AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
T.iis newspaper is not connected in any manner with any
stock brokerage firm cr other establishment associated in or
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in
formation relative to local mining development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord with fact.
Breaking the Atom.
For years scientists have
sought to break the atom, a
feat which was recently ac
complished by two British sci
entists, Drs. Cockroft and Wal
ton, at Cambridge University,
according to a London press re
port.
While this does not mean
much to the layman, it is hailed
as one of the most notable sci
entific triumphs of recent
years. Much speculation has
been indulged in respecting
what would happen if the atom
were broken. Some predicted
that a tremendous source of en
ergy would thereby be made
available, while extremists
feared it would cause a world
explosion.
According to Dr. Cockroft.
what really resulted was the
changing of hydrogen atom*
into helium. This did develop
a considerable amount of force,
but apparently nothing to wor
ry about, so far as blowing up
this little planet of ours is con
cerned.
Jobs Needed.
Relief for the unemployed
reached the stupendous figure
of $6,700,000 during the
month of March, 1932, accord
ing to figures made public re
cently. This was twenty times
the cost in 1930.
At this rate of increase it is
easy to forsee the time when
there will be no more funds to
carry on this work of helping
the needy.
Money spent in this way,
while relieving the immediate
needs, will eventually result in
a more terrible situation than
exists at present. What the
nation’s unemployed need is
productive jobs-jobs at the
work of creating the food and
[ clothing which they consume,
i The visible supply of these
things, great as they are at
present, will not last a great
while.

The Restraint of Greed
.... (From the Seattle Star) ....
“Unrestrained greed,” says
Millionaire-Senator J a m e s
Couzens of Michigan, is the
cause of hard times. “Those
actuated by urest rained
greed,” he adds, “share the re
sponsibility.”
“Greed,” we take it, means a
consuming desire to get more
than one’s share, sometimes by
fair means, more often by foul.
It is obvious that a compara
tively few in this nation have
more than their share. They
how great reluctance to part
with any of it —being human.
Most of us are greedy-but
most of us are restrained by
our training, or our common
decency, or by the law, from
hogging much more of the nat
ional wealth than we can use.
ft is sad that humanity should
require rules, backed up by
threats of punishment, to pre
vent a minority from piling up
wealth to the detriment of mill
ions. But it is a fact, and we
'hould face it.
As a nation, we may make
such rules, and enforce them,
for the common good—and we
ought to do it. The idea will
be denounced—by those who
have too much, or their hired
newspapers — as socialistic,
communistic, bolshevistic and a
lot of other things.

Cheap Critics
A noted publicist calls atten
tion to the fact that next to ad
vice, criticism is the cheapes
thing in the world and usee
most freely by the cheapes
| persons. The man who com
| plains the loudest about th<
j shortcomings of the press i:
generally one who borrows hii
1 neighbor’s newspaper, nevei
! advertises and, if he has £
printing job, sends it out o1
town.

Some Consolation!
I
| “Business Week,” notec
mouthpiece for high finance
and Big Business, carries on the
cover of each issue a resume ot
current economic conditions
The cover of the May 18 is
| sue bore a cheering message
j to the world to the following
effect: “Business is so bad it
: it can’t get any worse, so if
j there is any change it is bound
j to be for the better.”
j Wouldn’t that cheer you,
I coming from a spokesman for
j the captains of finance and in
| dustry?

Just for Fun
-o
A big issue in 1928 was farm
I relief. This year it will be ev
! ery body’s relief.
Congressional economy eon
J sists principally in cutting out
j items in the economy bill.
People spend more for candy
than for book?. Thereby taking
fewer chances of being swind
led.
An ominous cloud on the
national horizon is the threat
; that Congress may go back for
; ^summer session.
Our forefathers may have
been a little shy in scientific ec
onomics,but they didn’t pile up
any billion dollar deficits.
Now that the politicians are
loosing their floods of oratory
over the radio, we are glad that
reception is usually poor in H.v
der during the summer.
An Eastern professor adverts
that “stupidity appears to be
almost universal.” But why
did it take a professor to dis
cover that?
Pavo Nurmi, the world- fam
ous sprinter, is to be married.
His bride-to-be caught him be
cause he did not choose to run.

An Irish scientist has invent
ed an electric storage battery

eight hours required for other

erywhere as “Stampede John,”
came cut victorious in a battle
with a big bear he encountered
lad week on the headwaters
of Georgia river, although one
side of his face resembled a
hamburger steak when he re
turned here Sunday morning.
John was working around
the brim of a deep box canyon
with a 50-pound pack on his i
back and an axe in his hand.
As he clambered out of a small
gully, an immense black bear
struck down at him from her
ambushbehindadump of bush
es. The blow glanced down
the right side of his face, clos
ing the eye, tearing his nose op
en and lacerating his face
from eyebrow to ch'.n. Simul
taneously with her attack, ;
John struck blindly with his !
axe and cut a deep gash in the
upper part of her neck, sever
ing some tendons. While he
was capable of ' conscious
thought, John was all riled up.
So he waded into the bear with
his axe and ruined a prefectly
prime hide. i
