Things About Nyssa’s Shops
We did visit this past week in a
home of a friend, where each penny
must be stretched to the breaking
point in order that growing chil­
drens bodies may be properly nour­
ished and clothed and that the days
of their education be not shortened
but sufficient to prepare them to
take an honorable place in the af­
fairs of men.
And we were minded again how
like running a great business is this
affair of keeping the modern home
and that the woman at its head is
no less an executive than the man­
ager of a bank or factory. For she
must not only spend
the family
monies to the very best advantage
but she must have more than a
working knowledge of all the daily
tasks at the homestead and of what
is best in all manner of materials,
foods, mops, brooms, ice boxes,
stoves, electrical appliances, drugs,
garden tools, rugs, furniture, salve
for Johnny's stone bruise and cold
cream for Susie’s sun bum. All
these and a million more.
She must have the tact of an in­
ternational diplomat to settle inter­
nal disputes and to keep the adol­
escent foot steps in right paths
v/ithout arrousing opposition
by
application of dictatorial powers. To
say nothing of calming John seniors
ire when the noise of his off spring
ta .e on Bedlam porportlons
or
Susie stands too late in the early
morn bidding a fond farewell on the
front door step.
She must scrub and can
and
wash and iron and cook and serve
yet when evening comes freshen up
in a clean frock and be merry and
gay if company comes.
And if she does all these shes
some wife, my man.
But many and many there be
who do all these and more, each
day and think nothing of it. Moth­
ers and wives who run their homes
and manage their families with the
assurance and efficiency of a high
paid executive of a great corpora­
tion, with no other thought nor
renumeration than that of doing
their duty lovingly and well.
Women who train their children
from early infancy to assume their
share of the daily work and to share
the responsibilities of the home.

And happy are those children and
doubly blessed for they will go out
into adult life prepared to meet its
responsibilities with minds already
trained and with characters formed
that neither adversity npr great
honor will undermine them.
And this home in which we visit­
ed was one of these. The wee one
must pick up all the toys and put
them in a place prepared for them,
ere she went to bed, two older chil­
dren took turns at cleaning the din­
ing room and caring for the dishes.
Older ones did heavier tasks and
over all was the mother, directing
teaching, adomonishing and prais­
ing and in that simple home was
love, true happiness and ideals that
will not die and a husband as proud
and far happier than any potentate
or governmental dictator.
But we dislike this word "house
wife” applied to such home makers
as this and wish that there might
be a universal change from it to
"home director" or some other stig­
ma removing appelation from an
honored and honorable profession.
And in the management of the
successful home perhaps no other
one thing goes to made it a success
than the food served there in. Prop­
erly balanced meals, well cooked
and nicely set out. A wholesome
dinner at even tide when the chores
for the day are ended and all can
relax and join in the friendly con­
versation at the long table.
And in the years to come when
the brood has divided up into homes
of their own no wonder it is that
the couple left at home treasure the
memories of these happy hours
above all worldy goods. They are oil
and wine to lonely hearts.
And at Barney Wilson's grocery
store they do have all manner of
fine foods without any fancy price.
And if it be that the home director
at thy homestead do be among
those who are wage earners as well
then twill be a welcomed suggestion
that she try a can of beef cubes in
brown gravy that they do
have
there. Ample there be in each can
for a meal for two or three and
tasty it is as a home cooked pot
roast. But as easy to prepare as a
pot of tea. Just put the can in boil­
ing water for 15 minutes, then open
and serve. "Tis as tasty and as fit
for a king as the juiciest hot dog in
these United States. And served
with a vegetable salad, the making
of which one may ever find fresh
at Barney's vegetable stand and
Some toasted slices of french bread
dripping with melted butter, sure
and the man of the house will be
wanting some again ere the week is
ended.
And that french bread is baked
daily at the McClure brothers bak­
ery and specially wrapped for long
keeping. And it be as tasty with
its thick crunchy crust untoasted as
it be toasted.
And for an evening snack it doest
make a toothsome bit with a glass
of that pure Jersey milk that ist
sold and delivered by the Gate City
Dairy that Herb Fisher does own
and supervise.
We have eaten ice cream in many
lands but none hast compared in
taste with that our grandmother
didst make on Fourth of July In the
freezer large enough to hold a store
for all the family and their o ff­
springs when they didst trek home
on that day to celebrate.
Early in the morning the old feez-
er which didst seem cavernous
enough to house a family was
brought out and scrubbed
and
scalded. Scarcely could the maker
move for the youngsters in the way.
Carefully the cream was measured
and the hot custard made and cool­
ed. The ice brought up to the back
door step and pounded fine with
the flat side of the ax, the salt mixed
in then the welcome sound of the
liquid poured into the shining con­
tainer. And finally the crunch—
crunch as the freezer groaned and
creaked while all took turns at the
handle, Twas a happy time when
the ladle was out and passed around
for all to lick.
Then the lid was put on and the
freezer stood gunnysack covered till
fried chicken and hot biscuits and
gravey had been consumed and the
table cleared again. Then great
bowls of the golden frozen cream
were brought forth. It did have a
flavor such as we have never found
since.
But at the Mellmans ice cream
store on Main at Sixth, just at the
turn of the Hiway they do serve ice
cream and sherbet of superior fla­
vor and texture. Made in the new­
est of electrical freezers right on the
premises. And the counters and
booths are as clean and cool to look

And if it be that thou wouldest

one can purchase still at the Foxes
Service store on the Hiway north of

Were among those who made a
guess on the ice melting from the

store last Saturday Twas fun if one
wast also amoung the losers. But
when thou doest make thy pur­
chases at the Golden Rule thou
canst not be among the losers for at
that emporium they do merchan­
dise only fine wares at fair prices.
And well is it called that “Make It
Right Store". And this week they
do have a fine showing of summer
sheers for summer dresses and at
such fine prices that one cannot
afford to pass them by.
Tis summer time, that time when
feminine daintiness and cleanliness
must be guarded against evil odors
and summer grime and at Omer's
Owyhee Drug store on Main near
Third they do have a new and com­
plete line of deodorants, powders,
creams and sweet scents that
milady may at all times posses that
charm and daintiness which 1st
rightfully hers.
But no matter how fresh and
clean the body and under garments
may be if the dress ist grimy at the
neck and sleeve the whole effect ist
lost and one is reckoned with the
not-so-neats. But at the Main or
Nyssa Cleaners they do have a
cleaning service particularly for
summer things and can care for the
finest of fabrics without danger of
discoloration or damage.
But if the crops be not harvested
and harvested right there will be
naught to use for monies to get all
these lovelies for thee, so if it be
that thy John ist longing for all
that ist newest and latest in com­
bines tote him along to the Nyssa
implement company and introduce
him to those new Oliver combines
they do have on display at such
reasonable prices at that establish­
ment. Sure and he wilt bless thee
for thy forsight and perchance wilt
treat thee to a thirst quencher ere
thou doest wend thy way home
again.
And with summer time comes
slack time and at Mrs. Atkeson's
apparrel shop on Main and Third
they do carry as fine a selection as
one may find in a city store and at
prices far more reasonable. All col­
ors and fabrics they are with shirt
tails in and shirt tails out. Sizes for
the little ones, the in betweens and
for the mother of the brood herself.
And comfortable and cool and easy
to keep clean they are too.
