Rudyard Kipling.
By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN
OTHER'S Day should be
celebrated 365 days In
the year. There's no
need to argue about it.
Every man and woman
blessed with a good
mother knows it's true
and knows why it's true.
It doesn't take a very
old child to understand,
either.
But, since human nature is human
nature, every day isn't observed as
Mother's Day. There is all the more
reason, therefore, for observing the
second Sunday in May May 14, this
year with a real celebration. Some
one has tried to figure out a real cele
bration after this fashion for sons:
Wear a flower in mother's honor
a white one if mother is dead; a col
ored flower for a living mother.
Send mother a box of spring flowers.
Write her a letter a long one.
Give mother a whole day of your
time for that "good visit" she longs
for.
Send mother your picture, and snap
shots of your home, your children,
your work.
Tell mother, your plans and ambi
tions she made them possible.
Tell mother your smaller troubles
she wants to help you.
Thank mother for her care and her
teachings tell her how they have
helped you.
Don't forget that mother still likes
candy.
Mother was your first and truest
sweetheart don't forget to say "I
love you I"
For the daughters these things are
suggested :
It's your chance to say "thank you"
to your best friend your mother.
Be sure to celebrate by wearing a
flower for mother: White for mothers
not living; colored flowers for mother
still with you.
Send mother some gay spring flow
ers, a brilliant bouquet or a thrifty
plant.
Make a dainty cap or a "dress-up"
gown or shirtwaist as a love gift to
mother.
If mother is far away, send her a
"special delivery letter" for her Sun
day treat.
Send mother the book you just en
Joyed reading.
Don't forget to send her pictures of
yourself, your friends and your good
times.
Tell mother your small joys and sor
rows and ask her advice It will be
good.
Ask mother to tell you about her
girlhood you'll both enjoy it.
Mother is a gin too. She likes pretty
things, love, laughter and compliments.
Give her some.
The spirit of this celebration is
right enough. The letter of it fails.
Nobody can tell you how to observe
Mother's Day.. You know. If she's a
red carnation mother make her happy.
If she's a white carnation mother, do
something that would make her happy
if she were a red carnation mother.
Nobody can draw up a celebration
schedule for Mother's Day. How can
one, when nobody can find adequate
words to write about Mother's Day?
Mother's Day is something new In
the way of holidays not like Christ
mas and Easter which are old, old
holidays. And It's new, compared with
the Fourth of July. In fact, It's just
about the newest holiday we have.
It was no longer ago than 1906 that
Miss Anne Jarvis of Philadelphia, hon
oring the memory of her own mother
on the anniversary of her death, con
ceived of a day of which everyone
should do reverence to his mother,
whether living or dead. The World's
Sunday School association adopted the
plan, and, in the next few years, an
nually designated one Sunday as
Mother's Day. The purposes of this
celebration, as stated by Dr. George
W. Bailey, then president of the asso
ciation, were:
"To recall the memories of the
mothers that are gone, and through
loving words and loving care to
brighten the lives of the mothers that
remain, and to help children, men and
women to a greater blessing in honor
ing their fathers and their mothers.
"To recall mother's prayers, moth
er's dying words, and the promises
made to mother by the big boy that
still mourns her, and to stop and think
a little of what she was in her life to
her family."
In 1908 Miss Jarvis founded an or
ganization now known as Mother's Day
International association.
The idea was taken up by the states.
In 1910 the governor of Washington
Issued a proclamation designating
May 8 of that year as "Mother's Day"
and urged It be celebrated by special
services and the wearing of a white
flower in honor of all mothers. In 1912
the governor of Oklahoma issued a
similar proclamation.
National recognition was given
Mother's Day by resolution of the
Sixty-third congress, approved by the
President of the United States on May
8, 1914, designating that the second
Sunday in May thereafter should gen
erally be known as "Mother's Day,"
and directing that it should be the
duty, of the President to request its ob
servance by Issuing a proclamation
calling upon the government officials
to display the United States flag on
all government buildings, and the peo
ple to display the flag at their homes
or other suitable places on this day,
"as a public expression of our love
and reverence for the mothers of our
country."
Originally the white carnation was
the flower worn in observance of the
day. Then, the public settled on white
carnations for mothers dead and ted
carnations for mothers living; then on
white flowers and colored flowers.
Now the tendency is to wear "mother's
favorite flower."
The great of the world have been
proud to pay tribute to mothers.
Unhappy is the man for whom his
own mother has not made all other
mothers venerable. Rlchter.
A man never sees all that his mother
has been to him till it's too late to
let her know that he sees it. W. D.
Howells.
If you would reform the world from
its errors and vices, begin by enlisting
the mothers. C. Simmons.
I think It must somewhere be writ
ten that the virtues of the mothers
shall be visited on their children, as
well as the sins of the fathers.
Charles Dickens.
The loving sacrifices of motherhood
must burn on the altar of undying
faith. If I could bequeath but one
priceless heritage to youth, it would
be the ability to know the full measure
of her love. Her Influence is the most
changeless thing in the fiber of a
man's character. It outweighs arts,
science, literature and philosophy, for
her faith and works are better than
all the wise man's knowledge. Sena
tor Lawrence T. Sherman.
Then there Is the Gold Star Mother
and the Mother in Time of War oh,
what's the use!
But they do say in France that in
the moment of his wounding the Brit
ish soldier thought first of his sweet
heart, the French soldier of his wife
and the. American soldier of his moth
er. Never mind who won the World
war; there's glory enough for all.
But history will record this fact:
America showed the world in this sol
dier who thought first ot his mother,
a new kind of fighting man:
He marched laughing to the front
Veterans pitied him as a mere youth.
Children loved him as one of them.
Women gave him smile for smile.
The enemy found him terrible a
fighting man who could not be stopped.
The economic problems connected
with the advantageous marketing of
farm crops and the financing of the
movement of those crops are pressing
upon agriculture most severely. They
will be solved, however, and while
that solution is being worked out it
Is simply good sense on the farmer's
part to make his efforts toward pro
duction tell to the very maximum, as
best carrying him through the period
of depression and hard times and
placing him in the best position to
take the greatest possible advantage
of the better times to come. We may
repeat that the cheapest farm crop,
whether from fields or from live stock,
Is almost invariably the largest crop
which can be obtained. Or in other
words, the greater the crop, the
greater the net profit. To attain such
crops and to place himself in the ad
vantageous position referred to above,
the farmer must study, and must apply
the results of his study to such prob
lems as soil fertility, its conservation
and increase; soil moisture, its con
trol; cultural methods, suitable and
productive varieties, etc., etc.
The question Is how can you best
accomplish and secure these things?
Can they be done on high-priced lands,
by paying high rents, with the prices
you get for your produce no greater
than may be .had from that grown
and raised on much cheaper lands,
whose production Is fully as great as
that of the high-priced lands? The
answer is unquestionably in favor of
the low-priced lands, when they are
selected because of their soil fertility
and the other requirements necessary.
It is not the purpose here to point out
merely that the lands of Western
Canada would prove a splendid and
ready solution, but to emphasize the
fact that in order to overcome your
present difficulty, to remove some of
the burden that you are laboring un
der, you must secure some line of
cheaper operation, whether it be re
moval to other parts in your own
country where such opportunity may
offer, or take advantage of that which
Western Canada affords.
For information regarding these
advantages apply to any Canadian
government agent. Advertisement.

expressed his belief that the great

St. Charles River Overflows.
Pueblo, Colo. A hall storm of se
vere intensity, following a twenty-four
hour rainfall, caused the St. Charles
river, a small stream seven miles east
of Pueblo, to reach a flood stage. Sev
eral hundred acres of farm land were
inundated, bridges were washed out
and highways flooded.. The stream
which normally is about thirty, feet
wide, reached a width of more than 500
feet, becoming a raging torrent, re

Burned Forests Build No Homes.
Denver. Every year forest fires in
the United States destroy or damage
sufficient timber to build houses for
the entire population of a city the size
of Washington, D. C; New Orleans,
La.; Denver, Colo.; or San Francisco,
Calif., according to statement just is
sued by the Forest Service, United
States Department of Agriculture,
through "Safeguarding America
Against ire," the official bulletin of
the National Board of Fire Underwrit
ers. The area burned over each year,
it is said, is equal to a strip ten miles
wide reaching from New York City to
Denver, Colo. The publication directs
attention to the fact that fifteen years
ago the bulk of public sentiment
against forest fires was in the East.
Today it is in the West, where 61 per
cent of the remaining timber supply of
the country is located. Over 81,000,-
000 acres of forest land that were for
merly covered with timber are logged
off or burned and completely denuded
of tree growth. The solution of for
estry problems, experts say, lies large
ly in fire prevention and reforestation.
