Tell mother your small joys and sor-
rows and ask her advice-it will be
good.
Ask mother to tell you about her
girlhood-you'll both enjoy it.
Mother is girl too. She likes pretty
things, love, laughter and compliments.
Give her some.
The spirit of this celebration is
right enough. The letter of it fails.
Nobody can tell you how to observe
Mothers Day. You know. If she's a
red carnatiOn mother make her happy.
If she's white carnatiOn mother, do
something that would make her happy
if she were red carnation mother.
Nobody can draw up a celebration
schedule for Mothers Day. How can
one, when nobody can find adequate
words to write about Mothers Day?
Mothers Day is something new in
the way of holidays-not like Christ
mas and Easter which are old, old
holidays. And it's new, compared with
the Fourth of July. In fact, it's just
about the newest holiday we have.
1t was no longer ago than 1906 that
Miss Anne Jarvis of Philadelphia, hon.
oring the memory of her own mother
on the anniversary of her death, con-
ceived Of a day of which everyone
should do reverence to his mother,
whether living or dead. The Worlds
Sunday School association adopted the
plan, and, in the next few years, an
nually designated one Sunday as
Mothers Day. The purposes of this
celebration, as stated by DIR. George
w. Bailey, then president of the asso-
citation, were:
ITO recall the memories of the
mothers that are gone, and through
loving words and loving care to
brighten the lives of the mothers that
remain, and to help children, men and
women to greater blessing in honor
ing their fathers and their mothers.
ITO recall mothers prayers, moth
er's dying words, and the promises
made to mother by the big boy that
still mourns her, and to stop and think
little of what she was in her life to
her family"
In 1908 Miss Jarvis founded an or
ganization now known as Mothers Day
International association.
The idea was taken up by the states.
In 1910 the governor OF Washington
issued proclamation designating
May s of that year as Mothers Day.
and urged it be celebrated by special
services and the wearing of a white
flower in honor of all mothers. In 1912
the governor of Oklahoma issued q
similar proclamation.
National recognition was given
Mothers Day by resolution of the
Sixty-third congress. approved by the
President of the United States on May
8, 1914, designating that the second

Sunday in May thereafter should gen.
orally be known as Mothers Day, :"
and directing that it should be the
duty Of the President to request it's OBJ
servance by issuing a proclamation
calling upon the government officials
to display the United States flag on
all government buildings, and the peo-
or other suitable places on this day,
las a public expression of our love
and reverence for the mothers of our
country
Originally the white carnatiOn was
the flower worn in observance of the
day. Then the public settled on white
carnations for mothers dead and red
carnations for mothers living; then on
white flowers and colOred flowers.
Now the tendency is to wear mother s
favorite flower
The great Of the world have been
proud to pay tribute to mothers.
Unhappy is the man for whom his
own mother has not made all other
mothers Observation-Disclosures.
A man never sees all that his mother
has been to him till it's too late to
let her know that he sees it.-W. D.
Howells.
If you would reform the world from
it's errors and vices, begin by enlisting
the mOtherS.-C. Simmons.
/ think it must somewhere be writ
ten that the virtues of the mothers
shall be visited on their children, as
well as the sins of the fathers.-
Charles Dickens.
The loving sacrifices of motherhood
must burn on the altar of undying
faith. If I could bequeath but one
priceless heritage to youth, it would
be the ability to know the full measure
of her love. Her influence is the most
changeless thing in the fiber of a
mans character. 1t outweighs arts,
science, literature and philosophy, for
her faith and works are better than
all the wise mans Neutrality-suspicious.

Then there is the Gold Star Mother
and the Mother in Time of War-oh,
what's the use!
But they do say in France that in
the moment of his wounding the Brit
ish soldier thought first of his sweet
heart, the French soldier of his wife
and the American soldier of his moth
er. Never mind who won the World
war; there's glory enougt. for all.
But history will record this fact ::
America showed the world in this sol
der who thought first OF his mother,
a new kind of fighting man:
He marched laughing to the front.
Veterans pitied him as a mere youth.
Children loved him as one of them.
Women gave him smile for smile.
The enemy found him terrible-a
fighting man who could not be stopped

CROPS and PROFIT
PROBLEMS JUST NOW PRESS
ING ON AGRlCULTURlSTS
Farmer on LoW-Priced, Fertile LANDS,
Still to Be Had, is in Best
Possible Position.

The economic problems connected
with the advantageous marketing OF
farm crops and the financing of the
movement of those crops are pressing
upon agriculture most severely. They
will be solved, however, and while
that solution is being worked out IL
is simply good sense on the farmers
part to make his efforts toward pro-
duction tell to the very maximum, as
best carrying him through the period
Of depression and hard times and
placing. him in the best position to
take the greatest possible advantage
of the better times to come. We may
repeat that the cheapest farm crop,
whether from fields or from live stock,
is almost invariably the largest crop
which can be obtained. Or in other
words, the greater the crop, the
greater the net profit. To attain such
crops and to place himself in the adj
vantageous position referred to above,
the farmer must study, and must apply
the results of his study to such prob
lens as soil fertility, it's conservation
and increase; soil moisture, it's con-
troll cultural methods, suitable ana
productive varieties, etc., etc.
The question is how can you best
accomplish and secure these things?
Can they be done on high-priced lands.
by paying high rents, with the prices
you get for your produce no greater
than may be had from that grown
and raised on much cheaper lands,
whose production is fully as great, as
that Of the high-priced lands? The
answer is unquestionahly in favor Of
the low-priced lands, when they are
selected because Of their soil fertility
and the other requirements necessary.
1t is not the purpose here to point out
merely that the lands of Western
Canada would prove a splendid and
ready solution, but to emphasize the
fact that in order to overcome your
present difficulty, to remove some OF
the burden that you are laboring I'M
der, you must secure some line OF
cheaper operation, whether it be re-
moval to other parts in your own
country where such opportunity may
offer, or take advantage of that which
Western Canada affords.
For information regarding these
advantages apply to any Canadian
government agent.-Advertisem

fected by the order officials said, but
about six hundred would be used as
counters and all others having annual
leave to their credit will be given
the benefit of it.
Secretary Mellon in a formal state
ment said: "The statements to the
effect that vast volume of duplicate
bonds and other securities have been
fraudulently issued anc are in circula-
ton are wholly without foundation.
There has been no evidence developed
of any such situation either In the
bureau of engraving and printing or
elsewhere in the treasury department"
Following President Harding's
declaration that the administration is
conducting no drive on the civil service
but is driving for greater government
efficiency through the civil service, it
was learned that some influential adj
ministration leaders plan to take many
Of the higher pals positions out of the
ironclad jurisdiction of civil service
regulations.
All positions paying $4,000 or $4,000
or over, positions of an administrative
nature, would be placed in enc group.
Employees below the higher figures
would be in the same position they
occupy today.

But, since human nature is human
nature, every day isn't observed as
Mothers Day. There Is all the more
reason, therefore, for observing the
second Sunday in May-May IA, this
year-with real celebration. Some
one has tried to figure out real cele-
bration after this fashion for sons:
Wear a flower in mothers honor
d white one If mother is dead; a col
Ored flower for a living mother.
Send mother box of spring flowers
Write her letter-a long one.
Give mother a whole day of your
time for that "good visit" she longs
for.
Send mother your picture, and snap
shots of your home, your children,
your work.
Tell mother your plans and ambi.
tions-she made them possible.
Tell mother your smaller troubles
she wants to help you.
Thank mother for her care and her
teachings-tell her how they have
helped you.
oOu lOISSI tndL uuOluSI SILL likes
candy.
Mother was your first and truest
Sweetheart-dont forget to say ~
love you'll"
For the daughters these things are
suggested:
It's your chance to say thank you
TO your best friend-your mother.
Be sure to celebrate by wearing a
flower for mother: White for mothers
not living; colored flowers for mother
still with you.
Send mother some gay spring flow.
lers, a brilliant bouquet or a thrifty
plant.
Make dainty cap or a "dress-up"
gown or shirtwaist as love gift to
mother.
If mother is far away, send her a
especial delivery letter" for her Sun
day treat.
Send mother the book you just en-
joyed reading.
Don't forget to send her pictures OF
yourself, your friends and your good
times

Golden Pennies.

Sir Robert Hornes forecast of
return of the gold sovereign to COM
mon circulation may recall that the
first regular gold piece struck in
England was-,a penny! This became
part of the currency in 1857, and
weighed about 40 grains, being the
equivalent of 20 of the contemporary
silver pennies. It's prototype was the
benant, a gold piece belonging to
Byzantium, which had been current
for centuries, but the English penny
was a far better executed coin than
it's original. 1t appeared but once
in our coinage and only two or three
examples have survived. No one in
England will be sorry for the disap-
pearance of the paper currency of war
times.-Montreal Family Herald.

To Mix Efficiency

WASHINGTON Part of the
bureau of engraving and printing,
which was recognized under an execu-
tive order by President Harding, re-
moving James L. Wilmeth, it's director,
and other high officials, was ordered
closed later by Secretary Mellon for
an inventory of the stock, valued at
many millions of dollars.
Mr.. Melons order applied only to
the divisions of the bureau which
handle the paper used in making bank
notes, stamps and government securi-
ties, it being explained that quicker
and more accurate checking could be
made by temporary shutdown of all
paper work.
About 1900 employees of the bureau
