Mothers Day

Mothers bay has become a day Of
nationwide expression Of our loving
regard for mother. If possible we
wear carnation in our buttonhole or
corsage as tender and sentimental
tribute. But to do a great and kindly
deed would appeal to mother even more
than the gift of flowers. A young
woman at Las Vegas sent me some
money last year, she said: Il have
heretofore bought flowers for moth
er's grave. / believe that she would
like me to send 1t to the Childrens
Home and Hospital for little crippled
children instead" A mother at Tu-
eumcari, known statewide for her So
cial activities, and a prominent mer-
chant Of Montoya sent money in honor
and memory of mother. A gentlemen
at Dawson sent check in memory OF
his little daughter, and another friend
and dis wife sent hundred dollars IN
itnenlory ,Of their son who died on the
field of honor in France.
The period beginning May Srd and
ending Mothers Day May 9th has
been selected as the time when we vii
ask the friends of children to provide
fund for the building, equipping, ans
endowing of great Charity Hospi-
tai for the poor children Of the south
west, so that the thousands now sick
suffering and crippled may receive
treatment and we hope cure. II w
all help we can raise the $150,OOO We
need. Some will give War Savings
Stamps, and others will give Liberty
Bonds. have just received promis'
Of Thousand Dollar Liber Bon'
from gentleman in Grant County t
invest in this cause as a living Me
mortal to Mother. The slogan Of oul

It for Some Mothers Child" Do no
put this appeal aside, but buy thi
Gift Carnation at your own price a

practical demonstration Of filial lov
in a gracious and fraternal gift. Fo

Oh, Ruth De Pew is a lady grand
And on all common people this lady
does frown
Sometimes in the middle of the street
she does stand,
While her many lovers gather around
There is one girl in our grade
Who isn't the least bit afraid
She comes to school on horses back,
And carries her books in a flour sack,
Oh, some girls are hansomc
And some girls are tall
But Lucille Percell
Is the fairest of all
She's a talented actress
In dreams or awake
And when it comes to fainting
Lucille takes the cake,
Gertrude Bruce
Talk about angles born without wings
Talk al,stt saints, qmadOnas and thing:
Ruby gets her lessons and she's per-
feet in school,
Ard she excells us all in keeping the
rule.
Since our dear old High School blazed
In mad fire few nights ago,
Aietha has sat in the attic and gazed
At the passers down below.
She sits on stool right beside Dollie
and they always study together,
They are very good girls and most
always jolly
As they thirk Of the style and the
weather.

The paramount issue "in this coun-
try is not politics nor policies, but food
and fuel, clothes and houses. These
are the four OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES on
which our national life must rest. You
will search the speeches Of candidates
and the programs Of parties in vain
for any mention Of these. They all
guarantee to produce new laws, but
none Of them promises to install a
system that will abolish the annual
anxiety about coal; none of them de-
scend to 50 simple task as the pro-
vision Of enough houses for the peo-
pie. It would be most refreshing, it
would be an indication that common
sense had broken into politics, if some
of these pressing questions were
promised the attention Of the national
government.

The other night,
We went to school,
And man was there
And his wife was there
AND their little boy was there
And the house was full
And there was young lady there
Who played the organ
And when she got through
She went and sat down
And there was 4
An empty seat by her ,
And the little boy
Got up in it
And he put his feet
On the young ladies lap
And she pushed them off gently
And he put them back again
And she pushed them off again
And he put them back
And she pushed them off
And changed her seat,
Then he got on the organ stool
And would have played
If his legs had been long enough
To reach the peddles
And all the time the preacher
Was preaching
And his father saw him
And his mother saw him
And the young lady saw him
All eyes were on him
Then he climbed in a folding seat
And flopped it up and down
So that no one could hear
But his parents
Did not care
And from one thing to another
He kept busy
All through the services
And so many complained
But the father didn't care
They were so proud of him
What is the remedy
For such unpleasant
Conditions?
thank you

Last Friday the little four -year-old
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Pablo Aten-
clio, Of Roy, was left for visit with
her God-Father, and family, Seyerino
Garcia, who live on a ranch near Mon
toya Pocket School House. The child,
true to the town-girl instinct, became
homesick and ran away trying to come
hack to her home in the section house
in Roy. She was missed in the even
ing and search made for her but dark
ness prevented searching with any
chance of success. The alarm was
brought to town early Monday morn
ing by A. ]. Hern, section foreman,
who went out and aided in the search.
AL. S. Hanson drove out with his car
and a party and two more cars We're
starting from town with citizens and
Roy Scouts to aid in the hunt when
when Mr.. Smith, who lives in the COM
munity drove in with the news that the
child had been found at 8 o'clock in the
morning, asleep in a cave in the can
yons about three miles from the home
she had wandered from. She was un-
injured by her night out and her
friends are rejoiced to have her safe
home again.

attendance was present in spite of the

The high mortality of infants Zone
out of three) is due very largely to
the fact that the baby cannot select
its own food, as does the adult, but
must take what is given it. Often the
food is inferior in quality. or even
positively poisonius.
How can the mother tell whether
the baby's food is right?
One way is to watch the actions.
If they are regular and natural and
the baby is gaining in weight, the
food is all right. Constipation and
diarrhoea both indicate indigestion
and should have immediate atten-
ton.
To correct Indigestion and regu.
late the stomach and bowels the babv
specialists have perfected a gentls
laxative and regulator called "Babv
Ease" laxative. which the mother
may obtain, with full directions. at
any drug store. "Baby Ease" is an
invaluable aid to the baby's health,
and no mother should be without x
for emergencies.
Do not use the strong and irritat.
ing laXatives such as are commonIv
used, nor anything containing opiates
or powerful drugs. They irritate the
delicate organs and lead to chronic
indigestion and constipation. "Bahv
Ease" laxative is corrective and
regulator as well as gentle laxa-
tive, and will promptly and perma-
nently correct Indigestion, collie.
diarrhoea and constipation. The
mother should then look carefulIv
to the purity, freshness and whole.
someness of the baby's food, the
cleanliness of the bottles, ETC., and
should consult the physician if the
child does not steadily gain in weight.
