POINTS WAY TO
BETTER LIVING
Says Parents Should Throw
Stronger Safeguards
Around Young.
Dear Mr. Citizen: —
Your son is about to be arrested,
convicted and sentenced to serve
a term on the convict gang for a
series of crimes as follows:
Drunkenness, disorder, reck
less racing of automobiles along
the main streets, gambling, more
commonly known as crap shoot
ing, in out-houses, behind stores
and other places where irregu
larity abounds and obscene lan
guage is the tongue spoken.
Your son! Understand? Not
the other fellows—yours, your
boy, the pride of your heart and
the future citizen that shall rep
resent you tomorrow.
That is not all, Mr. Citizen —
your daughter is being spoken of
in whispers. She also must stand
before the judge and plead guilty
to a crime against society, a stain
on our civilization, and have her
name lapping recklessly around
the tongues of our many evil
minded gossipers. Your daugh
ter! mind you, is being dragged
thru the mire and trampled un
derfoot. She is having her true
womanly nature blighted; her
sense of modesty has become
calloused; her purity is stained
and spotted. That beautiful girl
of yours, the future mother of
your generation.
Ah! I see, you are beginning
to catch the significance of this
message. Your son and your
daughter in jail, in disgrace.
Merciful Heavens! No! It
cannot be! Something must be
wrong. Surely not your flesh
and blood is numbered among
to be brought before the bars of
justice. Your son and your
daughters are too good for such
a disgrace to be heaped upon
them. Ah! They all say that.
The gossipers never go to you
with scandal of your own. The
officers wouldn’t go to you with
advice about your son. That’s
your business. What are you
going to do about it? Where does
the trouble lie? Who dragged
your boy into this terrible mess,
and blackened your daughter’s
fair name? Who disgraced your
family and now intends to hasten
the streaks of gray on your tem
ples? No name is too foul for
him you say—“No punishment
too great,’’ Ah! What self-con
demnation! For you did, Mr.
Citizen, you did.
You alone are to blame for
those girls and boys who are
even now being pointed at with
the finger of scorn. They need
a spokesman and I am self ap
* pointed to the task.
Already they are being stoned
before the temple like Mary
Magdelene, and I say unto you,
“He that is without sin among
you, let him first cast a stone.’’
What have you done for the
social life of your town? When
did you last entertain the young
people of Mt. Vernon in your
home? What form of amusement
have you offered them to relieve
the monotony of a hum drum
existence? Answer that, will
you? Your sons and daughters,
your brothers and sister, are on
the streets this instant with a
grouch on, cursing their home
town and vainly searching for
some sort of clean entertainment
until desperation drives them
to recklessness and they accept
the first novelty offered them.
We do not need convictive
measures. We need constructive
ones. Oh! ye generation of vi
pers, hypocrites, dollar-chasers,
turn your attention to these needs
of your children.
You mothers, break the narrow
circle that surrounds you and
take the community into your
motherly care.
Let’s have a reading and a rest
room. Let’s forget our snobbish
ness and all this society bunk,
and be real people for a while.
Give the young people something
worth while to occupy their spare
time.
“An idle brain is the devil’s
workshop.” Respectfully,
D. Lloyd Stoker.
In Memoriam.
On Saturday, September the
twenty-fifth, nineteen hundred
and twenty, God in His Infinite
wisdom sent his death angels to
visit the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Edgar Richardson and took there
from their little daughter, Fronie
Mae, age 5, and little son, Snooks,
age two.
We know, dear parents, ’tis
oh, so bitter to part with your
darlings, but ’tis the hand of our
all wise God, who knows where
and when to pluck the fairest
flower of the field, and it should
be a boundless consolation to
know that your heart’s treasure
has gone before you to take the
place prepared for it in the
realms of the great beyond,
where no sorrows ever cometh
and no tears ever moisten the eye.
Your babes are gone beyond
that river. There to dwell in
peace and love, where their hap
py hearts will quiver with the
sweet melodies of love.
They have reached that lovely
city, where the streets are paved
with gold, where the heart sobs
not in pity, where eternal love is
told. Think not that they are
gone forever. They are only
sleeping here. They are waiting
for you ever, They are waiting
for you there.
There where wounded hearts
are healed, There where treas
ures are in store. There where
love is ever pleaded, There where
sorrows come no more.
So, be still sad hearts, and
cease repining. For behind this
cloud is the sun still shining.
Thy fate is common fate of all,
For into each life some rain must
fall.
Two precious ones from us is
gone, The voices we loved are
still. Two places are vacant in a
home that never can be filled.
A Friend.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
The Ford Coupe is essentially the motor car for physicians every
day of the year because of its up-to-dateness in every detail —large
sliding windows, it is a breezy open car in fine weather and in rainy,
stormy, cold weather it is closed —dust-proof and water-proof —with
broad seat heavily upholstered, it is a most comfortable car. Equipped
with electric starting and lighting system and demountable rims with
3H-inch tires, and carrying all Ford merits in economy, in operation
and upkeep. Not only ideal for physicians but for salesmen, real
estate men and everyone who
g. -v .. ( I / i. wants a dependable two-seated car.
Won’t you come in and look over
the Ford Coupe?
