WEAR WHITE CREMATION
 ON MOTHERS DAY.
Sunday the Date for Annual Observ-
 ance in Honor of Mother.

Sunday will be observed throughout the nation, in churches and by other organizations, as Mothers day. Tsis is an annual observance which comes on the second Sunday in May.
 f. The Mothers day movement was started in 1906 in Philadelphia by Miss Anna Jarvis, Kings Daughter, but it was not until 1908 that it gained general recognition throughout the country. It came about through the death of her mother, and because of her mothers preference for the carna- ton that flower was chosen as the days symbol. She conceived the idea of endearing motherhood and mothers by a special observance of the day, and putting forth this idea, she sug- gested that everyone wear a white carnation or other white flower as an emblem of the purpose to which the day Is consecrated. It was her idea that the wearing of the white flower. an emblem of truth and purity, would evidence the wearer's love and honor for his mother.
