BABIES = JUST BABIES
with Apologies To Mrs. F, D. R.

I'll CENTRO'S best industry had a most
II successful year during 1882, con-
trasting sharply with reports from other
lines of activity.
Lest the reader wonder what the best
industry is, and what proportion of sue
cess it achieved, we hasten to explain
that we refer to the baby crop, which
showed total of 1873 new arrivals in
this city during the year.
Those who knowingly talk of boy
years and girl years as related to
new arrivals, took quite jolting when
the youngsters finished up in tie, with
ga of each variety showing on the hor-
izon. We insist that the city's total
should in reality be considered more
than 1873, for several, including some
who rant the most about Buy AT Home"
business, did not practice what they
preach, with the result that other COM
munities are counting in on their in
creased population, babies that rightful-
ly belong TO Ell Centre. Something
should be done about this but who can do
it and how?
And anyone who thinks that the babies
don't do their share to end this depres-
sion business, just don't know anything
about the subject. They provide plenty
of business for more than one line of
activity and we might solve this whole
economic situation with more babies
Those who looked here for a compar-
ison of figures between 1892 and prev
ious years, will look in vain. We have
not even made an investigation along
this line for it might possibly be that
even the babies fell down during the year
nobody was sorry to see end. Having
built up fairly good case for them we
are content to let it rest at that
A quite casual survey with those who
claim to know, indicates that the out
look for 1888 is very promising Much
encouragement is derived from the fact
that not even Friday the 18th caused any
slackening In fact the babies ignored
all the old superstitions, even adding
double header to their ranks on the sup
posedly hard luck day.
Admitting that numerous radio aer-
ials indicate progressive city, there is
no better sign of progress, prosperity
and happiness than a long clothesline
out in the back yard, made necessary by
the presence of something that can pro-
duce more static than any radio.
