On May 31, wheat farmers of McCormick county will jWn with wheat farmers through out the Natioi) in deciding whether «r not to have marketing quotas. When the McCormick county results have been compiled, they wfH be sent to the State AAA of fice. National results will be com- pded by the Department of Agri- catture in Washington, D. C. AH farmers affected by the wheat quota may cast a vote. Mr Freeland urges each wheat farmer to find out from his community «r county committeeman whether lat is eligible. If two-thirds of tte farmers voting approve, the spmfa will become effective. “The defense emergency makes referendum question all the important”, Mr. Freeland “While the preparedness program calls for a good-sized re serve, It also needs some provision Mr handling the large supply so wheat prices will not be de- This is done under by storing the surplus and dividing the available market jly.

Com- anercial poultrymen already are Seeding their flocks to get the possible eggs, so that extra must come from special feed ing of farm hens. “Feed plenty 6t mash, either Meme-mixed or commercial, and aK the grain the hens will clean ■p at night”, he said. “Keep Szssh, clean water where the hens ean get it easily at all times. Wet wrash is an excellent appetizer. It should be fed in a crumbly state, and once started, must be kept wp. Extra eggs will pay for the additional work.” Eggs are an ideal means of taming Ever-Normal Granary Reserves of com and wheat into defense foods, he pointed out.

When her mother finally passed away, Anna Jarvis felt that the props had been knocked out from under her. She had friends to | turn to, but there was no friend j who could come near to taking the place of her mother whom she had loved so deeply. Mourning deeply over the death of her mother, Anna Jarvis real ized that she was not alone in her misery—that men and women all over the world felt the same deep sense of loss when their mothers passed away. Anna Jarvis decided that some thing should be done to give special honor to mothers while they are alive. She discussed her thoughts on the subject with the pastor of her church. He agreed, on the first anniversary of her mother’s death, to hold a special service to honor beloved mothers everywhere. That service was the beginning of Mother’s day. WILSON proclamation The Mother’s day idea appealed to so many people that in 1908, the year after the first Mother’s day service in Philadelphia, the idea had spread to other churches in all sections of the country. That year the governor of Flor ida issued a Mother’s day procla mation and nation-wide publicity was given to the special event honoring the mothers of our na tion. By 1914 the idea had grown to such national proportions that President Wilson issued a national proclamation that the second: eggs keep well and take little storage or shipping space in pro portion to their food value. A ease of 30 dozen eggs dries down to about 10 pounds. “Give the hens all they’ll eat this spring”, Mr. Bouknight said. “Don’t make them rustle for their feed. Feeding for more eggs is a real opportunity for farm men and women to aid defense and add to their incomes.” Roofing And Paint Galvanized Roofing Of All Types And Various Kinds Of Prints At Factory Prices.

The President’s proclamation made Mother’s day official, and ever since then it has been ob served in practically all churches as well as in most homes. It has become a day when chil dren make a special effort to be with their mothers and to demon strate to them the love which they feel but so often take for granted. Most mothers, who spend their lives making sacrifices for their children, want nothing in return but real affection and a lasting respect for the ideals which they have striven to teach. Mother’s day serves as a sort of day of review in which we take time to display our affection and respect to our mothers. GIFTS advertising At times, while Mother’s day was becoming crystallized as an annual event, critics warned that its original purpose was being lost behind the barrage of advertising and sales efforts aimed at selling Mother’s day gifts. It is true that Mother’s day had become a time for gifts and that it was a profit able day for many merchants. But the appeal of the day itself has been strong enough to with stand commercialization and in stead of feeling that store-keepers are trying to squeeze dollars from us with a sentimental appeal, we now welcome their advertising suggestions on appropriate gifts for Mother’s day. , It is a day on which most of us want to give presents and we ap preciate, rather than resent, the fact that business men are making special gift packages . which are particularly appropriate for moth ers. Those who argue that Mother’s day shouldn’t be commercialized should compare It with Christmas. Most of us depend on the adver tising and the store Christmas displays to aid us in getting ap propriate gifts. The advertising doesn’t sell us on giving—it mere ly assists us in shopping for gifts which we intended to give anyway. We want suggestions for Mother’s day too. IDEALS American mother Each year since 1935, the golden Rule foundation has chosen one American mother as being repre sentative of the best there is in motherhood. This year, they picked a woman whom they also considered well fitted to be the spokesman for American mothers in the interests of homeless mothers and fatherless children in war-torn areas of Europe and Asia. Their choice was Mrs. Dena Shelby Diehl of Danville, Ky., widowed mother of four daughters, all of whom are graduates of the University of Kentucky, all of whom are married and all of whom have been active in social welfare and civic work. Mrs. Diehl, according to the committee, was best qualified of all nominees named from all parts of the country, to meet the follow ing requirements: First—A successful mother, as evidenced by the character and achievements of her indi vidual children. Second — Embodies those traits most highly regarded in mothers: courage, moral strength, patience, affection, kindness, understanding,- homemaking ability. Third—Has a sense of social and world relationships and is also active for her own com munity betterment and in service for public betterment. Fourth—Equipped by nature to make friends easily.

A Message To Graduates All high school and college graduates who expect to seek jobs this summer should secure Social Security Account Number cards immediately, according to Miss Martha Pressly, Manager of tlie Social Security Board Field Office in Greenwood, S. C. Thousands of young men and women will be graduating from high schools and colleges within the next 60 days. Many of them will be entering commerce and industry for the first time. Some will be taking jobs in stores, of fices, mills and similar places of business. Others will be working on construction jobs and what we call “out-door work”. Each boy and each girl, upon going to work fqr the first time, should have a Social Security Account Number Card. This card may be obtained from any Field Office of the Social Security Board. If there is not a Social Security Board Field Office in your town, the Postmaster will give you an application blank and tell you where to mail it to get your Social Security Card. The Social Security Board has just issued a little booklet ISC No. 44 which explains in detail what each worker should do with his Social Security Card. A postal card or letter addressed to the Social Security Board in Green wood, S. C., will bring you this booklet free of charge. McCORMICK BAPTIST CHURCH SCHEDULE L. K. SIMPSON, Pastor.
