Mothers Yours and Mine and Others

o these dear old fashioned mothers
Yours and mine and others'---
The kind we've always known,
Mine and yours-our own.
Who scolded us and petted,
When we fused and fretted:
Who hushed our childish fears,
And wiped away our tears,
And boxed our boyish ears,
And spanked us good and plenty
And coddled us at twenty;
And who still believed In us.
When we'd been an onery cuss,
And needed 10 be threshed.
Or to have our sap-heads smashed;
Who fed us ON sweet cakes
and cured our tummy aches;
And hid the cooky jar
Where we'd know where they are;
Who darned our socks and sweaters,
And wrote us good, long letters,
When we went away to school;
Or when We played the fool
And ran away from home
And started out to roam,
Till we found there was no other
Could take the place of mother
With Mother Hearts warm yearnins'
O these dear old fashioned Mothers
Your and mine and others
The sort that we all know
The mothers of the Rainbow!
Some are quick and some are SLOW,
Some are sober, some are gay,
They are mothers Of today;
Some are foolish, frivolous,
But own like them thus
They know how to play the game
And we love them just the same
These mothers OF the boys,
Who laid aside their toys,
At the call of camp and trench
To bear the wrack and wrench,
AS they struggled for their prea'h'
In the grapple unto death:
In the conflict to keep clean,
From the sordid and the mean.

DOCTORS DISAGREE"

The Wisconsin legislature passed
resolutions memorializing congress TO
repeal the daylight saving law as an
annoyance to farmers, creating hard
ship on the farms and causing wide
spread dissatisfaction. That seems to
be the view many Iowa farmers take
of the law.
But the doctors disagree on the
point. Speaking of the movement 10
repeal the law one man who has
charge Of number of farms in this
county said that he had no trouble at
with the new time. In his opinion and
by his experience farm work could be
conducted just as well and pleasantly
under the new time as the old He
had had no trouble with the large num-
Der Of men he hires and the impress
sion received from his analysis was
favorable to the clock time as applied
Who shall decide when doctors dis
asre. City workers generally approve
the clock time. Many farmers disap-
prove it to the extent of very con-
siderable movement against it. And
there we are.
The new congress is likely to find
the matter somewhat embarrassing.
However with what it has in hand for
immediate consideration is not unlike
ly that it will delay taking up the time
question until other important matters
have been disposed of and that clock
time win govern US during this sum
mer season at least.

Mine and your and others
The mothers of the men
Who heard and answered. when
The crisls-hour had come;
While our hearts were stricken dumb
AS they faced The naughty Hun,
Until the deed was done!
They gave the best they had.
Each mothers son, each lad;
While mothers gave them up
And drank the bitter cup;
Yet they would not deny
To send them forth to die!
They were so dear-each one
Some mothers stalwart son.
And some there are that sleep,
While mothers wait and weep;
Yet thru their tears, the while
They laugh with us and smile,
Like our mothers did before them
DO you wonder we adore them?
O mothers! Mothers! Mine and yours
While memory endures.
They are In our hearts enshrined!
Their love was often blind
To our faults and failings,
Our rudeness and our ratings;
Thru all our shames and slips
Our names were on their lips,
With love that never failed,
When the enemies assailed,
They bore the hurts and smarts,
Oren times with breaking hearts,
While they played for US,
And they made for us.
And they stayed for us,
While they prayed for us;
Themselves denied for us,
And they cried for us,
And they died for us.
While they lived for us;
And they raised us,
And they praised us;
And they loved us-love us STILL
Just as mothers alweys will
These dear old-fashioned mothers
Yours and mine and others!

Unmarried Should Save Most.

The married man working for these
wages is getting none too much and
is having to do some mighty close
figuring to get along. The high cost
of living is corking real problem
to him and the wife and the kiddies.
But the unmarried man is simply play
ing the game of passing-the-buck
when he yowls about the H. c. L.
He does the same amount of work as
the married man and so perforce gets
the same wages, but he has only him
self to support and has no sympathy
coming to him, but rather contempt
if he is not saving for the future when
he or his prospective family will
need it.

Buy each month a 500 Savings Ger
tificate, or as big part of one as you
can, and in the future you will be safe

world owes him a living and is not
giving him a fair shake. Go to the
straw, thou unobserving one, and note
whittier the wind is blowing.
