few customers a day and blames bad
business on the mail-order houses,

situation" but believes that money
spent in advertising is ''wasted"-one
of these recently broke lifelong
rule and ran a lively ad showing
how townsmen could save money by
trading at his store.
He felt real rakish when he saw
the ad in print and then waited for
results.
The results came quickly. And
they caught him unprepared.
A week or so later the newspaper
man asked him how he liked his
thrust into the realm of live adver-
Using.
Didn't like it at all, the storekeep-
er replied.

WATCH THE CHII.D'S TEETH.

er.A recent investigation made by the
United States public health service
in connection with studies of rural
school children shovel that 1913 PEI
cent had defective teeth, Pill per cent
had two or more missing teeth, and
only 1863 per cent had had dental at
tention. Over IA per cent never used
tooth brush, $50 per cent used one
occasionally and only 27.4 per cent
used one daily. Defective teeth re-
duce physical efficiency. Dirty, sup
purating, snaggle-toothed mouths are
responsible for many cases of ,hea It
disease, rheumatism and other chrOn-
ic affections. The children are not
responsible for the neglected state Of
their teeth. The ignorant and care
less parent is to blame for this con-
dition-a condition which hampers
mental and physical growth and puts
permanent handicap on our future
citizens. School teachers can and arc
doing much in intoxicating habits "f

Of the highest accomplishment unless
parents cooperate heartily and con-
tinuously. This is duty which we

LITTLE1TALKS ON THRIFT
By S. w. STRAUS
Prudent american Society FIR Thrift

correspond to the night schools OF
the great cities and are intended to
afford in rural communities addi-
tional educational advantages. The
moonlight schools in Oklahoma
were organized in the summer of
1915 i'll all districts in that state
where such schools were needed.
There were no public or private
funds available to carry on the
work, but volunteers gave time and
energy to the cause. AS result
1913 night schools were organized
in 20 of "a counties. In these
schools $3.50 adults were enrolled
under 21S teachers who volunteered
their services.
1t is significant that in these
moonlight schools there are so
many adults. At Rush Springs,
Oklahoma, for instance, there is
one pupil 76 years old who llas
learned to read and write. Here
We find two-fold bcncht-:1nt
only are the students given edc-
cational value, but they are also
taught i'll tie most effective man

possibly more so. Ii you waste
money you can take hold of YOUR
self and by rigid economy make TIP
some of your wastcfulness. Wasted
money may be regained. but wasted
time is lost forever. You cannot
bring back a single second OF lost
time-no matter how much you
may redouble your efforts. or how
assiduously you may apply your
self, you never can make the sands
of time run upwards.
Abraham Lincoln and Benjamin
Franklin, two Of our greatest apos-
ties of thrift, were keenly apprecia-
tive of the value OF time. Every
school boy is familiar with some of
the axioms bearing on this SUBJ
ject; they all know the commend

Three proposed amendments -

easiest way for the voter to avoid
becoming confused and, possibly,
spelling his ballot, is for him 20

each of the proposed amendments
by running his pencil thru the line
Against Amendment 12," and No. IS

1t is generally conceded by all the
best thinkers that each of these
amendments is needed, and will prove
beneficial. No IL will permit the peo-
pie of each school district to vote
IL mills for school purposes. if they
SO desire: the 12-mill tax cannot be
levied except by vote Of the people.
Amendment No. 10 enlarges the power
of the people under the initiative and
referendum, and prevents the general
assembly repeating or amending an
act initiated by the people, except by
roll call vote with at least three
fourths of all members voting; and
prevents the supreme court setting
aside any measure initiated by the
people except by unanimous vote @.

As to the proposed acts: Thers

The opposition has yet failed to pu
forth any good reason why this &C
