Necessarily the planting season
must be short this year, and the en-

now be concentrated in that direc-

hold their positions, but the known
strength Of some who are not far be-
low them in the column, especially
among the recent entries, makes it
evident they will have to keep very
busy to maintain the present order.
Miss Helen Leighton, whose name
appears for the first time this week in
class two, is the daughter of Professor
Ralph w. Leighton, principal of the
Skowhegan High School. 1t will be
noted at once that Miss Leighton can
prove very formidable candidate.
Miss Philbrook is member of some
of Skowhegan's strongest fraternal
orders and decidedly popular among
the membership thereof. There are
sure to be many who will take pleas
ure in casting their votes for her.
While the vote is large, considering
the brief time the contest has been in
progress, the value of the prizes is
such that the present figures can only
be suggestive of the total that will be
thrown. 1t is quite possible that the
name of the winner in one or even in
both classes has not as yet appeared
in the list. There is an excellent op-
portunity at this stage of the game
for any person or society with fairly
wide acquaintance or membership, to
enter the contest with every reason
of success. 1t should be constantly
borne in mind also that the End

would be full recompense for earnest

no means the only prizes to be con-
sidered

Mothers Day.


This is newly designated day in
our calendar. At the initiative of
Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia the
movement began. Her mother died
four years ago. She suggested the
second Sunday in May for its OBJ
servance. 1t seems very appropriate
that it should be held in this month,
when on the thirtieth, we honor the
memory of many fathers who died
for their country.
1t is a day set apart to honor the
best mother who ever liyed-our
own. The first observance was held
in many cities lat year. Those who
join in the observance of the day
wear a white carnation, unite in
special "Mothers' Day. services,
distribute white flowers in hospitals,
almshouses, prisons, and orphanages.
Last Sunday it received a large
recognition in Philadelphia. 1t was
celebrated by men and women of
every walk in life. Everywhere the
white carnaJion, the chosen symbol,
, was to be seen. Ten thousand of
the flowers had been purchased by
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com
pany, that their employees, motor
] men and conductors might do homage
to their mothers. The demand for
the flower was 80 general, in the city
of brotherly love, that it was soon
! impossible to purchase them at any
price.
Miss Jarvis has received letters
from the governors of seven states
and the mayors of many cities who
have officially recognized the OBJ
servance of the day. The idea has
also been adopted in Rome, Turkey
and Japan. Doubtless the observance
of the day will soon be world wide.
1t leaves in it's wake a gracious spirit
of love and unselfishness. 1t touches
tender chord in all hearts.
Mothers Day was observed last
Sunday at the Bethany Church by
special services. At the morning
service, the pastor, Rev. George Mer-
RAM, preached a special sermon to
the women. At the G. E. hour Mrs.
Grace Coburn Smith conducted a
Mothers meeting. 1t was delight
full and impressive service. At the
evening service the pastor gave a
short address to "Mothers.n
