TIMES HAVE CHANGED

In grandfather's day the
American family stayed
pretty much in one place.
1t grew up on the old farm.
or lived in the comfortable
farm house. The children
went not more than a mile
to school, and going away
TO college was exceptional.
Travel had not become
general.
But the world has been ex-
tended. Today the typical
American family is scattered
much of the time. Father
hurries back and forth be-
tween cities on business.
Mother has her own interests.
and goes to meetings. con-
ventions, on visits and jaunts.
These modern conditions
are all good. They mean
broader life and better op-
portunities. But they also
bring a certain element Of
anxiety and loneliness, due
to separation. Trains are
delayed. epidemics break out
in schools. rumors and alarms
come flying from many di-
rections. very often ground.
less. yet causing worry and
fear.
The first resource in such
emergencies should be the
long distance telephone.
The family with the best
realization Of the telephone
possibilities enjoys the great
est peace Of mind.

"N0 Pay, No Paper.

In substance that is what Uncle Sans
postal regulations say. In other words,
publisher is only permitted to use the
mails to forward his paper, or other
publication, to bona tde subscribers.
In the event the regulation is violated
the post Office authorities bar the pub
Usher from circulating his publication
at newspaper rates. That would just
about take his living away from him,
wouldn't it?
ng The Government holds that the
subscriber of weekly newspaper who
is twelve months in arrears is not bona
ide subscriber. Then it must be very
clear to all that we cannot grant credit
on subscription for term in excess Of
twelve months. This much we are will
ling to do for any reputable citizen who
is a resident of Bossier or any Of it,
adjoining parishes.
