfer man found the cabin
indicated and, supposing it to
jbe unoccupied, boldly opened
j the door and walked in. About
the first thing he saw was a
well-favored young woman
who appeared much surprised
at his abrupt entrance.
“I am looking for Mr.-’s
things,” the puzzled baggage
! seeker announced.
! “T don’t think he left any
thing in here,” the lady replied
;after a glance around the room
The transfer man took another
look at the number on the state
(room door and asked: “But
wasn’t this his room on the trip
| up?”
“No,” the lady replied, “It is
tmv room. I am the stewardess.”
The transfer man backed
out and returned to his custom
er. whom he informed, with a
knowing Smile, that there was
a lady in the stateroom who
c laimed the room had been
! her own on the up-trip. No, he
declared, there was no mistake
j about the number. It was the
; identical number given him by
the customer.
“Well, that most certainly
| was the room I occupied.” the
owner of the missing baggage
i :nsisted.
The smile on the transfer
man’s face broadenend:
“Well, tht may be;” he ans
wered, but I can’t get the bag
gage. If she’s got it she don’t
want to give it up.”
At this juncture, the owner
of the baggage received a hap
oy inspiration: “ Say,” he de
manded, What boat did you go
ho?”
j “Why, the Canadian boat. I
[knew you came from the Out
ride and I thought-,” the trans
| er man began.
“ Oh, thunder!” ejaculated
[the other with apparent relief,
i“I didn’t come on that boat. I
came on the Wales.”
