An Old-Fcshioned Girl
(From the Mi'waukee Journal.)
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

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.
