Her voice was the first we heard in the morning and the last we heard at night. As we grew through boyhood and girlhood, she was always there to wipe away the tears, to pick the thorns from our fingers, to kiss the bruises, to mend our torn garments, to cook for us, wash for us, pray for us. When we left the old home her's was the last face we saw as we turned the bend in the road. She stood shading her tear-dlmmed eyes with her hand, looking?and still praying. We came back and went again. She was always paother. No word exists that can define her i ?-'Vo ean liken her to nobody and to nothing She stdtads alone.

Death cannot take her from us. The years are powerless to blot out her image. As we shall sink into ours. Her presence and her memory are so interwoven with all the n*t that we think and feel and purpj.se, that to lose her would be to reduce our whole life to ruin. O woman, how sublime is your mission of motherhood! No throne is so lofty as the throne of motherhood. No governme.it has so great power as does the magic scepter of motherhood. No kingdom so seucre as is the kingdom of motherhood. States change, governments pcrisn and nations migrate, all things ebb and low, but Mother is Mother, from the beginning to the end of time. She changes not Her day Is yesterday, today and forever. German opinion, as reflected in the Berlin press, is divided in regards to the American note to Germany and share the view of the government that the n<te is an indication of the disinterested friendliness of this country. UUier tvuiuicuutiuis, uuwc?a, ouggest that the note was inspired solely by regard for American business interests. ?Wood's Productive Seed Corns.

SEEDSMEN, - Richmond, Vs. J A man by whom we were cnee employed said: "When I was in school I heard a lecture entitled '.Stay when you are,' and practically all my boyhood friends who decide.! to take the lecturer's advice and remain in the old home town are now well off, while I have been in business at several places and have made very slow progress." Ti ?!???" to n lm;onn In IhlfJ il seems u? u? tucic ? a ... . for a number of our young people tbat we have talked with In the last year. Probably It is natural for them, at their time of life, to overlook the opportunities which lie near at hand, but the opportunities which lie near at hand, but the tendency should be guarded against Remember that distant hills are never as green as they appear. Forget the disadvantages cf 1 your home town, home State or the ? part of the country where you are now located. And above all, don't get the Ideal climate craze. The chances are all In favor of the assumption that we have just as good climate right here as there is anywhere, and if you go chasing over the earth after something better, you will simply waste ; your time and money. You may And places where they have more sunshine than we do, but they also have earthquakes or malaria, or some such 1 item on the wrong side of the ledger. ; You may find a place where they have [ more rainfall to keep the landscape , looking Detter ana mane ueuviei uruyo, but tbey also "enjoy" thunderstorms that would frighten a status, and ! visitations of lighting to destroy life and property. You may find a climate that is mild and equable all the year around, but on the other hand the altitude is so great that few people can live there. Yoc hear, of course, about more wonderful lands than ours, but you don't hear of the rainy season, the chigger, the hookworm and other features of life there. But if you should feel yourself succumbing to the siren song of some promoter, you can save yourself much grief by going personally to look over the prospect before breaking away from lifelong ties. When you do so, take cur word for it, all the inhabitants of the place, if you point out to them the disadvantages of their location as to climate, soil, markets, society or what qot, will be sure to say: "Well, the conditions Just now _ ito ijawi 1 ft *&,- not -oHrm like this." We've heard that everywhere we've been. But don't be deceived. These people mean well, but they have lived with their disadvantages so long they don't notice them until they' are pointed out by some visitor. As far as we can judge, this town is Just as desirable a place to live as any other. We have the good and the bad?so does every town. Don't say, 'This is the worst town in the state for gossip." That simply shows you don't know the other towns in this state. Any town or city, large or small, has just about so much gcsslp to the cubic inch. Don't complain of narrow mindedness and wish you could move away to escape it. You can't very well escape it The best we can do is to keep our minds clear from prejudices and sc set a good example * -*- - i. .1. ....1.1 ror our neignoors. mui mhiuki us pretty busy. i S. C.
