Our Wanderers

oOl
Go home and see your mother,
boys,
Her sun is sinking low,
It's rays are reaching out before,
To meet the heavenly glow
"Her soft brown hair is turning
white,
Her eyes. look far away,
And slow the step and low the
voice,
That taught US how to pray.
"Do you remember years ago,
When ends would hardly meet,
The hours she stole from needful
rest,
To keep our garments neat?
Gust think Of all her anxious care,
To make your life's road smooth,
The only friend who loved you
through
The follies Of your youth.
"No, wonder that her hands are
tired,
That voice and limb are weak,
No wonder that the roses left
Her round and dimpled cheek.
"Such ~cease1ess unrewarded toll,
Too soon the wrinkles brought.
Oh, boys, it makes me sad to think,
How hard our mothers wrought.
Don't count bank books up, my
boys,
And wonder would it pay,
Could money buy her smiles of JOY,
When once she's gone away?
Don't think your priced posses
sions come,
Because you pinched and saved,
It may be twas her blessings
brought
The dollars you have saved.
"And when you go, don't worry
her,
About the cash it cost,
Nor of the sacrifice you've made,
Or of the time you've lost;
IF you would future years enjoy,
Just take your cherished store
And go and see your mothers,
boys,
And trust the Lord for more

Earth's Sweetest Name

No name on earth holds half the
charm,
AS the sweet name of mother.
A myriad memories round it
swarm,
My child-heart knows no other.
While through the long, long weary
years,
My feet have been a-roaming,
Sometimes mid smiles, sometimes
tears,
I've called back through the

Mother, Mother, Mother mine"
And somehow in the. calling,
I've seemed to hear a voice divine,
Like some sweet echo falling.
And as often as. I've called her
name.
perhaps l am mistakenly,
But somehow seems the answer
came,
And in my heart did wakcn.
4 Thrill of oeace, g. courage strong
LIES carking cares to smother,
And as the days and years roll long,
My heart is still calling: Moth
er."
| know not where life's road shall
end,
How long III have to wait.
l know not when this life shall
blend,
With that beyond the gate.
But this I know: some day, some
where,
Beyond Gods vaulted dome.
I'll see my mother most radiant
fair,
In her eternal home.
And through the ages endless long,
I'll join with her in singing,
The notes of some seraphic song.
Heavens welkin we'll keep ring

Is. What per cent did the con-
tracts signed by the Kentucky
farmer agree to advance? Answer:
There was no agreement in the
contracts of the Burley Tobacco
Growers Cooperative Association
agreeing to furnish any particular
amount, but the amount to be adj
vanced was decided by the officers
Of the association. who represented
the members Of the association. and
expert tobacco mel, representing
the banks who agree to furnish the
money.
IA. Who places the value on the
tobacco delivered TO the a>socia-
ton? Answer: Answered in ques-
ton thirteen.
IS. Does the farmer see his to-
bacco sold? Answer: No, unless
he wants to. The Burley Associa-
ton is not doing ANYTHING under
cover. and any member has a right
TO any information in regard TO
what The association is doing.
16. Can the farmer refuse to
accept the price the association
sells his tobacco at? Answer: No,
The members select tie directors in
their respective districts in whom
they have confidence. and those
directors direct the policy Of the
association. You might add to the
answer OF this question, what could
the farmer do under the old auc-
,ion system. if he did not accept
the price he got on public sales?

CAMPAIGN ON LOAF.
ERS TOBE CONTINUED
BY LOCAL POLICE
Several To be Brought Before City
Court Unless They Find Employ.
ment - Plenty Of Work
Offered.

That the local police expect to con-
tinue their drive against loafers fol-
lowing City Judge Harry c. Curran's
recent pronouncement, is shown by
the activity Of the local officers in
running down the professional loaf
ers of the city and giving them an op-
portunity to find employment them
selves before they are brought into
court and required to go to work or
leave the city.
On Tuesday the police had a lad,
who appeared to be IS or 20 years of
age but who claimed to be only 16. He
was cited as loafer and because of
his age was taken before Judge Pur-
nell, of the Juvenile Court, who also
let is be plainly known that youths in
this community must either 60 to
school or find some employment.
Local police had another man cited
Wednesday afternoon but no formal
charge was filed, the officers giving
the man an opportunity to find en-
ployment himself before bringing him
into court. However, 1t appears that
the police expect to take advantage of
the position Of both the city and the
Juvenile court in seeing that everyone
in Maysville works.

and debater.
Mr.. Goldstein Is announced as IAN
interesting speaker, gifted with a keen
penetrating intellect, marvellous
flow Of language, and trenchant, al
most cold-blooded way of driving fact
after fact right home to his hearers
He does not mince words, and every
sentence he uttera is given in a way
that almost forces assent
The Albuquerque, N. Mex, Morning
Journal said: 1T would have been
well II every young man and woman
in New Mexico could have heard this
forceful orator" The Rochester IN
" Post Express says: "Mr. Goldstein
is one of the foremost American
speakers against radicalism. His
knowledge OF his subject is so thor
ough and his manner OF imparting
that knowledge so clear and concise
as to make him a factor In the battle
against the foe of American institu-
tions. People should never miss an
opportunity to hear him"
One Of the great features of the
knights of Columbus free lectures is
its quiz period" when the audience
is invited to throw questions at the
speaker, be they Of doctrinal. his
torical. philosophical. or even a per-
sonal character. Speaking OF this fea-
ture of the lecturers work. the Post
Record OF Granite City. Ull) says:
"Goldstein's lecture perhaps never
had a parallel for straightforwardness
It was startling and far reaching
without doubt Goldstein is Won
derful man in his line. The fact that
he urged Interrogation while he was
present. instead of waiting until he
left town is further proof OF his ac-
curacy in making statements"

Great Britain and Japan will scrap
sS capital ships of total tonnage of
l,S61,643. The smaller number of ships

opened.
The treaty announced today is
mainly the same as the original Amer
lean proposals. 1t was victory for
he United States.
The treaty privdes for a 5-5-3-1.75-
LIS ratio in capital ship tonnage be-
tween the United States, Great Brit
ain, Japan, France and Italy, respec-
lively. The replacement tonnage basis
for these respective powers is 5000,
$4,000. 315.OOO. 175,OOO and 175,0OO
tons.
Ironclad rules and regulations are
embodied in the pact to see that the
ships to be scrapped actually are sent
to the junk heap.
The powers agree in the treaty that
f, during its duration the national
security of one Of the nations Is
threatened there will be a conference
of the signatory powers to consider
changes In the pact to meet the situa-
tion.
1t also Is provided that the United
States. in consultation with the other
lowers, shall call another conference
IF the signatory nations in eight years
. consider any needed changes in the
