It has been set aside as the day on
which to honor the best mother who
ever ived-your mother. Its object
is to recall the. memories of the
mothers who have gone and through
loving words and loving care to
brighten the lives Of the mothers
who remain.
The white carnation is the Mothers
dny flower, It's whiteness stands
for purity; its form. beauty and
fragrance for love: its wide field OF
growth. charity: its lasting qualities.
faithfulness-a1 a true mothers
virtues.
Since the founding OF Mothers day
by Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia,
the custom of its celebration has
spread over the continent You may
read below some of the Mothers day
sentiments as they have been ex-
pressed by the poets:
Who'll wear q rose for Mothers DAY,
A half oped rose and white:
Plucked in the morning while the dew
That gathered over night.
To kiss its petals like a gem
In its pure heart appears,
, AS pure and sweet as a mother love,
AS rare as mothers tears?
JUDD MORTIMER LEWIS
We breathed it first with lisping
tongue,
When Graded in her arms we lay:
Fond memories round that naIne are
hung,
That will not. cannot pass away.
We breathed 1t then, we breathe 1t

More dear than sister. friend or
brother,
The gentle power. the magic thrill,
Awakened at the name Of Mother.

The Warbler Family.

The robin and the bluebird have
been settled in their nests a month
or more and are busy at rearing
young ones before the many MEM
bers of the large warbler family
make their appearance. But about
this time in May, you will begin to
see them among the wild cherry
and lilac bushes, late arrivals from
the islands of the Caribbean, the
Gulf of Mexico and the heart of
South America where they winter.
The wood warblers and all their
various family connections are in
general tiny birds which are sell
dom seen on the ground. choosing
rather to swing in treetops or hide
themselves in the depths Of shrub
berry. They are called soft-billed
birds. as they possess very slender.
delicate beaks adapted to picnick-
ing on silky cocoons or fresh bee
ties rather than pecking about in
tho soil for their dinners. The
warbler's frai~ bill would be easily
smashed if used in the way the
sparrow, for instance, uses his.
Many of the warblers have yell
low and black combinations of col
oring, but there are distinct mem
bers with plumage Of fanciful var
iety and manifold hues- The high
range of their song is remarkable,
being above the highest tones Of
the keys on a piano. Perhaps it is
because they are small and are
therefore at the mercy of larger
birds that nigh attack them that
they travel the thousands. of miles
