MOTHERS DAY

Most all off the other beautiful
things in life come by twos and threes.
by dozens and hnndreds! Plenty OF
stars. roses. sunsets, rainbows. broth.
ersand sisters. aunts and cousins-but
only one mother in all the wide world"
Kate Douglas Wiggln.
Next Sunday there will take place
the fourth celebration OF new inter
national holiday. In all the calendar,
there are but two other International
holidays. and yet this most remarkable
holiday was created with single
postage stamp, according 10 the story
OF It's founder. Miss Anna Jarvis.
Five years ago Miss Jarvis used this
epoch making postage stamp 20 carry a
notice TO Church paper This notice
asked for the observance Of the second
Sunday in May as Mothers Day." and
requested that every son and daughter
who wished to honor motherhood
should wear white carnation on that
day.
The next year the same notice was
inserted In Philadelphia paper and
copied by other newspapers all over
the country. The result was that. the
new holiday became at once so popu-
lar that last year Mothers Day was OBJ
served, not only in every nook and cor
ner OF our own country, but also in
Europe. in parts OF China. Japan, Afri-
Gu and South America. Florists COM
pletely sold out thek' stock of white
flowers; churches held special ser
vices; and mayors and governors is.
sued proclamations urging that the
day be observed.
The wonderful growth OF this holi.
day is absolutely unique. There has
been no organization and no literature,
except one small pamphlet. to push It..
1t all grow. from that one little notice.
Even Miss Jarvis, whose love for her
own mother inspired her to send that
first notice, has never lectured or
actively propagated her idea. The re-
sponse has been entirely spontaneous.
The only explanation of all this lies
in the fact that the world Is coming to
realize the beauty OF motherhood and
Is eagerly glad OF this opportunity 10
give the mothers of men. honor due.
The observance OF the day is per-
fcctly simple. The wearing of the
white carnation, or any white flower.
is the chief ceremony. The Churches
hold special services with appropriate
sermons. and make great effort to
get out all the older people. Iryou are
at hcme with your mother, you are
supposed to observe the day as hers in
every way you san think OF. II you
are away from her, you are supposed
TO come home II you can. and II you
can't, to write her q special letter.
Kindness 10 somebody's mother" in
lieu OF yoar own. is also recommended.
Soldiers. sailors and statemen are
nationally honored." said Miss jarvis,
but the mothers who went into the
Valley of the Shadow OF Death 10 bear
them, are forgotten.
Let us all join in the observance Of
our new holiday, and make this no
longer true.

CBy Oscar X. GolD

TOMBSTONE. Oct I2.-The re-
cords of the superior court of Coehise
county reveal the fact that since the
beginning Of March, this year. more
litigation. including criminal cases.
has been disposed of in that tribunal.
under the present administration of
Judge Fred Suffer. than during any
period since the organization of the
county in 1882. This is indeed a most
remarkable record. when the fact is
taken into consideration that besidcs
disposing of the aforementioned busl.
ness, the entire work OF the old pro
bate court system, abolished since
Arizona attained statehood, is also
saddled upon the superior Judges
shoulders, and IL can be said that
the probate business of Cochise cour-
~ Is much more volumniOus than any
other political subdivision of Arizona
Court is Very Busy
Although litigation of various kinds
and nature are being filed daily with
the clerk of the superior court, the
same are placed upon the docket aud

the presiding judge, who besides clear
ing the court calendar of new cases,
is daily hearing and deciding many
| cases left over in the old district
court, which remained untried and
upon the calendar when Judge Sut-
ter went into Office.
Court calendar No. 2. recently is
sued. shows that there are in the
| neighborhood of two hundred civil
] cases now pending upon the civil
| docket, besides probate matters, and
| exclusive of tax cases, which are
many.
Since the organization Of the su-

GRAPE CULTURE IN
ARIZONA BEATS ALL

Talk about Arizona as a fruit coun-
try, the most ardent booster of the
state surely does not fully realize the
true worth of the soil in this regard.
This was brought to the mind OF the
writer this morning while viewing and
tasting some Of the tokay grapes rails
ed on the residence lots OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Lovin. in Douglas.
They are actually the finest grapes
one could ever hope TO see. Picking
a bunch OF this fruit from a water pail
which was full OF them, it was found
to weigh nearly one and one-haif
pounds, and to have the most delicious
taste imaginable. Mr.. Lovin has an
abundance of these grapes on his
place. and is selling quite a quantity
He is one Of the popular engineers on
the Southwestern

System is BUsiness-Like
This is the system BY which the
business Of private capital is conduct
ed: nothing more or less. I believe
that when the government of cities
receives as close attention and is
carried on with the same care and
/ economy as the business Of industrial
/ eorportions or private capital. there
will be found a great saving TO the
/ taxpayers.
But again / wish to say that such
a desirable condition will be imDos-

WANTS ALL VOTERS TO
REGISTER THEMSELVES
Lowell Democrat Has Ar
ranged Novel Plan for
Casters Of Ballots

A well known Lowell democrat has
hit upon a novel idea to secure a
complete registration of voters. Like
all movements worth while, it neces-
states the cooperation of the WON
en- of the district. The man vino
makes the suggestion points out that
the women are particularly interested
in getting out a large vote, as the
equal suffrage amendment to the
state constitution is to be voted on
at the coming election.
The idea is this: for every wife or
mother or sister Of a voter TO tie
string around his finger Monday morn
ing before he leaves home, so that
he will be reminded to register when
he gets down town.
VIII Never Remove String
The man does not live who will
ruthlessly tear from his finger a string
that has been tied around il by his
wife to prevent him from forgetting
something. and he will not remove 1t
until he has affixed his name three
times the registration affidavit
II every woman in the district will
cooperate in carrying out the Low
ell politicians idea, every man in the
Warren district who has not yet reg
istered will register Monday morning.
and Cochise county will roll up the
biggest vote in its history on election
! day. After the women get the bal
LOT, II won't make so much difference
whether the men register and vote
or not. for the women will then DC
/ able to do the voting for the family.
Idea May Be Carried Further
The idea of the Lowellite may be
carried further, and the string tied
on His finger on election day may be
such as to get out a big vote. IL is
a waste OF time, however. TO suggest
| extensions OF the idea TO the women
as they viii probably apply feminine
ingenuity TO the idea, and a ''votes-for
women" tag 10 the string.
Monday is the last day Of registra
ton. and the man who does not reg
lister will be in the same class or
election day as a speeches. man al
a sangerbund.
