AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
The United States pays its
crooks three billion dollars a
year. Of these vast wages to
dishonesty two-thirds is paid
by the public voluntarily for
wo-thless, “get rich quick”
schemes. The remaining one
bullion i3 taken forcibly from
the public by embezzlers, ban
dits and thieves and through
cr dit frauds.
Statistics on the losses thru
credit frauds afford a tribute
to the honesty of the borrow
b’-' pn’ pa in the United States,
the greatest credit nation in
tbs world. The losses where
borrowers fraudulently fail to
repay their loans approximate
only $400,000,000. America’s
credit business extends into
the b Lions annually. The rel
ative lr low credit loss ac
counts for the credit basis for
the nation’s business.

Hyder is just what you make
it. If you don’t like the town,
you will probably find that the
town doesn’t like you. But if
you have the right attitude,
then you will find the com
munity friendly. It is a mirror
in which you will find a re
flection of your own disposit
ion.

The business of the Church
is the greatest and most im
portant in the world. Every
other successful uses the press
to carry the news of their en
terprise and service to the
peo* lj and they are success
ful because of press publicity.
The business and service of the
church travels slowly because
we still use the antiquated
methods of publicity.
Chinese, Japanese, Moham
medans in the deserts of Afri
ca, ride to their places of wor
ship in Ford cars, but millions
of "them have never heard of
Jesus Christ and his wonder
ful plan of salvation. If adver
tising carries the products of
the manufacturer to all the
corners of the world, this med
ium should be used* in carrying
the message of Jesus Christ to
the people.
The press, as a whole, is al
ways ready to co-operate with
the churehes in the matter of
publicity. It is certain, that I
there is no medium more ef
fective in reaching the. people i
than the newspapers. If all the '
churches would recognize this;
fact and avail themselves of;
the aid of this powerful agent!
the work of carrying its mess-i
age to all the world would be
completed in a much shorter
time.
-o
Why not get the Supreme
Court to settle this controversy
about evolution? If five of the
judges decided against evolut- j
ion- as they probably would if j
the matter came before them j
-it would become unconstitut-1
ional to have any more mis
understandings about it.
About the only way to keep j
daughter from crossing her J
knees is to make her wear cot
ton stockings.
The high price of leather is!
becoming evident in calfe |
steaks.

The girl who depends upon !
her voice to get her in the j
chorus will soon find that she j
hasn’t a leg to stand on.

The bloom of youth in that;
schoolgirl complexion never
ran back over the ears and up
above the eyebrows.

You can’t always fix the stat
us of people by appearances.
For instance, the folks who
moved in next door may have
no car, no radio, no piano or
talking machine, and they may
not wear swell clojthe|?—but
they may have a bank account.

There are some girls who say
they don’t believe in showing
;oo much of their Silk stock
ings. And there are some catty
one’s who say they Wouldn’t
sither if the tops were cotton. J
Just For Fun
_.
The Blueberry Kid says the
reason so many burglars get
caught is that they cannot hold
conventions and study the
latest methods.
An Eskimo truck driver in a
Northwestern Alaska town re
cently rendered a bill to a
customer thus:
jlO goes, 10 comes at 50 cents
a went, $5.
I “Thank you so much for the
present, Auntie.”
“Don’t mention it my dear; it
was nothing much at all.”
“Well, I didn’t think so either,
but mama said I should be
sure and thank you anyway.”
I Paddy says a girl in knickers
is like an inebriate in church
—too full in the wrong place.
j A certain young married man
| came out of an uptown store
the other day, paused on the
| sidewalk for a moment and
then remarked softly to the
I four winds:
j “God bless sales-ladies who
can keep a man from feeling
embarassed when he is shop
ping for his wife.”
He was plainly a hayseed.
“Be this the Woman’s Ex
change?” he asked.
“Yes.” the lady attendant
answered.
“Be you the woman?” was
the next query.
“Yes, the attendant replied.
“Well, I thought—’’the farm
er began, then hurriedly add
ed “but I gues3 I’ll keep Mag
gie.”
“We borrowed our numerals
from the Arabs, our calendar
from the Romans and our
banking from the Italians,”
said the teacher, “Can any one
think of any other examples?”
To which a Hyder hopeful
replied:
“Our snow shovel from
Smith’s, our baby carriage
from the Joneses and our
wringer from Mrs. Johnson.
But those weren’t the names
he gave.
“Sir, How dare you address
me!” shrilled the bob-haired
girl, with an angry stare;
“Oh, that’s all right” said the
nervy youth, “I don’t know
you either, but I don’t care.”
A certain little girl of Hyder
manages to earn a dollar or
two a week running errands
and doing other light tasks for
the neighbors but she usually
spends nearly all the money
the day it is received. A lady
who had noticed this propens
ity, inquired how much she
earned a day and was inform
that the average was about
thirty cents:
“And don’t you save any of
it?” she asked.
“Yes, some,” the little miss
replied.
“How much have you sav
ed?” was the next query.
“Oh, about three dollars,”
was the answer.
“But, why don’t you save
more?” the lady inquired, add
ing,
“Why don’t you save ten dol
lars? Just think what a good
time you can have when you
go to Seattle.”
The little girl looked reflect
ive for a moment before an
swering; “Yes, that’s so, but
gee! look at all the fun I can
have in Hyder for ten cents.”
