gems-our mother. There will be
many who will have only the memory
of their sainted mother to observe De-

sorrows, trials and tribulations, and
has gone up to her home in glory
where she waits and watches the
every movement of her loved ones
here on earth. Yes, wear white
rose for mother. Perhaps her life has
not been easy, perhaps your father
was poor man when she married him
and from that day she has stood by
his side, fighting as a woman must
fight. She worked, not the eight or
ten-hour day of the union, but the
twenty-four hour day of the poor wife
and mother. She cooked, cleaned,
scrubbed and patched. and nursed from
dawn till bedtime. And in the night
was up and down getting water for
thirsty lips, covering restless little
sleepers, listening for croupy coughs.
She had time to listen to your stories
of fun and frolic, she had time to say
the things that spurred your ambition
on, she never forgot to cook the
dishes you liked, she did Withhold the
dress she needed that you might not
be ashamed of your clothes before
your fellows. Remember all TINS
now while there is yet now time,
while she is yet living, to pay back
to her in love and tenderness some OF
the debt you owe her, You can never

Regardless of whether you agree

of individuals must place themselves
when attempting to hinder the work
of the board of supervisors Of the I'M

Mr.. Kibbey also called attention to
the fact that apparently Imperial

in the matter of building a new in
take, that he had talked with number

in turn had told him that unless I'M

what she had promised, that there
would be no NOR eweirs built across

He plead for close cooperation be-

resolution was read by Mr.. Kibbey
which had previously been presented
to the Irrigation Distric; directors,
and which endorsed only the propos-

THE TAUNTS OF LENINE

That astute Russian, Lenine, is now
engaged in taunting the league of ma
tions because OF its failure to protect
the weak countries. but no one knows
better than he that this failure is due
to Wilson's defeat in the Senate.
America was the one world power
which was disinterested in the settle
ment of questions the raising of
which was certain to stimulate greed
to the highest pitch. Through its
steadying influence lay the one
chance Of keeping rapacity in check
and liquidating the war in a broad.
humane spirit. If this hope has been
frustrated tho blame can be put
squarely on Mr.. Wilson's opponents,
who cut the cable and let Europe
drift into the rapids.
Last year the world had a chance
to choose between Lenine and Will
son. with the odds on Wilson. That
| choice was lost when the treaty was
| defeated in the senate. Since then
the issue has been increasing be-
tween the ranascent imperialism into
which Europe has been drifting and
the internatlonalism Of Lenine. Can
it be said that the odds are as strong
ly against Lenine as they were before
the league Of nations was defeated in
the senate? Let Mr.. Wilson's OPP
ponents denOunce Lenine and Trotzky

alter the fact that the song Of tri-
