MOTHERS DAY WILL
: Be OBSERVED HERE
Day Instituted by Miss Anna
Jarvis Will Be Fit.ngly
Observed.

Mothers Day will be fittingly OBJ
served in the capital city by special
sermons and song services in the va.
rious churches, and by the wearing OF
flower for the best mother in the
world-your mother.
Mothers Day was instituted by
Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia,
Pa. in 1908, when she wore white
in honor of her mothers
birthday. On this OCCASION Miss Jar
Wis announced her plan for national
observance of the day. The next
year Miss Jarvis propaganda had
progressed SO far that Philadelphia
observed the day in the church and
the home.
Since then the movement has
spread, until it is observed in nearly
all parts of the United States.
The white carnation was chosen as
the emblematic flower, because of its
purity and sweetness and because it,
grows in every part of the country
and can readily be procured in early
May, but any flower is appropriate.
Through Miss Jarvis efforts. Sena-
tor Burkett of Nebraska introduced
resolution suggesting that the second
Sunday in May be created a holiday
in honor of mothers and, although
other senators derided Burkett when
he introduced the subject many news
papers endorsed it. Since then gov
ernors Of many states have issued
proclamations asking the people to
observe the day, until now it has be-
come a national day of praise to
Mother.
Hundreds of flowers we're sold in
the city yesterday for the day, the
far exceeding the supply.
Many were unable to get their favor
ite flower.
