/ RESPONSIBILITY RESTS ON
V < / THEIR ELDERS.
"Still a third class of persons seeking
a remedy for the unhappiness of
family life and hoping to end forever
the war in the homes of America
turns on the young of this generation,
condemning them as idle, frivolous,
devoid of purpose, inconsiderate, selfish,
pleasure seeking ahd vain. Such
talk annoys me, not that it may not
be true, but because it nevertheless
is unjust. If there is^anything WTong
in the mannersymorals and outlook .
of the young people of today, responsibility
rests not on them, but on their
elders. The fathers and mothers of ,
the land are the real offenders. We
umvc nvt iiniLfn xne irena 01 xno umes. 1
We here not uprooted the evils which '
?re imperiling our children. When we !
rear end train our children properly, j
instill In their hearts and minds rev- ?
erence for home and parenthood,
aehool them thoroughly in the fight 1
conception of government, religion J
and society, we shall need no longer ,
any court of domestic relations and ,
will not have to bother ourselves
further about uniform lnws of mar
riage and divorce and public boards 1
to examine applicants for marriage '
licenses." (
Thus spokei Mr. Thomas R. Marshal, <
and truer words we have seen from
any one. We do not believe the young '
girls are all going to the devil simply
.because they persist in their right to j
dress comfortable, use all of the paint ]
and powder they please and vote the 1
Democratic ticket?as most of them
do in this State. Like a caged animal
?nut meaning they are aninlals, when
given its freedom it does not know ,
what to do, and so it is with these i
sweet girls, they have come into their
own so suddenly that they just don't
know how to act. We must admit they
do some things we do not approve of,
they seem to think because they are
recognized as man's equal in all
things tticy are perfectly able to take
care of themselves and consequently
do not want an old maiden aunt or
some ether sour somebody parading
around with them as chaperones.
But don't woTk yourself up to a
' frenxv. for these sweet creatures will
get back to normal and we will wonder
bow nicely they managed it.
^-^ADVERTISING AN FXPENSE
I.IKE RENT.
Montgomery Ward, the' great mail
order house, finds its selling cost to
be approximately eight per cent. Local
merchants who complain of the
invasion of the mail order man and I
want the country publisher to fight I
their battles should bear these figures [
in mind. If the local stores would (
spend five per cent of their income
on advertising in their local newspa-'
pers the mail order man would soon
be putjto rout, but we have too many
shopkeepers and too few merchants
'im the small towns. Even today many j
of the local storekeepers have not
realised that advertising is a* recog- [
nixed part of overhead, like rent, light'
and help. The patience of the local (
_ publisher with shopkecoers ?uch a?

men who have the qualifications for big positions. The
main thing they want to- know is: "has he MONEY
SENSE?" That question can only be answered in one
way: by a Pass Book showing REGULAR deposits. The
routirle of the business a man can be taught, but the value
of money he must learn for himself with his own money.
If you haven't yet started TO T&gUlarlv deposit softv
