Mothers Day.

If the setting aside of a Moth
ers Day will help contribute to
the love and respect for that dear
one who watched over us and guild
ed our youthful pathway then let
the observance of such a day be-
come not only statewide, but let
the people throughout the entire
lenght and breadth of our nation
and JOY and pride in setting aside
one day from each year of toll for
the pleasant memories of that dear
old mother.
Simultaneous with the thought
of mother, comes thoughts of rarest
tenderness and most loyal love.
Where is there a man or woman
no matter of what age or in what
stage of life that does not look
back through tenderest tears to the
time when those influences which
only mother could bring to bear
shaped our futures Alright and
stamped upon u memories the
real import Of a mothers love.
1t may be that times have come
when the rush and madness of
business activities have for the
moment crowded out the thoughts
of our old home. but when reverses
come; when the shadows Of trouble
fail across II pathway and a cold
and cruel world of humanity has
turned us away from its glowing
firesides; then it is that tenderest
thoughts Of the dear old home and
those youthful days come back to
us with all the force that the ear
lier love had Taught.

CROWS REAL PEARLS
UNIQUE INDUSTRY OF A MINNIE
sofa FARMER.
Drills Hole in Fresh Water CLANS and.
Inserts Sandals Actually Pro-
duced Several Small Sized
Specimens.

Duluth, Minn.-There is one enter
prise IN northern Minnesota that may
some day attract attention, and pos
sibly bring wealth to the promoter. If
It brings him wealth it surely will.
bring him fame, for the enterprise is
certainly original and unique. 1t is,
nothing less than the cultivation of
pearls by scientific treatment of fresh,
water clans. AS is well known, many
valuable pearls are found in the clans
that inhabit the fresh waters of the
northwest, and former Alderman E. r.
Jefferson of Duluth has a scheme for
treating the mollusks so that each
clam may prove a possible pearl BEAR
er. He is not dreamer by any means
He is one Of the survivors of the First
Minnesota, and hard-headed business
man. Mr.. Jefferson made a study of
the pearl question as applied to BIZ
valves. He ascertained the scientific
theory of the origin of the pearl in
the shell fish, and then he figured that
the cultivation of the gems was pos
sibly a practical venture.
Mr.. Jefferson owns a fine farm Dor
dering on Bay lake in northern Min
nesota. 1t is situated over near Deer
wood. 1t was there that he decided
some years ago to establish the pearl
industry, and he already has received
considerable encouragement He has
actually grown some pearls, though
they are small, and ii remains to be
seen, with the lapse of further time,
If large ones can not be cultivated.
In his research as to the origin of
the pearls that appear in some of the
shell fish, Mr.. Jefferson learned that
their growth is induced by some for
eign substance getting into the flesh.
A grain of sand, for example, might
produce the result If lodged perman-
emily. The grain of sand causes an
irritation, and nature has provided the
bivavle with a means of overcoming
it, or it would die. The shell fish de-
liyers a secretion around the point
where the foreign substance has
lodged, and eventually the grain of
sand is covered with the substance,
which in time hardens and thus the
growth of the pearl is begun.
Mr.. Jefferson several years ago Sc
cured a large number of the CLAIMS,
and, after inclosing a space on the
lake shore, planted them in the water.
But before doing so he subjected each
TO treatment He bored a tiny hole
carefully in the shell and lodged a
grain of sand in each. AS stated, he
has succeeded in getting a number of
small pearls. He says he doesn't
know how many years are supposed to |
elapse in the growth of a good-sized
pearl.
Speaking of his pearl industry, Mr.. |
Jefferson said that he had become al |
most discouraged by reason of the
fact that the muskrats, mink and 9th
er animals have raided his clam beds |
and have carried off most of the BIZ
valves. He has found it almost i'm |
possible to keep the CLAIMS in state |
of nature and protect them from these |
furry raiders. Mr.. Jefferson hopes, |
however, 10 further demonstrate that !
pearls can thus be cultivated and per /
haps with commercial success.
