SUNDAY is MOTHERS DAY
To be continued

Next Sunday, May 9, is Mothers
Day, and special services will be held
in many churches. The objects of
the observance are as follows:
To brighten the lives of our
mothers and to make them more
honored, loved and protected by their
/ children.
To remind sons and daughters,
especially busy, successful men and
women, of the unselfish devotion of
their mothers, and possibly of their
own selfish neglect of their parents.
To ask men, women and children
to make their mothers feel this May
day, that in her children's hearts she
is Queen of the May"
How to Observe the Day
Every man, woman and child who
feels that he or she had or has the
best mother that ever lived, is asked
to observe the day by wearing a white
carnation in honor of his mother, and
as a badge of love and loyalty; also.
to help the observance of the dav
Dy giving white flower to at least
one other person.
The white carnation is preferred If
1t can be obtained, because it is
thought to typify mother love, its
color standing for purity; its flower,
beauty; its lasting qualities, faithful
ness; its fragrance, love; and it's
wide growth, charity.
Show your mother some snec;a1
Kindness this day in words of affec-
ton and appreciation; by a gift or
a visit to her, or by letter If absent
from her. If she be not living, bless
the life of some other mother in
memory of her.
Attend our morning church ser-
vices, where all mothers will be treat
ed as guests of honor and the whole
service planned to cheer and encour-
age them and to admonish children
to more love and care of them.

"Lady Luxuryr Was Great.

Lady Luxury" the great musical
comedy success and galaxy of comic
opera stars appeared at the Grand
Monday night before crowded
house. The managers of the Grand
had given their personal guarantee
that their patrons would see one Of
he finest musical comedies ever ap-
pearing in DEBORAH, and their word
was made good On the appearance of
Lady Luxury" The company
came to DEBORAH from Waterloo, and
it has been long time since De-
corah theaters patrons have had the
pleasure of witnessing such an ar
ray of stellar stars. Florence Weber,
the leading lady had a charming
voice, and besides much personal
charm. Forrest Huff, as the Texan,
was forceful actor and contribut-
ed much to the pleasure of the show,
as did Mr.. j. w. Herbert, common
sense man, whose home and ideals
were a generation old. Taken all in
all it was an excellent company and
the acting and singing was far above
the ordinary. Such attractions
keeps DEBORAH on the theatrical map
in large letters, and Managers Weis-
er and Bear are deserving of much
credit for their efforts to give the
people of DEBORAH and vicinity some
thing worth while in theatricals.
