THE MODERN BOY
(By Bide Dudley.)
“Lookout there for that shotgun, son! Your’e only
six years old.
You’ve shot your father in the back; be careful or
I’ll scold.
You’ve put some bird shot in my neck, you’ve popped
out grandpa’s eye,
You’re such a careless little poy. I often wonder
why.
A lad who goes about his home and shoots up all his
kin
Deserves a thoro spanking. N ow you quit that—
don’t you grin! J\
The dog is dead; you bumped him off. The cat has
lost one lip.
You stop that foolishness at once, or mamma have
to whip!”
The youngster laughed a spell,
Then loudly he did yell:
I’
CHORUS
“Say, who are you to dictate
To me, I’d like to know?
I need excitement badly,
And things are very slow. '
Don’t think that I’m a bonehead,
Don’t think that I’m a chump,
Ah, here comes dear old grandma!
Let’s see if she can jump!”
VERSE 2.
The mother saw just how things were and had no
more to say;
She merely si&hed next morning when he shot her
ear away. .T
A doctor came to patch her up, and Willie, darling
kid,
Pumped half a dozen buckshot thru his go-to-meet
ing lid.
The family horse was eating May, his face all wreath
ed in smiles,
When Willie let ’er flicker and old Prince ran four
teen miles.

“Whether it is peanuts or pulmotors
automobiles or accident insurance, trac
tors or tickets for tho theatre—adver
tising is the thing needed to circulate
your wares and return you a profit.
But the advertising must bo truthful
advertising if you want permanent suc
cess. ’ ’
The speaker of tho above paragnrph
is a large merchant in an enstern city.
Ho knows that without advertising no
business can prosper. Ho also knows
tiie need for truthfulness in advertising.
Too many merchants are afraid they’ll
make so much noiso the people might
find out they are in business. Printer’s
—great big gobs of it smeared
thick—is tho weapon employed by the
large city stores nnd mail order barons
to get business. Many merchants work
on the theory that evervono knows them
and whore they are situated, while tiie
thing that really draws their patronage
is the attractive magnet of being a live
trading center where one may expect to
find what they want—up-to-dute nnd at
tho right price. Intelligent effort of
any kind reaps it sown reward and ad
vertising is no exception.
