Because there are five cards in a

"Auto.poker" Hands.
Accordingly. in "auto-poker" are
found the following hands. whose

Briefly this is the way, according To

We cultivate what sells in the

market.
But along with the production
and transportation and selling is
an exercise which develops quality
which make for civilization.
The teaching of civilization has
been that, if person wants indie
pendence and freedom, it is neces--
sary either to inherit money or to
develop earning power.
Man learned the lesson first. He
had fewer family cares.
Woman has valued affection and
love more than independence and
freedom. Nature made it SO.
Woman has been slow in learn
ing that love is good and neces-
sary, but love is not enough.
Woman has natural desire for
freedom and for independence.
Her hope and the trend OF her
present life is to have these, and
keep love and affection, too
There is a way for her to do
this, and we are approaching it.
Free schools gave to mother
great degree of freedom.
Free tuition and then free books
we're in the direction of liberty for
the mother.
And now there are schools where
the midday lunch is provided for
the children.
Who provides free schools, free
books, free lunches? The people.
Some of US we'll remember when
the school tax WAS paid by the
people who sent the children to
school. The poor man who had
six children paid six times as much
IS the rich man with one.
The man who owned half the
town and had no children paid no
tax at all.
But, the fact finally came to man
that children are a part of society
at large, and it is for the we'll
being of the State that all children
shall be educated.
And the result was that the state

Mothers work is never done.
There is no other work that can

And what is the net result of this

Mothers have not sold their time,
energy and talent for money. They
have given it.
When a mother wants to 60 on
little journey-buy, sell, think or
express her thoughts in a business
world-she must first consult her
husband.
The business of the world is op-

The children are far more de-

One step more and the state will

OF all the love affairs in the
world, none can surpass the true
love of big boy for his mother,
1t is pure and noble, honorable to
the highest degree in both. We
do not mean merely dutiful af-
fiction. We mean a love that
makes boy gallant and courteoua
to his mother, saying to every body
plainly that he is fairly in love with
her. Next to the love of hus-
band, nothing SO crowns wo-
mans life with honor as the
second love, this devotion of a
son to her. We never yet knew a
boy to turn out bad who began by
falling in love with his mother.
Any man may fall in love with
fresh-faced girl, and the man who
is gallant with the girl may cruelty
neglect his worn and weary wife,
but the boy who is lover Of his
mother in her middle age is a true
knight, who will love his wife as
much in her sereleafed autumn as
he did in the daisied springtime,
