AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
We would like to see any
one—man, boy or woman—
who has ever made a success
cf his business career by lim
iting his working hours to
eight lours a day with a half
a day off on Saturday. We
have been iookiug for this un
known party for a long time.
We have heard it rumored
that ha is in existence, and al
though we have looked long
and eagerly for his apprehen
sion, we haven’t as yet been
able to find the guilty party.
-o
A good many newspapers
and neriodicals that harp on
what they characterize as
“the failure of prohibition’’
were among the outspoken op
ponents of prohibition in the
days when the corner saloon
flour! died and the American
brewery was a going concern.
Those papers, or many of
them, have wanted prohibit
ion to fail. And the reflect
ion is inevitable that of the
press of the country had given
cordial support to the prohib
ition act—if it had upheld
nroh:b:t’on because it was the
law of the land and not sneer
ed at because the laws them
celveu did not meet with the
editorial approval there would
be a different order of things
in the country today. The pro
hibition law is entitled to re
spect because the citizen owes
that duty to his government
and society, and he owe? it in i
the matter of every law.
Thore he thinks he has the
right to violate as well as
t>v^e he contends the other
fellow should inspect.
It is hard for us to decide!
whether Dr. Frank Crane's
statement that “The beat
things in life come unexpect
ed upon you,’’ or the old negro
preacher’s philosophy, “Bless- j
ed is he that seeketh nothing, ‘
for he shall not be disappoint
ed,” is more nearly correct
Most of us practice the old
negro’s preachment, but would
be jrlad to know that Dr,
Crane's philosophy may yet
prove true in our lives.
The real enemies of the
courts in this country are not
anarchists. The real enemies
are the technicalities of pro
ceedure that makes a law-suit
a sporting event between op
posing attorneys instead of an
enterprise to see that justice
is done.
Those Indians who visited
Prsident Coolidge probably
desired to indulge in a stoicism
match with the big white
chief.
The Detroit driver who was
fined because he could not
spell “stop” was not so much
worse than a lot of drivers
who may be able to spell it but
have no idea what it means.

About all a suggestive movie
title suggests is that Barnum
was right.
---—o
We all make trouble and
then wonder why we have it.
Robbers of a Michigan music
store stole all the classical
phonograph records and left
the jazz alone. They were
taking no chances of forming
bad habits.
-o--.—
The chances are, that if you
were in sombody else’s shoes,
they would hurt
The movie stars who figured
in a double wedding will have
a real press story if they also
make it a double divorce.
Just For Fun
Keeping a daughter in
cjothes isn’t always a finan
cial problem, alone, according
to the Blueberry Kid.
Crime is increasing so fajat
in Chicago they should hang
out a service flag when some
member of the family goee
down.
It’s getting so nowadays that
when a couple applies for a
marriage license they take a
90 day option on a divorce
action.
One redeeming feature of
the old fashioned) bucket
shops is that they never call
ed them shoppers.
Oren F. says the summer
fur has been explained. Es-'
kimos wear them to keep off
the mosquitoes.
A dumb waiter is the bimbo
who asks a girl for a kiss and
waits for her to say yes, says
Earl.
The men who are alwaya
telling you that they run
things around their houses,
evidently mean the washing
machine, chum, etc.~
In the spring when sap is ris
ing
To the branches high above
Then, my friends, an old
man’s fancy
Lightly turns to thoughts of
love:
I will gamble ail my wagep,
A dollar to a dime,
That a young man’s bloom
ng fancy
Is on love most all the time.
“Why are you smiling?’’
“Ive just come from the
dentist.”
“Is that anything to smile
about?”
“Yes-he wasn’t in.”.
A man is a true American if
he agrees with you.
When a man says he knew
•rou would be reasonable he
means he knew you would be
a sucker.
About the only known book
that is certain to hold your
interest is "Savings account.”
An agricultural writer says
one of the best friends the
farmer has is the bumble bee.
Yes, and it’s a good friend
not to get too thick with.
Nearly two million bushels
of onions were imported last
year, but love conquers all.
Cross word puzzles are
dangerous. A couple stayed up
together all night trying to
work one, and then had to
get married.
The lecturer had been de
scribing some of the sights he
had seen abroad.
"Thre are some spectacles,”
he said, that one never for
gets.”
"I wish you would tell me
where I can get a pair,” ex
claimed an old lady in the
audience. "I am always for
getting mine.”
I may be down but I’m not
cut, as the shirt said to the
underwear.
Fable: She had wonderful
teeth and didn’t assume a
wide smile for a snap shot
Doctors are in doubt as to
whether Jack Dempsey’s noise,
made over in a beauty treat*
nent, will stand punishment
Elis new wife is about the
>nly one who can safely make
in experiment
rip.
