------, Germany, May IS, 1919
Dear Mother: Mothers day again but
what different one from that OF
last year! Different in many. many
ways. Last year the mothers heart
was fighting battle all it's own; a
battle Of united sorrow, battle OF
heartaches, battle of anxiety and a
battle Of indispensable pain, while
those dear ones whom they were SO
anxious about We're facing death,
going through fire and hell, suffering
hunger and fatigue in mo mans land,
somewhere in France" A battle too,
but not the same as that which was
being fought within the walls Of the
ruother's heart.
That battle was fought in silence,
fought with no banners to CLEAN and
wave, fought with no marshalling OF
troops, but fought nevertheless and
fought as mother herself only
knows. There perhaps in the walled
up mothers heart, the mother who
would not yield, but who silently bore
her part in the greatest battlefield OF
all the wars. Those battles, the brav-
est ever fought, are not found on the
APPS Of the world, nor in the his.
tories of man. Those battles fought by
the mothers of men.
But they were not fought in vain
nor without triumph and victory
Today--Mother's day-a day dedi.
Gated to the immortal memories OF

bow spawn on the lower Platte and
has brought in a large part of the
equipment used at the branch station

million rainbow eggs were secured in

eggs, for which there is a great de-
