MOTHERS DAY

The second Sunday in May is
Mothers Day. This year 1t falls on
May IA. The beautiful thought Of
setting aside one day in the year to
be particularly devoted to ones
mother was first suggested by Miss
Anna Jarvis Of Philadelphia, who
founded the Mothers Day Interna-
tional Association to provide the ne.
cessary organized support for the
fostering of the movement. Thanks
largely to her efforts, Mothers Day
has become a recognized institution
as the day on which each of us may
pause to acknowledge our debt OF
affection and gratitude to "the best
mother who ever lived" on which
we should be with her If we can, and
If we unfortunately cannot, should
make a point of sending her mes

foster the observance of Mothers

ANTIQUITY OF WHEAT.
This Cereal Was Common In China
5000 Years Ago.

Probably man would survive II tho
earth never produced another grain or
wheat. But he would not find 1t easy
to get along without this useful grnin'
for the eating of bread and other things
made from wheat -four is n habit to
which he has been addicted for nearly
5000 years.
Wheat It Is thought. was 6rst grown
ia the valleys of the Tigris and the
Euphrates. Gradually 1t spread TO the
east, and 1t Is known that In China 1t
was cultivated extensively as early as
1900 Il. G. Wheat formed the chief
| food of the people of Biblical times.
! The term wheat" is derived from an
Old English word, "hivaete," meaning
| white.
The wheat of today differs somewhat
| from that of early history. Through
| intensive cultivation and cross fertili-
zation It has reached high state OF
perfection.
| Wheat is the most widely known of
| the cereal grains. II Is found wher~
ever the white man has penetrated
II IL grown on the Himalayan slopes
! 10000 feet above sea level. on the great
| central plain of North America. In the
! tropical countries of Africa and India.
We even find that as far north as the
siXtieth parallel of latitude In Alaska.
Russia. Germany, France and England,
thousands OF acres OF wheat are har-
vested every year.
The fact that wheat can be readily

J Of all cereal grains.
There nre many different varieties OF
wheat due to the dlffcrcpccs of soil
and climntc. but In general we divide
| II into two classcs-winter or soft
wheat, sown In the fall and harvested
during the hot summer mouths. and
| spring or hard wheat, sown early In
the spring and harvested late IN the
summer.

There are twenty-four steps In the

There are over fifty varieties of four
made, but we must classify II chiefly
according TO the kind of wheat. Flour

moss. while great creepers. like mon
strous serpents, curl around the trunks
and writhe in tangles through the air.
And all about Is the mud. soft mud,
that bubbles forth gases and that
heaves and signs with internal agita-
tons. And In the midst of all this are
a dozen of us. We are lean and wretch
ed. and our bones show through our
tight stretched skins. We do not sing
and chatter and laugh. We play no
pranks. For once our volatile and ex-
uberant spirits are hopelessly subdued.
We make plaintive. querulous noises,
look at one another and cluster close
together 1t is like the meeting of the
handful OF survivors after the day Of
the end of the world.
This event Is without connection
with the other events In the swamp.
How we ever managed to cross II l
do not know. but at last we came out
where low range of hills ran down
to the bank OF the river II was our
river emerging like ourselves from the
great swamp. On the south bank,
where. the river had broken its way
through the hills, we found many
sandstone caves. Beyond. toward the
west. the ocean doomed on the bar
that lay across the rivers mouth. And
here In the caves we settled down in
our abiding place by the sea.
There were not many OF us. From
time to time as the days went by

swamp and Red Eye was not among

had survived the frightful journey.

we lived by the sea. 1t was not a
happy abiding place. The air was
raw and chill, and we suffered con
tinually from coughing and colds. We
could not survive In such an environ
ment. True. we had children, but they
had little hold on life and died early
while we died faster than new ones
were born. Our number steadily di
Ilinished.
Then. the radical change in our diet
was not good for us. We got few veg
etables and fruits and became fish eat

Hushes Will Be the Nominee,
Many Party Leaders Predict

OF many delegates from their oohga-
tions. would swell the Hughes vote 10
such proportions that his nomination
would almost certainly be made on the
third ballot.
Many Of the Hughes supporters were
even more optimistic and said they
thought that before the result OF me
second ballot was announced the drift
would be apparent to all delegates ana
there would be enough changes OF
votes 10 bring nomination on he
second ballot.
The Hughes managers expect Ar

nomination. At one time u was sald

il developed that the delegation was
divided. and, having no candidate 10
offer. would pass when the state was
called.
When the Hughes tide became APP
parent late tonight many inquiries
were made of those who are supposed
TO speak for the justice as 10 whether
his acceptance. in case OF nomination
would be in any sense contingent on
q third party nomination by the fro-
eressivcs The answer was that such
a contingency would in no wise be
taken into consideration by Justice
Hughes.
Ii seems practically certain that the
Progressive National Convention Will
again nominate Colonel Roosevelt, and
il is not at all unlikely that Governor
Hiram Johnson also will be drafted, so
that the ticket will be the same as IN
T@I
Many of the Progressive leaders
argue that they have no course other
than 10 name their former ticket, as
efforts TO reach an agreement with the
Republicans for a return TO the older
party have failed. The more conser-
vative representatives of the Progress
sive party hope TO forestall action in
their convention until Friday.
The convention to-day having gone
over until ? D. m. tomorrow, they plan
TO occupy the entire afternoon session,
if they can. with a discussion Of the
platform and other questions. The eff
fort TO delay nomination is because
a few OF the leaders still profess that
there is some prospect of reaching an
agreement with the Republican man
ayers.
Neither the Republican nor the Pro-
gressive convention appointed commit
tees to-day TO confer with each other
respecting peace plans, as had been ex-
pected. They may do so tomorrow,
but there is opposition in both con-
ventions TO such a course. Both feared
difficulty in selecting the personnel Of
any conference committees.
Before the demonstration for Colo
mel Roosevelt in the Progressive con-
vention to-day, it was suggested that
the party might name candidate other
than Roosevelt. and that later. if the
Republicans named Justice Hughes and
his speech of acceptance proved salts
factory. the Progressive candidate c>uld
withdraw in the interest of harmony,
and a united front TO the Democratic
party at the polls would be presented.
This plan, however, has been aban-
doned.
