Worcestershire wonders of

early impressions such as, notably,
those of a beautiful face and things
and events assOciatiHg themselves
with it, form, as it were, a nucleus
of control over the rest. They in
fiuence our lives. To rob us of them
is to rob us of life itself. The beauty
and wonder of it is that the owner of
the face can in actual life never grow
old to the enamOred. Those early
impressions link themselves forever
with its object as part Of the birth
and Tipening of a soul There is a
mystic beauty and wonder about the
whole thing.
The place where these impressions
took root is ever looked upon and
remembered with a feeling of rever-

nifty itself and all that it means have
linked themselves in haIlOwing it.
And should the object around
which these impressions are weaved
fall altogether short of these beau

them has no recourse but to impUte
all of them to himself. It were bet

when this conviction is replenished,
that he is not alone in this heaven
of the past, then indeed does life

TALISM.-Thfnk hard, on Mothers
day! Understand that there are thou
sands and thousands Of mothers who
are in terror every day-in the year!
When you pin the flower on your
breast on Mothers day think of these
terrified mothers whose children are
suffering.
These destitute mothers are in
your own neighborhOOd. Just around
the corner from your house you will
find them, if you look.
Remember, on Mothers day that
these women and their children are
in poverty through no fault of their
own and they are in restitution IN
the richest land in the world.
Sermons on mother, poetry and
song, and all sentimental gush will
accomplish no good unless the day
inspires people to act.
There has been more fearful SEN
timent given mothers than to any
other part of the population, and
they are the real white slaves to this
day. They bear the heaviest bur
dens, alone, unaided, in agony of
tired muscles and brain and with the
awful knowledge that the little ones
they have brought into the world do
not have enough to eat and are dis
graced by charity.
There is a way to remedy this. The
mothers pension system, admins
tered in all its fuIness and with de-
termination to abolish Child-pOverty,
will make every day a mothers day,
and for the first time we will be do
ing something really worth while for
mothers.
The stingy method Of giving the
pension is not the right way. Pen
sions must be adequate and child
poverty must be hunted out by

"a roost, my son, is a pole upon
which chickens sit at night" replied
his father.
"And what's a perch, dad?"
"a perch is what chickens perch

Then, 1 suppose, dad, a chicken

further inquiry.
"And they could perch on roost?"
why, Yves" answered dad.
''But if chickens perched on a

some chickens had perched on roost

"White Way" Project May Be Taken
Up by Freeholders Next
Week.
ASSESSMENT FOR NEW
PROJECT TO BE CHANGED
Fifteen Men Appointed to Commission
in 1918 by District
Court.

The Charter Commission of Bemidji
will probably hold a meeting next
week to discuss a proposed amendment
to the charter fer the installation of
a white way"
A joint committee of the CONNER
cial club and the city council has re-
quested the commission to provide an
amendment for the charter so that
the installation of white way" can
be assessed two-thirds against the
adjoining property owners and one
third against the entire city.
Now Against City.
Under the present charter the in
stallation of a white way" must be
assessed against the entire city. The
committees were of the opinion that
it would not be fair to residents in
other parts of the city to pay the en-
teir cost of the installation of a down
town improvement. They believed
that the adjoining property owner
should pay more for the improvement
than the city as a whole.
A. P. White Chairman.
A. P. White, chairman of the COM
mission, is at present out of the city.
He is expected to return Saturday
and it is believed that he will call
meeting of the commission next
week.
Several members of the commission
this morning expressed themselves
against the amending of the charter
on account of the expense Of holding
an election It is believed, however,
that an amendment will be submitted
at the primary election in June.
Plans for the "white way" will be
completed as soon as the question
of assessments for the improvement
is settled. x
