Suggestions for Observance.

Among suggestions for the days
observance in the official program are
these:
Live this day your mothers day.
Have your mother and father as
guests of honor, or give them other
pleasure. A day off for mother from
home seclusion and cares might be a
new, joyous memory to her and you.
Go home, if your visit will mean
happiness instead of added work for
a mothers tired hands.
mo person is too poor or busy to
send home the long-neglected letter,
telegram, phone message or gift of
praise or gratitude. Do not wait until
too late for it to give pleasure.
IF Mothers day be a memorial day
to you, then in parents memory
give pleasure to some one with whom
little joy goes a long way-the suf-
fering, disheartened, lonely, weary
Such an act may set the blood to
tingling in the veins of those you
may think have no heart, and who
may think you have none.
The international memory flower of
mother, home and country-the white
carnation-is the Mothers day en-
blem. Its whiteness, form. endurance
and fragrance typify the truth, beau
ty, fidelity and ever-rising incense of
mother love.
Display the flag from homes and
other suitable places on Mothers day
as public expression of love and
reverence for the mothers of our
country"

DEEPER MEANING
TO MOTHERS DAY
Observance Tomorrow Will
Take on Special Patriotic
Significance.
PROGRAMS AT CHURCHES

Observance of Mothers day tomor-
row promises to be more general and
to be of a deeper patriotic significance
in the nations capital as we'll as
throughout the entire country than
ever before. Programs to be present
ed at practically all of the churches
of the city include addresses lauding
the patriotism and self-sacrifice of
American mothers in. the world war,
as well as the work of women gem
orally in aiding to win the war.
Added significance is given this year
to the official Mothers day program
by the addition of taps" sounded
by Army, Navy and Marine Corps
buglers, at the close of the ceremonies,
in memory of the thousands of
mothers sons who laid down their
lives for humanity wherever Ameri-
can troops fought in the great con-
flict.
Crystallized around the original idea
of the day-"visit your mother, or
write her a letter today"-and the
wearing of white carnation in
honor of the best mother who ever
lived-the mother of your heart"-in
the few years since observance of the
day became national there has grown
up wealth of sentiment such as
surrounds no other day in the cal
0ndar.

Farm Speculation

The Grand Rapids News calls attention to the
speculation that is going on in farm lands all over
the country. In the Middle West prices for farms
are above anything ever known. I'm Illinois"
says the News, farms are changing hands at
$500 and $3.50 an acre, and in the northern por-
tions of Kansas and Nebraska land is being sold
at prices $50 to 500 an acre higher than two
years ago. Land at 5000 an acre several miles
from towns is common A Kansas City CORES
pondent cites the case Of one farmer who sold
his land two weeks ago and paid $1,000 bonus
10 days lated to get it back. 1t is said that the
speculation is not confined to the farmers, but
that own residents are buying land with the same
eagerness with which they once bought city lots.
kansas also has an orgy of oil land specula-
ton, following the recent bringing in of several
gushers in the southern field in that state. Pro-
moters are peddling stock in every city and ham,
let, despite the operation of the blue sky law.
The promoters get around the blue sky law in this
manner: They buy an interest in a land owners
one-eighth royalty and then divide the fraction
into units, which are sold without coming under
the head of stock. For instance, one-fourth of
one-eighth in one tract divided into 1000
units selling at $40 each, the popular price. The
promoters paid $4,000 for the one thirtysecond
of the tracts production and put it on the market
for $4,000. They couldn't lose if they could sell
units and they sold then clerks laborers,
small-salaried men and girls being the chief pur-
chasers. These buyers invest on the appearance
of maps, though the proposed tract may not
have developed sign of oil.
whatever we may have or lack here in N1ichi-
gan we are without the speculative fever that ap-
pears to have seized upon so many other sections
of the country. We are satisfied with solid and
substantial growth, and in the long run we shall
be the better off,

Cro.pn Princes Bath Suite
Abuses Yankee Doughboys

WASHINGTON, July 3-American
soldiers with the Army Of Occupation
at Neuenahr, Germany, are finding
great interest in suite of rooms in
the former Palatial hotel that now
serves as an army base hospital. The
rooms are known as the Grown
Princes Bath Suite" being a part of
the quarters often occupied by Freder-
lex Wilhelm. The suite Is used by
the Home Service section of the Amer
lean Red Cross. Doughboys spond
most of their time cracking jokes at
the former royal occupants expense.
Before the war the hotel was IA
nous for mineral baths. The dressing
room adjoining the former princes
bath is separated by luxurious velvet
draperies. The bath is in the Roman
style, faced with white thing. is set

Prices Remain High

Under this caption the Washington Post sug-
gests that statesmen and economists at once
study the question of prices to bring about an ad-
justment. NEARLY eight months have elapsed
since the armistice signed" says the WASH
ington Post. During that period war activities
have been brought near to an end, the army has
been three-fourths demobilized and the peace
treaty has been signed. And yet the cost of liv-
ing has not been appreciably reduced and many
prices range above war levels.
Here is a situation which demands the i'm
mediate attention of the government. It is
worthy the best thought of statesmen and econo-
mists, for it has direct and important bearing
upon the happiness and we'll being of the Ameri-
can people. The price of bread and meat is a
much more vital issue to at least 1O0,O0O,O00
people in this country than are the boundary lines
of Poland or social conditions in Czecho-Slovakia.
'The Post has directed attention to the prices
of food in moderate priced restaurants in Wash
ington. to say nothing of the sensational prices
charged in eating places of the better class.
Householders pay practically the same prices now
for food staples at the retail stores as they paid
while the war was on. IN some instances they
pay more. The demands of the government for
feeding their soldiers have passed. millions of
men have been released from military service
and gone into productive employment and trans
a year ago, and yet the cost of living has not
been reduced. Rents are going up and clothing
is sold at prices. Is there relief in sight
for the wage Garner of moderate income?
Conditions are becoming intoerabe to a

Citizens Want Investigation Of Death
Of Babv

Public opinion in Richmond demands grand
jury investigation of the circumstances attend
ing the death of the infant thrown on the city
dump by DR.. F. w. Kruger, who believed he was
disposing of dead monstrosity. The fact that
the child lived for hours after it had been hurled
on the trash heap aggravates the situation.
Even the most lenient and forebearing person
in Richmond cannot condone the hurting of live
child, even if so badly deformed that death was
only matter of a few hours, rubbish heap.
The act approaches the practices of barbarians
and savages who ruthlessly expose their weak
children to the mercy Of beasts of prey and the
clements.
A thorough going investigation of the Incl
dent by the grand jury is in place The public
has right to know how far some physicians go
in declaring infants unfit to have chance to
live, by what method this fact is established, and
how their bodies are disposed of.
The very fact that the child lived hours after
it had been wrapped into newspapers and thrown
on public dump indicates laxity and apparent
unconcern on the part of the physician which has
been roundly censured by hundreds. The state
ment of DR.. Kruger that he had recommended
the practice of disposng of cases of this kind
should be investigated to see if other physicians
have been guilty Of this practice.

digious amount, Scott was surprising
ly late in getting started. He was "a
years old when his first original
work appeared, The Lay Of the Last
Minstrel" From that moment until
his death, on Sept. 81. 1882, he was,
with the possible exception of Byron,
the most popular writer in English.
When the public seemed to be tir-
ing of his long romances in verse, he
turned to novel writing. and in 1914,
when he was As. he came into his
career of greatness with "Waverley."
For IS years novel after novel fol-
lowed in rapid succession. stirring
romances OF history or colorful tales
of Scottish life. They were all pub
lished anonymously until the finan-
cial disaster of 1925 made 1T seem wise
to reveal the authors name.
Fully a dozen OF the Waverley
Novels, il not more, might be includ-
ed in any list of 100 novels and many
loyal lovers OF Scott would even then
think that one or two more might be
added He was, as Stevenson remark
