1t is a fine thing to wear pinl
or white carnation for Mothers day
Sunday, May 12, but still finer ont
to do something appropriate to'th'
day.
There is always a tendency
among the young people to look al
their parents as old-fashioned. The
children tell them that they do moi
understand present conditions, sc
the parental advice is often re
jected. A great many young people
have gotten into trouble because
they thus disregarded the wise
counsel that was given to them
Mothers day is a good time to ask
ourselves if the ideals which our
mothers cherished for us were not
good ones, and if we have done well
in setting them aside as much as we
have done.
If ones mother is living, some
thing should be done to show her
how much one appreciates all the
sacrifice and effort she has made
for her children. And If the mother
has gone, one ccSild we'll take a'lIit-
tie time to thiHk of her memory,
and OF the things she hoped her
children would do and become, and
try to live up to that expectation.
Many of us go along year after
year without expressing much af-
fection for our mothers. 1t lis often
difficult to put such thoughts into
words. Many of Es thus fail ito show
how much we care for them, and
then some day when they leave IHs,
we bitterly regret that we have mot
done more for them, and have mot
shown more devotion in return for
all that was laxished ON tus.
The time Ito show such affecti8n.is
when our mothers are with us, and
not when they have gone beyond our
reach. Let us give lavishly cof our
affection and our service to our liv-
ing mothers, so that they can have
no doubt of our love. Let us antici-
pate their every need, and lfOrestall
the difficulties they have to meet in
their declining years. And then af-
ter they have gone, let us see to it |
that our lives conform to the ambi-
tions they had for us, and are
worthy of all they gave us.

CENTER ADVANTAGES /
It is a wonderful asset for a city
or town to have a group of efficient |
retail stores, which are serving the
public good merchandise at fair
prices, and giving customers the
benefit of the personal experience
and information about merchandise
hat can be obtained from the sales
people or proprietor of these stores. (
If the people of community had
10 group of stores that could live up
% that description, they would pay 4
argely to get them. They would
make some very generous pledges 4

t is quite probable that they would
Jay considerable more for their {
goods if necessary, just to obtain '
lone stores which should offer am {
lie stocks which could be examined t
Without having to go out of town. {
If we did not have such a group t
f stores in Milford we should be
anxious to get them. 1t
yould save us money to have them, u
ven if we paid more for the goods, il
ecause of the convenience of OBJ il
lining those goods at home. h
We already have these stores, and Il
q do not have to make any sacri- IL
ces to get or keep them. And we hi
} not have to pay any more if we

think we pay less, since they do th

asonable, which reduces the cost tn
