m «*. KOTHERS' DAY ■» •»
Written for Mothers' l>«> Kxerrises in the Bush I'rairie
Sun<hty Srlnml.
By Aliee 1.. Shehlon.
With her little ones hovering at her side,
With their endless small demands;
With hungry mouths and shoes untied.
Torn garments and dirty hands,
With childish troubles to soothe away
A riot, perchance, to subdue—
Oh, every day is Mothers' Day
With a world of work to do.
Oh, sweet are the burdens that Mothers bear,
And deep are the joys they know-
When the children bring to their hearts to share
The load of their weal or woe;
For Mothers' hands are helping hands —
Life's battles hard to win—
And home with a Mother's loyal heart
Is a place worth living in.
Ah, the world is weary and sick at heart
Sorrowing and defiled
And it comes today to its Mothers' feet
With the grief of a troubled child;
And voices insistent make demands:
"Hear us and heed with your helping hands,
Oh, make of the earth without, within,
A place for its children worth living in."
And the cry will come to the Mothers of men
As long as the world has need;
'Till Justice comes to its own again
And banished are crime and greed;
'Till peace shall reign in this war-mad world
And the dreams of our hearts come true.
Ah, every day is Mothers' Day
With the work of the world to do!

-Oil News-
The drill in 200 feet deeper than it was when we decided
to shut off the big oil sand, which undoubtedly will be made
a big oil producer if a gusher is not found below, and we are
still drilling. A small oil sand was encountered about 140
feet below the big one and even the shale shows some oil.
We are confident that shortly we will drill into the real big
sand where the gusher will be found. The three big sands we
have already found lie 350 feet apart and if this same forma
tion continues on down, we should get into another big sand
in about 100 feet, which we expect to reach next week.
Arrangements have been made to open stock-selling offices
in Tacoina and Seattle with the view of raising enough money
in the treasury to drill several more wells. These offices will
lie opened next Monday. Then, as soon as possible, other drill
ing outftts will lie placed at work on our big leases, proving the
Held as rapidly as can be done.
The preferred stock—the kind you bought—will not be of
fered tor sale after this week. The common stock only will lie
sold In the Seattle and Tacoina offices, and it will be sold at 25
cents at the start aud gradually advanced as the work pro
grosses. r
Several of the most experienced oil men have stated that
our well has already proven an oil Held here. Where similar
conditions have existed, a little money invested has made for
tunes. Three big oil sands have already been found. The
formation shows there are others below, flow is the time to
invest—before the big producer is brought in.
