MOTHERS DAY.
BY Charles Scanlon.

BY general agreement one Sabbath
in May is set apart as Mothers Day.
| or all red-letter days none will en-
counter less opposition or be more gen.
orally observed, in spirit at least, and
engender more good will and kind
| thoughts than this day.
Here and there is an unnatural
mother and perhaps more frequently
unnatural children who do not feel
the tender love and affection and
gratitude commonly characteristic Of
the race. No tribute which would not
exhaust language OF its most sacred
| terms Of affection can describe the
feeling entertained by all normal hu-
man beings toward mothers. No sac
rifice is too great, no burden too heavy,
no task too prolonged, no shame so
great that the average mother will not
endure and brave il all for the sake
Of her child. The greatest men and
the noblest women whom the world
has ever known honored themselves
in honoring their mothers.
Mother may be poor and old-fash-
toned and of homely features accord
/ ing to the common standards Of beau
! ty, but so long as she lives she de-
serves and will receive the grateful
affection and tenderest care of those
to whom she has given being. But it
is not simply the fact that every child
has been nurtured beneath some
mothers heart that maks her queen
/ over all, but the Offices Of love and
tenderness and devotion which she has
/ performed for her children that con-
stitute a debt they can never pay.
If these words come to the atten-
| ton Of anyone who is absent from
home and has not written to his or her
mother for long time we beseech
II you dwell in the old home with her
such an one to do so before sleeping.
and have not expressed your apprec-
iation and love and gratitude to her
lately, do so Immediately and with
such honesty and sincerity and nat
uralness that il will warm her loving
heart as it has not been warmed per-
haps in years. Do not withhold from
her, while her ears can hear and her
eyes can see and her heart can feel,
those tokens of love which belong to
her and the giving of which will en-
rich your own heart beyond measure
However high your station, how
ever exacting your work, however dis
tant you may be, take time and make
opportunity to open your heart to her
as you did in the years long gone when
she kissed away your childish sor-
rows and soothed and comforted your
childish fears.
The nearest approach to a spark of
divinity in this world is that mother
OF yours. II she is still in the flesh,
write to her or speak to her tonight,
it she has passed into the great be-
yond, honor some other mother and
encourage others to do so.

Make Fertilizer From Debris.

1t is very wasteful not to run a
compost heap in connection with a
garden, for even in small place the
amount of vegetable debris is sur
prisingly large.
To start it, select a convenient but
inconspicuouS corner and on il throw,
through the entire season, all easily
rotting vegetable waste-pea pods, corn
husks, lawn clippings, ETC.; occasional.
ly scatter on little lime. Add, when
cleaning up in the fall, all the garden
clutter-bean and tomato vines, cab
bage stumps, etc.-everything but corn
stalks, which decay very slowly; also
add leaves, with the exception Of very
tough, leathery ones. Never add pro-
mlscuous lawn or garden rakings con-
tanning sticks, bits Of glass, stones,
etc. This is an unforgiveable offense
In the eye Of a gardener who takes
pride in his work.
If the "heap" is within eye range,
plant a few sunflowers on the house
side; or sow two or three seeds Of rum
ming squash, cucumbers or nasturtiums
at the base; the rich earth, soon FORM
ed, proves fine forcer, and we have
produced some of our very best GU
cumbers from vines planted as such a
screen. Each spring sift out the un-
decayed material with spading fork,
and what is left will be rich, dark
humus, splendid for scattering among
bulbs and perennials and for replac,
ing wornout earth.

class, Miss Ruth Myers, teacher, at
Miss Maddox's home Saturday after
noon, April 18th. These two classes
number about twenty-five in the Twill
la M. E. Sunday school, and to say
we had good time is hardly enough
to express it. 1t was still better than
that, for after games, etc, we were
sent to see what old Easter rabbit had
left for us and, oh; basket for every
one and filled, too. So, with all the
icecream that had gone before, what
more could an intermediate want We
will come again, Miss Evelyn and Miss

HARDWOOD TO TRY
 FOR AMERICAN TITLE
Australian Golfer Is in Glass h, Him. self When IL Comes 10 Making
 Fancy Shots.

Chicago, April s.-There are tricks in all trades, but In golf at least the tricks do not spell supremacy as cX- emplihed by the trick shot golfer Joe kirkwood, Australian open champion. now touring America with the intetn- ton Of trying for the open title at Chicago this summer.
 kirkwood can perform seemingly impossible tricks with q golf ball and a butter, mashlc or driver, but, whic he plays splendid game he has not been able to equal any Of the leading Yankee golfers. He does not drive as far as Bob Gardner, or approach Of putt as well as dozen American players.
 He can drop a half dozen balls in a straight line and with a mashie pitch the farthest one into the hole pre- cisely and thus continue down the line until all disappear within the IA inch can. But when he plays regular round Of golf he putts no better than many other good players and picks up no strokes by reason of his wizardry.
