THE POTATO ACREAGE.

Reports from the Kaw valley. show
that there is only about so to SIS per
cent of the usual acreage in potatoes
in that famous potato growing region
this year. The crop is already planted
and IS coming through the ground
and early indications are for good
stand. with a normal growing year
the Kaw crop win mature about the
usual time which will mean that ship
ments will start about the first week
in July.
This is Just another straw 10 indi-
cate to potato raisers of the northwest
the value Of a large acreage this year.
Potatoes will mean big money this fall,
and that is the point which should be
emphasized because it Is the most
potent argument that can be used in
the efforts to save the nation and the
world from a disastrous shortage.

MOTHERS DAY.

There will be a new and deeper
meaning, a more vital and soul stirring
significance attached to the celebration
of Mothers day this year than has been
the case in any previous observation of
the day.
The object of Mothers day is an
"all-nations' and simultaneous obsery-
ance for the well-being and honor of
the home"
That was the great thought which
was in the minds Of those who worked
FOR years before they secured official
recognition of this day by congress. On
May 10, 1913, a resolution was passed
by the United States house of repre-
sentatives and the senate, commencing
Mothers day for observance by the
house and senate. the president of the
United States, the cabinet and other
heads of government departments.
President Wilson issued the first
Mothers day proclamation, May 8.
1914, and has issued similar procIama.-
tons annually since. setting aside the
second Sunday in May as Mothers
DAY In accordance with the joint reso-
luton Of congress The United states
was the first nation in the world to
give such a national, patriotic honor
and tribute to its homes, as the sfoun-
tain head OF the state"
This year Mothers day viii fall upon
Sunday. May 1s. and it viii undoubt-
eddy be a day consecrated and held
sacred to the home life that may be
forever changed and broken before
America celebrates another Mothers
day.
The people Of the United States have
not yet fully realized the desperate ma
ture Of the great task to which they
have set their hands. They are only
beginning to catch the grim signif-
canoe which lies behind the titanic
Efforts ard plans which are being for
mulnted and put into operation
