Our first love and our most lasting,
Growing stronger through the years,
Mothers, this day we Fay tribute,
To your joys and to your tears.
Tribute for the things you taught us,
How to know the right from wrong,
Fer your guidance of our footsteps,
As we blindly groped along.
For the anxious hours Of watching, -.
Through the long and weary night,
For the cheering words you gave u.s.
When we weakened in life's fight
Through the years you shared our sorrows,
But joys sometimes missed,
All too often youth is thoughtless,
And forgets the lips they kissed.
Whether rich in your dear presence,
Or if you have gone above,
Mothers all, we now salute you,
From our hearts o'crwhelmed with love.
May we strive to keep our footsteps,
In the pathway you have trod,
Knowing then your heart is gaddened, -s
And wanderings lead to God.

The Filler Rural High Schoo
eleven won its first game of the sea
son Friday by defeating Castleford
"a TO 0. While an easy victory fol
Filler, the game was loosely play ed
and much carelessness was in evi.
dence during the game.
Although the score was large the
victory must not be overestimated
This is Castleford's first year in foot

tice. Considering the handicap,
Castleford made good showing and
should receive credit for being a
plucky aggregation.
During most OF the game. Filer's
men made a creditable showing.
making yardage at will through
Castleford's line.
At times. however. they lacked the
snap and the pep which goes TO make
up corking good eleven.
Shoshone Here Friday
The game this coming Friday with
Shoshone bids fair to be a real fight
from whistle TO whistle. Ed Hall
and Bus Adkins have reported for
practice but may be ineligible for
Fridays game because of back
school work. Without them Filler
will have difficulty in defeating Sho-
shone.
Shoshone lost its first game of the
season Friday TO Gooding by score

ported to have one of the best teams
in the association this year. Sho-
shone will come here prepared 10
overcome its defeat of last week and
nothing but real football will keep
IL from doing that very thing.
Probable Lineup
No definite Information could be
obtained yesterday on Fridays line
up but It is probable that Charles
Lapp will fill his old position al
quarterback, with Gordon Diehl or
Bus Adkins at fullback. Robertson.
Love. Murphey and Moore will prob
ably change off at the half back posi-
tions. with Durnell and Brown also
waiting their chance in the back !
field.
Louie Ennis and Red Thompson at /
ends, Russell Hall and Roy Landreth /
at tackles. Floyd Small and Ted /
Hicks at guards and Elmer Adkins /
at center will probably make up the
line. Fred Conant has been out of
practice this week on account OF
sickness and is not expected to be in
condition to start the game Friday.
A number OF other players who
have been turning out regularly for
practice will probably be in action
before the game is over because
Coach Denman wants to give every
man a chance to show his fight.
The game will start promptly at
3 80 o'clock at which time Filler foot
ball fans will get to see the first real
game OF the season.
