MOTHERS DAY NEXT SUNDAY
Will Be Observed in Bemidji and Ser
vices Of an Appropriate Nature
Will Be Held in All Churches.
ALL SHOULD WEAR A FLOWER

Sunday, May 8, is Mothers day.
1t is one day of the year when
everyone wishes to pay special tribute
to his mother. Mothers in Bemidji,
and mothers of sons living hundreds
of miles away will be recipients of
floral remembrances when the an
nual observances of Mothers day
are held.
On that day every one will wear
flower in honor of his mother. The
prevailing method is to send flowers
to her if living and wear a red flower
in her honor, or if dead, to pay trib-
ute to her memory by wearing a
white flower.
The custom has become general
through the world. With the separa-
ton of families, sons and daughters
living away from home as often is
the case, the sons and daughters
write but occasionally, and a bou-
quet from the son or daughter is well
coined by the mother.
Special services on the theme will
be given in many churches and
homes in all parts of the city will be
the scenes of reunions where children
return for a visit in honor of the
day.
With the past three years Mothers
Day has attained wide popularity. A
thoughtful custom or remembrance
to mothers is now being fostered by
florists throughout the United States
in the advocacy of sending either cut
or potted flowers on the occasion.
Florists of the city say that already
many orders have been re-
ceived for bouquets to be delivered
ITO Mother" next Sunday.

GERMANY Confident
THAT VICTORY WILL
RESULT FROM WAR

Berlin, May 5.-Germany is thor
oughly confident that the efforts of
her enemies to crush her is all in
vain. The three-fold offensive in
Flanders, Galicia and Northwest Rus
STA has been successfully prosecuted,
and there is a feeling of enthusiasm
in military and civilian circles
which exceeds even the stirring days
preceding the war.
Flags are flying everywhere with
the imperial standards of Germany
and Austria predominating. There
is also a goodly showing of the Turk
ish crescent. Bands are playing as
regiment after regiment passes
through the city entrain to the
front.
Troops of the first line are fighting
men and have been trained complete
ly. AS the soldiers move through
Willhelmstrasse with hats and guns
decorated with flowers, mothers, sis
tiers and sweethearts cling to them
giving them encouragement.
At both the eastern and western
battle fronts where the offensive has
just begun it is reported that sur
prising gains have been made. Ypres,
which is the British army base, has
been encircled and the German gun
fire is soon expected to make this
place untenable. Ground has also
been gained between the Meuse and
Moselle rivers. In Galicia the Ger.
mans continue push the Russians
back and an announcement is ex-
sion of Hungary has been repulsed.
