Show ki K i t t CIRCLE t 5 44 we made mada a prophecy some time tima back bach that this would be a year of sensible present giving and it seems that we were a good prophet the large department stores report that n never ever since they have been in business busin have they had a year when customers clamored so long and loudly for or useful presents as this year and the departments carrying aluminum ware w are electrical kitchen appliances ances anees rugs useful articles of clothing and the like were completely sold out the volume of spring shopping ing was practically the same sat tie as tar far as the money involved is concerned but the returns in usefulness and satisfaction will be much larger even in in toys for the children the tendency seems to be to get away iron from purely knick knocks knacks and the useless kind of toy tor and people are giving instead toys of a more lasting and constructive nature we are to beleve that this is one mesut of the war tor for during the war people who gave foolish and useless presents were very severely criticized sometimes sometime s we are inclined to think that the war do much tor for us but it is probably in it intangible things of 0 this thia kind where we are not able to measure the good that we ne receive our greatest benefits too much cannot be said about the dangers of headlights on automobiles abiles A satisfactory headlight is is one thing which science has not been able to discover of 0 f course lights that are dimmed in passing another car are a vast improvement over the glare when they are not dimmed but the dimming depends upon what kind of 0 a man the driver happens to be and it if you travel very much at night in an automobile it take you long to get the impression that most of the people who drive automobiles are not exactly thinking about others besides themselves we read a report the other day abat a gleat deal 0 of work is being bein dons done long the line of illumination tor for night driving g in an effort to reach some means more safe and matistic tory than the present ones and it is certainly to be hoped that tho the investigators vest vesti gators acors meet with success 40 V 40 about two thirds of the country are ard pretty warm under the collar now about the eighteenth amendment and they have all started out en masse to violate it just as often and just as completely as opportunities port unities come their way not only the rabid ones are doing this many a good old soul who two years ago never thought of liquor now has a cellar that smells like a brewery and looks like a combined barrel and jug factory and he talks gilb ly y on the individual merits of hops and malt juniper jun lier oil and raisins 1110 0 you hear prophesies on every side they tell you that this condition ot of affairs cant last they say it will riot not be long until prohibition will he be a thing of the past we agree with the first part of their prophesy it cant last because it will soon tail fail tor for lack of advocates all this unusual energy in ili the brewing line will wear itself out it started in with too big a bang to last long but as far ear as the rest ot of tile the prophecy is concerned we will all find out that prohibition has come to stay and some day all 11 the home brewers will awake to find out that merely the tact fact that they do riot not believe in ili prohibition hibi tion fion is not going to excuse them tor for breaking the law any more mo re than a socialist is excused tor for appropriating his neighbors diamond ring because he be doest believe in private ownership 4 0 following are a few rules to be obber observed ved in the interest and pursuit of better business 1 shun pessimism 2 wear a smile emile 3 help others to t I 1 see the bright

fair and honorable means to get new patrons and spare no efforts to retain the old ones oo 00 a e 0 40 the bible tells us ua to take the mote from our own eye before we trouble ourselves about our neighbors that must be what a lot of 0 people around here aie doing with their home town tor for they surely are picking it to pieces 0 41 0 many opportunities are lost because they go about disguised as hard work 0 s there are a lot of 0 things about keeping a home that would seem to be ba very important but when you get right down to brass tacks they are not amr arrant at all and the things you I 1 avent given a second thought are the ones that decide whether you are going to be a success as a hoe maler A gibat nany many people nave ave always I 1 thought that a good housekeeper was aas a good homemaker but this is 11 not ot tine due in fit the commonly accepted 1 sense for by a good housekeeper we nye usually mean one whose home is spotless without a chair or a garment out of place go mere man is going to feel very happy in in such a place neither is he going to feel happy in a home that is not kept at all but is always dirty and disorderly yet there is a happy medium that some fortunate lort woman manage to find A few cigar ashes on the floor are not going to hurt anyone ll it takes only a 3 few seconds to si sheep beep them up and tucy re not worth getting cross about and

then there is tho the matta matesi of ier ocial appearance dont abo alioe e everything else greet them at night in ili the same dress only more soiled that yau you had on in tho the morning and j with a face fretful and tired M most st I 1 women got get into the habit ot of think j ing that every day they must do just so much work regardless of I 1 their health and happiness or that of their husband and children dont look at it this way stop before you get so tired you are dead to the world your duty lies much more in ill the direction of making yourself agre agreeable eabie to your family in ili mind and body than it does in getting tile the ironing out of 0 the way or the house cleaned from top to bottom of course there are times we all know when some things have to be done but in many homes these are continuous and such homes are not the happy happy ones ee be a good homemaker above all things it if you can be a good housekeeper at the same time well and good but dont let your zeal in the latter crowd out your duty in the former I 1 we like to see any woman behave as a lady in her own home but like her opinion you grant that it is her own however herf sae enters the home ot of another you expect her ito to show that place and her hostess due respect most women think they observe this courtesy but few actually do so and many believe they can do and say rude and catty things and go unnoticed except by the one they wish to scorch they are the thinly veneered vene ered ones and they will say at a dinner table oh yes this is delicious but I 1 did love that desert you made last N eek or even worse but did you e ever eat any of 0 mrs browns S she lie is such a wonderful cook they make the hostess fee teel T that although her dish scorched it ought to be

such people alone it if you want to be happy just as ask k I 1 her to 0 o say what she means or else to talk k to someone who can understand be language 0 aw aw 1 are you hospitable to our school
