PLAIN DEALING AGAIN SCORES.
Shreveport Wholesale Firm to Es-
fablish 4 Warehouse Here.

The residents Of Plain Dealing and
its entire trade territory again have
occasion for congratulations. The
news has come down the line that
Elston, Prince & McDade, wholesale
gr0cers and cotton factors. of Shreve-
port, are to establish and maintain

TONER'S In fact, the place of business
is already open, in the Kelly store
building, with Mr.. Doug" Mcclellan
IN charge of partial stock Of such
staple groceries as will be constantly
carried.
This is a stroke of enterprise on the
part Of the popular city firm, and
should win for it much new trade. The
establishing Of the warehouse here will
mean that our merchants and those of
the outlying country may at any time
at once secure groceries with which to
replenish their stocks, and at the same
| time they may be spared the delays
losses and annoyances that come about

no small item for our town, and ms the
new enterprise adds to its wealth 1t
will also add to its prestige.
With Walker Brothers now having

Ford cars and parts (mentioned in last
weeks issue Of the Ranner) new
bank on the eve of being established,
together with the new big enterprises
that may slip In on us before the
year closes-just as these two have
done-it may follow that the old town
is to experience an Industrial revival
sooner than expected following its late
exceptional reverse. Anyway, there
still remains a lot of push. vim and de-

they are not much prone to look back.
Straight ahead so to speak, has

Little Germ.

II 3
There was once woman who went
to church and left her little boy and
his father at home. So in the even
ing the little boy said to his father,
"What shall I do with my tooth ache,
and his father said, "The only thing
is to get it pulled" But there was no
dentist up in the night, SO the little
boy put a warm cloth around his
head and went to bed. After a little
while the little boy thought something
had happened and there sat the little
Germ on the bedpost.
The little boy asked the Germ where
he came from. The Germ said, "Out
of your tooth, that's why you have
such tooth ache" The boy got angry
and said, II don't want you in my
mouth" The Germ said, "Well, you
ate some candy and some stayed in
your tooth and you never used tooth
brush. kept on growing and grow
ing till am as big as lam. Then the
Germ said, "People catch Germs and
put them in glass box and show the
people what grows in their teeth, il
they do not clean Them" So the little
boy jumped out Of bed, took his tooth
brush and ran down stairs so fast
that the Germ jumped out Of the win
dow and ran away as fast as he could.
He was afraid the boy was going to
kill him sure. But the little boy

A BOYS READING

-HE wisdom Of this newspaper is invoked Dy
a mother to aid her in restraining her l2-
= year-old son from reading everything ne
can Law his hands on This lawless youngster, it
Is gathered, has access to the household library,
which seems to be Of general description, but IN
stead of exercising proper discretion ne sails
into books just as they come, taking them OF all
sizes and thicknesses and titles. This must be
bad for him, his mother thinks, and she wonders
il there isn't some way he can be shunted off into
some sort of literary inclosure where the brow
sing is safer. In her own words, isn't there some
list of "books good for boys" to which she can
introduce him and so lure him from too general
reading while his years remain tender.
Well, ma'am, it's hard to say just how literary
fence can be built around 12-year-ol old boy. It's
been tried, we believe, but the results have not
been entirely satisfactory. If the fence IS too
low that is If it's constructed entirely Of Robin
SON Crusoe," aLittle Men," and other books good
for boys" the boy is pretty sure to jump over It.
If it's too high if it's built solely Of books boy
ought to read, but may not have a present taste
for such as historical tales books Of travel handi-
craft or nature he's likely to pace his prison and
not browse at all.

A TEST FOR PA AND MA !

has been an open season for schools an
school teachers, and every irate parent has fel
free to hunt the schoolmaster or the schoo
mistress who had his child in charge, wheneve
he felt irritated and wanted somebody who woul
meekly accept censure. The schools have bee
blamed for everything that young people do an
for everything they do not do. The principal 0
public school in Toronto sent the following ques
tionnaire to all parents.
One "Do you visit the school to inquire
about your childs progress and department
and to see if you can help the teacher to help
the child {?
Two. Do you encourage your child in re-
spect for teachers and others in authority?
Three. Do you send your child to bed in
time so that he will be rested and fit for
study?
Four. Do you provide plain, nourishing
food and see that your child is up in time to
eat good breakfast?
Five Do you teach your child to read the
papers and find out the best in them, and do
you encourage an interest in public affairs
Six Do you avoid gossip and the telling
of incidents which may be misnterpreted by
your children?
Seven Do you encourage helpful CONVERSE
ton at table?
Eight Do you interest yourself in your
chid's sports and amusements and friend
ships?
Nine. Do you comply with the rules of
public health in your home, and do you keep
in mind the fact that while the school may
do much to instil right principles, your chill
dren are handicapped if you do not support
It by iHstilling obedience and high ideals OF

clean in winter. It is up to you to advertise
