First place in the Inland Empire
contest of churches for the song books
was won by Creston, Wn., Christian
Sunday school, which went over the
top with 1S4e6 increase in member
ship. Nezperee lost, but we lose with
smile for we were among the four
that were given honorable mention as
making the next best showing in the
contest. To try and lose is better than
to never have tried.
The Christian church Sunday school
wishes to thank all who 50 kindly as
sisted in our Mothers Day program,
and those whose efforts were response
BILE for this program. The program
was splendidly arranged and well Civ
en-. Below is the address given by
Van Emerson
Mothers Day.
After the death of her mother, in
May 1906, Miss Anna Jarvis of Phil
adelphia conceived the idea of dedi.
eating day to all mothers. She in.
terested many individuals and organi
cations and before the next anniver-
sary of her mothers death they had
decided that the second Sunday in
May should be set aside for the OBJ
servance of Mothers Day. Philadel-
phia was the first city to observe this
custom. On May 10, 1913, resolu-
ton was passed by the United States
senate and house of representatives
to make the second Sunday in May a
day dedicated to the memory of the
best mother in the world-your moth
er-for as it has been said, "other
folks can love you, but only your
mother can understand. - The second
Sunday in May is now observed in all
churches, irrespective of creed, as
q Mothers Day. and the preceding
Friday in all public schools. An i'm
ternational society for the observance
of this day was also organized through
the efforts of Miss Jarvis. Miss Jar
Wis also observed the first anniversary
of the death of her mother by wearing
white carnation which was her
mothers favorite flower. This start
ed the custom of wearing bright col
ored flower if your mother is living
and the wearing of white flower if
she is dead.
believe that we should observe
Mothers Day every day instead of
just one day in year, because as
Oliver Wendell Holmes said, "Youth
fades, love droops, leaves of friend
ship fall, but mothers secret hope
outlives them ALL believe that
nothing better portrays the love and
understanding of mother than Rud-
yard Kipling's poem, "Mother 20

In your section Of Alabama, a
number Of truck crops can be pro
duced during the late summer and
early foil VITA considerable adVan-
tage. These crops may even pass
through the winter successfully un-
less you have unusually severe
freezes.
Radishes may be planted any time
from August to November; rape or
kale may be planted from July to
October; rutabagas, from July to Sep
TENDER; spinach, from August to No
vember; Swiss chard, from August
to October; turnips, from August to
October; garden beets, from July to
September; cabbage, from June to
September; carrots, from July to Sep
TENDER; collards,. from June to Au-
gust lettuce, from July to Novem-
Der: onions, from September to No
vember; onions, from September to
November; parnips and English peas,
in August; Irish potatoes, in Au-
gust.
You will notice that quite a num-
Der of these truck crops will class
as green's" for which there is much
demand of course, and, If produced
at the season of the year indicated,
they generally come to market at a
time when there is not an over
abundant supply of other vegetables.
Where one has a piece of moist,
| bottom land, it can be used to advan-
| tage for the growth of crops of this
| kind. Dry uplands should be so sit
uated that irrigation may be prac-
| ticed, or else the crops planted there
| on will be liable to suffer from pro
! longed drouth periods. Truck crops
| do not thrive under such conditions
| and will seldom make the landowner
a profit.
| Comparatively little truck is grown
around our towns and cities. 1t is
surprising that this industry has
not been developed throughout the
south where our urban population is
i now rapidly increasing. There are
many locations where irrigation
could be practiced with success and
advantage at little expense. Under
| these conditions, we would advise
| one situated like yourself to under
take the cultivation of some stand
| ard truck crops.
OF course there is strong de-
mand for lettuce. 1t is a favorite
with the ladies for garnishing all
sorts of dishes, and it provides one
of our most desirable salad plants.
In your section, it would be best to
| plant the seed in cold frames and
| then transplant into the open field.
| The sooner you can have the plants
| ready to set out now, the better.
| The rows should be made about
eighteen inches apart in the rows.

two hundred feet of space in a cold

office or the store, are perfectly
unreasonable when they complain OF
being tired of an evening, and when
they want to stay at home and sit
up in silence trying to rest their
weary tongues and eardrums from
The incessant chatter they have been

SO | fear it will take another gen.
GRAFTON Of mothers, the women who
were in business when they were
young themselves, to understand
just how nerve-worn and weary 4
working girl is when she comes
home at night, and how it irrita ties
her to be asked questions and told
over and over again to do the same
thing.
DEAR MISS DIX--I am married
to man who makes only a mod
crate income, but he sends more
than half of it back to his people,
although his father and single broth
er are both able to work and coul {.
support tho family if they would Of
course, L have to deny myself many
things that | might have if we had
this money to spend, but I can't
make my husband see that his duty
is to his wife and children, instead
of to his brothers and sisters, or
that he should lay up something
with which to educa.s our children
when they are old-f. DO you think
that L am right?
WORRIED WIFE.
Answer:
When a man gets married his first
duty is to his own household. He
has no right to deny his wife and
children the things they need to
give to his family.
Yet many men do this In their
early youth they somehow get their
families fastened, like old men of
the sea, upon their backs, and they
never have the courage to shake
themselves free of the load. Nor
does the family ever seem to real
ize that they have no right to con-
tinue to make a pack horse of their
sons and brothers when they have
assumed other burdens.
Because John has always turned
over his money to the family, and
bought the girls pretty dresses and
paid the boys debts, they feel that
they continue to have a perfect
right to call on him for everything
they want as long as they live. And
John hasn't the nerve to say "Non'
and shut his pocketbOok. And so
Johns wife and children have to be
sacrificed to the family fetish.
OF course, man is obligated to
take care of his father and mother
when they are old and helpless, but
he certainly is not called upon to
support his husky brothers and sis
ters, and he does them a great
wrong if he encourages them in be.
ing parasites instead of independent
men and women.
Try to make your husband see
that he is being made the family
goat, and that the quicker he re-
signs the position the better for all
concerned.

Answer:
[ am afraid there isn't, my dear,
because mothers think that they
have a perfect right to supervise
every detail of their children's lives.
and they don't consider 1t naGginS
when they tell them a hundred times
what they think Of a thing. Harping
on the same subject is a maternal
prerogative that women refuse to
give up, no matter how maddenlng
it is to their children.
The lack of sympathy that moth
ers show for their daughters who
work outside of the home is to be
explained and excused by their iS-
norance. They have never been in
business themselves and they have
not the faintest conception of what
it means to stand all day behind the
counter, or bend over a typewriter,
or walk a million miles, more or
less, peacocking around in model
hats and dresses, trying to please
grouchy bosses, and to induce
peevish customers to buy.
To the mother, going downtown
to see pretty things, and mingle in
the crowds, is a lark, and she never
gets over the belief that business
is a perpetual picnic. Therefore,
she thinks that her husband and
her daughter, who have been at the

tiyes | would be glad to hear from them.
