The Open Column
FayOrs the Lemonade Stands.

Editor the Missourian: "Hey, Mis-
ter, you're on the wrong side of the
street" yelled the soda fountain boy
from his stand beside the sidewalk.
We'll. can you suggest any rem
edy?" asked the busy business man
who was hurrying home to his lunch.
Sure, I'll bring some pop across
the street to you, if you want some,' -
was the quick reply.
Maybe the American youths are
fast losing their manners, but on the
other hand they are learning a great
deal of business sense. At any other
time this young business man might
have been tempted TO make some
cute" reply, but since his eye was
on making a sale he concluded to be
diplomatic and polite. instead
There are a great number of these
lemonade stands around town inviting
the tired pedestrian to stop and have
a drink. while the merchant talks to
him, for they are all world-wise phil
oSophers and will do their best to en-
tertain anyone who will take the time
to listen
It's one of the numerous devices on
the part of the mothers to keep the
boy busy and around home during va
cation days when the "wanderlust"
gets into his blood. and meanwhile
he's learning a little business wisdom
and diplomacy as well, so here's hop
ing that they all make running ex-
penses this summer, anyway.
