AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
TRANSFORMATION.
Today never knows what to
morrow will bring. This is an
adage peculiarly applicable to
this day and age. Never were
conditions in general so topsy
turvy and so subject to change
without notice. Tfoe progress of
evolution has assumed the pro
portions of revolution. Change
was formerly likened to the
hour hand of the clock—there
is a continuous movement but
it is imperceptible to the hu
man eye. But today change is
comparable with the second
hand. All are sensible to the
changes going on in the world
today.
Only a few years ago the gen
eral aspect of the average com
munity changed little from
year to year. Then the erection
of a new building was an event.
In this up-and-going age the
average community is a foreign
land to the old resident who
has been sojourning elsewhere
for five years. A building is a
boom no more unless it is a
matter of millions.
Every village and town should
have a set of before-and-after
bird’s-eye views. They are a
sure-cure for communal dis
satisfaction. While the com
munity is changing constantly,
it takes a'decade to effect a
complete transformation. So a
photograph of Main Street of
today placed side by side with
a photograph of Main Street
of ten years hence will afford
that startling but satisfying
contrast which reassures the
booster and knocks the props
out from under the omnipres
ent malcontents. Millionaires
begin as market boys and mess
engers. Great cities grow out
of a general store and a
church.

.... THE ETERNAL TOPIC.
Mankind is not grateful for
all kinds of weather, but it is
grateful that it cannot be reg
ulated by law, or altered by
constitutional amendments, or
made obedient to the “predict
ions” of goosebone weather
prophets.
There have been times when
one has hoped the amateur
forecasters had guessed it
right, and this is one of them if
their predictions are for an
early spring and long, hot sum
mer.
Wherever March is the peri
od of transition between cold
and warm weather, the state
of the weather and the pros
pects for an early spring and
long summer are the most im
portant topics of daily discus
sion. Even Wall Street is deep
ly concerned with every pass
ing sign of spring. It hopes,
for warm days likely to speed
up business, and it is certain
that after the hardships of
winter prices of speculative
securities will rise with the
warming sun.
When spring comes, the farm
er buys his seed, fertilizers and
machinery; people begin to j
think of new and larger ward
robes; automobiles are in de
mand; housecleaning suggests
new furniture; building con
struction and other kinds of i
outdoor work receive a new
impetus. Together they make
the wheels of industry turn
faster, keep the stores busy, in
crease railroad freight load
ings, lessen unemployment and
increase the national wealth.
As lawmakers have no means
of meddling with the weather,
the weather seems always to
adjust itself to a just and fa
miliar average over long per
iods and to be fixed by natural
conditions. This fact and the
fact that for several years
spring has been tardy and sum
mer below par lead one to ex
pect an early spring and a real
old-fashioned summer this
year.
A good March toast should in
clude a “here’s to” for just
enough rain for the crops and
not too much to spoil vacation
pleasures.
Just for Fun
Little girls are punished for
making faces. But not when
they grow up!
As to the much-praised ant,
he doesn’t produce. Anybody
could enjoy industry if it con
sisted in taking .
Kill time and it will send back
ghosts of poverty to haunt you.
Many a woman talks to her
self while her husband is pres
ent but she does not suspect it.
The fellow worth while is the
man with a smile when his
garter comes down in the mid
dle of the aisle.
One of the advantages of be
ing a free born American citi
zen, says Oren F., is that when
you want to do anything you
can go right ahead without
asking anybody-except your
wife, the police, your boss,
your life insurance company,
| your doctor, and the neighbors.
People who live in summer
suits should go south for the
winter.
“Mary,” admonished the
hard-pressed Hyder husband
as he eyed the milliner’s bill,
“if you can’t learn to pass a
hat, I’ll soon have to.”
With drug stores multiplying
as fast as corner groceries, that
school-girl complexion seems
likely to decorate little sister
for a generation or so.
“The up-to-date girl does not
cry,” says a critic. No: Look at
the price of face powder!
1948 Mother: “Say, I didn’t
give you permission to go
around the world last week, j
You’ll be going to Mars for
dates at this rate. For a month
now, you can’t go farther than
Paris for a week-end.”

Only one thing you can tell by
some watches is what time it
isn’t.
Speaking of typographical er
ror, we ran across this one the
other day, “Newspaper Pants
for Sale.”
The man who isn’t sure of his
ground will take water every
time.
Male: A person who thinKs
he is a great help around the
house because he doesn’t leave
his towels on the bathroom
floor.
It is computed that man has
made some 32,647,389 laws.
And has not yet managed to
improve on the Ten Command
ments.
An open mind is all right, says
Eddie Haddon, if you know
when to close your mouth.
Many a woman regrets that
she didn’t have the training of
her husband from the time he
was a child.
Usher (to cold dignified
lady): “Are you a friend of
the groom?”
The Lady: Indeed, no! I am
the bride’s mother.”
No man has a right to make
a fool of himself unless he is
without relatives or friends.
Some people won’t like talk
ing movies—too much compe
tition on reading the sub titles.
Automate traffic signals are
hardly a success. They cannot
express an opinion of the driv
er who disregards them.
Bride (after wedding):: “Did
I appear nervous during the
ceremony, Clara?”
Bridesmaid: “A little at first,
dear, but not i^ter George had
said, ’Yes'.”
