KISSING M0T8sR,
A Short L,cture to Girls From
Ladies Home Journal

& father, talking to his careless
daughter, said: II want TO speak to
you about your mother. 1t may be
that ycu baVe noticed a care Tcrn
look upon her face lately. O. course
it has not been brought there by any
act CT yours, still it is your duty to
chase it away. I want you to get up
tomorrow morning and get breakfast;
and when your mother comes in and
begins to express her surprise, 20
right up to her and kiss her on the
mouth, and you can't imsgine how it
will brighten her dear face.
Besides, you owe he:a kiss OF Two.
Away back, when you we're e little
girl, she kissed you when no one else
was tempted by your fever-tainted
breath and swollen face. Ycu were
not as attractive then as you are
now. And though those years OF
childish sunshine and shadows she
was always ready to cure by the msg-
ic touch Of mother's kiss, the little
dirty, chubby HANDS Whenever they
sere injured in those skirmisheS with
the rough old world. And then the
midnight kisses with which she
routed so many bad dreams as she
leaned above your pillow, have all
been on interest these long long years,
20, course, she is not so pretty
and kIssable as you are; but If you
bad done your share Of the work dur
ing the past ten years, the contrast
would not be SO marked. Her face
has more wrinkles than yours, and
yet if you we're sick that face would
appear more beautiful than an angels
as 1t hovered to Minister to your COM
fort, and every one OF those w1iDk kles
would seem to be bright wavelets OF
sunshine chasing each other over the
dear cid face.
''She will leave you cne OF these
days. These burdens, If not lifted
ircm her shoulders. will break he1
down. Those rough, hard hands,
that have done so many necessary
things for you, will be crossed upon
her Ifeless breast. Tcese neglected
lips, that gave you your first baby
kiss, will be forever closed, and those
sad, tired eyes will have opened il
eternity, and then you will appreciate
your mother: but it will be too late!

been IN close consultation with the Co.
pi5altSEs who are interested in tie l..
coo, ,o0O b.le purchasing syndicate pro-
j:c5. JOHN Martin, agent OF the Farm
ers' UnioD, IS also in New York, and
Is interested in the same matter.
Although the plan was not formally
presented at the AsheVille meeting.
Mr.. Jordan has been il constant con-
munics;ion with those interested since
that time. he would have been IN New
York before had it not been that bis
msny duties detained him in the
SruEn.
Tae project seems to mset with the
hearty approval OF all those who are
interested IN a higher price to the cot
ton producers for bis staple, and it is
said that the NeT York capitalists
vho a,e interested in tee matter have
theic money ready and are willing 10
st once put up sl,o00,o eco If it is &C.
sired to bind themselves to carry out
tneir part Of the project.
M. jordan is very confident that
lie farmers will hold for / cents any.
%a7, but thinks that this purchase
s?nd:cate would insure an l1-cent
minimum price,
The plan, as has been explained be-
'o:e, Is an agreement between syn
d:cate and the Southern Cotton Asso-
ciasion and the Farmers Union, by
Which the syndicate agrees to buy L.
600, 900 bales Of cotton at mtnirum
price Of II cents pound. The associa-
zion will obtain the cotton from its
mem oe-s, each man selling only part
OF els crop to the syndicate, and hold
ing the rest for the minimum price.
TIE projsct, which is most elabo-
rate ore in it's details, and which
-ould make the syndicate the biggest
acd most powerful spot cotton factor
in the world, has been submitted to
some OF tae leading 6nanciers and
tackers OF New York and approved
By tneu. It is expected that an i'm
