This will be wel come news to his many friends in this city. ~ -• N APOLEON said: "The future of the child Is always the work of the mother.” And we realise how true this is If we read what some fa mous sons and daughters have said of their mothers and what influence the mother seemed to have on their careers. A striking example is that of Victor Hugo and his mother. When he was born his life was despaired of by all except her. She was determined he should live and gave him the name of Victor Marie, and her determination won out, for within six weeks he was well on the way to recovery. Never did she give up hope of Victor Hugo’s success In life and one writer tells us that she looked forward with the greatest confidence to the future of her Aon, holding that "he might with even greater Justice than Foquet adopt as his device the words, "To what may I ifot riaef" And Victor Hugo waa devoted to his mother, hut like many mothers she did not live to see his first great success, for she died Just one year too soon. Lincoln's Great Mother. To all of us the story of Abraham Lincoln and hit mother Is familiar. We know how, through all her great struggle, she managed to Impart what she knew of the Bible and the little education she had to her son. And wo know how hard It waa for Abra ham Lincoln to see his father put hla mother Into a green pine box and bury her, and how he grieved for three months until his father brought a parson from Kentucky to preach the sermon and to conduct the proper service for the dead. Francea Willard’s devotion to her mother is one of the most beautiful parts of her life. Truly. Frances Wil lard Inherited her greatness of thought and her determination to suc ceed from her mother. When as a ygBiig teacher ahe wrote: "I thank God for my mother as for no other gift of Hla bestowing. My nature Is so woven Into hers that I almost think It would be death for me to have the bond severed and one so much myself gone over the river." Fraromp'Willard’s Tribute. That botnl was severed and Frances Willard lived Just six years after that mother had “gone over the river.’’ Her last words were: *Tve crept In with mother and It la the same hean- tlful world and the same people; re member that—It’a Just the same." Another mother who lived to see her hopes In her child materialized was George Washington's mother. George Washington Park Custis tells us that “the mother held In reserve an authority which never departed from her, not even when her son had become the most Illustrious of men." All who have written of her hav^- accorded her an Influence In deter mining both his character and his ca reer. And on her monument we find the Inscription, "Mary, the Mother of Washington.” s' • Stern Man's Devotion. One of the softening influences (If we can believe there-was one) in the life of Oliver Cromwell was his moth er. There was a great devotion be tween these two, and she lived with him until her death at ninety j four years in Whitehall palace. Each day he visited her room, and at her death he stood by her bedside with tears in his eyes. Her last words were, "My dear son, I lesve my heart with thee; good night.” She is burled la Westminster abbey. They say that man Is mighty, Hs governs land and ssa. Hs wield* a mighty scepter O’er lesser powers than hs. But mightier power and stronger Man from his throne has hurled. For the hand that rocks the cradle Is the hand that rules the world. —Kansas City Times. The Face of Our.

A man does not expect his breakfast to carry him through tbs day, week or month. Ho oats dinner end supper to satisfy his craving tor food. Crops are no different. A lit tle ordinary fertiliser at planting time—perhaps it was only cottonseed meal—isn't going to satisfy them 'or the entire growing sesison. They must receive additional food so they can keep growing and gather strength to fight weevils, fleas, disease and draught, and In the end produce a money-making yield- That Is why side-dressings of quick-acting nitro gen are usually ao profitable. ^ Prob&bly no fertiliser is so well and favorably known in this conneo tion as nitrate of soda and experi ence has shown that 150 to 200 pounds applied about chopping out time ordinarily pays very well. It should be put on four to six inches from the plant on One side of each row and cultivated into the soil. It can be applied by hand or with a dis tributor or planter. With ntoffcture In the soil, nitrate of soda is taken np by the plant without any delay what ever. Regardless of whether the price of cotton Is high or low next Fall, the farmer who has used good seed, em ployed the best cultural methods and fertilised properly will make more money or lose lees than the farmer who "lets nature take Us course.** SEEDS • • e"a SEEDS WE HAVE IN STOCK a supply of fresh Garden Seeds of all kinds and a limited -quantity of Excel, Improved Tom Watson, Irish Gray and Thur man Gray W’at^ermelon Seeds Kirby Stay-Green and Henderson’s Improved Whtie Spine Cucumber Seeds.
