Mothers Day.

In keeping with the spirit that is
abroad today in American life that
is abroad today in American life,
which seeks to honor motherhood,
there will be special service next
Sabbath morning, at 1920 o'clock in
the Presbyterian church, when the
songs and sermons will be in accord
with this thought. The mothers of
the church and congregation are
therefore specially invited. Every
man, woman and child, who feels
that he or she had or has the best
mother that ever lived, is asked to
observe the day with us and to wear
a flower in her honor, white car
nation, if -possible, for it is the one
chosen as the emblem of the day.

State Sunday-SchoO Convention

Crookston papers received at this
office represent that the state con-
vention at that place was pronounced
by the visiting delegates one of the
most enthusiastic and educational
state meetings ever held. President
Youngdahl of the Anti-saloon league
was prominent speaker, and the
gathering passed strong resolutions
in favor of temperance reform work.
The beneficial effect of holding
the convention at Crookston will
probably influence the leading splr-
it's of the Sunday-school movement
to rather choose towns of moderate
size for their yearly gatherings in
preference to the.larger cities of the
state. 1t is intimated by the Crook
ston papers that Winona is likely to
be selected as the place of meeting
for next year.

Crookston and northern Min

there. One of the material results
of the session was the wiping out OF

aid to the farmers of this county
for these eggs. And yet we are in
clined, most of US, to look upon the
hen as of very little account. She
receives the least care of any living
thing upon the farm yet she is one
of the best revenue producers the
farmer has. The above figures rep
resent the eggs secured by one firm
only. If we would add up the
amounts paid out by all buyers in
the country and the sums paid by
consumers for given time the total
sum would no doubt be quite sur
prise to most Of US.
