Show A 'i'i'i'ic'AL OLD FASHIOXEI) MOTHER i A well known citizen of Delta showed us a paper recently recent-ly containing a note to the effect that an old fashioned mother was invited to speak before a high brow ."Mothers' Club" on Rearing Children ; she said: "I feed 'em good old fashioned food, like bread and milk, mashed potatoes, steak, mush, vegetable soup, and I feed 'em only at meal times. No piecing with me. I wont stand for it. And I don't give them a lot of candy all the time either. I let 'em wade in the mud when they want to. If they don't get up when I call 'em, or try sassin' me, I give 'em a real good lickin', one that teaches respect, and is remembered a long time. When they think they're sick, I dose 'em myself, and hold off the fancy foods a child that's too sick to play is too sick to eat a little rest on the feding is the best cure I've got in my little bag full. If the teacher licks them and they need it, I finish up what the teacher started." "And they really do pretty well," that fine old lady added. But she was never asked to speak again. "Too old fashioned." , . f O 9 ' Some one has mede the statement (which is absolutely true) that all the hand shaking from now to election day put to a good use would milk all the cows in the nation for eighteen solid months. We believe it. It's easy to put up a bluff in a big city, but by garn, in a small town everybody knows the size of your pile, y-' ii ' A good many times a man with one foot in the grave has the other on the gas. |
