AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Tnis newspaper is not connected in any manner with any
stock brokerage firm or 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.
Especially the Fourth
The Fourth of July is the an
niversary of the Declaration ot
Independence of these United
States. It is a holiday. The av
erage citizen and his family
look upon it merely as a day in
which to enjoy a “res$,” by mo
tor, with rod and line, golf
club, swimming suit, picnic
basket, or with the noisy and
futile fire-cracker. Owing tc
the limitations of our situation,
we of Hyder pass the day
somewhat differently, but to
most of us it is merely a day
for sport or recreation. Some
of us spend most of the day in
bed.
But, the two facts remain;the
Fourth of July is an important
anniversary; it is a holiday.
How would it be for every
American to combine, for as
little as five minutes, these two
facts; devote part of the holi
day to thoughtful considerat
ion of the anniversary?
Do we commemorate this
Fourth thevfathers who were
the heroes of a magnificent
event; or do we celebrate rath
er the fruits of their efforts?
Would the Fourth be the great
day it is if their efforts had
come to naught, or if the Unit
ed States had become a less im
posing people?
The truth is we celebrate
both; both the fathers who
founded and the wonderful
thing that has grown from that
foundation. In other words,
we are remembering all good
citizens of that day, and since
that day, who have contributed
to the national welfare. Each
Fourth marks a year in which
many useful men and women
have crossed the line; their
memory, too, is enshrined, or
should be, in the celebration.
To bring it nearer home, the
time will come when we, too,
are a part of the past for which
the people of the United States
will exult some Fourth of July.
Does the quality of our citizen
j ship, our service to the nation,
merit that consideration ij Shall
we have contributed anything
at all to warrant our success
ors in perpetuating the occas
ion for anything other thar,
the r.oble foundation?
It is a fair question and a nec
essary one. The duty of citi
zenship is not arduous, a!
though plain. It implies a high
standard of national govern
ment, the choice of men oi
good and steadfast purpose foi
public otfice, the intelligent
and unselfish participation of
| every American in the business
I of government.
A subject well worth giving
' five minutes of your time to.
Swindling the Fat
Due to the feminine craze foi !
| lim figures, thousands of wo j
1 nen are being swindled bj j
; /endorg of alleged fat-reduc
ng pieparations which have
10 value whatsoever. Put uj
n the form of “fat reducing j
: -hewing gum” or “fat reduc-1
ng gum drops,” some of thes- i
cake fat cures are attractive '
but several of them which.hav- j
been analyzed were found t< j
contain nothing- conducive tc I
lenderness, except a drug hav
mg a slight laxative effect.
These reducing remedies art
usually accompanied by in !
'tiuctions to ^gat only half a;
much food as usual, to take
long walks, and be sparing ir
the use of bread and potatoes I
Following these direct ion;
alone would tend to secure the
desired results, without the
chewing gum or gum drops.
Doctors tell us that it isn’t
healthy for fat people to be
slim, anyway. “Be yourself”
is their advice.
Needs Advertising
Arthur Brisbane, noted edit
or, declares in his column in
the big Outside journals that
copper should be selling for at
least 20 cents a pound and
should never sell below that
figure. The reason why it
does is explained thus:
“It would do that,” he says,
“if the people generally knew
the importance and value
copper in construction.
“The people would know it if
the copper men knew how to
ad verlise.”
Just for Fun
“Marriage, says Pete Wilson,
is like a railroad sign: when
you see a pretty girl you stop,
then you look, and after you
are married, you listen.”
A statistical shark has fig
ured that Americans drink 75.

saucers.
Oxford University will allow
; one woman student to foui

Excited Guest: “There are
two rats fighting in my room!”
Hotel Clerk: “Yeah? And
what priced room have you?”
Guest: “One dollar a day.”
Clerk: “Well, what do you
expect for a dollar, a bull
fight?”
We know one newly-wed !
who is assuredly on the road !
to success. Instead of passing j
the cigars to his friends follow
ing the wedding, he passed his
hat.
“He’s got a lot of culture,
hasn’t he?”
“Yes; but it’s all physical.” |
Oren F. says the reason some I
people are stingy is also the
reason why they are rich.
Just remember that it is not a
sign of weakness when you
'draw lavishly upon knowledge
superior to your own.
We note a story of the “Twen
ty pepless college girls,” who
were pepped up by being fed
cod liver oil, that is going the
rounds of the press just now.
All we can say, brethren, is
Look out! It sounds suspicious
ly like somebody is getting
ready to promote a “Cod Liver
Oil Week.”
A Hyder man is figuring on
starting a new line of business,
now that there are some golf
mgs here. We asked for the

is what his ad. copy said:
“Hire a Golf Ball and Drive
