chapter III

Mrs. Browning. always a colorless
sort, had degenerated after her hus-
bands discharge into a whining one,
with words of self-pity constantly
upon her lips. Ruth made every ex-
cuse for her, and sympathiZed with
her disappointment when day after
day passed and the father and hus-
band reported no luck in finding
work. But it made things hard for
Ruth. Home was anything but rest
full place after her days work at the
office.
There was now a plaintive note in
all the mother said. The mild, tena-
cious optimism of Henry Browning
still lived. That tenacity, that opti-
mism that had caused him to say
he'd pay off the mortgage some day.
And because he was not pressed for
the payment, he had grown sure he
never would be. So he worried not at
all when Ruth wondered il they
would be able to keep a roof over
their heads, simply laughed at her as
he always had done-although now
he was bringing in nothing.
"Pll land something by the time
the interest is due" he had answered
her fears when he first lost his posi-
ton. But as the days passed he said
less about finding work. did less to
hunt for it.
"You won't find work sitting home,
Henry" querulously his wife said.

that no harm would come to her, for

Peter Rabbit could find them. No, he
couldn't believe that any harm was
going to come to Mrs. Grouse and he
said as much to every one who re-

story Sammy Jay had told of how
Mrs. Grouse had been killed and
taken home by Farmer Browns boy
for his dinner
But when one day went by, and
then another and another without
any sign of Mrs. Grouse, and when
Tommy Tit had made several trips
up to Farmer Browns dooryard and
reported that he saw nothing Of Mrs.
Grouse, although he looked every

No husband ought to permit the
mother of his children to make a fool
OF herself. Rather it is his duty TO
demand that sho behave herself like
a dignified matron instead Of like an
unattached little ingenue.
Undoubtedly he should inform the
mother that while she is reforming
her neighbor, her own little sons are
being neglected, perhaps started on
the road to disgrace. obviously, a
mother who cannot see suCh things
for herself may be difficult to con-
vince.
OF course, such wrongs cannot be
set right peaceably. And perhaps no
tempted wife should ever be appealed
to on sentimental grounds but entire
ly on the ground that the woman who
is a mother cannot be permitted 20

GETTING OUR FACTS

II see by the paper" Ever stop to
think how much of our conversation
begins that way? When Mrs. Smith
starts in to debate social affair, a
wedding, a birth or death she starts
in by saying, Il see by the paper,
and when Mr.. Jones starts in to talk
politics or crops or any of the hun
dreds of live topics in which men are
especially interested, he starts out
by saying, Il see by the paper"
But even when you do not say it,
stop and think what large part of
every conversation is based on what
people doing the talking have read in
the paper For what we see in the
paper is the handspring of daily con-
yersation, and it governs a good deal
of our conduct. We have, since child
hood, longed to keep up with the
times" and every sensible man and
woman relies upon the paper to keep
them there.
So let's bring 1t close to home. II
Mountain Home people have learned
to look in the paper for their knowl-
edge of what is going on, they have
also learned to look there for things
that concern them as individuals. |
Who's selling the things they want
to wear and eat, and who's selling /
them at the most reasonable prices?
How do they find out? Simply by
reading the paper. And many
time you have heard them walk up
to the counter and in starting to
make a purchase say, II see by the
paper" Pin them down and ask
how they came to call for certain
brand of anything, and they'll con-
TESS nine times out of ten that they
saw it in the paper.
They expect facts in the paper.
Then isn't it worth while for you,
Mr.. Business Man, to give them what
hey are expecting and what they
will be looking for when they get
he next copy of their paper? If
you will think this thing over you
will recall mighty few people spend
ng money with you who are not

SPEAKING OF KAISER BILL

Two stories concerning the ex
Kaiser are going the rounds of the
press, both of which will be inter
esting to Mountain Home people, as
they are always interested in reading
about the worlds most despised be-
ing.
The first story is to the effect that
the ex-Kaiser is specializing in stocks
and that he is winning. In fact, it
is stated that he has been so sue
cessful his fortune is twice as large
now as it was when he went into
exile. Which goes to show that he
ought to have gambled in stocks and
bonds in the first place, instead of
in the matter of human lives.
The other story is to the effect that
couriers go and come from the Kai-
ser's home regularly, carrying mys-
terious baggage. This baggage is
locked and sealed and the key car
ried by another man than the one
who carries the baggage. The man
with the key reaches the Kaiser's
house one day, and the man with
the baggage the next. Then the man
with the key returns to Berlin, and
the next day the man with the bag
gage joins him. And all Europe is
excited over the story.
1t may excite Europe. But if such |
4 thing was being pulled off over
here in this country we'd merely |
hink somebody was bootlegging.

THE TOWN BAND

We've been in lots of small towns
that supported brass bands, and
we've been in towns that had tried
and failed. And we have invariably
noticed that the town with the band
is the one in which a great spirit of
cooperation exists, and where every
thing in the way of business and so
cial life moves along more pleasantly.
Next to a good newspaper and good
schools there is no better advertise
ment for the small town than good
band. By that we mean one in which
the citizens are interested to the
point that they not only boast of
the band, but they willingly contrib
ute a few dollars each year to its
support. For be it known, that
brass bands, like everything else
worth anything, cost money to main
tain. The men who are willing to
sacrifice their time in meeting for
rehearsals, and who are glad to lend
a hand in helping out such an organ
ization, should not be expected to
also dig down in their jeans for
money to buy instruments and music
and pay director.
We believe if citizens of Mountain
Home will think it over a little they
will share our opinion that a good
band, one that hangs together and
has the support of the whole town,
is about as good an ad as they could |
wish for. We also believe that they !
