”1 REMEMBER"!
.?, BY THS OLD TIMERS j
I From Mrs. Rudolph Hendrickson
Hegewiscb, Chicago, Illinois: I re
member about 60 years ago we
were a family of nine children. My
father had payday once a week
and the 6 younger children got 5c ,
to buy lunch bags; 6 bags for a
nickel. They contained pink pop
corn, a gum drop or two and a little
prize. We were sure happy for pay
day. And, if we ran an errand and
got two cents, we felt well paid
indeed.
I was third from the oldest and
before going to school had to sweep
7and fix the beds for my two older j
sisters were out working. On Mon
day afternoons, it was scrub the
clothes; on Fridays, do the Ironing
while Mother baked about 12 loaves
of bread in a coal or wood stove,
so as to use the same heat in the
summer. e
After we got older, and had boy
friends, we would take a walk
around on the board walks, some
times he would spend 10c for a bag
of candy, and once in a long while,
take us for a buggy ride. This was
seldom since you had to hire the
horse and buggy.
Father had a horse and a big
wagon and sometimes took us to
visit friends and stay overnight,
though it was only eight miles
away. The wagon had two long
seats on the side and we called it
the “express.”
•From Mrs. Henry Gunderson,
Edgemont, South Dakota: What has
become of the clay piper grand- (
mother used to smoke? And the
small fry would purloin and blow
wonderful bubbles? I remember
one old lady whose grandchildren
would blow bubbles on her woolen
shawl as she sat in her rocking
chaii Sometimes the tobacco and
soap combination wasn’t agreeable,
to grandma, but bubbles were fine.

y Wouldn’t Trade Wife For Million Dollars
r*
Albuquerque, N. 21
Dear Mr. President: -
<
I always say a man should
treat his wife good if she be
haves. But if she doesn’t be
have, I say the husband should
do whatever is necessary to
bring her into line. %
She Hit Hint
When I was married about
three years, my wife took to
slapping me around. One day
she slapped me after I had a
hard day at work. i
I slapped her back so hard I
knocked her fiat. She sat up
and just looked at me for a few
minutes; never said a word. < r
Still Together
I expected to be poisoned in
. the next few weeks, but that
was thirty years ago find we
are still together."
~y .»• 4.
, She Reformed
She is now the finest of
women, and I would not trade
her for a million dollars. But I
would slap her down again If
I she ever slapped me again, and
I she knows it. r" *
So treat them rough, boys,
* when they need it, and they will
<? never leave you, and they will
love you more than ever.
Knowingly yours,
't MIKE HEADMAN
