man who has living mother is to ap-
proach her and tell her Of his graft

verbal message, he is to sit down and
write it TO her. Those who are so un-
fortunate not to have living mothers
are TO wear the flowers 10 commera-

nation's true sons in the token of love
and devotion for mother.
That such scheme may be carried
out il is necessary that some organized
plan be operated. I suggest that the
young men of the different churches
of the town of Manning get together
and arrange plans for furnishing and
presenting to every man OF the entire
community, flower on that day, en-
Joining upon them its symbolic mean
ing and obligation.
There are some cities in the Uulor
which you might visit on the End Sun

male RECALLED with the flowers.
There might be added to this furth
er plan of evangelical to lead every
unsaved mother in our bounds to Chris

one who deserves infinitely more thar

Mason City Man Attacks Fellow La
borer While Under Hallucination.
Mason City, Aug. 3.-Suddenly seized
by dementia John Davis, laborer for
the Milwaukee railroad, ram amuck at
the DALEY House and picking UP a
block of wood struck Patrick Barry q
terrific blow across the back of the
head. Barry. sat at the dinner table
and had no warming of the blow, the
demented man striking him from be-
hind. Stunned by the blow Barry fell
forward upon the table and others
about the place threw Davis out of
doors. They then called the police.
1t is thought that Davis became
slightly demented because of the in
tense heat. He has been doing heavy
work in the Milwaukee yards and
under the hot sun. His work is in
the supply department and he has
been busy with the task of moving
heavy timbers during the past few
days. This heavy work in the OPP
pressive heat is thought to have caused
his mind to go wrong. He had an
idea that everyone in the DALEY
House where he was styling. thought
him ''scab."
| Davis will be kept in Jail for day
or two and If he gets back his reason
he will be set free. If not he will
probably be taken before the commits
sioners of insanity.
