No she dosen't dress all out of style but her mother tells us that it never worries her when the styles change and she has clothes too good to throw away. It's in other ways she's oldfashoned?terribly so. She realy says "Please" and "Thank ^ you" instead of snappier equivalent? that show one is up to date. Her tongue runs on merrily eenough, but ahe stops oddly when her father or her mother speaks, as though they A might say something she cared to hear. ^ When she is asked to go somewhere, she dosen't* answer with a"line" of teasing, but says "Yes" as though she were glad. Sometimes she even say-i "No," instead of malang up her mind f?ll oil tVio nfVior onrlc flftprtt'arH how she took pity on the poor man who asked her. The your? man arriving early is like'y to find her doing dishes and be invited to help. And when she is atarting she dosen't wig-wag to mother, "Don't wait up for me. T* ' Ta!" Her mother already knows ali aoou4 the engagement, but this old fa^.ioned girl comes and kisses her good by and tel's her just when she'll surely be home?and she is. And when she has a good time shr isn't afraid to say "Thank you," ever if it means a little trouble. The hos tess she will not see very soon again receives a delightful little note. An?' the escort who has tried to make her evening pleasant gets the same usury These are a very few things thai make her old-fashoned, but you car see she is. One would think she wouldn't get much attention from upI* to-date youths, biit did you ever see ^ any one refuse gefiuine honey because J it was old-fashoned? K Too Much "Thank You" We honestly believe that in the matter of doing things for a mere "thank you" the weekly newspapers of this country hold the record. We say it with no desire to discriminate, for we believe Ambridge people are no different from those ( to be found elsewhere, but we feel that on reflection they will agree it is true?that for the number of favors rendered no other institution is as poorly paid as the newspaper. The church has a bazaar, the school has a concert, a club brings a paid speaker or musician to town and does so to make money, and yet in almoct ev^ry instance the newspaper is called on to announce the date, boost the attraction, get out the crowd?and then be satisfied with a free ticket. And often very often, the promoters overlook even the free ticket. It is hard for some people to understand that about all a newspaper has to sell is its space, or at least that part of its space not devoted to actual news happenings. If it gives away its space where is it to get money for more white paper, more ink, more type?for type wears out?and for labor, for rent and heat and light and the scores of other things that it is forced to pay out good money for? They wouldn't go to the merchant an 1 say, " We're going to hold a bazaar to make some money; give us some of your goods to sell that right." -Yet they say to the editor, "We're going to hold a bazaar; give us your advertising space, so we can get a crowd that will spend its money." And yei there's no difference. ?Ambridge (fa.) News-Herald. As It Is In South Carolina Just at this* time when cotton is ! selling below the cost of production j and the necessity of buying f&cdstuffs [and clothing and other articles p oi duced and manufactured in other sec j tions of the country is upon us, brings j home very strickingly the truth of the (Statement of a New York man who recently made a visit to South Crro-. lina and wrote back to friends in this state: "The Southern farmer gets up in the morn -.0 at tfie a'ann of a Connecticut clock, buttons his Chicago suspenders to Detroit overalls, washes his face with Cincinnati soap in a Pensylvania pan, sits down to a Grand Rapids table, eats Chicago meat and Indiai^i hominy fried in Kansas lard on a St Louis stove, puts | a New York bridle on a Kentucky mule fed on Iowa corn, plows a farm covered by an Ohio mortgage; when bedtime comes, he reads a chapter from a Bible printed in Boston and says a prayer written in Jerusalem, crawls under a blanket made in NewJersey, to be kept awake by a South Carolina dog, the only home product on the place. Then he wonders why he can't make money in South Carolina.?Exchange. o ;ting .Motherhood. It beats all the new ideas that are coming to us from that newest world, j A ncfmlaaia The p-overnment of the I state 0/ New South Wales has just added a "ministry of motherhood" to its cabinet For the department justj created, an endowment from income taxes has been set aside which, it is expected, will produce $25,000,000 a year. The money will be used to protect mothers in a variety of ways. There will be pensions, of course, which will warm the heart of our own American Judge Henry Neil of Hinsdale, 111., the father of mothers' pensions. Then there will be government paid doctor's who will attend expectant mothers, not as charity but as a mother's righc from her own government. There will be government nurses for maternity cases, especially in t.ie tricts where there are few doctors and fewer nurses. Nor will this free nursing be charity but an act of enlightened government The United States has been mouthing and mawing over this same idea ' for years?the government protection of rural mothers, in calm and in stress?but while we were fooling the time away, Australia was acting ? looking after her five or six millions of citizens while we with our hundred or more million have done practically nothing in a government way to further the welfare of motherhood. We may yet wake up and get busy. We hope so, at least. o The Cash Store A word to our friends: The Cash Store will remain in business at the old stand as advertised 'elsewhere in this paper, and as the V^Ill iswiuxa dc?uii uiau o v ?*MUV i to extend our sincere thanks to all friends and customers who have . favored us with their patronage.
