TO WEAR WHITE
CARNATIONS IN HONOR
OF MOTHERS DAY.

If you would show your patriotic
to the memory of the mother, in some
cases now gone, wear a white carna-
ton on Sunday. May 9. That is the
edict that has gone forth from the
headquarters Of the Grand Army of
many persons not members of this
historic band will be seen with the
emblem OF love pinned upon their
coat or shirt waist on that day.
The white carnation is each year be-
coming more and more the recognized
emblem used to honor the memory of
the mothers of the soldiers who took
part in the great struggle in the
early sixties. And IL is becoming as
much a custom for the old soldiers
to wear the white carnation on Sun
day. May 9. of each year, as it is for
them to visit the cemetery on memoir
ial day al the end of the same month
and decorate the graves of the COM
ntn SohSs WIZ AchtA1 SAoC "
side with them in the war.
Il In practically every city in the
United States where there are old
soldiers living. and there are few
where none reside, preparations are
going on to have May observed more
elaborately than ever before, as
Mothers Day. In fact. it is not only
the present year that such a concert
ed move has been made in the various
posts of the country for the obser-
vance of the day.
In larger cities the commemoration
of the day will not end with the
wearing of single flower. but will be
continued throughout the afternoon
and evening by special services and
programs. Many of the churches will
hold services at which the theme
of the pastors sermon will be founded
on the memory of the mothers.
The selection of the carnation as
an emblem for Mothers Day is the
second time that the beautiful bloom
has been selected for such a pur-
pose. The red carnation is the or
ganized emblem worn on each year
in the memory of one of the presi-
dents of the United States, William
Mckinley. The selection of the car
nation in his honor was made because
of the fact that in life he had often
testified that the red carnation was
his favorite of all the flowers, and
II was seldom that he was seen on
the street without such bloom
pinned TO his coat lapel.
In anticipation of the coming of
Mothers Day. the floral shops have
arranged to have big supply of the
blooms on hand, SO that it will be easy
for anyone wishing them TO secure
the same. While nothing definite has
been decided upon. II is understood
that in two of the churches in this
city at least a plan may be evolved
whereby each person attending the
morning services will be presented
with white carnation.-Cripple
