This is the day Of those who bravely bore us
-, In pain and travail only women know,
The day of those who toll and suffer for us
Always with eyes ashine and hearts aglow,
Who find great wisdom in our childish prattle
Who think us always more than common clay
Yet, It the need comes, send us forth to battle
With whimper-this is Mothers Day!
How shall we speak or sing their perfect splendor
Of sacrifice, their deep abiding faith,
Their selfless love, unwavering and tender
That seeks to guard us free of wound or seattle?
How they have dreamed for us and planned and srven
Soothed us in failure praised us in success
Waited, and yearned, endured and given, given
More than we know and more than we can guess.
This is the day of those whose love is endless
-, And will not falter though our fortunes fall,
Who, though we should be outcast broken, friendess
Across weary world would hear our call,
Captains and kings pass on with their endeavor,
Races and nations rise and die away,
But Mother Love endures and lives forever
Mother Of all of us-this is YOUR DAY!

Grain Review

Chicago, Feb. S.-Wheat gathered
fresh strength today notwithstanding
that at first some uncertainty, was
shown Bulls chiefly on the facts that
the demand at Liverpool continued to
exceed the supply and on opinions that
damage reports from the domestic WIN
ter crop belt were likely to become
more numerous. Falling off in receipts
northwest tended to handicap the
bears. After opening No &c off to "
up, with May $1.2S% to $1.3oN and
July at $1.22N to s1.2s y, the market
sagged g. little and then scored mod
crate general advance.
Subsequently prices underwent de.
cided reaction as a result OF what
seemed to be waiting policy In the
export trade and because Of free coun-
try marketing in the southwest. Liquid
ating sales assumed large proportions.
The close was steady, but IN to 2Hsc
net lower with May at $1.27A @1.27h
and July at $1.20x.
Seaboard demand lifted corn. The
rise was helped by the removal OF en-
bargoes on shipments to Baltimore
and by bullish crop reports from Argen.
tina Opening prices, which ranged
from A@A to &c higher, were fol-
lowed by further upturn.
Later a break in wheat prices LED to
much weakness in corn. The close was
heavy at 4 q NC net decline.
Oats responded to the corn strength.
There were reports Of an improved
domestic inquiry east.
Provisions advanced with hogs. On
the bulge, however, packers sold and
caused something Of reaction.
