There Is no need for the housewife
ho goes to the market tomorrow
ith her little market basket to wonder
hat she will have for Sunday's din
er la. the way of fruits, vegetables
iv meats. Or, if she has a telephone
in the house she need not sit and fret on
account of the menu for the Sunday
dinner. This Is the time of the season
that the local markets are filled to
the brim with good things to eat and
the variety is all that the epicurean
of modern days could wish. The
prices of these foods are really
moderate and ways and means of get
ing them to the home are very handy'
these days of hurry and bustle. In
he olden days when the Sunday din
ler- was thought of, the man of the
louse shouldered his rifle and took
the woods for a wild turkey or
vent to the stream with a fishing pole,
vhile the good housewife, carrying her
lasket went to the nearby wild black
erry patch to gather the luscious
ruit. But in these days, all is changed.
)ne only needs to step to the telephone

a nearby store and fill the basket

Tell me your troubles.
COME HERE KIDS
and let's have a talk about the
"Fourth." Now this don't concern you
grown-up folks at all, so you needn't
bother reading it, or standing around
listening. When we want to talk with
you, we'll let you know. This talk
isn't about horses, and it isn't about
land, nor it isn't about politics either,
it's just about the Fourth.
So you boys gather-around here and
let's talk about it. what we've done
on Fourths, and what we'll do this'
next Fourth. You know its just a week
from next Wednesday, ten days from
today, not counting today, of course,
count -it yourself and see. Ten days
ain't long, only but It seems long when
you are waiting for the Fourth- or a
circus or Christmas. But when it does
comeyou are glad you watted, and when
it's over you wish you'd waited longer,
because it's so long until another Fourth
comes round. But it don't seem to me
you kids have as good a time nowa
days as we boys used to have on thj
Fourth. Say you ought to have been
here in the good old days when we
used to have celebrations that wore
celebrations.
Ottumwa wasn't as big then as it
is now. There was no South Side, and
there wasn't much West End either,
but there were big doings on the
Fourth just the same.
We counted the days Just as you are
counting them now, 11-9-8-7-6-5-4-3
2-1, at last it was just the night be
fore. We went to bed, but somehow
we were not sleepy. There was so
much fun to talk about. I never saw
a night drag so slow until I finally
went to sleep, and then. I never saw a
night go so quick. Why I hadn't more
than, struck a good doze until "boom"
went the cannon and the "stuff was
off," and the Fourth" was on. From
then on all was hurry up, "Bustle and
confusion," as the story writers say,
although "bustles" were not so com
mon in those times.
The cows had to be milked, our
saddle pontes caught up. We had to
put on our Sunday clothes, and white
shirt with a stiff bosom and pape* col
lar, and Gee! how I hated to wear a
stiff bosom shirt, but on the Fourth
you had to. At last the work was all
done, we had on our best clothes, a
quarter in our pocket for Are crackers,
and off to town we went.. By that time
Pete Ballingall was riding up and
down Main street on a black horse,
with a' big red sash around him,
that is, around Pete, I mean of course,
the parade was forming with the
band in the lead, and off to the cele
bration "rounds all Ottumwa went.
Not in the street cars, mind you, nev
er heard of a street car then, in big
wagons, some spring wagons, migrhty
few buggies, and the biggest crowd on
foot, but everybody having a good
time. Lemonade? Well I should say
yes, tubs full, barrels full, and our
"long suit" was waiting till toward
evening' when they beg&n to holler
"All vou can drink for a nickel." Oh
I can feel my "bpsom" swell yet, when
I think of that lemonade and how we
tried to get full value for our money.
Great times we had then. Lots more
fun than you boys have on the Fourth
now. But I suppose you boys will be
making this same sort of talk thirty1
years from now. Anyhow, lay off to
have all the fun you can on the Fourth.
It's a day to have fun on, not to work.
I don't believe in working on that day.
In fact I never did see exactly why
the signers of the Declaration of Inde
pendence picked on the Fourth to do
their work. They might just as well
have waited one day longer or done It
the day before, and laid oft that day,
but I understand they railroaded the
busines right through and all went to
the celebration in the afternoon. Well,
of course, that was better than not
going at all, but you boys get up early
and make a big day of it. Have a big
time. And say before you go. after
you have had all the fun you cart, and
the Fourth is over, if any of you boys
hear of anybody who knows anybody
who wantB to buy a horse or sell a
horse, or wants a town lot or a farm,
you just give them a "tip" to come to
me, and we'll meet and have another
talk Just before Christmas.
