Tribute Paid
Mother Love

with a cup of clear, pure water from
the old family well.)
Here's to mother, whose name is
music. And when that name is on
my tongue life's fretful fevers die
and / am calm. heavenly poesy is
in that name No name of princess
or of queen could mean so much to
me- Her ministries of tenderness
were as gentle as the drops of dew
Something of the Everlasting Mercy
is in the nature and the name of
mother.
Your faithfulness by day was like
the rising suns of morning Your Wig
lis by night and the watching stars
Lit the skies. Unconquerable was
your modest and unboasting bravery
Your gentle services were as delight
full and as def as the gentle finger
ings of the sunbeams among the
lilies. So unpretentiousIy you dropped
your splendors everywhere. And
like the apple blossoms of the Nav
your spirit shed fragrance all
around. To your child's eyes your
hluuiy IdNe was int a SUM iSt dID
your voice was sweeter far than
morning bells. Mother, on this holy
day of memory, 1t all comes back
again TO me.
Here's to you, Mother, who wax
ened and watched while others slept
while others rested you toiled on
when others had forgotten you still
remembered. and though wearied with
the long days toll you bowed above
my dr0wsy couch and rested me &C.
sleep by that holy. goodnight kiss
| hear the soothing music yet of your
sweet luilaby--"H angels guard
thy bed" And ] think, In answer to
your prayer those shining watchers
must have protected me through all
these after years
Much that hoped and dreamed
is yet quite unfulflled, but the light of
your love has never dimmed or died
Or here or yonder that torch divine
In spite of darkness and of storm
must shine forever on. The hand
that lit that Star of Love can never
more forget to guide, and hold. and
heal. That Master Hand is master
of all shadows and of storms.
Here's to you. Mother, In memory
of my cradle days, in memory of my
childhoOd's days of play; In memory
of the after years of triumph or dis
may; in memory of laughter. of la
Dor, of love, and In memory OF those
mystic days of sometimes strangely
mingled peace and paiE; here's to
you, Mother, here's to you. My mem
DRY of you shall be lasting and long
And on this memory day my full
heart is homing to you. / kiss your
brow again today or fling winged
kiss across the miles. Here's to you,
Mother, here's to you! For you ]
give undying thanks and lift my
prayer of love. Here's to you, Moth
or. here's to you.-Charles Coke

Debt to Mother
Hard to Repay

The debt which the world owes to
the mothers of America will never
be fully known, much less repaid.
Their contribution to the history of
freedom is one of those intangible
quantities not easily defined nor ac-
curately appraised Yet it lies back
of much of the worthwhile accom-
plishment that makes the history of
our country. Trace the careers of
men who bulk large in the building
of America and you find woven into
their character the influence of moth
ers who had faith in their sons, faith
in their country and faith in their
country's God.
We have come into a new age
which grants to women a larger place
In the affairs of mankind. Some Of
the ideals associated with woman
hood have changed with changing
times. We no longer insist on that
measure Of self-effaeement thought
proper for the women of another gen
Grafton. But no one can imagine a
state of affairs wherein self-sacrific-
ing motherhood will not be exalted
or the contributions of motherhood
to the state not acknowledged with
loving remembrance.
Yet it is to mothers individually
rather than to mothers impers0nally
that the devoted tributes of Mothers
day are paid. One thinks of his own
mother and, If possible, sends her
some token of his thought. He ap-
preciates what other mothers have
done and are doing toward making
this a better society, but his act of
devotion is to the particular mother
who brought him into the world, pro
tected him when helpless, inspired
him to strive, blessed him as be start
ed out in the world and never ceases
watching out for his welfare as long
as life remains.
MEN are what their mothers made
them" wrote Emerson. America is
great because the mothers of Ameri-
can men and women have been great.
Today we recall what the mothers of
Washington, of Lincoln. Of Grant of
Lee, meant to their generation. But
we recall even more wildly what our
own mothers have meant and still
mean to us. And with full hearts
we pay them tribute

won their first $125 baseball June 8.
This is the first trophy of its kind in
the athletic field that the Center boys
have won. The gift came to them
through the American Legion, being
given to the Legion to be given to
those teams whose entry was in, up
to date, and complete, before June Is.
Mr.. Ray Feltman, an Omaha leader
among the kiddies, gave the ball. He
expressed the desire that the boys to
whom these balls were given would
use their best skill, department and
sportsmanship upon the field, thereby
rejecting credit upon the Legion and
the institution under whose colors
they served.
The ball will be used as a souvenir,
to be placed in the Center with the
names of the boys of the team at
tached. The following boys compose
the junior team, all under Is years
old:
Edwin Smith, George Starnes,
Marcy Williams, st. Clair Breakfield,
Johnnie Hodges, Elmer Washington,
Alfred Liggins, Valrie Johnson, Tro-
lis Harris, Louis Harris, Delmar Dod-
son, and Tommie West.
This team to date is the only color
ed team registered in the Legion Jun
Tor league. Mr.. c. A. Stewart, who
is an energetic worker at the Center,
is the manager of this team.

GIRL RESERVES AT

of August 1926. Minerva Layton
attended camp the previous week.
None of these had been at camp
before, except on a picnic. When
they arrived Saturday night, all the
girls in the living-room seemed to
know each other. They played a few
games to get acquainted, but from
the beginning there was a feeling of
personal contact for years. Next
day, after setting-up exercises, flag
raising and breakfast, they we're
free up to the time of church SER

outdoor nature. In the afternoon
the feeling of lonesomeness and
inconsistencies pressed heavier. At
that time any of them would have
gone home without regrets. But the
change came Sunday night when
they were initiated with a candle

PROGRESS ON ROAD
DetOur To Beach Will Be Arranged
Which Will Cause But Little In
convenience To Pubic.

The Walter Roach Company, con-
tractors for the Slaughter Beach
Highway, is making rapid progress
in grading and preparing the road
bed. The laying of concrete will be-
gin about October 1st. The con-
tractor expects to commence the
work at the lower end on the Reed
farm, and work toward the Milford
Rehoboth Highway. George Shock
ley, of Rehoboth, who made such
rapid progress on the Ocean View
bridge in July, has been engaged to
construct the timber bridge over the
canal. Material will be assembled
on the ground and the old bridge
will not be closed until everything
is in readiness to start construction
work on the new structure. John
Kitchens, State Highway Engineer
in charge of the work, has arrang-
ed a detour which will be properly
marked. The detour will be made
around the Winter Bennett farm,
through Slaughter Neck to the Clea-
yer farm on the Slaughter Beach
road. From this point roadway
will be maintained along side the
concrete under construction as far
as the old causeway. 1t is now plan
ned to let the causeway remain as it
is until the completion of the pave
ment, at which time an amiesite
roadway will be laid from the fin
ished concrete on to the beach.
