BABV TALK
Dr. Walter B. Swift of Chicago says that babies
should speak perfect English when they are six
months old and has started a school to prove his as-
sertion. I'd like to rise and ask the doctor what
will be accomplished by having babies talk when 6
months old Why should he want to eliminate the
"goo goos" and "skiaiakkees kees" and all the
other phrases that make babies so irresistibly at-
tractive? . The young mother works for weeks to teach her
child to say "Da-da" and when she finally succeeds
the father begins to find a new interest in life and
struts around like a pouter pigeon and when any.
body comes in what pleasure what joy what en-
thusiasm is manifested over showing off the baby's
precocity.
Baby's first tooth baby's first word baby's first
step these are the things dear to a mother. If left
to a vote of mothers I venture that not one. out of-
ten thousand would want baby to talk at 6 months
any more than they would want baby to come into
the world with a full set of teeth and a pair of legs
like a Marathon runner.
Let baby be natural that's what makes him
or her attractive.
The Store With the Home
Atmosphere
You like to visit the host-
ess who makes you feel at
home. In a like manner
the home-like hotel at-
tracts the most travelers.
It's just the same with a
store Customers prefer
the one which very care-
fully considers the com-
forts and conveniences of
its patrons so that they
may feel just as much at-
home while shopping as
they would at their own
fireside. It is our aim to
make this such a store
and suggestions from our
patrons are always welcome.
QUALITY
There are different de-
grees of quality; on dif-
ferent instances it "means
different things. It is
relative and should al-
'ways be in keeping with
the uses and purposes of
the merchandise. This
store has maintained a
reputation for consistent
quality the sense that
the goods offered possess
the most desirable fea-
tures and elements for
the purpose for which
they are chosen.
TO THE VOTEKS
OF BARTLETT.
In response to tho urgent re-
quest of n number of my friends
who met at my office last Wed-
nesday evening I consented to
become a candidate for Mayor
of the city of Bartlett.
I fully appreciate lho fact
that if elected Mayor that tho
position will not be very easily
tilled especially as tho retiring
Mayor Mr. Stanton Allen has
filled the offico so efficiently
but if the citizens of Bartlett
see fit to elect mo as their May-
or I will give them the best busi
ncss administration tthat
know how to give.
Yours Very Truly;
E. M. WILSON?
