THURSDAY, MAY 10TH, 1928. / Mothers’ Day. u § i*V There has of late been a movement "tochange the [designation of “Mothers’ Day,” as applied to May l.'lth to “Par vaes’ Day.” Those in favor of this change be lieve that fathers are being neglected. Tlie fajct is that there is a special ‘'‘Father’s Day” too—hut somehow or other that day has not become as wide ly known as is “Mothers’ Day.” .Mnih*»is’ Day falls on May 13th. "The time is approaching. Let us all prepare to do honor to our mothers— •and blessed are those of us whose mothers are still among the living! It seems to us that though “Parents’ Day” may be a pretty good idea, mother certainly deceives a day all to hrrself! .The argument, in our opinion, shoul^i not hinge or* changing the designation «*f the day, but should hinge o n the necessity for a closer observance of Fitbers’ Day. There Is something ahout the very ’•nerds “Mothers’ Day”—that creates a noble, inspiring emotion within us and engulfs u« with reverence and love. Oz> this day weiexpress our respect and adoration for our mothers by bringing them thoughtful gifts and going out of our way to be especially phmsmg to them. Every day in the year we shoul|d do things to make our mothers happy—this day we pick as tht one on which we are to be more cancsiderate even than or^ any other. IL seems to us as though Mothers’ Day must remain. If it officially becomes Parents’ Day, it will still be Mothers’ Day to os in our heart of hearts—and father whJ) feel the same way a!>out it!

Encouragement of artistic propen sitiesdn the young is a great boon to any Nation Do your part by listening to good music during this week, a nd by taking a special interest ir, those about you who aspire to be musicians. That America is a music-loving country, dt/spite comments to the 1 contrary by persons who dislike jazz and judge us by it, is proven by the great interest that has been displayed in this Music Week event long before the week, approached. All over the country elaboratu programs and con certs have been arranged, and schools A painstaking survey made by the have been endeavoring to discover the New York Times seems to irdifate musical talent jn their studert bodies. that there is a lessened demand among j — the ftirmers of the country for the McNary-Haugen bill or similar farm relief legislation.

Over the hill trailed a man behind a mule drawing a Dixie plow. These .'rally t hat the farmers are more f 0 , a The tope lines eor, prosperous and that many of them | net>ted the tW() the c)od hopper .!« not rare much about Federal re- w ,, s the i ir(>tt ,ieastinK station. firf measures. These leports certainly present an •optimistic view whev 1 compared with that of B. F. Yoakum of New York, '*t!rn n* urging the Democratic party Id. write a strong agricultural plank into the platform because, he oon- tciwls, the prosperity of the nation is cwdangored by the condition of the Surner today. Farming must be re start'd to a prosperous condition, he •says, or the nation a.s a whole*, will ^suffer. Avronling to the recent survey, fbnmers of New England are opposed oo the McNary-Hauger. bill or similar legislation. Farmers of Ohm am •divided on the matter, while farmers •of Ind iana and Illinois are for legisla tion. Some demand for legislation is re peated f.iom Missouri and Arkansas. Kansas and Nebraska farmers sivm to favor legislation. There is little interest in Florida, and some other States are divided irr their opinion, in- •.cluding Louisiana and Texas. The survey*seems to indicate that the movement for farm relitrf legis lation, which has absorbed Congress for several sessions, is constricting more, and mom into a sectional rather than a natiorai demand. National Music Week. \Crowded Out Last Week.) On Sunday night, <May 6. National Mofeir Week officially opens. It is an •tfvnt of the grmtest importance. This year's Music Week will specially .stress Americar, music, and will be x >ir>vrwd by schools, churches, clubs, ra»ij other institutions in various parts of the country. The radio has been a great factor in bmiging good music into our homes, -and during tho National Music Week the' radio piomises to bring special elaborate programs of beautiful ramie within the reach of all. Ob- aierve Music Week by tuning nn on the statxms recognizing the event by pro- vtifr|g gal a programs. Don’t miss this chance to be entertained by great -National Music Week will include “Bill, you are a mule, the son of a jackass, and I’m a man made in the image of God. Yet here we work hitchtyl together year in amd year out. I often wonder if you work for me o! I for you. Sometimes I think this is a partnership between A mule and a fool. For surely I work the hardest of the two. Plowing here we cover the same distance, but you do it on -four legs and I do it on two. So, mathematically speaking, I do twice as much work per leg as you do. “Soon we’ll be preparing for a corn nop. VVhon the crop is harvested, I give one-third to the landlord for be ing kind enough to let me use thia corner cf God’s universe. Tho other third goes to you, and whit is left is my sh:ve. But while you consume all of your third with the exception of a few cobs, I divide my third between seven children, six hens, two ducks and a banker. Bill, you are getting the best of me; it air.’t fair for just a mule, the son of a jackass, to rob a man, the Lord of creation, of his sub stance. And come to think about it, you only help to cultivate the ground. After that, 1 cut, shock and husk it. while you look over the pasture fen:*e nud he, ha, at me. “All fall and part of the winter, the ■whole family, from granny down trr the baby picked cotton to help raise money to buy you a new set of har ness, iand pay interest on the mort gage on you. And by the way, what do you care about the mortgage? It doesn’t worry you any. Not a darn bit. You leave that to me, you un- giateful, onery cuss. “About the only time where I’m your better is or, election day, for I can vote and .W>u can’t. But if I ever get any more out of politics than you do I can’t see where it is.” —The Lin- colnton Journal. • In observing National Music Week Miss Elizabeth McNab, Home Demorr straltion Agent, and the members of the music club of Barnwell planned and carried out a splendid' musical program at Long Branch Monday night.

C., and Leila Louise Castles of Plucks took, S. C. , The state winners,.each of whom received as acknowledgement of her effort an expense-paid trip to the Southeastern Fair and a gold Stone Moun tain Memorial Medal, submitted essays which were exceedingly outstanding auiQng the many South (iurollna entries and which can he practically and profitably applied to South Carolina's agricultural program. Miss Carroll, who lias been very successful in club poultry projects for the past three years, chose for her subject, “The Marketing of Poultry In My" Community." Miss Castles, a sophomore in Black stock' High School, selected the same subject. In the case of each-essay, the contestants dis played a thorough knowledge of the poultry business. They covered every division of the poultry industry from the selection of setting eggs up through the care of baby chicks, feed rations, cuilings, cleaning and dressing. It Is J instantly obvious that the methods as outlined by the two girls could be tpplied by every poultry raiser in §outh Carolina with great success.
