THE DAILY TIDINGS ED ESTABLISHED IN 1876 ASH LAN D D A IL Y T ID IN C S OUT OUR WAY W illiam s sputter • _ What Price Flowers -j--------------- ---------— ------------ - For years and years there has been a certain enchantment that has filled the hearts of the chil- I dren each time, that they have soon pretty flowers ’ in bloom. • Seemingly that enchantment takes the .“ form of a mental reaction to acquire, and usually J when night has brot forth the darkness, the pretty • flowers disappear as if by magic. There most • be an excuse, or at least some reason for children • appropriating flowers that do not belong to them, i and the only reason that the writer can figure ovt, there in Ashland is, that it mast be the resultant effect of the wonderful ozone of the Li thia Oity. J To be sure it is discouraging to people who try J to cultivate their flower gardens, and spend hours ; and hours as well as many dollars in beautifying J their yards, in order to have the home surroundings ! more pleasant. Cliildren do not take the flowers with the .-idea of the flower “ habit” alone, but there is a ! certain idea of stealing, something that leads them I to commit the act. Flowers are attractive, and J naturally anything that is attractive creates a 4e- ; sire in the mind of the child to possess, for the ; reason that it belongs to some one else. After «the • flowers are stolen the glamor of thfeir beauty has - vanished and it resolves itself into a misdemeanor, • or simply a harmless prank in the mind of the'per- ■ son who has appropriated them. N o t. only are • children to blame, when flowers are taken under the 1 cover of night, but now and then it is surmised that ^ others beside mere children take, a tuli,p or other I flower so do not paint the childem black from the ’ pot of abuse, in all cases. ~ • <- i&tealing of flowers leads to the stealing of other ; things of value, in the case Where children, have • absolutely taken them with malice aforethot, and • where the action was premeditated.

Flower stealing however, is just one of the many petty offenses committed by children, and In cases where it is definitely known that certain chil­ dren have destroyed flower», measures, in the form of a hiekoPy limb are applied by the mother, who understands what path the child may be kept from. Do, not condemn the children too severely, foi what would the world he without them!
