Mothers Day

There has CT late been movement to change
the designation of Mothers Day. as applied to-
Hay 13 to Parents Day"
cie in favor of this change believe that Ia
theirs are beng neglected. The fact is there IS
q special Fathers Day too-but somehow or
ether that day has not become as widely known
as is 'Mothers Day
Mothers Day falls on May Is. The time IS ap-
proaching Let us all prepare to 90 honor TO our
mothers-and blessed are these OF us WHOSE
mothers are still among the living!
It seems to us that though Parents Day
NAV be pretty good idea, mother certainly oe
serves day all to herself!
The argument in our opinion should not
hinge ON changing the designation OF the oay'
but should hinge the necessity Tor CLOSER
observance of Fathers Day.
There is something about the very "oios
"Mother's Day"-that creates noble inspiring
emotion within us and engulfs us with reverence
and love.
On this day we express our respect ana aao-
eehffr4h livery lay IL the year we
should do things to make mothers happy
this day we pick the one on which we are to
be more considerable even than on any other day.
1t seem to us as though Mothers Day must
remain.
If it officially becomes Parents Day, it will
still be Mothers Day to us in our heart OF hearts
and father will feel the same way aoout it.

Behemoth of Steel!
Goliath, with power superb
Roaring and rumbling in your loins,
Man, the pigmy, walks before you,
Stupetled by your enormous strength,
Wondering at your unconquerable endurance
Marvelling at your willingness.
Man tanned quadrupeds have scattered
Lowing the treadmill and the chariot,
Leaving the pillow forgotten in the furrow-
Gone from the stanchions forever,
The forgotten herds sleep in the dust
! GU hvae mired down four thousand score
of horses;
Straining at stubborn traces,
Nostris aflame, backs arched to breaking,
They have fallen before you, giant,
And yet your troces never sacken.
Man, the pigmy, walks before you
Munching his food of earth stems,
AND feeding into your Unsuitable NAV
Old earth STEMS now of sterner fabric;
Coal once bloom of flowers and trees
lNutured by prehistoric sunshine
Beaten down by prehistoric rains
In the dim shadows of the earth dawn
7 et q giant of steel, you are the pgmy,
For man is your maker and your master
Man wrenched from the bowels of the earth
The plasms of your tireless body
Mon alchemist, forged your sinews,
Fashioned your great bulk and girded your loins !;
Man. the pigmy, conceived and ordered
The stupendous metabolism of your life.
You were man conceived and man born,
And through dark ages the labor pains persisted.
NOW, IN the richness of his own time,
Man, the pigmy who bore you,
Sets you to work at long tasks,
Tightening the load borne on human shoulders.
Giving to human needs and flooding
The hants OF men with sunlight from dead ages
You are the superhuman giant-chid,
Braln-begotten of human parents, pigmies
beside you. = n z,s
Yet so much is man your master
That, having created you to serve him,
In the fitness of time he will discard YOU.
You shall sleep in the dust forgotten quad
rupeds,
And new child, brain-born of he pigmy,
VIII mire you down, still straining at the traces.

Douglas and environs drawn by
Emory Cobb, of Phoenix, were sur.
prised to learn yesterday that the
maps are not allowed the mailing
privilege. The bar is placed against
them by the u. s. postal department
because there are places advertised
in Aqua Prieta where intoxicants are
sold and the reference is so specific
as to constitute a bar, in the view
of the postal authorities.
The matter was brought to the
attention Of the local postal author
tiles and it not being within their
jurisdiction to pass finally upon the
merits of the case, it was submitted
to the department at Washington
with request for an opinion, a
copy of the map being submitted with
the request. The department promptly
with statement in which it under
scored the objectionable phrases In
the advertising and mentioned the
specific sections of the law which
made them uninailable
