You know the sad story of Mary
Graves with her five young children, and
Louise Bachtel with her nine, six Of them
under fifteen years.
These mothers have given their lives
since girlhood to their children; in a mo-
ment their husbands were taken from
them. leaving them without money, with
out close kindred, or friends who could
help them, with home unpaid for and
with many little feet to be shod, many
little minds to be schooled. many little
mouths to be well fed, day after day. thru
the years until they grow up and become
part of the nation.
That's too much of load to heap onto
even a martyr Of mother; we owe it to
the memories of the mothers that bore
us-maybe some of our mothers fought
the grim fight alone-to the decencies of
society, to the charity that is greatest Of
all virtues, to these elemental good things
Of the soul we owe it, that these two
mothers have the financial load lifted

lilies, free at least from the pressing,
savage urge of hunger.
