Tomorrow Will BE
Devoted To Honoring
Mothers of the Land

Even with our country involved in
the great world war, never were the
words of ex-President Roosevelt,
Mothers are more important to the
country than the soldier, the literary
man, the man of science" OF more inn
port than now. Mothers day, which
will be celebrated this year tomorrow,
May Is, is an annual event that has
grown to one of great importance all
over the world. It grew out OF the
fact that about nine years ago Miss
Anna Jarvis, Of Philadelphia, Pa, start
ed wearing a flower on her mothers
birthday in memory of her, and as the
white carnation was her mothers fa-
vorite flower, that has come to be the
symbol of departed mothers. Colored
and although many. select whatever
flower is a mothers favorite, the car
nation still commands the largest
Miss Jarvis finally gave her idea out
to the world, and the appeal was so
strong that now practically the entire
civilized world not only thinks of
Mothers day as an occasion for wear
ing flower in her honor, but as day
in which to do something especially for
that mother, IL living. Where mothers
have no children old enough to think
of doing something for them, many
husbands have taken advantage of this
opportunity of paying them especial
honor 1t is to be hoped that no moth
ers will have to look forward in vain
this year, with the secret hope that her
children will not forget to pay her es-
pecial attention, to let her know she is
appreciated in the home.

very satisfactory account OF his or her
ability and training, maintaining the
high standard which this school has
attained. The advanced pupils gave
In technical agility, solidity and pro-
noufced musical feeling, such as not
often heard even In graduate recitals.
Intelligent and consistent advance
was very noticeable in the work OF
these students OF music. Such funda-
mental principles as clean. facile tech
mic, enhanced by varying tone quail
ties of an attractive order, lent them
selves to an artistic delivery of pro-
gram of well chosen numbers.
A fine and representative audience
manifested its hearty approval
throughout the program. Excellent
support was given TO the vocal num-
bers by Miss Gormley. who always In

WIVES AGAIN

A friend of ours came home one
day last spring with large, durable
wife. She had a long nose and a
short upper lip; beard, a mole, a
mustache and a jaw, ladies' and gen.
tIemen, that would make a chunk of
chilled steel green with envy.
About the same time another
friend trooped in with a small, COM
pact, two-giH creature who f1ddled.
FiddIing and dawdling over every
thing she did was her speciality. Nero
fiddIed while Rome was burning. She
fiddled while the potatoes were doing
the same thing.
Now we struck a middle ground.
We got one neither tan nor short,
dawdling nor adamant, iron nor
mush. We took her on in cold blood,
after due consideration. She fits.
And we don't expect to take her off
in Reno.

That was one thing he hadn't
counted on.
Upon him now fell the full burden
OF caring for the brood, the oldest

you have gathered from all this that
Bartlett didn't love his babies you
must know little about universal
fatherhood It struck him now like
a blow that he couldn't converse with
his own flesh and blood.
He lay awake nights yearning
over his little "cUbs," half white, half
brown waits, listening to their
strange mUrmUrs as they dreamed,
or their pathetic calls for the dead
mother who could understand them.
Every unintelligible word through
which they tried to make known
their walled-in souls was a reproach
to the father.
Today the prOspectOrs remark on
the change that something has
working in the eyes and features of
Trader Bartlett, but few have
guessed it's cause.
Recently a scientist in the govern
ment employ stopped to buy tea and
flour of the trader, and Bartlett
opened his heart for a flash.

COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, February 2S.-The cotton
market was very nervous and unsettled
early today. with traders watching the
course of political events very closely.
After pronounced early strength, Liver
pool broke sharply and the market here
opened steady at a decline of to Is
points under realizing or scattered
liquidation. Bullish spot advices in
spired a renewal Of yesterdays near
month covering, however, while there
was buying of Liverpool and trade
houses on which the market quickly
rallied, with March selling at 1890 and
May at 1917 shortly after the call, or
about net unchanged to 3 points higher.
AS soon as this first furry of buying
subsided, May and later deliveries
sagged off several points under liquida-
ton. The break in Liverpool was at
tributed to selling on a belief that the
proposed arming OF American vessels
would lead to an Improvement in ship
ping conditions.
Futures opened steady; March, 1915:
May, 1850; July. 1856; October. 1898:
December, 1906.
NEW ORLEANS, February 2s.-Poor
cables and political uncertainties caused
a fall of 9 to Fl points in the price Of
cotton around the opening of the market
here today, after which enough fresh
buying developed to bring about re-
action and recovery to within ! to 4
points of yesterdays close on the most

which ranged from the same as Mon

followed by substantial gains all
around.
Corn was lifted chiefly by notable
rise in the hog market. The strength
of wheat formed only secondary bull
Y up, corn prices scored moderate
gains all around.
Oats rose with other grain. Cash
houses We're good buyers.
Provisions jumped to new high rec
ord quota tions, said to be the highest
ever known If civil war prices were
reduced to a gold basis. European
scarcity and the upward sweep of the
hog market formed the chief accepted
reasons for the advance.
Subsequently. brisk additional wheat
upturns took place as a result of reports
that the British government was trying
to charter, as grain carriers. all possible
neutral vessels at three times ordinary
rates, and was Offering TO guarantee own
ers against all war risks. Houses with
