to be. Out Of the#iDundless infinity
of Motherhood, there. came to be one
more Mother; and out of this mother
heart there emanated frmo the great
Source and love and sanctity, the
sympathy and courage that made her
all that she was, as q physical and
spiritual mother, will come the sweet
toned memories of the far reaching
years. For time we were privileged
to have her hand in ours, our heads
upon her shoulder, her caress. her
soft stroke Of love; for q time we
could care for her and help her. and
cheer her. This was the Mrs. Graves
-the motherly- whom we knew.
But this one is gone. We can new
er we believe, see, or hear or know
Of her presence again, as we have
known her. But in q larger sense,
she Is with US still-the Mother. AS
such, she will be remembered by the
few who had the sweet privilege Of
calling her by that sacred name. To
the rest of US, she is Of value in what
she has contributed to the highest Of
all values, Motherhood. II we be-
lieve in this Trinity mother Mother
and Motherhood-we are blessed be-
yond anything our friends may say;
and in the holy presence of Mother
hood we are all friends.

Somehow or other. death loses its
sting with age. The more tenaciously
one has held to life, the more fitting
seems the breaking away, though the
goodbye be no less sad. We do not
like to have unkind hands NEEDLE
with our rosebuds; but when the
brown comes which means maturity,
he may pluck who will. 1t seems un-
fitting that the shimmering, leathery
verdant leaf should fall frmo the par
ent tree; but when autumn comes, be-
hold, without misgiving the falling of
a million scar and yellow leaves.

Wise John.

John was able to persuade Ruth to
do most things he desired. One day
the children, with their little cousin.
Edward, decided to draw pictures. Ed
ward and John each found q pencil.
but Ruth was still without one until
her mother came to her aid with
big new pencil. John, whose pencil was
blue stub, looked longingly ut the
new one and then, in coaxing voice.
said: "Ruthie, don't you want this
nice pretty blue ones 1t just matches
your eyes," Needless to say, John Sc
cured the long pencil.

A TRIBUTE.

(By F. D. Cram in Mason City Globe
Gazette.)
There is a Trinity; let him deny
who cares or dares. We have only to
know a mother like Mrs. Nancy
Graves to prove to ourselves that a
great deal can be expressed in three
ways. Ask the children OF mother
who has been long loved II that love
ceases with the end Of physical life.
There is a mother whom we do not
understand. Not even the mother
herself can tell why she does some Of
the things that she does. Her heart
'is full Of love and ~everflows with
love. That love fills all the atmos-
phere Of home with blessed actuali-
ties-but we can not describe them.
When you look upon a revered piece
of fancy work, the product of hours
of comparative freedom and say,
my mother did It," you do not think
entirely of wrinkled fingers plying a
needle; nor of eyes held close to a
treacherous turn of the thread; nor
of lips counting and recounting the
stitches as the figure grew into being.
No-you think of these, perhaps, but
not of them alone. Back Of them, and
through them, and undertaking them.
and permeating them there is spir-
itual something that something
seen with the eye of the soul is Moth
er.
Beauty-our concept of Beauty,
comes from abstracting quality from
something which is beautiful. From
the petal Of the rose; the green of
grasses, careening before a lazy wind;
the glossy wing of crawling crow;
the smile of baby at the time when
smiles are real-all these, and a
thousand other values, have gone in
to the race concept of beauty, until
the word becomes so weighted with
content that we cannot define it. Just
SO the term Mother is abstract. From
the beautiful qualities of a million
we have taken the values that
make Mother so precious; sympathy,
love, seif-sacrifice, self-control, pa
tience, perseverance, hope, faith, |
these and infinitely more,
But since these are varying qualities
with different mothers, we combine !
hem and call them Motherhood. No
,ne ever saw other Mother or Moth !
erhood with the material eye-and no |
,ne ever shall see them.
But there is third part to our
Trinity. Christ came to show us God
n the form of man. Christ lived as
God would live if He were to become
,ne Of us. We cannot understand God
ind we cannot understand Christ,
when he is most like God; upon the
mountain top, defying atan; turning
water into wine; raising Lazarus; bid
ling the blind to see; rising on wings
VI the resurrection morn But when
he places his hand on the head of a
'hild and says, LET him come unto
me- when he tells the understanding
story OF the prodigal son; when he
lies on the cross; this is a Jesus
whom you and / can know. In Just

Though score of railway lines CEN
ter here their entrance is via clean,
attractive streets and avenues.
To the east of the city lies the
western range of the Rockies, on the
west are the Cascades, to the north
the Kootenays and to the south the
Blue mountains. A natural center is
thus created, embracing an area Of
$4,000 square miles. 1t is $50 miles
east of Seattle, 375 miles north Of
Portland, $50 miles south of the in
ternational boundary. The altitude
is 1881 feet. The city is built on a
plain through which flows the Spo-
kane river. The business section lies
along both sides OF the stream, and
the residence portion extends into the
low-lying foot hills on each side, To-
cation slightly and healthful. The es-
timated population of the city on jan
|uary /, 1919, was $4,000.
1t is interesting to note that there
we're only 36.S42 residents OF Spokane
in 1900. Ten years later the popula-
ton was 1O4,4O3 by the federal CEN
sus. With the development OF rail-
ways beginning twenty years ago
numbering, horticulture, stock raising
and manufacturing have yearly be-
come greater factors in the city's
growth. So many natural resources
contribute to the prosperity of Spo-
kane that no one oyershadows the
other. Agriculture and mining are
first mentioned because the tributary
country has for thirty years produced
enormous wealth in wheat and ore.
This city is the comMercial heart
OF all eastern Washington, seven coun.
ties of northern Idaho, big. slice Of
western Montana and portions Of
northeastern Oregon and southern
British Columbia. This big territory
| is commonly known as the Inland
Empire. There are still the parks
and play grounds, typical homes ant

Edinburgh Landmarks Gone.

X An interesting bit Of old Edinburgh
dating back about 1900, has been burn
ed. The destroyed building, which con-
sisted Of Il single story and attic, was
one Of the landmarks Of the Holyrood
area. 1t was the old Yew Tree tavern.
and stood inside the bounds Of the
Holyro0d sanctuary for debtors, within
which, in days of yore, the fugitive
was free from the attentions Of his
creditors.

Not Meant for Household Pets.

II taken young the grizzly is easy
enough to handle, for at birth he
weighs only from 10 to 20 ounces and
is about the size of full-grown chip
munk. Later the bears run between
$50 and 600 pounds in weight, although
they have been known to reach 1900
pounds. This, of course, makes the
dOmestication Of grizzlies by apart
ment house dwellers difficult.

ARMENIAN RELIEF.

Mrs. Neva Davis Scott of Des Moines
and one Of the state workers IN the
interest of the Iowa Orphanage in
Armenia Campaign is in the city to-
day, to arrange for an organization
that will cooperate with similar or
CARNATIONS in the state to put Iowa
over the top in the campaign for this
worthy purpose. Delaware County's
quota is 100 orphans, made destitute
by the ravages of the Turkish armies.
Sixty dollars is all that is required to
care for an Armenian Orphan for
whole year, so that Delaware County's
quota would be only $4,000.
What Is the Armenian Orphan Relief
It is branch OF the work of the
committee for the Armenian-Syria
Jewish Relief in the near East, with
men such as Cleveland Dodge, Taft,
Morgenthau, Cardinal Gibbons. Oscar
Strauss and others Of national prom
inence heading the work.
Why Is the Armenian.S SYRIAN Jewish
Relief
DCCnuSc AO pOIIiOu VI Tie WOTiu Is
so destitute and no peoples in such
suffering condition as those in the
Near East.
Because through the tyranny of the
Turks the Kurds and the Tartans, lat
the instigation Of the German govern
ment), millions OF these wretched peo-
pie, Catholics, Protestants and Jews
alike, are wandering homeless, starv-
I ing and naked.
Because mothers dig up the arms
Of corpses to cook for their children
to save them from starving.
Because mothers hide the bodies Of
their dead children to keep their
bread cards for the others.
Because as late as May thousands
were dying OF starvation and expos
ure
Because daily hundreds of women
and children, released from Turkish
harems Through the fear of the
Turks since the investigations Of Lord
Bryce and MorgenthaD are returning
to their homes only to find them de-
nuded OF all utensils, implements,
cattle, sheep and horses, and. their
mulberry trees, the source OF their
chief industry, literally moved down.
These are only few instances Of the
devilish ingenuity Of the Turks in
systematically destroying Armenian
agriculture and Industries for the
past four years.
What Can lows Do About 1T
Iowa has undertaken to support
an orphanage caring for five thous-
and Of the half million fatherless and
motherless Riddles OF these lands. This
means two hundred and twenty thous-
and dollars year for many years to
come. The first big task is to provide
the bare necessities of life-food,
shelter, in most cases medical and
even surgical treatment. Children do
not grow up in year. We cannot
care for them this year and turn them
adrift next. They must be brought
up to be a self-sustaining people. The
Armenian Relief Fund is being dis
tributed under the direction Of Her
bert Hoover.
