MOTHERS DAY Mayo
White Carnation Should be Worn
on That Day.
GOVERNORS PROCLAMATION
Executive Asks Ministers TO Devote
One Service to Mothers--Regular
Flower Day in Memory of Mo-
theirs of Our Nation.

Des Moines, Apr. 30-Mothers' Day
In Iowa will be observed on Sunday,
May 8, in accordance with procla-
nation issued by Governor Carroll.
On that day he urges all persons to
wear white carnation or other white
flower in memory of the mothers,
and that the preachers devote at least
one service Of the day to mothers.
His proclamation follows:
/ desire to call the attention OF the
people Of our commonwealth to the
fact that the second Sunday in May
is observed in many parts OF our
country as Mothers day.
This is custom which has recently
grown up and mere suggestion as
to the appropriateness of the occasion
is all that is needed to establish it in
the hearts and minds of our people.
| have been asked to issue a procla-
nation with reference to this day,
but have preferred rather to give II
my personal and official sanction in
the manner herein set forth rather
than to issue formal proclamation.
The day has been established not by
law, but by custom, largely by church
observance.
In memory of the mothers OF our
country earnestly recommend that
the ministers of our state devote one
service of the day to the memory of
the mothers, whether deceased or yet
living, and that as token of remem-
brance every individual of our state,
who can do so. wear a white carna-
ton. Let it be regular flower day
in memory OF mothers so that those
who may not be able to wear carna-
ton may wear flower of some 9TH
er kind, preferably white flower.
1t is patriotic and inspiring to OBJ
serve any Of our national holidays
whether in memory of the birth of
our nation or its great men and fall
en- heroes, but no tribute Is higher
and nobler than tribute paid to the
mothers of our nation. Let us all,
therefore, joint in the observance of
Sunday. May s, 1910, as Mothers day.

GUESTS OF BUFFALO
President Taft and Secretary KnoS
in Places Of Honor.
AT CHAMBERS or COMMERCE
Executive in Conservation Talk IndE-
rectIy Makes Plea, and State De-
partment Head Raps Newspa-
pers for "Diluting" News.

Buffalo, N. Y, May 2.-President
Taft and Secretary of State Knox
were guests of honor Saturday night
at banquet given by the two leading
commercial organizations of Buffalo,
the Chamber of Commerce and the
Manufacturers club. Thomas Penny,
former district attorney of Erie coun-
ty. acted as POSTMASTER.
Secretary Knox devoted himself to
an explanation Of recent reforms in
the diplomatic and consular services.
He declared anew that diplomacy and
trade must go hand in hand and that
it was misconception to construe it
otherwise.
The president devoted the greater
part Of his speech to purely local top
les. He spoke of Niagara falls referr-
ing to its scenic grandeur and indus
trial utility. This brought him to a dis
cussion of the conservation OF nation
al resources and indirectly to a ref
erence to Secretary Ballinger when he
said:
Let me lift my voice in behalf of
those who are responsible for carry
ing forward this work and plead that
they shall not be traduced and mis-
represented in reaching a solution of
problem most difficult"
The president spoke of the conser-,
walton bills in congress and especially
the one confirming the right of the
executive to withdraw lands from
public entry.
Guest of Ad Club.
Mr.. Taft and Secretary Knox, as
guests of the Buffalo AID club at lunch
con made two little impromptu speech
es which won them enthusiastic plaud-
its. The president spoke of his legis-
lative hope but declared that he pre-
ferred being advertised rather than
to advertise himself, despite the crit
icism that he did not sufficiently en-
ploy that agency. Secretary Knox took
a decided fling at some newspapers"
which, he declared, in diluting the
news were as guilty of wrongdoing as
men indicted under the pure food act
for diluting foodstuffs
Especially" added the secretary,
IF that dilution springs from malice
or an attempt to misrepresent."
