MOTHER DID YOU BUY ME
SOMETHING

"Mother, did you buy me some
thing?" asked little girl pausing
from play as her mother came up the
front step.
Whether the mother did buy her
five year old daughter something on
that shopping trip is really unimport-
ant. The simple question asked in
dicates however a point that should
be considered in child training. Child
rem are naturally eager and expectant
but parents, and mothers especially,
might well ask themselves the ques-
ton, cam I training my child to ex.
spect too much 2"
We owe it to our children to give
them the necessities and as many of
the comforts as possible. But 'Hbuy
me something" can easily mean a
luxury that is foolish and extrava-
CANT. That this little girl did not ask
is pretty certain indication that she
definitely for any particular thing
did not lack any of the ordinary COM
forts of life. She undoubtedly had
happy birthdays and Christmases.
She had pretty clothes and the aver
age number of toys. But "buy me
something" had vecome a habit - to
be indulged because mother had
been over indulgent! With the best
of intentions parents make a prac-
tice of bringing gifts to their child
rem when they have been away. If
it has been long trip, and the young
sters have been lonely and have had
to exert themselves to maintain GER
tain standards of 'being good" re.
wards are justifiable. But beware
lest rewards degenerate into brides!
Contrast with the child above the
twelve year old girl who rushed in
from school to find her mother still
away shopping. "Isn't mother here
YETI" she asked. "Goodby! Then
can surprise her and have the supper
all ready" Z
If mothers encourage their children

to do little favors for them, especially
surprises, the children will enpoy the

some expensive toy or game. Of
course five year old can't be ex-
pected to prepare a meal. But it IS

be taught to help make the home.
A five year old boy in one family, for
example, has as his special pride,
the task of putting out clean milk
bottles from the kitchen to the
front porch. Simple as such a duty
is, it is meaningful as, a character
builder. .-..- 49,. J 49,. FL
The disagreeable "buy me some
thing" habit is also often INDUCED
when children are taken away from
home. Seldom does the child really
long for any particular thing. Usual
ly, he merely wants entertainment
at that particular moment. If a
mother opens her purse as soon as
her boy points to a peanut stand, his
demands are likely to be endless. The
thoughtful mother who realizes that
hunger may also be reason when
candy is leased for, supplies some
thing from home that is wholesome,
such as crackers or sweet chocolate.
Or perhaps before she starts on an
excursion, she gives the kiddies a last
minute lunch of bread and milk. A
full stomach is not apt to whine, "buy
me something, mother"
One must find out, of course, why
the child makes demand. If the
mother herself unconsciously start
ed the habit, she at once must start
a cure by making a simple but firm
explanation: Mother can't buy you
something every time she goes out
She doesn't buy things for herself
every time; she would be poor if she
spent money whenever she went
where there are things to be bought
She gets only what is needed, except
that once in a long time she buys
you a present" SRI

WILL WAIT FOR r.
FURTHER ACTION
AT TACOMA. WASH.

A statement to the effect that IL
the charges that have been made in
the Tacoma court by Nettie May
MacLean against her husband, Ken
meth r. MacLean, prove to be OF a
substantial nature, that a vigorous
prosecution would be instituted at
this end was made by County At
torney Ralph M. ingalls, when inter-
viewed last evening.
IF there proves to be any basis
of the report made In the suits
that have been filed at Tacoma
against the husband" said Mr.. In
gals, this matter will be taken up
at this end and thoroughly investi-
gated, and q vigorous prosecution
will be pursued. Such a course Is
demanded for the safety of the COM
munity.
1T seems convincing now that
the grand jury used good legal judy
ment when 1t returned a. no bill. bas-
ing its belief upon the supposition
that Mrs. MacLean at the time of
the death of the child was laboring
under such a pressure as not to
know just what transpired."
County Attorney ingalls, said that
he had received telegram yester-
day from the Tacoma authorities
notifying him of the fling Of the
two suits, one for alienation of af-
fections, and the other for divorce.
1t is in the latter suit, Mr.. Ingalls,
said, that the charge that MacLean

DENY RUMOR THAT

CLOSE FOR SUMMER

Milton Q. Dean. local agent for the
Edwards Manufacturing Company. in
statement Sunday declared there was
no basis Of truth in the rumor current
last week that the cotton mills will
close down for the summer or until
better trade conditions warrant Q re-
opening.
The rumor undoubtedly had its
source in the fact that the mills have
been closed since last Wednesday, but
they will open this morning as usual.
Mr.. Dean stated that while the trade
situation is not Of the best and the
market Is not brisk, It will not at presI
ent directly affect the operation Of the
local mills. With the possible excep-
ton Of a week in July, there is no in
dication of a shutdown during the
coming summer.
