Walked Into Cannon's Mouth
Eight times in 72 hours Hinden-

battlefield northeast Of Arras.
Eight times these battle-hungry

Of the cannon that had battered their

The same thing happened again and
again on the front far to the south,
where Teutons and French face each

blood-soaked hills of the Chemin-d -des-

it will stagger the world.

was once the hamlet of Gavrelle,

MOTHERS DAY
SUNDAY MAY 13
NORTH DAKOTA IN LINE IN
PAYING TRIBUTE TO
MOTHERHOOD

In proclamation, just issued, Gov.
Lynn ]. Frazier has designated Sur
day, May Is, as Mothers day.
Mothers day, equally Fathers day,
was originally designed to deepen
and perpetuate all family ties. It is
observed by some distinct act Of
kindness, q visit, letter, gift or
q tribute to show remembrance to the
mother or father to whom grateful
affections ID due. The day is socalled
because in most countries there is no
national celebration in honor of the
home or noble motherhood.
The time of observance by individ-
uals, churches and organizations is
always the second Sunday in May.
Public schools celebrate Mothers day
on the Friday preceding the second
Sunday, while business houses and
firms celebrate it on Saturday.
Mothers day had its inception in .
resolution passed by the senate and
the house Of representatives on May
10, 1913, for observance by members
of the senate and house, the president
and his cabinet and heads of the vari-
GUS government departments. In the
same year, the Nebraska state legis-
lature made Mothers day state flag
day in honor of the patriotism Of
Nebraska's true homes and mothers.
The first proclamation for the ma
tional observance of Mothers day
was made by President Woodrow Will
son on May 10, 1914, making the
United States the first nation in the
world to give such patriotic tribute
to it's homes. Since that time the
governors of nearly all the states

IDEA OF .SUPT. WHITE COIN
CIDES WITH PLANS ADOPTED
BY NATIONAL COMMITTEE
SUMMER TERM POSSIBLE
WOULDKEEP CHILDREN IN CARE
OF TEACHERS EVEN WHEN
WORKING FOR NATION

In practical accord in almost every
particular with the plan advocated
here several weeks ago by Supt. L.
A. White of the Williston public
schools is the national plan for or
ganizing an army of school children,
made public by the National child
labor Committee.
Mr.. White made the point that
work should not unnecessarily inter-
fere with school unless emergency
comes. The national committee goes
further than that and recommends
that cities maintain their school
forces thru the coming summer and
credit children for work done in agri-
cultural lines.
Following is the plan suggested:

outlining a workable plan TO every
state, county, and city school super
