EASTER
FEC INFORMATION.

One Of the Times-Recorder's
Exchanges tells of fellow over
at Spartanburg, S. c., who knows
of another man in that town,
fellow townsman of his, S. R.
Padget by name, who has proved
bv many tests that no egg laid on
Easter Sunday will hatch. A still
stronger "fact" our exchange
goes to state, is that an egg laid
on Easter Sunday is afflicted
with St. Vitus dance" and that 1t
viii "jump about over the surface
of table as though tickIed to
death on being born on such
holy day"
Now this reminds US that it is
about time for the hoop-snakes to
come out of their winter quarters
and start rolling over the land.
Further, we are minded to offer
prize consisting of shell-rimmed
mayonaise crackers to the first
person who reports seeing one of
these common but rare varieties of
the genus snakus.

NAVY CUTS WAGES
WHILE II. c. L. SCARS.

On the heels of statements by
Secretary Hoover of the Depart
ment OF Commerce and Secretary
Davis of the Department Of La
Dor that prosperity" had at last
returned, thousands of mechnics
employed under the Secretary of
the Navy, another of President
Harding's official family, have
suffered a considerable reduction
in their wages. The officials of the
several labor unions to which these
employees belong are complaining
against the decrease in wages at a
time when prices of all commo-
dities are kiting skyward.
About $500 men working in the
Navy Yard in Washington, D. c.,
are affected by the order, which
was issued following the submis-
sion Of a report to Assistant Sec
retary of the Navy Roosevelt by
the Wage Board Of the Navy De
partment and its approval by him.
Decreases have been made in the
wages of six classes Of mechanics.
The pay of those in three classes
has been raised and the wages of
the other classes remain STATIC
nary.
The cost Of living in Washing
ton is higher than that of almost
any other city in which navy yards
are operated The new scale means
a decrease in pay for practically
all Of the employees of the Wash
ington Navy Yard, since it either
diminishds their wages outright
or compels them to work for their
old hourly rates while food, cloth
ing, fuel, rents and everythirt,
they use is growing dearer.

FINE MOTHERS
DAY TRIBUTE.

It's plum blossom time, Out ON
the back porch a woman stands
and shades her eyes with her hand
while she looks lovingly down the
expanse of the yard to the cloud
of pink scent that rises from the
thicket. Her hair is parted and
combed straight past her ears, she
has Observation-Disclosures
gingham apron tied round her
ample waist. She is clean and tidy
and sweet, and she loves the
springtime as she loves all things
the Great Giver of good bestows.
1t is Mother! No, not your
mother, Master Twenty-one, but
the mother of US oldboys. Weknow
your Ma is just as pretty as a pic
ture, and as young looking as her
youngest daughter, but somehow
she doesn't hold a candle to that
mother of the checked gingham
apron, resting her eyes for min
ute on the plum thicket of yore.
Honor her? Each year brings
her nearer, and we viii know we
are closer to her on this Mothers
day than ever before. Wear
flower? Why, we'd fill a bushel
basket full Of poises and scatter
them on all the ladies fair just to
fetch her mild sweet smile near
enough to catch.
Some day, Sir Twenty-one,
you'll feel lust like the editor on
Mothers day. You'll more than
honor that mother of yours; you'll
think she was sweeter than any
mother you ever knew, and you'll
love the memory of her in the
cleanest passion that ever swept
mans soul.-Modern Woodman.

PLENTY WORRY
AWAITS OSCAR.

Perhaps in preparation for
strenuous time through The 13
months preceding the next Demo.
cratic convention, Senator Oscar
w. Underwood, Of Birmingham
Ala, is putting in the LATEST
vacation Of anyone mentioned as
q 1924 presidential possibility.
Oscar and Mrs. Underwood are
enjoying complete rest" at Fun.
Ecasi MADEIRA, some 400 miles
Of the west coast Of Morocco. No
politics, no question about the
League Of Nations, not even the
news about the G. 0. p. schism
over the world court, penetrates
the all peTading peace Of his
retreat.
Life in Funschal, the Under
woods have written back TO
friends in the states, * peaceful
and primitive When they wish to
go Tldlng they are tucked into
baskets swung between ta,o
oxen-a sort Of wicker hammock
affair. This cquipage cover
mile in something less than an
hour. As exercise il. is slightly
less strenuous than travelling cam
el-back but imparts about she
same up-and-down-back-and forth
motion, so those say who have
tried it. Once accustomed to this
mode Of getting about, one is for
ever immune to sea sickness.
Which caustic observers who do
not view the Underwood boom
enthusiastically announced, may
be the explanation of Oscars So
journ in Funschal. Maybe he's
getting all set for a tempestuous
trip up Salt river! The ides of more
than twelve months hence will tell
the tale.

As the lily in all it's glory.
Never task but you would endure
Never too tired for a story
At night when you fondled my weary
head,
There was never touch like thine.
You'u ever live through the prayers,
I've said
Mother Of mine.
Mother of mine, as through life's
byways
tread in all sorts of weather
I'll think Of the good old oy-gone
days
When you and walked together.
So onward / 20 through the years to
come
With a thought, in my soul divine
7 long for home and l long for you'
Mother of mine.
