GLENDALE HAPPENINGS
MOther's Day

MOther'S Day
Sunday. May IA. has been desig
mated as Mothers Day.
1t was happy thought whicl
came to Miss Anna Jarvis, whicl
caused her to present a petition t.
the Congress of the United Stptei
asking that body of men to sit aside
a day in each year to be known a!
Mothers Day." SO the second Sun
day in May Is now celebrated in this
country as Mothers Day"
The churches vie with each othel
as to (which can produce the mOsI
lasting memorials to mothers, both
living and dead
A mothers love never dies. Chill
dren may wander away from home
Some may sink deep in the scale oI
human degradation. causing many
tears and heartaches, but mother S
love will follow them TO the end
Who can measure the depths of a
mothers love? Only those in part
who have been thrown GSii9 by the
world. who stand alone without one
show of sympathy by aGy one, per-
haps the crime committed is great,
but no difference how great a mo-
theirs love intervenes and would
gladly take upon herself the punish
ment that should be meted out to
her girl or boy.
The world moves on--tOO fast
sometimes we think. yet there will
always be- those mothers whose
very lives are wrapped up in love for
their offspring and no distance is
too great that they will not go to
aid those of their loved ones who
may be in distressed circumstances
and needing help.
The writer who is a man past four
score years, yet in my minds eye
can see my mother as she used to
sit by the wide open fire place in
the old homestead. knitting socks
for her wayward boys.
Mother! May hearts swell with
emotion at that name for at their
mothers knee they learned to lisp
their first evening prayer.
If you have a mother who Is liv-
ing, go and see her ON Mothers
Day. no difference how far off, take
q bunch of white flowers and make
her heart glad.
If she is dead. go to her grave
and scatter over her grave the pur-
est white flowers you can get. You
may think they don't know, per-
haps not. or they may be looking |
this way.
Markets Around Glendale
The rapid advance i'm the price of |
wheat and corn makes farmers who |
have these commodities to sell feel
somewhat elated.
Chickens. while somewhat low.
seem to make few dollars for the |
raiser. EGGS are II cents per dOz-
en-. At this low price people can af-
ford to cat them.
All kinds of meats have advanced |
several cents per pound. Hams are
retailing at 16 cents per pound and |
other kinds of pork at similar ad-
vance.
Potatoes and onions are very |
cheap. Home grown asparagus has |
at 20 cents per bunch.
Our market is fairly well sup |
piled with southern fruits and veg
etables and are selling at reasOn-
able prices.
Fish have been abundant for the
past few days. trout and hardheads
can be bought at very low figures.
II a person has the money TO spend
they can live very cheaply at the
present time. but ii looks as If the
market will be higher in the near
future.
Farmers Busy
The farmers around Glendale
have been very busy of late getting
the land ready for the planting OF
corn which will commence next
week. This refers especially to those
who have highland farms. The low
land farmers have been retarded by
ran of late. so that they are not as
far advanced as those residing on
highland places. But there is plenty
of time for the low land farmers to
plant their corn. Some don't think
of planting corn until about June
10. The writer can remember when
most of the plowing was done in
March and most of the corn planted
the first of April-that was before
the advent of tractors and other i'm
proved farm machinery.
Brush Burning
Our firemen have been busy the
past week in aiding the farmers to
burn their brush. On Wednesday of
last week they went to the farm OF
Elmer Short and on Thursday to the
home of John Lindale and assisted
both in burning their brush. They (
we're treated royalty wherever they '
went.
