Senate, are printed when the bill is
introduced. In the Congress which
came to an end on March 4th about
$4,000 such measures were intro
duced, and the enormous amount of
printing involved is apparent. Hard
ly one per cent of those bills are
ever reported separately from COM
mittees, all the others that receive
favorable consideration being incor-
porated in so-called omnibus bills,
each of which includes scores Of
measures all relating to the same
subject, such as pensions. The adop-
tion of the reform suggested by Sem
ator Moses would mean the saving of
the cost of printing of upwards of
100000 copies of bills, most of
which, under the present system, find
their way into waste baskets.

MOTHERS DAY PROCLAMATION
(By The Covernor.)

1t is a beautiful custom which de-
crees that one Sunday in the year
shall be set apart for the purpose Of
honoring the memory of the mothers
who have gone from us and of pay
ing a tribute of affection and rever-
ence to those who are still left to us.
1t is impossible to compute our debt
to our mothers. Their devotion and
sacrifice guarded and sheltered and
cared for us from the cradle up. to
manhood and womanhood. To them
most of us owe whatever there is of
sterling character in our makeup.
The mother is the heart Of the home,
and from the hearthstones, around
which linger the recollections Of our
mothers, come inspirations that give
hope and courage and steadfastness
to fight the battle of life.
Therefore, by virtue Of the author
| ity vested in me as Governor of the
State of Michigan, do hereby desig-
nate and set aside Sunday, May 9th.
1921, as Mothers Day and I call
upon our people, both young and old,
to gather in their several places of
worship and take part in services ap-
propriate to the day.
And let absent sons and daughters
take this occasion to visit the mother
in the old home, or, where such a
visit is impossible, let them send a
message of cheer and greeting.
In accordance with a resolution oi
the Congress of the United States,
further request the people of Mich
igan on the day aforesaid to displa!
the United States flag in their home
and in other suitable places, as |
!. fitting expression of their desire t.
pay homage to American mother
, hood.

Free Tolls Through Panama

Senator Miles Poindexter of Wash
ington has introduced bill provid-
ing free passage through the Panama
Canal for American ships. The meas
ure is in line with the policy of Pres

speech of acceptance, and marks the
beginning Of the fight to restore the
free tolls provision of the original
Panama Canal Act which was re-
pealed in the early days of the for
mer administration.

Back to the Farm

The Department of Agriculture
estimates that an army of 5000, 900
men is going back to the farms from
the cities eager to aid in harvesting
the nations crops. At the present
time the supply of farm labor is rat
ed at 95.5 per cent of normal. 1t is
expected that in the wheat belt Of the
Middle West mobile force of $4,000
will follow the harvest from Okla
homa north to the Dakotas and Mon
tana. One result of the improved la
Dor situation is the encouragement it
gives to farmers to plant bumper
crops. All reports indicate that the
farmers are putting in larger acre
ages than were expected.

WHAT MINISTER'S THINK
OF SUNDAY CAMPAIGN.

The best thing ever held In Tulsa.
SO Rev. c. w. Kerr. pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, charac-
terized the Sunday campaign that
closes tonight at the Sunday taber-
nscle. II has been far-reachinR In
it's results. and just what 1t is going
to do for the city depends upon the
city itself, declared Reverend Kerr.
In his opinion II has not only been
stimulating to church life in Tulsa,
hut it has been a great blessing to
the little towns round about. This
statement is borne out by the fact
that 80 per cent of the people who
have come forward during the Sun
day campaign have been from out
OF town.
But the campaign, while II is over
tonight. has I'M reality only begun
in Tulsa, Reverend Kerr said. All
the echurches of the city are going
to conduct follow-up campaigns.
