The study of Famous Homes proved very interest ing and roll call was answered with the name of such. Mrs. T. L. W. Bai ley gave an interesting account of M Mt.

Dillard, Oswald Cope land, Duncan Johnson, Forest Sum the father and mother, to whom grateful filial affection is due, are honored alike, but it seemed proper that a great home celebration should bear the name of “mother.” It was believed that men would as loyally share in the celebration of such a home day as the women, in this and other countries, and they have en thusiastically entered into the cele bration of the many days in honor of men. . The establishment of Mothers’ Day has not trespassed on the work of other movements, its development be ing along original and lofty lines and it is worthy of the loyalty of every man, woman and child, and of the co operation of every organization which stands for the uplift, betterment and honor of the home.

But as I trod By rocky ledge, through woods un tamed. Just where one sarlet lily flamed, I saw His footprints in the sod. Then suddenly, all unaware, Far off in the deep shadows, where A solitary hermit thrush Sang through the holy twilight hush— I heard His voice upon the air. . And even as I marvelled how God gives us Heaven here and now, In a stir of wind that hardly shook / The poplar leaves beside the brook— His hand was light upon my brow. At last with evening as I turned Homeward, and thought what I had learned And all that there was still to probe— I caught the glory of his robe Where the last fires of sunset burn ed. Back to the world with quickening start I looked and longed for any part In making saving Beauty be . . . And from that kindling ecstacy I knew God dewlt within my heart. — —Selected. MEMORIAL TO OUR VETERANS (Written by a Fourth Grade Boy at ™ Thornwell Orphanage) This is a memorial time to our sol diers brave —^ Who fought to keep the bonnie blue flag awave. They fought for their rights Thru days and thru nights Of cannon and guns bursting on. Thru the South like a cyclone. Day by day, they fought their way Till many an enemy they did slay, slay. But the battle was renewed Till our forces were subdued. Each battle led to the grave Those who fought, our flag to save. Now the Confederates are so few. Yet their honors are still due, Tho their deeds be great or small, Tho they be few, God bless them all. —William Care Campbell. Thornwell, May 5, 1924. The History Of Mothers’ Day The movement for Mothers’ Day, the second Sunday in May of each year, owes its origin to Mrs. Anna M. Jervis, who is known as the “Mother of Mothers’ Day.” Definite form and international force were given to her work by her daughter, Miss Anna Jervis, founding the spec ial day, and by the organization of the Mothers’ Day International asso ciation. Mothers’ Day was so called to honor the home and motherhood in a manner as distinctive as the nation-, al holidays celebrate the patriots, heroes, and events in the nation’s history. Mothers’ Day is J os. __ _ C “Fathers’ Day,” for in its celebration ji OuQ; tuOIlC D* gated by the Mothers’ Day Interna tional association, are: (1) To promote the well-being of the home by endeavoring to influ ence nations, organizations, church es, Sunday schools^, individuals and communities to realize their personal responsibility to right the wrongs of motherhood, childhood and the indus trial world in their relations to the home. To deepen and perpetuate family ties, and to develop those do mestic virtues which mean higher homes, religious and national life, that is, to make Mothers* Day a per sonal day. in the hearts and lives of men, women and children in all lands that it may endure as of ptactical benefit to humanity. (2) To secure workers and finan cial aid to effect a world-wide ob servance of Mothers’ Day, and to carry forward the all-year uplift work of the Mothers’ Day Interna tional association. Manner of observing Mothers’ Day: Mothers’ Day should be observed in the home, church, Sunday school, pub lic schools, by societies, and in the community generally in such a way as to give emphasis to the fact that true homes are a high exemplifica tion of practical Christian life and patriotism. The Mothers’ Day Inter national association prepared helpful supplies, and issues annually an of ficial program which gives a form of observance in line with the work of being carried forward. The use of this program aids the universal and proper celebration of Mothers’ Day. Besides the mothers and fathers there are others to be - remembered on Mothers’ Day—the lonely, discourag ed, the “down and out,” the unfor tunate in homes, institutions and prisons, and all who need a word of cheer, sympathy or other evidence of the brotherhood. of man. Time: Churches, Sunday schools, fraternal societies, and all other or ganizations that can have a Sunday observance of Mothers* Day, celebrate it on the second Sunday of May. Schools, .colleges, etc., celebrate on the Friday preceding, while business organizations, clubs, etc., give recog nition of the day on the Saturday preceding. The display of the Tui tion’s colors as well as the distribu tion of the Mothers’ Day emblem have been featurCb of the day’s ob servance. In 1910 a number of cities in the United States celebrated Moth ers’ Day, and in 1913 it was observed in nearly every city, town or village in Canada and the United States. In 1914, by act of congress, the second Sunday of May was officially desig nated as the National Mothers’ Day. Emblem: The Mothers’ Day em blem is the white carnation. It was chosen as the international memory flower of home and country because it seems to represent some of the virtues of motherhood—its whiteness symbolizing purity; its fragrance, love; its extensive growth, charity, and ita endurance, fidelity. An of ficial white carnation badge ia pre pared by the Mothers’ Day Interna tional association that the same badge may be worn in all countries by all who observe Mothers’ Day. Membership in the Association: The Mothers’ Day International asso ciation desires sons and daughters of all lands to give recognition to the Mothers* Day movement by using the time, wearing the emblem and. em ploying the program officially desig nated, and by membership in the as sociation, and thus advance the world wide and simultaneous observance of Mothers’ Day.

Williston, May 1.—Former Govern or Charles H. Brough of Arkansas, who opened the Redpath Atlantic Chautauqua circuit at Williston last night by his lecture on “America’s Leadership of the World,” and who was recently selected as one of the delegates at large to the Democratic national convention from Arkansas, predicted nomination of Senator.Jos eph T. Robinson of Arkansas by the National Democracy as its candidate for president, and when interviewed made the following statement: “Neither of the leading candidates— McAdoo, Smith nor Underwood—can possibly muster the necessary two- thirds vote in the New York conven tion and a “dark horse” will unques tionably be nominated. Of these “dark horses,” Senator Robinson will enter the convention in a command ing position. As the able minority leader of the United States senate, a brilliant orator and debater, able to make a strenuous nationwide cam paign, only 52 years of age, and, therefore, in the prime of life, one of the few available possibilities who can unite all elements of his party, dry and progressive. Senator Robin- ’son occupies a position of unusual po tential strength. All the candidates and the leaders of the party can agree on him, rfnd if nominated, in my opinion, he will unquestionably defeat President Coolidge and can be depended on to carry on the wonder ful idealism of the immortal Wood- row Wilson.” In his lecture Governor Brough characterized Woodrow Wilson as “a statesman combining the patriotism of a Washington, the philosophy of a Jefferson, the constructive genius of a Hamilton, the courage of a Jack- son, a Cleveland and a Roosevelt, the sweet charity of a Lincoln, a McKin ley and a Harding, and the judicial temperament of a Taft.” ^lsai==i|gaiait^iad|gili^i^i=lr=JB=li3!3 Little Boys’ Tub Suits JACK TAR TOGS Suits the small boys who know and their mothers will be delighted with, for they are very smart and new.

Get Edgar Todd’s {Brices on Fertilizer be fore you buy. Edgar Recently a man built a new house upon a lot that had been planted for years with shrubbery—lilacs, sweet springs, forsythia, and spires. One particularly beautiful group of shrubs formed a screen between his porch and a full view of the street. He chopped this all down, for he said, “They don’t bloom but once a year, so they are no good.” TO BE A CHILD “Know you what it is to be a child ? It is to be something very different from the man of today. It is to be lieve in love, to believe in loveliness, to believe in belief; it is to be so little that the elves can reach to whisper in your ear; it is to turn pumpkins into coaches, and mice into horses, lowness into loftiness, and nothing in everything, for each child has its fairy godmother in its own soul; it is to live in -a nut shell and to count yourself the king of infinite space; it is To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand And eternity in an hour. It ia to know not as yet that you are under sentence of life. —Francis Thompson-Shelley.
