The drama entitled Home Ties
which was held at Bethel A. M. e.
Church last Friday evening, March %,

spect. There was a tremendous crowd
present and the young people have
been highly complimented for the way
in which they were so thoroughly
trained by their manager, Mrs. Fox.
$S5 was realized from this effort. The
proceeds were turned over to the

TO THE MOTHERS OF KANSAS
CITY, MO.

A ward to the public, but especially
mothers, as l am a mother and am
writing this for the benefit of our
girls, the flowers of our families. l
have two dear little girls between the
ages of IA and 16 years, hence l am
interested in other girls Of this age
as we'll as my own l wish to call
your attention to the parties or social
functions carried on nightly in the
various homes and conducted entirely
by children who five in these homes
c~haperones. Now if every mother was
interested in their girls as l am there
would be nc more of these parties
and they would be failures for the
lack of guests. l was out of the city
recently for about two months and
when l returned | heard of these par
ties and my girls had been attending
them. | at once made up my mind
to find u the nature of them and
as a result l accompanied my daugh-
tiers to two of them. l found them to
be most disgraceful and embarrassing.
l am positive that any mother who
desires to rear those dear sweet boys
and girls with a knowledge of respect
ability and purity would endeavOr to
break up such places of ruin and de-
graduation. These invitations are sent
out through the schools and they have
no respect of persons in the lists.
Some of these places are not even
p~resentable where these affairs are
given. l hope this will start other
mothers to thinking. Girls we love
for what they are; boys for what they
promise to be. Girls at an early age
are not content with being pretty
they wish to be thought so. We soon
notice by their little airs that this
care already occupies them and scarce
ly are they capable of understanding
what is said when they may be gov
erned by telling them what is thought
of them. The same motive, very in
discreetly proposed to the little boys
have al influence over them. A love
ly child is above rank. Girls are sweet
and are of ardent nature. They are
as heaven made them; handsome
enough if they be good enough. The
mothers heart is the child school
room. Holy as heaven-a mothers
tender love; the love of many prayers
and many tears which changes not
with dim declining years. l hope to
leave this impression with my dear
readers that the future destiny of the
child is the work of the mother.

OUR PEACE DELEGATE.

An armistice signed, the war has
ceased
And the world is clamoring for a per
manent peace,
And every country has sent delegates
To a worlds peace conference to ar.
bitrate
For justice and equal rights for all,
Wehther that Nation be great or small,
Great men Of all Nations have ideas
and plans
For establishing harmony in all the
land,
And making a peace that aver shall be
From wars and its evils safeguarded
and free;
And for establishing Democracy in all
the land
Which will give equal rights to every
man.
But what if their efforts at unity fail
And they find arbitration of no avail
And without an exception they all vii
declare
That the only conclusion arrived at
thus far,
We can only have peace by preparin!
for war.
We should then look to God, Wit
rules all the land,
And holdeth the peace of the worlt
in His hand,
And trust to Jesus, our Delegate,
Who stands before God as an Advo
cate,
And remember His message (who die
for our sins)

FEW ENTITLED TO VOTE
IN COMING ELECTIONS

AS the state law provides that all
poll taxes must be paid not later
than 80 days prior to the date of
any election, in order to entitle a
voter subject to poll tax to vote
therein, there will probably be a very
small vote polled in the elections to
be held in Covington and in the 4th
district, which will be held to elect
magistrates to fill the unexpired
terms of Esqs, w. r. Gift and i. A.
Standridge, respectively. Under the
law, 1918 poll taxes must be paid in
order to entitle a person subject to
poll tax to vote in said elections. The
trustees tax receipt books show that
very few 1918 poll taxes have been
paid, and as it is now less than 80
days until the time Of these cleo
tions, no voter can now pay his
poll tax in time to entitle him to
vote in said elections. OF course,
voters who had attained the age Of
SO years prior to January 10, 1918,
are not required to pay any poll taxes
in order to vote, and they are not af-
fected by the law relative to the
date of the payment Of poll taxes.
The election for MAGISTRATE is to
be held in the 4th district on Feb
ruary |, and in Covington on Feb
ruary II.
