SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT
A man who was one time
president of the United States,
and whcf knew how to use the
English language far bettei
than do most people, gave us
something to think about when
he said, “I would rather be de
feated in a cause that shall
finally triumph than triumph
in a cause that shall finally be
defeated.”

HUGE VOLUME OF
MODERN BUSINESS
The United States Steel Cor
poration does nearly a billion
and a half of business in a
year; the Standard Oil Com
pany is a close second, with
considerably over a billion,
the General Motors Corporat
ion is third with about three J
quarters of a billion dollar'
business; the Pennsylvania;
Railroad Corporation is slight- j
ly less than the General Mot-'
ors. The net profits of the
Standard Oil Co. last year
were over $111,000,000. The
Pullman Company made net
profits of $15,771,967 last
year.

LEGITIMATE MINING
SOUND INDUSTRY
The great mineral veins
cutting deep in the mountains
of the west are stupendous
producers of new wealth.
The discovery of one of these
wealth producers by a mining
company, with its sharehold
ers scattered from coast' to
coast, means the wide dis
tribution of new wealth. Com
panies are formed to develop J
these veins. Investors buy
shares from these companies,
so that the companies will
have the funds necessary to
carry out the development
plans, says the Georgetown
Colorado), Courier.
The men who know the min
ng business best are the buy
ers of mining shares.
It is reported that a large
Canadian mining company has
ust invested its surplus in the
hares of other mining com
panies. Evidently it is in favoi
of spreading its field of op
eration. It is not putting all
its eggs in one basket.
Shares in legitimate mining
companies are real invest
ments, and in addition, often
afford sensational profits ana
dividends.

WONDERFUL METAL
Platinum is said to be so due
ile that a cubic inch of the
metal could bj* converted- into
50,000 miles of platinum wire,
mough to go around the worla
•.wice at the equator. The pres
ent price of the metal is
around $117 per ounce. Owing
to the depletion of the Ural
nountain deposits, which how
rver, still continue to be the
principal source of supply, at
ention is being direetd to the
Transvaal and Colombia,
which are said to be the like
liest sources for future supply

GREATNESS.
“Self-made” is “self-reliant”
grown up. Confidence is the
father of achievement while
independence and initiative
’re achievement’s hand maid
ens. Never was a self made
man made by reliance on otn
>rs, by outside influence 01
good luck.
It was making the most of his
nvn resources that took Lin
coln from rail splitting to the
white house; “pull” did not
raise Carnegie from stoke-bo>
in an iron furnace to buildei
of the greatest steel industry
in the world; Thomas Edison
did ont become the greatest in
ventor of all time by patiently
waiting for the invention of
others; Henry Ford is not the
nation’s wealthiest manufact
urer because he waited for oth- i
ers to experiment with the low
priced automobile, and Colum
bus did not tarry in the courts
of Europe until others set sail
for the lands beyond that I
western horizon.
Every man; is the creator 01
his own destiny .He is provid
ed with certain physical tal
ents at birth, environment may
add or detract from those tal
ents during the period of ad
olescence, but once out in the.
world it is “every man for him- i
self.” Self reliance is the ever- ,
available and omnipotent
weapon of life while reliance
on others is life’s shackles.
Great achievements come j
, rom great minds, great minds'
m great thoughts, and
great thoughts from a true re
spect for one’s own ability.
Just for Fun
The goovd looker is a good |
finder.
Whether Methuselah actual-1
ly reached the age of 969
years, it seems not to be dis
puted that he is dead now.
Holger—“Tut--Ankh--Amen’s
:offin was made of mahogany
three thousand years ago.” ,
Ben—“So, that old boy vva*.
aged in the wood.”
Fable: Once upon a time a
man, when he got a raise in
salary, kept his expenses ai
the same old level and saved
the difference.
Col. Stivers says if a man
built a better mousetrap than
he rest, the chances are
that some mousetrap company
would give him one thousana
dollars for the full patent j
rights and then he could go
back to the woods and beat
his own path.

Second Charlady:—“Why,
them’s what they call itchings,
dearie.”
Dave Allan says he once
knew a chap who was so eco
nomical that he hid a pair of
socks in the pocket of his
pajamas to cut down his laun
dry bill.
Overheard in the Townsite:— 1
“For the last time, I ask you
for that $12.50.”
“Thank heavens, that’s over

Eddie Haddon opines {hat

Judging by the way sortie
people hang on to their money
all their life, Pete Wilsou

A woman went to buy some
cigars for her husband, who
was laid up.
“Do you want them mild oi ;

he had broke in his pocket.”
“I had to be away from

“Who from?”
“Your father.”
“He ain’t no good at makin’
excuses, Ma catches him every
time.’
“When does the five-fifteen \
leave,”
“Quarter past five.”
‘Thank you. I get all mixed
up on the change of time.”
Girls, when you spill powder
on your friend’s tux, and he
smiles, don’t think he’s an op- \
timist. He has undoubtedly
rented the suit.
Mother:—“Has George pro
posed yet Emily?”
Emily:—“No, ma,’ but did I
the next thing to it last even- 1
ing.”
Mother:—“What did he do?”
Emily:—“He asked me if 1
thought paregoric injurious
to teething babies.”
Johnny:—“I’m a chip off the
old block, ain’t I papa?’’
Papa:—“Yes, my son.”
Johnny:—“Then as you are
the head of the family, you
must be a blockhead, pa.”
Little Boy:—“When are you
going to the carpenter shop to
be fixed?”
Poet:—“Carpenter shop?”
Little Boy:—“Yes; I heard
pa tell ma that you had a
screw loose about you some
where.”
The clock struck eight, nine
and then nine-thirty. Still the
new maid did not get up. Re
luctantly the mistress went to
the foot of the stairs.
“Mary,” she called, “are you
awake?”
“Yes,” answered the maid.
“Why?”
THE RESTLESS DOLLAR
It looked right round ana
shiny,
This silver back so gay,
We coaxed it to our home
stead,
Just hoping it would stay.
We tried to make it welcome
And feel itself at home,
But I guess’t was kinda lone
some
And wanted for to roam.
We’re just as kind as we ca/.
be
To the bucks that come our
way,
Yet somehow we can’t keep
them,
They sorta drift away.
Some day we hope to find one,
A buck that wants to stay
And live with us forever,
Forever and a day.
“At last we’r out of debt.”
“Oh, goody! Now I can get
; credit again!”
I Ignorance of the law is no ex
' cuse-unless you can afford to
hire a good lawyer.
Lady:—“You say your father
was injured in an explosion,
How did it happen?”
Child:—“Well, mother says
it was too much* yeast, but
father says it was too littie
sugar.”
