full about the welfare of their children
that / expected something better in
their nurseries, but, instead ] found
their little ones immersed in the old
tales of fear, cruelty and wicked step,
mothers. Moreover, these stories were
in the most wonderfully illustrated
books. In choosing the books great
interest had been shown in the artists
who had made the pictures but open
indifference toward the stories"
THAT answers the Why" l ven
tured.
AS yet, few of the best story books
are wonderfully illustrated" and con-
sequently lose the opportunity to cap
ture the Indifferent purchaser. OF
course this Indifference is not in
territorial. Devoted mothers would
shudder at the thought of bringing
harmful playmates into the lives of
their children and yet through the
careless purchase of books they often
introduce their little mes to vicious
company.
The advertising power of the illus
tration is the cause CT much of the
trouble. Here am l." cries the pref
test picture book on the shop counter,
and the purchaser looks no further.
1t is quite likely that this same book
is the usual version of Cinderella, en-
numbered with the odious ~step-mother,
not at all necessary to the plot, but
contributing from n generation to
another to an unwholesome prejudice.

THE LITTLE OIL HOME PAPER

When you're feelin' kind O. lonesome
An the atmosphere is blue;
When life's no bed of roses,
An folks seem down on you,
| know what will make you happy,
An chase away the frown-
Read the little OF newspaper
From your OF home town.
You won't laugh about the triflin'
things
The paper has to say,
For every lines a message
From the oil home far away
Even Sis new chicken coop
Will not provoke a smile,
An the great big city dailies
Lie unopened all the while.
Bills girl has gone to college,
An Joe's boys home from France,
The Ladies' Aid will hold a social,
An the Masons give dance;
So you read the local happenings,
An never miss a line,
An cause they're all your neighbors,
You'll be glad that crops are fine.
Then before you know it
You've read it through and through,
An all the world seems brighter
An life seems good to you.
So for a pill of pleasure
To chase away the frown
Take the little OF newspaper
From your OF home town.
