COUNCIL DEFENSE
CERTIFICATES HAVE
ALL BEEN PAID OFF

The State Auditor and State Treas
urcr on Tuesday paid the last S9S000
OF certificates OF Indebtedness created
on account of the State Council OF
Defense on Tuesday, thus ending New
Mcxico's state expense on account OF
the war.
This is the remarkably quick clean
up and one that reflects credit on
all connected with the council.
All that is left in the way of un-
finished business is the collection of
farmers for seed grain in 1917 and
a small amount OF notes given by
1918.
Aside from what assistance the
council rendered during the war the
assistance rendered to farmers
throughout the state in increSing
their cultivated acreage was OF far
more benefit to the state than the en-
tire cost and expense of the council.
In some counties the increase in cul-
tivated land acreage was around fiji
~ per cent on account Of the as
sistance extended. The state could
well afford to create a regular de-
partment for the purpose of assist
ing its farmers and would reap a
harvest in enchanced property va
lues and improved farms if such a
thing was Systematically undertaken.

Sunday Observe Mothers Day

Mothers Day, the second Sunday
in May, has been set apart for special
observance in honor OF the home and
motherhood. The object of the day is
to recall memories OF the mother who
has gone; to brighten the lives of
those who remain; and t encourage
man, woman, and children to honor
home and parents. 1t is to be OBJ
served by some act of kindness to
mother and father; by services in
churches of all creeds, in Young
Mems and Young Women's Christian
Associations, and other organizations ;
and by wearing a white carnation
(emblem of the prity, duty, fidelity,
and peace of mother love), the badge
of the day.
The idea of Mothers Day orig
mated with Miss Anna Jarvis of Phil
adelphia, and it was celebrated by a
number of cities in the United States
in 1910. On May 10, 1913, a resolu-
ton passed both houses of congress
commencing the observance of the
day by congress and the executive de-
partments of the government and in
the same year Nebraska made it a
state flag day in honor OF the patriot
ism of Nebraska's homes In 1914,
congress authorized the president of
the United States to designate, by an
nual proclamation, the second Sunday
in May as Mothers Day, and to re-
quest a display Of the American flag
on government buildings and private
homes. The first national pro 7
ton was issued by President Wilson
on May 9, 1914.
"Thc Mothers Day International
Association with headquarters at
Philadelphia, Pa, aims to make men
and women realize their individual
responsibility to right the wrongs Of
motherhood and childhood, not only
in the home. but in the outer world /;
in the name Of mother to inspire
men to carry forward work for the
home which viii deepen their brother
hood toward one another; and to
deepen and perpetuatc family ties by
the establishment and observance of
Mothers Day in al countries.

. New Song ON the Market

A new song has been placed upon
the market and as the words were
written by a former well known Ra-
ton lady and dedicated to her father,
it will no doubt be sung with pleas
ure. The author, Mrs. NJ. Sprague-
Shearer, is the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. s, G. Sprague, and was for sew
eral years employed as a bookkeeper
in the Snodgrass Food company
store. For more than a year. Mrs.
.Shearer has been residing in FL Pa
so, Texas. but the poem which was
written while she was still residing
in Ration. was only recently set to
music. Mrs. Shearer has spent con
siderable time in recent years in writ
ing short stories which have been
published, but few OF her friends were
aware that she was meeting with the
success she has in the world of writ
ers.-Raton Reporter.
