NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS
INDISPENSABLE

The greatest conveniences in life often prove of exceeding inconvenience = many things considered indispensable being the cause of numberless trials and tribulations. It can, indeed be said of other things than women: "you can't get along without them and you can't
 get along with them"
 Every thoughtful man wants to own his own home and to ac- quire other real estate for reasons known to all. But for other very good reasons some, who may, do not. Possession of unencumbered real estate in- rites many undesirable things; friends in trouble who want to borrow, secure bail or an en- dorsement on a note or bond. Depending on circumstances, of course, the possession of property places the possessor on the Sucker list" of stock salesmen and contribution col lectors. And, outside of Hyder, there are generally taxes to pay.
 And yet, though there be evil seconds in every minute, opti- mists predominate in this life and pessimism is forbidden by popular edict. Life will be at least flair to middlin' as long as it's advantages counter act the disadvantages and 5here remanis some semblance of equality between the agree able and the disagreeable phases of human existence.

or competitors. When they plan to do something as an as sociation or as a community they will always look to him to him to pull something that it just a little off form, and he seldom disappoints them. Nat urelly he is unpopular with his contemporaries and competit- ors, but they are seldom hurt a great deal deal by his unfair ness, for the reason that the public these days is just a lit tie quicker than ever before to spot unfairness and to reason that if a man is unfair in his competition, he will bear close watching in his dealings with customers and clients.
 Taking unfair advantage nev- CT pays permanently.

SHOP EARLY

Santa Claus never waits until the last minute and then scur- ries around and wonders what he vi [ about this or about that.
 You can guess from the stor- es they tell about him, and from the way he looks. that he is the kind who does things when they ought to be done quite a while before the last minute. And with Christmas less than two weeks away, it is we'll to follow old Santy's ex- ample.
Hyder weekly herald., 1927-12-10
NOT WHAT, BUT HOW

Every once in a while these days one is reminded that in 8 little while Christmas will be be here. With the festive day less than two weeks away, the shop windows are com- mencing to show gay displays of toys and gifts and there is vast undercurrent of planning going on that seems to make everyone emanate a sort of restlessness. Not that the plan ming is hard work, even tho one goes at it with all their might and main ;because, as everyone knows, when you do anything to make anyone hap py, it is never hard work and the more patience and skill you you have to employ in doing it, the more fun it is.
 If you were to ask him face to face, we have no doubt that Santa Claus would tell you that a lot of people miss half the fun of Christmas because they forget that it isn't what is given that counts, but how it is given. He doubtless would tell you that what a thing costs or how much it shines, has nothing to do with it. What really counts is how much af- lection and kindness and we'll wishing you put into it. In oth- CT words, it's what you are, more than the gift that counts.

Pat found himself hard up, and without a flake of tobacco in his pouch. Suddenly he es- pied a Scotch friend coming down the street, but recalling the latter's predilections, he accosted the Scot. with what he conceived a highly strateg- ic plan: Might I trouble ye for the loan of a match, San- dy?" he asked.
 Aye" answered the Scotch man, as he rendered a single match.

COURTHOUSE, Arlington County
Va, December 22.-The tension that

as open f1are-ups occurred between op'
posing counsel and finally between
defense counsel and the court itself.
The verbal fireworks reached a eli

Just a few moments before Common

Winter Officially Arrives in Capital
With Snow Held Likely for Christmas

Toward the end of the week, Wealth
err Forecaster Wightman today was
represented as being OF the opinion
there might possibly be a bit OF snow
maybe. On the other hand, 1t may be
rain. AS a matter of fact. Mr.. Wight
man found the meteorological future
so uncertain that he was not at all
sure there would be either rain or
snow. Anyway, there Is a chance OF
snow on Christmas day.
Mr.. Wightman further qualined MS
very qualified announcement by point
ing out that the popular belief that IT
usually SHOWS on Christmas Is all
wrong, fallacious, erroneous and I'M
supported by the facts. For the last
AZ Christmases, he said. 1t has showed
only seven times. and there hasn't
been enough snow on the ground to
make a SNOWFALL with on Christmas
since 1914.
Still, Winter begins at 3:1S o'clock
this afternoon just as 1t always did.
Days, which have been getting shorter
ever since the Summer solstice last
June, will begin getting longer after
today. Today was only 9 hours and
20 minutes long, because the sun
didn't rise until 7:18 am. and set at
4:38 pm. but things will get better
before long and everything will prob.
ably come out all right.
