ALL YOUNGSTER COULD SEE
OF Realism at Early Stage of
His Career.

]. Jefferson Jones, the New York
publisher said to a realistic novelist
the other day:
NO my boy, l can't bring out your
novel, Your novel is realism, and real
ism is what the American public won't
accept. Why? Because realism tells
unpleasant truths.
"Realism is like an enfant terrible

urchn'S pretty mother, The gentle
man had an odd swastika ring on his
finger, and he held out his hand palm
downward to show the ring to the en-
FAINT.
"'What do you see thereY he said.
"The enfant terrible looked coldly at
the back of the gentleman's hand, then
answered:

CHICAGO MOTHERS ARE
WATCHING MOTHERS

Claim Appalling Dangers Are Con-
fronting them in the High schools.
Chicago, March 25.-Mothers OF
Chicago are organizing to put curb
upon their daughters, purely as a
protective measure for the girls
themselves.
Two meetings have been held. and
the north side of the city is already
fairly well organized. Here are some
OF the reforms to be inaugurated at
once:
No more Iow-necked gowns.
No more high French heelg.
No more peekaboo stockings or
waists.
Plain dresses, but no uHifo-ng for
school service.
Rigid restrictions on moonlight
rides and walks.
Strict regulations regarding the
ater and other parties.
Curfew not later than 10 o'clock.
In addition, all mothers are re-
quested to pay closer personal atten-
tion to their daughters. to find who
their associates are, whom they are
meeting, openly or clandestinely,
whether or not they are smoking Gig
arettes, and to supervise their habits
generally.
Leaders of the movement say the
social standards of high schools and
many private institutions are low,
and moral conditions very bad, and
that unless parents cooperate with
their children, TO change things radi-
cally, and at once, there. will be hor-
rible and appalling results.

THRIFT STAMPS
THRIFT

Thrift means for US to save, for
if we save while we are young, it may
come in handy at some time when we
need it.
Thrift not only helps US but it
helps everyone.
Every little stamp you buy helps
the world in many ways.
This money is put to good use by
the United States. Some goes for
the Red Cross; some TO the poor
who are starving from lack of food
and money.
We will not loose this money that
we invest in Thrift or War Saving
Stamps 1t will all come back to US
in the year of ninteen twenty-three.
When there is lack of money in
the United States this money may be
of great help for our State or coun-
try.
Most any one who had money to
spare would let it go for those who
need it.
Let us save our money and invest
in Thrift Stamps.
We love our Country and our coun
try needs our help. Nearly every man,
woman, boy and girl would like to
help their country. This is one way
in which they can help their country
and l am sure they would enjoy it too

orchard. Every morning at seven
o'clock we would go down in a big
truck and come home at six-thirty in
the evening. So we would have to get

to get all our work done.

two dollars with which l bought
eight Thrift Stamps.
