HOME CIRCLE

While living is the time to bestow
your love. Don't wait until the loving
heart has ceased its beating and the
tired feet are still to tell them you
love them. What can they know Of
your words-of lore, and praise, tears
and grief? Give me all the love you
have for me while I'm living; it win
help us to bear the weary burdens that
come on 80 thick anc fast. In the
home especially is this true. The poor
tired wife is the pack horse. Without
one loving word, she tolls day by day,
raises the little children. cares for the
sick until it seems as IL the delicate
form could bear no more. Never comes
q word of praise for trying to do her
best. Yet there comes a day when the
feet go no more in the home. the voice
is still. there is a deep solemnity. all
over the place. Something Is gone.

should be sweetest. Darling Mother"

Our political speakers appeal only
to partisan feelings and your pocket
book. You never hear them using their
imam honest endeavor to
better our homes which are the foun-
dalton stones upon which rest all our
laws and institutions. both state and
national. When the homes are right
the entire country will be right. The
