HOW SHALL WE HONOR YOU,
 MOTHERS OF MEN?
By BERTON BRALEY

By BRETON BRALEY How shall honor you, mothers of men? How shall we speak our praise Of you whose tenderness follows Over the wide worlds ways? For pain you suffered that might live For struggle and sacrifice How shall pay you, mothers of men, For things beyond all price? We seek no glory, children love, What payment could you make So sweet to us as to know gifts Can still be yours to take?" So we give our faith and love and trust And ask more than this A smile that shows you understand And and then, a kiss.
  Oh, bore the Son of God The world of to save; And His heart the heart compassionate That Mary, his mother, gave. And the nearest love to the SsViors love, Which changes not dies, Is the love that leaps in a mothers heart And glows in mothers eyes!

THE ONCE OVER U By H. I. PHILLIPS U Ns
DAYLIGHT SAVING
By H. I. PHILLIPS

Daylight saving is now in effect in such communities as wish to save any. Sun hoarding is free for all. You can take it or leave it alone.
 That's one of the fine things about America: it's a free country, and a citizen may turn his watch forward an hour, backward an hour, or be strictly neutral and leave it lay"
 Eventually. of course, there will be a constitutional amendment passed covering the matter, and your watch will have to govern itself accordingly
 Ultimately the possession of a watch, the transporting and carrying of same. the winding of same be- tween the hours of sunrise and sum- set on week days, and the ticking of any time piece on the Sabbath may be barred.
 There is something so suggestive about a watchi When a man carries | it in one of those old-fashioned chamois bags it is all right, but when 1 a watch is suddenly flashed before
 ones eyes in the nude (hands. face.
 and everything bare) it seems highly ! disgraceful and menace to public
 morals. particularly to the morals Of
 those too young to carry watches of
 their own.
 And then. too, there is the brazen
 fellow who unscrews the back of his
 watch, inviting all to peer into it's
 delicate innards. Has a watch no
 privacy?
 Watch carriers such as these will bring the reformists out to do or | hal
 to sneaking our watches about in our hip pockets. always in the fear of | having some officer whack us with
 his night stick, break our crystal and haul us to court with leering, "Been telling the time of day right out in
 the open again, eh, in violation of the
 Forty y-seventh Amendment?"
 Freedom of the watch will not be
 interfered with this year, however,
 In fact. it is generally recognized that
 it will be more highly necessary to , carry one during 1921 than ever be- fore. In fact, the wise travelling man : will carry two, one giving the day , light saving time. and the other giv- l ing the daylight spending time. Half the country doesn't know how the other half tells time. ) There are now five brands: Day [ light Saving Time. Standard Time Eastern Time, and Unattached Time ? not to mention the well known Elluvs s Time so popular in many communi- s ties.
 s A man may rise at o'clock ac- : cording to Daylight Saving Time l take a 30-minute ride to the nex 1 village and arrive there at s: 30 Com I plicated Time

COLLEGE CREDITS TO SOLDIERS

SOGLG6E CRGOi . v SOlOfERS
 The schools and universities of the country have almost universally ap- proved the educational plans of the new army and fin many cases have given practical expression to their approval by offering credits and scholarships.
 They have been quick to realize that the arm y, instead of being a competitor is in fact an ally. for it's students are men who, for one reason or another, have net availed them selves of the advantages afforded by civil institutions of learning, and who. were it not fer this eleventh hour opportunity offered by the gov ernment, would have lo engage in the battle of life inadequAte'y equipped.
 A project is now Icing worked out by the cducation and recreation branch which, il is hoped, will en-. able those soldiers who, upon the completion of their terms of enlisfsee ,nei-t. desire colleg ate educations but who are debarred from going to college by the expense. to avail them selves of the patriotic scholarships which il is planned 10 establish at various colleges for the benefit of graduates from army courses.
 More than 30 colleges and universi- ties have already approved this plan and have rendered fheir cooperation Nor does the interest of the army :n i the welfare of it's students abruptly ! end upon their dis ,harse, for it has already established an army employ ment service whosu bIsiness it is to | find suitable positions for men who have completed their enlistment and ! wish To take up th pursuits of civil | life-E.

Maybe Alien Only in Appearance

An avalanche of applications for naturalization is falling upon the office clerk of the United States court. These applications mostly made by citizens of Mexico who in this country and want to secure employment and to remain here. But among the applicants callers many who though Mexican descent already citizens by birth and who to establish their privilege O employment which public work in this state is denied to aliens well to other privileges which but citizens of the United States are admitted.
 It is often difficult for applicants of this latter class establish their They lived here, in California, New Mexico wherever else they were born, mostly among people their language Many of them write and have no of communicating with people who might testify to their claims of citizenship The clerk of the court has been helpful it has been possible for him to be in such cases
 Therefore employers admonished that every man who applies work though he may speak only the Spanish language and may look like Mexican is necessarily alien. but may be an American citizen handicapped by the difficulty of proving it.

 O. How can sluqs be eradicated?
 4. The department of agriculture says that the best remedy for slugs is air slaked lime. It should be sprin- kled over plants and scattered about the garden.
