Once again the Nation pauses from its hurly bury of business it's pains of growing recovery US strife and all of the routine affairs Of everyday life to pay it's devotion to Mother On the morrow we turn our thoughts with sincere reverence, the utmost of devotion to her who throughout our lives has subordinated all care for and though of herself to us. No day of our lives passes but that we are reminded of her present love for us. So it is meet that We set apart this one day to be wholly hers
 No human emotion is as undyng, unsefish, as pure as the love of mother for her child. It is the one human attribute that approaches the essence of divinity No one of us is worthy of it and our worth has no place in its bestowal Be we good, or indifferent or bad mothers love is the thing that remains steadfast, the refuge that cannot be taken from by anything we may do or that others may do to us.
 Throughout our lives, she is guiding Star, the greatest influence for good the greatest incentive to achievement of worthwhile things, that we may have. If we falter must at times, if we fail utterly as too often is the case, if fall into debased ways we hurt mother but do not lessen her love rather it seems to have increased her capacity to shelter and comfort through it.
 So tomorrow, we take thought of these and many other things. We do not pretend to understand or comprehend them for they are among the things that "passeth understanding" We rejoice in them In humble spirit, we are thankful for them Without them civilization would vanish and the world become habtaton of wild beasts For the mothers who have gone on to fairer, better land, we wear flowers of white and bow reverently in memory of them And for the living the flower of red is worn while in halting words try to voice the tribute of love we feel for her

HOSPITALS RANK WITH CHURCHES
 AND SCHOOLS.

We admire and proud of the wonderful progress made by the civilized world in every branch of scientific and mechanical achievement during the last half century. Now it is acknowledged by all that America holds front rank among the most progressive and civilized nations today
 Yet the foundations of civilization, it should be conceded by every thoughtful man, do not rest wholly upon science and mechanics, but especially upon Religion and Education. Education develops the qualities of the mind and fits it for further research in the mysteries of Nature Religion de- velops the qualities of the heart and fits man for his finer relations with his Creator and his fellow men Without these qualities of the heart, summed up in Hove of God and man have but little claim to be called civilized Newman defines gentleman One who needessly gives pain and we might add. either to God man."

 Interest continued to grow in the fourth annual public rehearsal of the Juneau Ladies Musical club, which was to be given in the Ju- neau theatre during the week. One of the great drawing cards was to be the violin solo by Willis E. Novel;. Others who were to appear on the program were Mrs. H. P. Crowther, Miss Crystal Snow, Mon- te Snow, Mrs. C.. M. Simpkins, and double trio with Mesdames E. H. Kaser, J. F. Malony, w. E. Novel;, Charles Garfield, and H. L. Faulkner. The money to be de- rived from the entertainment was to be donated to the library fund.
 Hardy's Front Street shooting gallery attracted the attention of many Juneau shots and each week a prize was hung up for the best exhibition of craftsmanship. Mar tin Lynch, E. P. Kindall, T. c. Shearer, Turrell and P. s. Rowe were tied for first honors for the previous week and those tied for second place were l.. M. Morris, E. Beleale, c. E. Lovegrove, A. Fransen, J. L. Museth, A. H. Joy, A. H. ziegler, Dr R. c. Manthus, and Arthur Weston. The ties was to be shot off during the day

Heated Water Treatment
Kills Disease in Seed

Putting cabbage seed in heated wa
ter for % minutes kills black leg,
black rot, leaf spots, and other cab
bage-destroying fungi, according to
DR.. Charles Chupp, specialist in vege-
table diseases at the New York state
college Of agriculture.
An 1S-minutes bath in water at 122
degrees will also kill diseases common
to cauliflower, brussels sprouts, and
turnips, he says. The one objection to
this treatment is that old seed will not
sprout well later Seedsmen and grow
ers, according to Professor Chupp, may
lose by this process for short time,
but the loss, he says, is more than
offset by development of disease-free
plants.
He states that most seedsmen In
New York state are having their seed
treated and tested, and adds that can
neries and creameries are permitting
seedsmen to use the cannery water
heating equipment to make the treat
ment.
Work on cabbage diseases began in
this state four years ago, when farm
ers In Ontario county asked for help in
saying one-tenth of their cabbage
crop which they were losing by plant
diseases.

Cleaning Cistern,
Ready for Spring
Suction Attachment to Pump
Will Remove Sediment,
Save Water.
BY p. W. Lehman, Agricultural Engineer
ing Department, University OF Illinois.
NMMII garuica

WNU Service.
Soft water Is both labor saver and
a money saver for the home and 1t
need not be lost or wasted in order
to clean out the cistern and get 1t
ready for the spring rains.
To be sure it may be desirable to
clean the cistern thoroughly before the
soft water supply for the home is COL
lected during the early spring rains.
However, If the cistern is reasonably
full of water, the problem of cleaning
becomes a difficult one, especially IL
the water is needed and must be saved.
Under such circumstances, it is nee
essary to use special pump so that
the accumulation at the bottom may
be removed without disturbing the
contents of the cistern, except just at
the bottom. This is accomplished by
having a pump with special funnel
shaped suction attachment at the bot
tom of the pipe. AS the pump is oper-
ated, the suction unit is moved around
over the floor so the material which
has settled at the bottom may be
pumped out. In this manner, much Of
the waste and foul material may be re-
moved and the water made more sat
isfactory for use without losing or
wasting the present supply.
If it is not necessary to save the
present supply in the cistern, more
thorough job may be done by pumping
out all the, water. In this case the
walls may be brushed down, the els
tern floor scrubbed and all refuse re-
moved completely.
Little attention need be given the
cistern, if proper precaution is taken
in collecting and filtering the supply.

Test Seed Corn

Testing seed corn will be a profit
able pastime this spring on many
farms where seed was not well dried
out before the cold weather. Corn
which contains % to 80 per cent mois-
ture is likely to have its termination
seriously reduced at temperatures of
20 to "a degrees. At four to eight de-
grees above zero the germ may even
be killed when the moisture has been
reduced to 10 to 20 per cent 1t is
hardly safe to plant such corn with,
out running termination tests.

Dehydrating Hay

There is gradually coming into use
a method of dehydrating hay which
promises to provide very satisfactory
feed. Those using this method report
splendid results. Legumes and grasses
may be cut earlier, thereby increasing
their digestibility and palatability as
we'll as increasing the percentage OF
protein. While this method Of ham
ding the hay crop is very promising
and provides an excellent feed, it has
not gone far enough to be factor In

still in extensive use New methods
may cause something else to take its
place but this will be some time in the
future.-Hoard's Dairyman.

Weed Seeds Have Long Life

In pointing out the longevity and vi
tally of weed seeds, the University of
California agricultural extension serv-
ice warns that planting clean seeds
will aid in getting crops free from
weeds, but if ever there were weeds
on the ground, the practice cannot pre-
vent them from sprouting and growing.
Morning glory, smartweed, broad
leaved dock, red clover, jimson weed,
black nightingale, plaintain, ragweed
and curled lambsquarter seeds will
live for thirty years, and then grow.
Reed canary grass, purslane, black
mustard, sugar beet, burdock and Can
ada thistle will live for twenty years.

JOSEPH b. EASTMAN and the Tnyerl

Joined In recommending to congress
legislation that will place under .'the
guiding hand of government control"
the transportation agencies that use
the highways and waterways of the
country. Their report, which was sub
mitted to the President, declares that
regulation of motor and water trans
portation Is necessary "if a threaten
ing chaos is to be transformed into
order" Such regulation. they said,
should be concentrated in the inter-
state Commerce commission.
In proposing changes in the inter-
state commerce act, the co-ordinator
and the commission recommend liber-
alization Of the long and short haul
clause forbidding railroad to charge
less for longer than shorter haul,
except on permission from the COM
mission.
This clause Is held by middle west

substantially by preventing traffic NOV

icans. In favor of the pact were 81
Democrats, IA Republicans and /
Farmer-Laborite.
Mr.. Roosevelt it was said in Wash
ington, was decidedly vexed by this
defeat Of major administration
measure, and he began preparations to
resubmit the treaty at future session
of congress. Senator James Hamilton
Lewis of Illinois, Democratic whip Of
the senate and one of the leading OPP
ponents Of the rejected treaty, pre-
dicted that Canada would soon offer
the United States substitute treaty.
This may be true, but dispatches re-
veal that in Montreal, at least, the de-
feat of the pact was hailed with joy
because business men there think the
project too expensive to be undertake
en- at this time. The Presidents warn
ing that Canada would, on its own
Initiative, build an all-Canadian water
way seems to be met by this news
from Montreal.
Chicago and the Mississippi valley,
are blamed by Mr.. Roosevelt for the
rejection Of the treaty, and there is no
doubt that their arguments against
the proposed restriction of diversion
of water from Lake Michigan to 1900
cubic feet second were potent. This
amount, according to Senator Lewis
and other Middle West senators, would
be wholly inadequate to maintain nav
igation in the Mississippi waterway.
The Atlantic seaboard senator's, too,
were almost solidly against the treaty.
If the treaty is resubmitted, the
clauses concerning the sovereignty of
Lake Michigan and the Chicago di-,
version may be omitted; but Senator
Lewis said: $50 far as am concerned
and I believe I speak also for sew
eral others-I shall not be satisfied
with mere omission, but shall de-
mand that Observation-Disclosures of Lake
Michigan and the limitation of the
sanitary district diversion shall be
specifically renowned by Canada"
