Polish Versus English.

We have our difficulties in the pro-
nunciation of Polish names. and was
foolishly chatting Polish friend as to
the tongue twister Przasnyzs. The
Pole laughed, said the word with an
easy swing and taught me in minute
how to pronounce 1t. And he taught
me something else-the difficulty OF
the language Of England. Words OF
English can beat the Polish In the con-
strangulation Of vowels and conso-
nants. and my Polish friend after we
had sat and spat and gurgled and
purred the easy words Of his speech
pulled out a newspaper and pointed.

vowel. And should like to back that
word to beat the friendliest foreigner

by far the largest in the world. That
crater is said to be seven and a half

and about 1000 feet deep. But in Cra-

Oregon. which became national res

six miles long by four wide and 1000

C. s. Stearns Sells an Interest in
Bank. st al

| A business change took place dur
ing the past week, probably of more
moment to the community than any
! for many years, Mr.. c. S. Stearns sell
ing an interest in the G. s. Stearns
! Commercial Bank in Garden Grove,
Iowa, to Mr.. Geo. Ayres and Arthur
Mccartney, formerly of Weldon, the
change taking place the first of the
week
The announcement came as a sur
prise to the public in general. Mr..
Stearns, in his announcement has
fully explained the situation, and the
present status of the institution. It
/ is with keen regret that the people
receive this announcement, and this
sentiment among the people is a
standing monument to Mr.. Stearns'
business record here, for he certain
ly was friend to all and many is
heart toward him for favors shown
and counsel given in times OF
trouble. Always a booster for the
town and surrounding territory,
ready with means and time for any
worthy cause, and it is with much
pride the town has pointed to the in
stitution he has developed to it's pres
ent high standard, and it is truly with
deep regret that the announcement
is received, but after thirty years of
the closest attention to business Mr..
Stearns is entitled to a vacation and
we all wish he and his estimable
wife full measure of pleasure. We
are pleased to know that they will
continue to look toward Garden
Grove as their home and will still
have an interest in the bank.
The new management of the bank
are not strangers to the community,
Mr.. Ayres having had charge of the
bank at Weldon a few years ago, and
Mr.. Mccartney is a former resident
of this city and needs no introduce
ton. Since this change has been
contemplated by st. Stearns, we
know of no one better fitted to take
up the active management than Mr..
Ayres. We have been acquainted
with him for some time in business
way and find him as others have,
strictly honorable and above board,
genial and a close friend of the
common people and we hope our
people will meet him in the spirit
of good fellowship, which we are
certain he will extend to all and
which means so much in the rela-
tons of the people to banking in
stitutiOn.-Garden Grove Express.

Mothers Day May 9th.

The founder of Mothers Day is
Miss Anna Jarvis, of Philadelphia.
For love of her own mother, and in
behalf of motherhood, Miss Jarvis
interested others in setting day for
the public recognition of all mothers.
A white carnation was chosen as the
emblem of the day, and the second
Sabbath in May for the day itself.
The first observance of this day was
made on the second Sabbath of May,
1908, and was confined to compare
lively few cities and towns of our
own nation. Since that time it has
been established in Alaska, the Phil
ippine Islands, Canada, Mexico, Eu-
rope, Madagascar, Fiji Islands, Bar
BADGES, China, Japan, Korea, Aus
tria, Africa and Palestine.
Mothers Day is a day which is OBJ
served in the church and Sunday
school in various ways. The Sunday
school children are urged to bring
their mothers to the school. All the
mothers of the congregation, espec-
tally the older mothers who have
been unable to get out, are helped
to attend the service; the aged and
infirm being brought in carriages
and automobiles by volunteers. The
churches are sometimes decorated
with flowers sent by those whose
mothers have passed away. A white
carnation is worn in memory OF ones
mother; a red carnation in honor OF
the living mother.
Mothers Day is day when those
who can should spend a few hours
with the mother; those who are sep
arated from her should on this day
write to the mother whose love sur
rounds them wherever they are.
