The reason why advertising pays
IS because it works along certain
well known lines. It attracts atten-
ton, interests, creates desires and
sells. Advertising does this by sug-
costing to the individual how an
article may be useful to him, how
1t is to his advantage to own it.
Once this IS done the customer will
begin to plan for ways and means
to make the article or the mer-
chandise advertised his own.

There is not a town in the United
States that couldn't be better than
1T IS and there is not a town in the

In the trade area of the town traded
at home.
A good town helps the country
round 1T. Most folks these DAYS
would rather have a farm near q
good schools than to have it near
own with good schools than to have
1t near a town that was on the way
out. The way to keep town on
the way up is to trade at home. The
way to start town on the way out
is to send business way from home.

WE'LL TAKE THEIR WORD

WE'LL TAKE IftElR WORD
OF the recent Ohio State Fair an
exhibit of million dollars'S worth
of machinery gave an insight to the
horsepower that is taking the
farms of America where toll is made
lighter by mechanical contraptions
and the Work-horse is put back
in q stall and called "old-timer."
They say 1870 of farmers use trac-
tors compared with 1870 of 20 years
ago. This is prabably true. Down
in the south they hold a convention
of veterinarians and they tell us
that warning country that can t
depend on horses and mules for
supply service is licked before it
starts" This may sound like a
broad statement to Kennewick
readers, but the "vetS" tell us
horses and mules travel ground that
sticks mechanical devices. This is
probably true. We don't want to

THEY KNOW NOT

THEY KNOW NOT
War news is distressing but to
us the increased sadness is the
picture of thousands of children
taken from parents into safety in
the English country, away from
city areas where danger of bomb
ing Is greater. The view is of these
youngsters smiling as they leave,
small gas masks hung over each
shoulder and favorite toy tucked
under an arm. The mother hearts
! nKennewick sigh for the separ-
ated ones but the mother heads say
1t IS sensible to remove children
from city streets destined for de-
struction. Children may smile as
this seems adventure, but grown
ups the world over ask how long
will these children be away from
home.

We note that the family of six
or eight children seems to get along
about as well as the family that has
no children. There is this COM

children, effort is being put forth
for some one else, but in the family
where there are no children the eff
fort Is for self. There is never so
much pleasure in doing things for

Dictators fear nothing more than
a free press. The first thing a die
tator does upon coming into power
is to muzzle the press. This is done
because dictators know that if the
people know the truth they will Dust
the dictators. This is why the press
is not only muzzled but its utter
ances altogether dictated in Ger
many, Russia and Italy.

Baby ducks need the same type

insist upon getting them wet be-
cause of their immediate ancestry.
That's bad. Wetting q duckling Is
often fatal. They aren't made that
way, yet water sprinkled on their
backs will hurry them to an un-
timely end. Small ducks have no
business entering water till they're
6 to 8 weeks old. Previous to that
time their water pan must be very
shallow, just in case.
Baby ducklings eat hard-boiled
eggs and biscuit crumbs. When they
start taking an active interest In
food try one Of the standard duck
mashes. Keep up the boiled egg for
a while though. Green food such as
duck weed or spinach is appreci-
ated and essential. Introduce small

Pups is under the house growing.
He's going to stay there till Casters
over. This yearly business of killing
off a crop of baby ducks and chick
ems is too much. Grown citizens
of the poultry world don't belong
In the house, at least, not in his.
On the other hand, the unnecessary
slaughter gets him down. The sight
of it gives him canine jitters.
Take the baby chick. for instance.
It isn't prize stock or it wouldn't
be sold for Easter. But 1t still needs
a warm place to live until 1t gets
over its baby weaknesses. No doubt
it should have grown out OF the
brooder stage, but the way things
run nowadays it might not be.
Small chickens need a temperature
of 95 degrees to keep their warmth
up to a comfortable level. They
possibly won't stay near the source
of heat and shouldn't. Nevertheless,
it must be easily available to them.
Let them make up their own minds
about the matter
Adequate home conditions may be
furnished by taking shoe box and
poking a couple of holes in it for
egress and ventilation. Add heat
ing system and something to cuddle
up to. A wrapped-up hot-water
bottle is good. Another plan Is use
of light bulb. Whatever method
is selected, knock out the top of

center. That's for cuddling pur-
poses. Just so there's soft, warm

Few Flowers
May Be Sent
This Is a Fine WAY
To Convey Your
Appreciation
By EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: We recently
went to a cocktail party at the
house of my husbands employer.
Mrs. Employer called me and sec
onded her husbands invitation given
to my husband in the office. I had
never met her. It was q very big
party and was not confined to busi-
ness associates. Am supposed now
to pay some sort of party call"
on Mrs. Employer, or ask them to
our house? Neither of these formal
tiles seems the right thing to do
and yet know that some return
should be made for all hospitality.
AnsWer-The very incest thing you
could have done would have been
to send very few fowers-and
mean a few-to your hostess the
next day. The flowers show ap-
probation and rather imply your
inability to make any further re-
turn, whereas leaving card is
nothing except a formality. But
now it is not necessary that you do
anything. If you are giving an after
noon tea and cocktail party and
including any other members of
the office staff, then you of course
send the EMPLOYERS an invitation.
You are, however, under no circum-
stances expected to make up a party
on purpose to return their invita-
ton.
DEAR MRS. POST: A guest In
our house recently disposed of her
cherry pits into her cup-shaped
hand and then onto the side of the
plate. AS this person is some one
whose table manners I have never
questioned I feel that perhaps !
have been doing the wrong thing
all my life and accordingly in.
structing my children incorrectly.
We have always dropped the pits
into the spoon and conveyed them
to the side of the plate Will you
please explain about this.
| Answer-Small pits and seeds
must be eaten quite bare and clean
in the mouth and dropped into the
cupped hand and then into the
plate. In house where no finger
bowls are Immediately served, the
pits of cherries that are eaten with
a spoon, if made clean and dry as
possible in the mouth with the
tongue and teeth) may be dropped
into the spoon with which you are
eating and conveyed to the edge
of the plate. 1t is also perhaps
better to put the pits of pulpy
"clingstone" fruits, which can hardly
be eaten clean, into the spoon in.
stead of the cupped hand. But it
is horrid to see any one spit skins
or pits into a spoon or onto the
plate unless the spoon is held close
against the lips, and the lips are
compressed. The pits of larger
fruits such as prunes. apricots and
peaches never leave the plate in
the first place because you simply
cut around them with your spoon
and leave them on the plate.

Perfume Pins
Charming.
For real lovenness we can't think
Of anything more charming than
the novel pincushion recently intro
duced. The pincushion is of blue
satin, and the hatpins, which may
also be worn as corsage pins or
lapel ornaments. are filled with love-
ly perfume. The top of each pin is
a round globe of perfume sealed
by q colored glass stopper, and each
one contains q different fragrance.
The box itself is pink. with a tur-
quoise satin top. and while the
package is q bit expensive, for a
really outstanding gift this should
make q hit with any of the fair sex.
When you're planning that Sum-
day morning outfit. it might be wise
to take into consideration just the
proper perfume to go with what
ever you may be wearing. Certain
scents, says famous perfumer, e:-

Dorothy Dix Says
1t Is Almost Impossible to Mold
Husband to Your Own Pattern

your husband or not. For, believe
me, lady, you are in q fair way Of
losing him if you put him through
the strenuous course of culture that
you are planning.
BY the time q man is old enough
to marry, his mode of speech, his
manners, his pronunciation, his
habits, his tastes and opinions are
settled. Any wife interferes with
them at her peril. Women who
are more adaptable and who love
change, anyway, can make them
selves over to suit the fashion, or
to meet a new condition in life.
But the average man can no more
do this than q leopard can change
its spots.
Every day we see sylphlike crea-
lures who six months ago were
feather beds. We see women who
never had a second dress to their
backs when they were young become
fashion plates when they marry
money. We meet women who re-
turn from q six-week trip to Eu-
rope with q heavy French accent.
And 1t is q matter of common
knowledge that no women talk 80
much about their family trees, once
they get up q little in the world,
as those who haven't an ancestor to
bless themselves with.
But, except in rare cases, men are
content to stay as they are. If as
children they ate instead of dined,
they continue to hold their forks
as If they were agricultural imple-
ments. If they were brought up to
speak homely idiom, they lapse
into 1t even after q college education.
If they wore one-gallused pants
when they were boys, they seldom
look comfortable in tailormades.
And, no matter how high they climb
in the world, they rarely forget old
friends.
This Is merely to show you how
difficult 1t Is going to be to cut over
your husband to your own little pat
tern, and how almost impossible 1t
is going to be to adorn him with all
the frills and furbelows Of culture.
As for doing it in a tactful way,
that can't be done. There Is no pain
less way Of stabbiug vanity to death.
No way in which you can strip from
a man all Of his pride, his self con-
f1dence, his innocent pleasure in
himself and make him see himself
as = figure Of fun, and like 1t. And,
worst Of all, it is going to hurt him
to find out what you think of him,
that you not only do not love him
and admire him, but that you also
think him an ignoramus and . buf-
foon and are ashamed Of him. The
one thing q man desires more than
anything else in the world Is to think
that he is = hero In his wife,s eyes.
When that dream Is broken for him
there isn't much fun for him In mar
riage.
It never seems to me that q wife
gives her husband . fair deal when
she undertakes to correct al Of his
faults and foibles as soon % she gets
him. DOROTHY DIX.

are perIeCt answers 10 your pIOU-
lem. So II it's attractiveness as
we'll as practicability you want, the
answer seems to lie in the new
items introduced especially for Eas-
ter giving-and receiving.
Memories of our childhood Easter
holidays are certain to bring back
recollections of q fancy basket with
colored Easter eggs nesting In the
unbelievably green grass" And
now, even though you've outgrown
the bunny myth, you are in store
for q great treat. A very famous
cosmetic house suggests that you
give or receive q huge. gayly COL
ored Easter egg which opens to
disclose three bottles OF really fine
perfume. We suggest that for .
really attractive offering you place
the package in . tiny wicker basket
the same kind in miniature that
you used as q child-tie 1t with
wide ribbon and guard it with tiny
chickens or bunnies. Chances are
that even If you're presenting 1t
to an ultra sophisticated lady she'll
get q real thrill out Of such an at
tractive offering.
Tiny hat boxes
Are novel.
Any of our ordinary conveniences
seem to take on new charm when
they are done in miniature. Even
such q prosaic thing as hat box
becomes . real novelty when it Is
only about ~ inches high, and
especially when 1t contains three
bottles Of excellent perfume. The
tiny hat box Is tied on top with a
perky bow and the whole effect is
really charming. Especially nice.
too, is the fact that the bottles are
very good size-not just enough to
tempt you and then disappear!
Speaking of hats Cor hat boxes)
brings to mind the two-in-one idea
now being seen in local shops. This
new item consists of a charming
straw bonnet turned upside down
and filled with bath preparations
consisting of sachet, bath oil, tale,
eau de cologne and bath salts. The
package looks like nothing more
than q flower-and-r ribbon adorned
basket, but after the preparations

Four Good Reasons

Reasons for finishing cabinet
woods are fourfold; to seal the
surface which prevents the absorp-
ton or emission of moisture which
would cause cracking and warping;
to facilitate cleaning; to bring out
the full depth and beauty Of the
grain and figure; to change or equal
ize the color or tone of the wood.
