ONCE-OVERS
Pert Children

How do your children treat
guests who come to your house?
Because the presence Of
guests may interfere with the
young people in their plans, do
they make this felt by the
visitors?
And do you permit them to
be so impolite?
You like to explain their
rudeness as to be expected OF
youth.
But all children are not i'm
polite.
Some are not naturally cour-
teous and others lack proper
training, but most children will
not do anything to embarraSs
their parents guests.
Too many do not start early
enough to teach courtesy.
Parents have a tendency to
put off certain instruction till
the child is older, when it
should have been started from
the first with little folk.
If your child is Saucy and i'm
pudent, you are to blame.
If required punishment were
administered at the time OF
each offenSe and the child
knew surely that it would Suf-
fer personally from wrong
doing, there would be less crime
today.
The misbehavior Of children
Is an indictment of parents.
Friendships of many years
standing have been broken be-
cause of the selfish disregard
of certain sons and daughters
for the friends of their ~arents.

Too Many Wives
: No man who is married to a

Turkey. He HAS a whole
harem-a1d at one-thousandth

IF the modern girl is not
much of a wife. it is because
she tries to be TOO MANY
wives!
The old-fashioned woman was
content to be a cook, a COM
forter and the mother of q
mans children. Just ONE wife
which Is not enough for any
man.
The modern woman wants to
be ALL a mans wives; his
playmate, soul-mate, and yoke
mate. Which is too much for
any, woman.

rocks the cradle and manipu.
ilates the waffle-iron should
also drive her husband to the

bacon.

brighten his evenings by dane
Ing like a butterfly all night.
She insists on being a mans
working partner downtown and

Calls Attention to

Editor, The Times:
AS a suggestion from q Wash
ington citizen, I believe your
organization could, by means
of exposure, call attention to
the condition of the exterior Of

It surely does not reflect a
clean and beautiful Capital Of

be cleaned?

as such, regardless Of his lack
of intelligence and the fact no
unemployment insurance or sal

MRS. POST NARROWLY
 MISSES HITTING BEAR

Mrs H. H. Post, who left here last night to join her husband in San Francisco where they will make their future home, had the biggest thrill of her many years residence here yesterday afternoon when she narrowly averted running down a brown bear on Glacier Highway. So close did she come, that water, shaken off it's coat by bruin, spat- tered one of her cars front fen ders. ".
 Mrs. Post, with Mrs. J. w. Guck- CT, was returning to town from Point Louisa early afternoon. Near the old Aux Bay cannery a brown bear, medium in size, dashed up from the beach and crossed the highway just ahead of the ma chine. Mrs. Post jammed on the brakes and stopped in time to sec the bear disappearing in the brush.
 Although she has maintained a summer home on the highway for several years and has driven over the road almost daily in that time, this was the first time she had ever seen bear on the route. For a moment, she said, she thought the car must strike him.

CROPS BEST EVER

Ted Lindell of Westby was here
on Saturday afternoon and told us
that his crops this year was ahead of
any crop for many years.
He purchased a farm southwest Of
Westby about two years ago and
while experimenting to find water he
was fortunate enough to dig out q
huge soft water spring in a wide
draw near his house. He is now ir-
rigating a garden of several acres
and intends to enter the market gar
dening game, and this year will call
at Plentywood on Wednesday and Sa-
turday afternoon to dispose Of his
garden peas, string beans and roast
ing ears. And boy, those roasting
ears are going to be fine too. He has
ID acres into corn so there will be
plenty for everyone. He isc not ready
to commence selling yet, but while
here he made arrangements to bring
his car into the Kavon garage and
anyone wanting any corn, peas or
beans can call on him there on the
designated day. He will advertise in
The Herald about these sales, so
watch The Herald want ads.
