Tomorrow is Mothers Day" Some
Of us have no mother to remind that
we are thinking of her, and, sorrow
fully, some Of US have forgotten to re-
mind the prayerfully waiting mother
that the warmest and most hallowed
SPOT In memory treasures her face and
voice.
Everywhere, tomorrow, mothers will
be made supremely Happy by tokens of
remembrance and love-and. every
where. mothers will be sad at heart
because absent son or daughter has
not remembered or. remembering. has
neglected.
We know one little mother who is
counting the minutes as we write. who
has counted the hours for days and
the days for weeks. because a long
absent daughter Is to be with her for
little while on Mothers Day."
There Is a Mothers Day" for you;
in the glory of its allpervading pur-
ity, and conquers itself in duty as the
daughter returns to her calling.
For mothers memory flowers white,
For mothers living flowers bright"
Let US at least, pay the tribute Of
flower, but for mothers living far
away let us write word Of cheer. II
we have not written it in time to reach
her on Mothers Day. let US date it
Mothers Day and send it on its mis-
sion to relieve the pain Of long ach
ing heart, to gladden. soft eyes that
have come to wear PARKWAY look.

the yearning sigh, Of many a mother
whose son is SO absorbed in business
or pleasure that the fieeting thoughts
of mother are brushed aside with IN

Y
III these eyes grows that "far-away"
Icok, the look that tells of weary,
dreary hours Of waiting and prayer,
alternate hope and almost despair?
Let the boy remember, tomorrow,
and bring to those eyes for time the
sparkle of other days. to that weary
heart the bounding of hours when she
rcmped with him, and to those
trembling lips the smile of thanks
giving.
Some Of us have only the mothers
Of our children left to US: and il chill
dren have forgot let Us not do so. Let
us not try to dismiss 1t all as "a piece
of sentimental folly" for after all,
what is life? Is business anything
more than sentiment? Try to analyze
1t and see where you land. And after
you have landed please tell us II the
moving power Of business is not the
comforting Of pleasure. And can you
confer any greater pleasure or to any
better effect than by Frightening the
life Of your mother--oi somebody else's
mother?
Only moment ago we asked a bust
ness man in our office for suggestion
on the Mothers Day subject. He re-
piled:

PEACHES MAY OR
MAY NOT BE HURT
Impossible to Determine Now
What Injury Orchards have
Suffered from Cold

What has happened to the peach
crop? Answer, nobody knows. The
extreme cold weather of last week
has caused the peach grower to see
visions of barren trees next summer.
Nobody seems to know just to what
extent the peach and apricot trees
have been damaged. Some growers
think there is but little hope for a
crop while others believe the damage
has not been serious. There seems to
be no doubt but that the temperature
of minus 10 is too low for the welfare
of fruit spurs.
When asked his opinion, District
Horticultural Inspector Luke Powell
was so optimistic as to hope that dam
age had not been severe. at is impos-
sible to determine the extent of the
cold weather damage" said Mr.. Powell.
"Under certain atmospheric condi-
tions temperature of 10 degrees be-
low zero would kill every peach and
apricot bud in the valley. This would
be true if the atmosphere Were damp.
If, on the other hand, the atmosphere
were very dry the buds could probably
Withstand considerably colder weather.
/ am hoping that the peaches and
apricots have escaped but very much
fear that every European grape vine
which was not covered has been frozen
to the ground"
