Mothers Day Proclamation.

Since that age-old day in the Garden of Eden, when
the Creator fashioned woman and gave her unto Adam
for helpmate this old earth has been infinitely the
better for womans presence in the eternal scheme of
things Through all the ages her influence has been
refining one, wholesome one, hopeful and inspiring
one.
Ever mindful of these things and being cognizant
of commendable custom that has grown up in the
United States, S. V. Stewart Governor Of the State
of Montana do hereby designate Sunday the tenth day
of May, A. D. 1914, Mothers Day.
Let us that day give heed in keener degree to the
promptings of the affection we feel for her who gave
us life, who watched over us in our childhood years.
and whose every heartbeat has always been in thorough
sympathy with If in the providence Of God she has
been spared u.s. let devote that day to the sweet
duty of making life bit happier for her than we have
ever made it. If she shall have been removed from
earthly scenes, then let devote to endeer
thoughts of her and perform in her some act of
kindness and hepfuness others that would win from
her, were she with us, word of loving approval.
We owe her life Let us on that day. in some small
measure at least her know that her years of
watchulness and anxiety and toll in our behalf have
left their immortal impress upon
Done at Helena, the Capital this the first
day of May, in the year of our Lord
thousand nine hundred fourteen.

Within fifteen years there will be

tana in the interests of the Van SAINT
Investment company.
Montana is rapidly coming to the
front as an agricultural state" said
Mr.. Van SAINT. "The season is some
what earlier than usual and the crops
are practically all in. A great many
farmers from the Middle West are
going into Montana, where they can
buy land at low price or take up
800 acres of government land"
Mr.. Van SAINT said the rapid devel-
opment of Montana will require much
outside capital and a great deal of
money is now going into the state.
