Our Plan

Is to bring the Wants-to-
Sell and Wants-to-Buy to-
gether. Those wanting a
certain kind of property are
invited to send US a descrip-
tion of the want. We will ad-
vertise these wants at no cost
to the Wants, except in case
of a sale or a tenant secured,
when a commission will be
expected from the owner of
the property. The name of
the party who wants will be
unknown. This is the most
fair and sure method of sat
isfying a prospective buyer.
Also if properties for sale
are listed with us, we will ad-
vertise them, giving special
advertising and effort to sell
to each individual property;
and satisfactory results by
this plan should be sure. We
do not wait for a buyer to
come and ask us to sell him
something; we find and bring
Buyer and Seller together.

WHY CHILDREN TELL FIBs
Imagination Is Stronger Than the In.
teIIeet and Fiction Is as Real to
Them as Fact.

Why do children lie? Edwin s. Pull
Ter in the Mothers Magazine answers
the question by saying that the imagi-
nation of a child is stronger than his
intellect, that fiction is as real 10 Il
child as fact.
"The cure for lies inspired by imagi-
nation" he asserted "is the education
of the chlld's intellect to distinguish
between fact and fancy. AS his error
is mental, not normal, his cure must
be mental. 1t would be grave error
Of training TO attempt to suppress his
imagination rs a cure for his untruths.
Imagination is the handspring which
moves his mentality to growth, hence
it should be directed into rational chan
nels and not curbed
"Only parents who cannot distin-
gulsh between an imaginative untruth
and a real lie punish such infants or
scold them for being wicked. The child
does not recognize any immoral quail
ity in his untruth because there is
none. Therefore he does not see the
Justice of the censure or the whipping
which he has received as punishment.
But he would recognize as helpful his
mothers patient effort to untangle his
Imagination which is so helplessly COM
mingled with facts.
about the age of seven or eight, the
child's mental fog begins to clear and
his mentality develops to the point
where it begins to dominate his imagi-
nation. The unreal becomes more
sharply defined and fancy slowly dis
engages itself from fact. When such
mental development is reached, the
misstatements inspired by imagination
win cease.
"The factor for the prevention and
cure of lying In older children is the
good example of parents. Moral suaslon
is apt to lose It's effectiveness when the
mother sends her daughter to the door
10 tell the caller that mother Is not in,
The parent should be 'on honor in the
matter of truthfulness, as well as the
child. Children are great imitators
Hold up an example of scrupulous ad-
herence to truth and your part Will
have been nobly DONE"

ONLY BUSINESS THAT OF WAR
7Srialans in Every Walk Of Life Have

In Paris one realized ut last the

Few men could show the same vigor

years they had faced high adventure
that most men know, if at all, only in
an annual vacation. To myself and to
others whose life work carries them
into dangers from the elements and
from savage men, war held no absolute
novelty. (The writer is famous

formerly a travelling salesman for wom-
Ems hosiery, Of the stretcher bearer
who was n flOorwalker i'm a depart

met ever conceive that he would be re-

the participants in the war, without
