Mother

Mothers Day-in MOTHERS YEAR
Now, as never before, motherhood is meeting
its supreme test of love, of sacrifice and of devo
ton
Mothers this year giving the sons they love
for the service of their country, following with
aching hearts the dangers that their sons en-
dure in great crusade for the freedom of the
world. -
Mother-love acquires new meaning by this
unselfish gift
AS mothers singly will sacrifice anything for
the benefit of their children, so mothers col
lectively are sacrificing all for the benefit of the
world at large
AS mother-love embraces each son and daugh-
ter, motherhood-love envelopes and protects
the nation.
Let us honor mothers today and tomorrow
and let us honor mothers and ALL mothers
from into the future.
For this is Mothers Year.

these several counties free from cattle ticks and lifting the Federal quarantine which has been in force since 1906.
 'Your citizens, working through their state and county agencies, and in cooperation with the United States department of agriculture, this year have dipped out the tick from 13,305 square miles. and thus have cleaned this destructive parasite from the following named counties and parts of counties:
 Territory released December 1, 1917: The counties of Baxter, Co lumbia, Crawford, Independence, Iz- ard, Jackson, Lee, Lonoke, Monroe, Nevada, Ouachita, Phillips, Pope, Prairie, St, Francis, Sebastian, Un- ion, White and Yell, and parts of the counties of Conway, Desha, Faulkner, Jefferson, Pulaski and Van Buren, The area thus freed, to- gether with the counties previously freed from quarantine, gives your state a total area of 31,573 square miles free from tick.
 This accomplishment, with that in other states, notably Mississippi, which now is entirely free from cat tie tick, enabled the department to exceed all former releases of terri tory and to declare free at this time total area of 65,52O square miles. The total area in the south released
