"MOTHERS' DAY" TOMORROW
WHITE FLOWERS TO BE WORN
ALL OVER THE LAND.
Idea Originated With Miss Anna
Jarvis of Philadelphia-State
Holiday in South Dakota.

To honor the best mother who ever
lived-your own7sis the purpose OF Moth
ers' day, which is to be celebrated
throughout the United States tomorrow.
Its emblem is the emblem of purity-a
white flower.
The white carnation is the Mothers
day emblem: white rose will do. For
tunately, this celebration calls for no spe-
cial flower, as white carnations. local
florists say, are now quite scarce. The
emblem of Mckinley day is the pink car
nation, but in the past year the observ-
ance was not so general as before. due to
the fact that this flower at that time was
scarce. Therefore it, has been decided
that any white flower will do for to-
morrow.
Mothers day was originated one year
ago by Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia.
who conceived the idea in the desire to
mothers death. 1t was not only the
thought of laying flowers on her mothers
grave. but it occurred to her that ii would
be beautiful tribute to all mothers. the
drep on a given day would unite in the
simple wearing of white flowers She Sc
cured the aid of a newspaper. which pub
lished story of the suggestion. and ac-
cordingly Mothers day was celebrated in
many parts of the United States.
Observance Is Growing.
In Omaha Lincoln and Fremont, Neb..
and Council Bluffs, Ia, the mayors issued
special Mothers day proclamations last
year. and in Toledo, Ohio. special atten-
tion was directed to it.
1t vas suggested by Miss Jarvis re-
Gently that the second Sunday In May
be observed for the reverence of the
mother. The white carnation stands for
purity: it's form. beauty; it's fragrance.
love: its wide field of growth, charity:
its lasting qualities. faithfulness-all a
true mothers attributes.
That the celebration tomorrow will
have much wider observance than IN
1908 is assured by the fact that news
papers throughout the country have
taken up the idea. while Gen. Henry M.
Nevis. commander-in-chiefo OF the G. A. r..
and Edgar Allen. jr.. commander-in-chief
of the Sons of Veterans. have issued re-
the United States asking that each mem
Der OF the two orders wear a white flower
and observe the day. Many other national
fraternities have also taken up the matter.
Gov. r. S. Vessey of South Dakota has
set aside tomorrow as an official state
holiday.
Write Letters "Home."
Members or the Young Men CHRISTIAN
Association in this city will observe
Mothers day tomorrow. All of the
men of the association have been asked
to wear white carnations. and those men
who are away from home will write spe-
cial letters to their mothers.
meeting for men will be held in the
gymnasium of the association at o'clock
tomorrow afternoon. when Rev. George
Bailey, pastor OF the Western Presby-
terian Church, will deliver an address on
