REMEMBER MOTHERl

This Is the month of roses. 1t should
also be the month for mother to have
a vacation. One of our exchanges hits
the nail on the head when it says all
of the family usually has vacation
each summer-eXcept mother.
But mother, who is the very basis OF
the family, and who works night and
day for the children-well, mother
doesn't seem to be recognized. Too Of
ten she doesn't have any extended per-
iod Of change or rest until that day
comes when she is "worked out"
Mother isn't asking for vacation
but that is only the greater reason
why she shou have one. She is so
busy cleaning up the house, getting
Gertrude's vacation things ready, help
ing John get ready for the Officers
Training Camp, and working occasion
ally in the garden, that she doesn't
have any time to think about any va
cation. Mothers never did have the
faculty of thinking about themselves
very much, anyway. All of their
thoughts are of othersi
If you wait until mother suggests a
vacation for herself, mother will new.
er have a vacation. But why not com
pei her to take vacation? Why not
get the railroad time cards and pick
out fine little spot and then send her
there with some other member of the
family and have the return ticket so
made out that she won't get back in
less than six weeks2
Because mother never asks for va
cation is no reason why she would not
enjoy one and profit from one. Be
cause she works with the dishes and
ironing and reading TO grandpa every
day is no reason why she wouldn't en-
JOY few weeks spent in the north or
even little cottage along the river,
Because she never has had a vacation
before is no reason why she shouldn't
have one now.
Send mother on vacation.
Get out the old gray bonnet, with
the blue ribbons on it''-and fix her
out with some real vacation toys and
a steamer trunk and some extra yell
low bank notes and let the real head
of the house have time of rest and
change and comfort this summer
And, remember this Don't wait
until she begins to beg for a vacation
because mothers seldom beg for va
cation.
This is June and with June the va
cation season begins.

There is cerGalp species Of reptile
found in all parts OF the known world;
its home is not SO much in the iungles
and wilderness, as one might sup
pose. This serpent frequents the
haunts of men, showing by this that
it is of sociable character; cities,
villages, and the sparsely populated
neighborhood each and all claim its
attention. The name of this serpent
is SANDER. We hope it has no abid'
ing place in the home Of any of our
readers. The Home Circle Depart

cred for this vileireptile, and seldom

HOME CIRCLE COLUMN.

Setting a young man aaoat with
money left him by his relatives, is
like tying bladder under the arms of
one who cannot swim; ten chances to
one he will lose the bladders and go to
the bottom. Teach him to swim and
he will not need the bladder. Give
your child good education. See to
it that his morals are pure, his mind
cultivated, and his whole nature made
subservient to the laws which govern
man, and you will have given what
will be of more value than the wealth
OF the Indies. You have given him a
start which no misfortune can de
prive him of.

BOOST THE RED CROSS

Next Tuesday, November q. has
been set aside in Valley county as
Red Cross day, and on that date
committees over the entire county will
put on an intensive campaign to raise
funds with which to finance the VAL
ley county chapter and the outlying
a~uxiliaries. Beyond question of a
doubt the different committees will
secure pledges sufficient to finance the
local chapter for any work that they
undertake. 1t is the duty of every
loyal American citizen to join with
the committees and assist in making
Red Cross day a success. Give your
mite, no matter what it is. Donations
of 25 cents per month when totalled
up will make a handsome sum and
every man. woman and child in the
county should see to it that they are
not slackers in this work.
Following out the financial campaign
it will be the duty of the women of the
entire county to turn to and assist in
getting the materials purchased work
ed up into suitable garments for
trench and hospital use. Thousands
of our boys are already shivering for
the want of a warm sweater or a pair
of gloves.
Let every IN in the county take
invoice and see if she has done her
share toward the Red Cross work. If
not she is just as much a Stacker as
the man who refuses to contribute to
the Red Cross funds. Each and eve
cry one of us can do our bit in one
way or another and the time is fast
approaching when the slackers will
be singled out and requested to do
their share.
Don't be a Stacker.
Do your bit.

A WITH A SMILE

At this season when the mails are
daily carrying formal and peremptory
notice to property owners in respect
to the payment Of taxes, Uncle Sam
is calling upon citizens for a special
kind of patriotism. The old gentle
man is asking the people to pay their
taxes c%heerfully, whether levied by the
federal, state OF local governments. In
view of this demand, it has been sug-
gested that "pay your taxes with a
grin" clubs be organized in every part
of the country. Business men in sew
eral localities are getting together to
coordinate their efforts in making tax
paying a willing process and a time
of cheerful giving, and thus they hope
to give Uncle Same a pat on the back
that will be appreciated.
For many reasons the government
at Washington would like all persons
affected by the new war revenue law
to pay their taxes in a psirit of sweet
resignation. In the first place the
government needs the money. 1t
needs the money and it wants every

body to pay to the government what
he owes and all that he owes. The
manifestation of a spirit of universal
willingness to pay taxes ~cheerfully
would be another object lesson to the
Teutonic powers that America is unit
ed and determined to see the war
through to a successful conclusion.
The experience of the burden of in
ternal revenue has shown that there
are two ways of paying taxes. One
way is to pay them grudgingly and, by
resorting to ~legerdemain, to evade full
payment. The other way is to come
forward and through with a smile and
give the government the benefit of
any doubts as to how language shall
be construed. In a time like the
present, when the country is at a
with the most INSCRIPTIONS military
power the world has ever known, the
government at Washington hopes that
the people will pay their taxes under
the new legislation in fine spirit and
in the fullest measure.
In this connection it may be argued
that paying war taxes is n thing
and paving state and local levies an
other. We can cut down living eX-
penses in a pinch, but we never seem
to be able to reduce the cost of gov
eminent. However that may be, the
fact remains that, in these times.
when the demand for money is uni
versal and persistent, the man who
can pay taxes and be happy about it
is a good citizen and a patriot. 1t can
be done. and right here in this state
are many who are entitled to men,
bership in a pay-your-taxes-with-a-
grin club.
Pay your taxes cheerfully if you
can, if you cannot pay cheerfully, pay
as cheerfully as you car. It's a test
of citizenship, and the government
expects no less Of any one.-Butte
Post.

at the Plant home found about fifty
ladies assembled to do her honor.
The surprise was complete and Mrs.
Stafford expressed herself as being
highly complimented.
To the soft strains of a march play
ed by Mrs. Memminger-Keith, two
little girls, Nellie Gath and Mary
Moore, daintily dressed in white, en-
tered, carrying a large white basket
filled with packages of beautiful
gifts for the bride-to-be, consisting
of cut glass, china, linen, lingerie and
hosiery.
Assisted by Mrs. John Lewis the
guest of the evening %unwrapped and
admired her gifts, which spoke to her
of the love and esteem of her many
friends.
The members of the Bridge club
assisted the hostess during the even
ing and all united in making the event
one to be remembered with pleasure.
The spacious rooms of the lovely
home were beautifully decorated for
the occasion. Mrs. Slattery and Mrs.
John Lewis served the coffee.

German advantages, but Germany has
its deep and persistent weaknesses and
losses, says the Spokesman Review.
It has had to change chancellors
twice this autumn-proof of wide
spread and deep-seated popular dis
content.
1t has had to give up much on
quered territory in France and Flan-
ders, and suffered meanwhile enor-
nous losses in men, munitions and
guns. Lieutenant General Won Ardene,
military critic of the Tageblatt of
Berlin. admits that no way has been
found for the germans to check the
western battle front. He reports the
slow and steady ally gains on the
German losses as very heavy when
an attempt is made to hold the front
line trenches in force, while a thin
line adds to the speed of the British
advance. And this further admission
is significant:
"The German artillery is so numer-
ically inferior to the British that it is
seldom relieved, and as it can not dig
in, owing to the muddy terrain, it
must fire without cover"
Other bearing facts to be remem-
bered are that the submarine cam
paign has been cut down so per cent;
that German man power has passed
its maximum and is now declining:
that the economic difficulties of Ger
many. Austria Hungary, Turkey and
Bulgaria are constantly growing more
complex. and that widespread distress
has shaken the morale of the leu
tonic peoples and the allies and in
tensified their WEAKNESS of war and
passionate longing for peace.
