MOTHERS DAY PROCLAMATION

During the last fifty years the
American home has undergone little
less than revolution. Science and
invention have wrought marvellous
changes in our economic and indus
trial conditions. Some Of these
changes have a tendency TO destroy
the unity of home interests. Time
and distance have been annihilated.
Home permanence has in large
measure been destroyed. The re-
sponsibilities of the mother have been
Increased. She finds it impossible TO
keep her flock together; she finds her
task of inspiring and directing her
children more and more difficult. She
must, therefore, do her greatest work
when her children are little tots, ="
when they are most responsive TO the
tenderest and wisest suggestions.
American mothers recognize this
necessity. and are making holy sacri-
hces to this end
The mothers of every country are
more important than armies and mu-
nitions of war. The mothers are the
source of civilization. To our moth
ers We owe our patriotism, our re-
hgion, our hottest aspirations II is
especially fitting in the year nineteen
sixteen that we pay tribute TO the
Mothers of America. Let the boys
and girls and the 'grown-ups,' who
are away from home on Mother Day
write a letter of gratitude TO mother.
"Let those who are home meet moth
er with a smile, a kiss and a handful
Of flowers Recite 10 her the prayer
she taught you at the bedside"
Therefore, ! Woodbridge ~ Ferris,
ask that the people Of Michigan set
apart the second Sunday in May (the
14th) as Mothers Day In obedience
to Resolution by the United States
congress, ask the people Of Michi-
gan TO display on this day the United
States flag on all grovernment and
public buildings, at their homes or
other suitable places. "as public ex-
preston of their love and reverence
for the mothers of our country" AS
far as possible let parents in their
homes and both young and old in pub
lie meetings discuss the theme of
mother with that enthusiasm and sin
cerity which characterizes all loyal
Americans.
Given under my hand and the Great
Seal Of the State, this third day of
May, in the year of our Lord one
thousand nine hundred and sixteen,
and of the Commonwealth the eigh-
tieth.
Woodbridge n Ferris,
Governor.

TIME Is THE TEST
The Testimony of Alma People
Stands The Test


The test of time is what tells the
tale. The public soon find out when
misrepresentation are made, and
merit alone will stand the test of time.
Alma people appreciate merit. and
many months ago local citizens pub
hcly endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills:
they do so still. Would citizen make
the statement which follows unless
convinced that the article was Just as
represented? Below is testimony such
as the sufferer from kidney ills is
looking for.
Ezra Robinson, l13 Grant Ave,
Alma, says: 81 suffered greatly
from lame back and other symptoms
of kidney trouble. ! tried many med
icines, but found no relief until | got
Doan's Kidney Pills at Rhodes Drug
Store. They strengthened my kidneys
and relieved the lameness in my back

trouble and am glad to recommend
them"

Old Bill Jones sold his wheat the
other day
The gosh darn fool threw his money
right away;
He rode into town sitting on a board,
And he came riding home in darn
little Ford.
When he came to the house and got
TO the gate
He shut off the throttle and pulled on
the brake,
He grabbed for the reins, got the
throttle instead,
And the gol darn Ford kept chasin'
right ahead
Bill jerked the levers and he turned
on the gas
He kicked at the pedals and he broke
out the glass,
He cut the wires and he pulled off
the top
But the darn little Ford it just would
MT stop
He pulled out his knife and he smiled
so serene
Cut hole IN the tank, Dram out the
gasoline,
He pulled out his gun, shot the tires
full Of lead,
But the gol darn Ford kept chuggin
right ahead
He went through the fence and out
through the lane
Miranda saw him coming and she like
TO went insane;
She ran out ahead, then she stopped
just to see
And the Ford struck her squarely
where her hustle ought TO be.
She threw out her hands as she went
up in the air,
Just as Bill went by she grabbed him
by the hair,
She bounded in the seat and landed IN
the bed
And the gol darn Ford kept a chug-
ging right ahead
Bill steered for the barn, but just
missed the hole,
And hit am old pig and you ought to
see 1t roll,
Out in the field they landed in a heap
In an old mill pond bout six feet deep,
Bill grabbed Mirandy and swan for
the shore
He was glad the thing had stopped
And wouldn't run no more,
But when Bill looked, he gave his wife
a yank-
The thing was throwing pickere out
on the bank.
