that gave them birth and loyalty to
the home where Mother was queen;
there is hope for the race that it
shall go forward according to a
Divine plan to the better and truer,
higher and nobler things.
And who more worthy of rever-
ence and honor than the mothers of
America who have given their sons
and daughters to the cause of Free
dom and right? They gave proudly
Gnat above all else most precious to
them; that which had cost them the
most; but who who shall tell the an
gQlsh of soul which this great gift
has cost them.
Heroes there are who shall come
back from the holocaust of war, wear,
ing the badges of their heroism
carrying the scars of their courage
and bravery Some are sleeping
oath the skies of France; heroes ali
sntit ed to all the honor that may be
bestowed upon them: But the mothers
of Cnase heroes: What of their hero

she suffering and anguish which the
fate of those whom they have borne,
gone down to deaths door that they
MIGHT bring them to life, has brought
to them; and yet with torn and

with smile and continued to work
for the triumph of truth and right.
No surer, truer precept was ever
given to men than this: Honor thy
father and thy MOTHER, that thy
days may be long in the land which
che Lord Thy God giveth thee"

KILLED BY AUTO PLEASANT TRIP
Gordon, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Seth
Hines Killed By Auto on Road Near
His Crandfather's Home, Tuesday
AfternOon-Result of Unavoidable
Accident.

A sad but APPARENTLY unavoidable
accident resulted in the death of Cor
don, the eleven year old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Seth Hines of Dover last
Tuesday shortly after noon.
Gordon who would have been twelve
years old next October was riding
on the rear end of a milk truck on
the road west from Copeland's Cor
ners; when in front of the home of
his grandfather, Mr.. Joseph Hines,
the lad dropped off from the truck
and stepped in front of an auto COM
ing from the opposite direction driven
by Nicholas Fisher of Petisville; the
boy was struck on the head by the
radiator of the Fisher auto and mis-
skull fractured.
I Mr.. John Neuschwander who was
riding with Mr.. Fisher assisted him
to place the boy in his auto and th4
unconscious lad was brought to the
Wauseon hospital, DIR. C. E. Bennett
was called but the boy was past any
helm medical skill could render; he
/ died about a half hour after being
struck. The body was taken to the
undertaking rooms of Edgar-Van
Rensselaer, where it was prepared fol
| burial.
No blame attaches to Mr.. Fisher
as he had no knowledge of the lads
presence until he appeared in from
! of the auto when it was too late tC
! ston,
Mr.. and Mrs. Hines have the sin
cere sympathy of the entire com
munity in the great shock of griei
which has come SO suddenly upor
them.

Sunday May eleventh is the day
set apart in America as a day on
men all shall unite in paying the
tributes Of love and honor to the
mothers of this nation. Is there a
class of persons in all the world
more deserving or more worthy Of
such tributes as are the "Mothers of
Mem?
Very simple and unostentatious is
the outer or visible form of the OBJ
servance of this day: the wearing Of
The white flower in memory of
Mother in Heaven" or the blossom
Of color for "Mother Living;" but
mighty and grand is the significance
20 the lives of men and nations OF
this simple form. When a people
cease to hold their mothers in rever-
ence; when. they cease to hold
motherhood as a sacred and holy
thing; when motherhood is desecrat-
ed and "nationalized"; then there is
a little hope for the future of such
a people: The foundations of civil
zation are swept away: the springs of
human progress and higher develop
ment are dried up at their source;
The Divine spark has become extinct
in the human heart.
No laws enacted by man, no world
wide Leagues of whatever sort can
take the place of Home and Mother
as the fountain head of Christian
civilization. Men may lose their
filth IN systems and governments; in
Kingdoms and Empires, monarchs
and rulers of every kind; yet if they
retain their reverence for the mothers

UNPOPULAR
The European Corn BOrer Cannot
Be Kept Out of U. S. by Congress
sional Enactment-Has Settled in
Massachusetts and New York
Farmers Must Watch

Congressman Thompson, of the
5th Ohio District, says that as a re
suit of the war one of the most
dangerous immigr9nts to this country
is Une European Corn Borer. He
says the immigrant cannot be kept
out by Congressional enactment, but
that the Department of Agriculture
is willing to cooperate with corn
growers to stamp out the threatened
pest which may appear almost any,
where in the United States. Up to
this time it exists in Massachusetts
md in an area about 20 miles square
n New York State. 1t would be 4
calamity to the mighty corn belt Of
northwestern Ohio if the pest should
2'Vsi this way. Unless there is
general watchfulness it may spread
from some unknown point of infes-
tation oyer so great an area that
eradication or even control may oe
out of the question. To the un'<
perienced eye the European Corn
Borer looks much like other cater
pillars. At present we have such
caterpillars as the larger cornstalll
borer, the common stalk borer, and
tie corn ear worm. In every neigh.
borhood, however, there are doubt
less some individuals who are
thoroughly acquainted with these
American pests and would be able
to distinguish them from the
European Corn Borer.
Should there be any doubt amons
farmers the safe plan would be t,
send specimens to the Bureau of En-
tomology, United Staes Department
of Agriculture at Washington, or t
the Stlte Entomologist of the Stat
experiment station at Columbus
Ohio. The Department of Agricul
ture has issued a poster illustratin
sorne means of detecting the prs
sence of the European Corn Borel
Broken tassels with extrusions @
saw-dust like material at the break
are said to constitute the PLANES
sign of an infested field. Ancthe
symptom consists in holes in ih
stalk with a debris resembling saw
dust extruding around the holes.
The borer enters the ears throUp
the husks and also the stem and tn
cob. At this season of the wear it

These should be burned now in orde

UNDESIRABLE
Some Things Congress Regards as
Luxuries That Are Commonly Used
By People of Average Means and
Even the Poor-Collecting PEN
MES From Children

Congressman, Charles J. Thd1np
son, of Defiance says regarding the
luxury taxes" in the new revenue
law which went into effect the first
day of May that no doubt the law
IS unpopular and should never have
been passed after the signing of the
armistice.
The "luxury" taxes are intended to
oe paid by the buyer and cannot be
included in the retail price of the ar
1icles tared. They are laid upon GER
tain kinds of wearing apparel of
stated value and upon other things
which the last Congress regarded
as luxuries, including ice cream and
the mixed drinks sold at soda foun
tains. The tax amounts to 10 per
cent of the retail price which must
be collected by the merchant and
returned to the collector of internal
revenue each month. Hereafter
each l cent dish of ice cream will
carry tax of 1 cent and Is cent
cnncoction must pay 2 cents. The
late Congress took every precau-
lion to have the tax collected from
the buyer and each sale must be
accounted for. Tax laws by their
very nature are unpopular, but this
one is particularly so, because it
not onl- adds to the cost of articles
of common use, even if classed by
Congress as luxuries; but, it is an
noying and bothersome. The clash
over the league of nations played
havoc with the public business and
this is one of the penalties imposed
Dy it upon the people.
During this war the American
neople have stepped up to the in
ternal revenue collectors office and
naid their taxes without whimper.
| They have watched without a pro
test billions flowing out of the
treasury for war purposes. Whea
hey pledged the resources of this
nation to the success of the war
| thev meant what they said and ]
think they have proved it; but the
idea is not relished of our great
government collecting pennies in
taxes from the children who buy ice
eream in order that we may send
more wheat to Russia and Germany
or increase our loans to foreign
Governments. The so-called "luxury
taxes" are not levied upon luxuries
at all. They, apply to articles which
while they may not be necessary
70 sustain life, are comonly used by
people of average means and even
by the poor. The taxes ought to
be repealed at the very first .oppor.
tunity by the new Congress if the
President in his wisdom, shall ever
see his way clear to call it together
so it can act. "I for one" saws
Mr.. Thompson, twill vote to repeal
the "luxury tax" and I believe the
new Congress as body will make
|, short work of this phase of oul
National taxation and I believe thai
even Democratic Colleagues viii

DOGS AND HUMANS

When our boys were youngsters
they thought we could not keep
house properly without a dog. One
time they were given a pedigreed
animal, another time they were
made happy with what was appar-
emily a plain "yaller purp." Big
dogs. little dogs, useful dogs, per-
feet nuisances, whatever they might
be they all had one point of re-
semI ance. When they did any
thing for their masters, they in
variably came up for pat or a
word of ccmnendation. No matter
whether they redeemed a hat that
had been blown into the river or dug
up a bone in the garden that some
better animal, perhaps, had buried
and forgotten, with a real smile
(dogs smile with their eyes and their
tails, you know,) they trotted back
with their offering and waited fol-
the show of appreciation. Far be it
from me to call your county agent
a dog, but what I wish to say is this
we are all more or less like the
boys four-footed companion, we al
ike to have some one say, "good
little dosgie," when we have tried to
do something for others.
