If they cannot do this, the next best thing for them to do is to let the poor men alone--also the children.

Just think of these crazy reformers sending a child that's helping wrap bundles in his father's store, out into the street to learn the things that only the gang of street kids know. "T'he woman that's doing the most reforming in this world is the one that can stay at home and make her husband and her children happy and contented. The individual with a basque waist, a long, full, flopping skirt, flat heels and hat that's come out of the ark doesnot appeal to the public. She is just a blot on the landscape. I think it's a woman's duty to be good looking, and if she can't get it from get it from Dorin.

Where do these reformers get the I idea that the state can look after a child better than its own mother? It's ridiculous! They go around making children think that work's a disgrace and to be avoided until they are grown up. From the time a baby can creep to his box and bring the talcum box to his mother and pick up his own play things he should have his duties. It's not overwork that's hurting our children--it's lack of responsibility. Have you heard of the way: a reformerbotched up things for two girls in a Kansas town? One of these was 16 and naturally domestic. She simply loved housework.

Her sister, who was 14, was the possessor of a business head. She was awful handy at book keeping and adding machines' ADVERTISING RATES so she went to help her father. Here comes the inspector and with a high and mighty hand sent the 14-year-old bookkeeper home to help her mother and the domestically inclined one had to while away her time playing with hateful figures. No reformer--male or female, uses any judgement. They haven't got their feet on the ground and goodness knows where their heads are.

When I think of one of the prominnent members of the species leaving Chicago and coming, out here to reform poor innocent Kansas and leaving Chicago to the wolves--it makes me laugh to say the least. Men who are the happiest in their own homes, who have the happiest wives and the best brought up children, are the men who are permitted to smoke all they want to at home and can put their feet on the parlor chairs when there's no company around. Their wives are more con cerned over their than the odor of tobacco in the parlor curtains. A little sunshine and fresh air will take care of the curtains- but a bigoted, narrow minded, vain, self-satisfied wife 01 mother or a woman who is neither, will take all the sunshine and fresh air out of a man's life. It makes me indignant to hear a woman say, "Such and such a thing can't happen at my house!" How does she get to thinking that the house bought and paid for by her husband is her house? "Last Christmas I wrote an ad for our paper for a pool hall proprietor.

It ran like this--Don't give your husband a camisole for Christmas. Give him a I suppose the proprietor didn't know what it meant but the women did. I'm like Henry George I'm for the men! And when they come to my house they can smoke." -Lois Robinette's interview with Mrs. Ralph Tennal, in the Topeka Capital.

Ever throw your gun over your shoulder on a crisp morning and go afield for furry and feathered game? Wasn't it a great delight to hear the whirr of wings or see a glint of fur between the tangle of the underbrush, to sight along the barrel until you had a line on yourquarry, pres the trigger and -find you hadn't loaded your gun! Every day during 1921, Mr. chant you will be hunting- out gunning for customers. Your ammuni.cion is your stock. Your gun 18 The Times.

You will often "draw cad" on your quarry--a customer. Are you going to forget to load your gun and disappoint yourself? Naturally you want to do a big business in 1921, But the first requirement is to have somebody to do business with. And successful men, those who haveapplied the acid-test, know the only way to have customers is to let folks know what you have for them by persistent and not spasmodic advertising. This is no age to argue: Does advertising pay? It has proved to both big and little stores that it does pay. The man who makes it pay is the man who is big enough to look ahead for better business, instead of keeping in the same rut year after year.

Behind every business that keeps up with the times is an individual who keep ahead of them. The merchant who lets himself believe that Times advertising won't pay him is virtually saying: "My business is big enough. I don't want anymore!" If you want less busiBut this is no time to throw business away. You need it Judicious ad vertising in The Times is the most satisfactory way to get it. Then Marion and Dickinson county folk will migrate to your door as naturally as the birds fly south in winter.

I want others, if old timers will be kind enough to furnish me with their early experiences at or near Tampa.

They are cleaning up she town in good shape, repairing she city well, painting and repairing the band stand, and are preparing tc take action on drainage and construction of side walks. They had a meeting Monday night and among other things instructed the city marshal to arrest all speeders who violate the city laws relating to that subject. So beware, Ignotz, of the speed laws.
