es into nearly every town and village in the country, the local newspaper in the United States is each year getting on a firmer foundation and be- coming more and more useful to it's home community.
 It may be said that the day of the metropolitan newspaper is at hand. This is true, but it is equally as true that the day of the local newspaper is here too.
 The metropolitan daily with it's worldwide news, it's comic sheets and it's magazine SUD- plements, while of course es- sential in our modern civilizat- ion, cannot take the place of the home newspaper. The very fact that the big city daily must cover a broad field for bids its becoming local in any sense, and it is in the local field where the home news paper dominates and where it finds it's true usefulness.
 For, after all, it is the home news which is most important to most of us. We have the greatest interest in the com munity in which we live, and n the people who are our neighbors and friends. And it is the local newspaper which records the happenings of the folks at home, and in addition fosters the civic pride and progressive spirit of the com munity.

NO FOLD MEMS" CLOTHES.

Tailors say they have ceased making "old mems clothes" for the reason that there are no old men. There has been a decided lengthening of the expectation of life" in recent years, but the men who are old according to the reckoning of birthday anniversaries re- fuse to wear the sort of garb that was once the uniform of the elderly. And it is the men tai attitude illustrated by their independence and enterprise in this respect that is helping to keep them young in body and spirit.
 One of the first outward signs of this refusal to be old was the cutting of the facial foliage, which made even the

Then motoring, golf and other outdoor pastimes made necessary retirement of the stovepipe hat and the Prince Albert" Young men today have no monopoly of sport suits and knickerbockers. Their fathers and grandfathers are frequently just as eager to appear collegiate" And so there are no styles exclusively for the elderly any more. Men, old or young, dress much alike. They express in their attire the spirit of get-there, of being on the move and bringing things to pass. If the youngsters set the sartorial pace, the oldsters will be found not far behind.

PROOF OF THE PUDDING"
 (From Underground)

The assumption has been pre- ponderantly steadfast that mining is an extremely hazard ous investment. Literally, thou sands shudder at the very thought of placing their hard earned money in mining vent ures yet fervently embrace the opportunity to put their sav- ing in a mercantile business or realize what chance they have of getting their money back, to say nothing of profits, when once their money is in these occupations. Bradstreet's com pilations of business successes indicates that in a mercantile business the investor has less than one chance in ten for suc- cess. In manufacturing the odds are almost eight to one against him, while in agricult- ure more than five to one against. In comparison to these slight chances for safety in in- vestment we find MINING with every two out of three ventures successful.
 In actual figures we have the story emphatically demon strated:
 MINING 67% Farming 18% Manufacturing 13% Merchandising 9%
 Another angle to look at the comparative industries, after having so convincingly shatter- ed the illusion as to their safe ty and non-safety, is the meas ure of profit they return. And again we find that mining re- turns a percentage of profit overwhelmingly larger than any other industry. Mining re- turns more than six times the percentage of profit given in- vestors in any other industry.
 Again the figures tell the story:
 MINING 186% Insurance 31% Motors 8% Rails 51a %
 Again we say "the proof of the pudding, etc ="
