Some people paused to hear his song because his notes were true and strong, but others plodded on their way unheedful, for the cold held sway. Yet, notes those wrho listened warmed and thrilled to spring-lik- e the robin trilled. A little later when ,the skies were blue and fair as angel eyes, more robins came to lilt and sing about the wonders of the spring. Their, voices were so fresh and clear that hundreds paused their notes to hear. Still sang the first, his best of course, although his tones were harsh and hoarse from singing loudly! in the cold before springs garments did unfold. He sang his best, but then, alas, the crowd would titter as theyd pass and say: Poor bird, hes lost his voice. These other singers are my choice. In this hard world when some bird tries to make the sad see sunny skies, and does his best to sing a song that helps the old world move along, some othep bird will catch his hqtes and lilt his lays from their fresh throats, Vhile He, neglected, lonely, sings of summers fair and balmy springs.

A fragment of history says : Tn the age of Shakespeare and Queen Bess, England designated a day to be known as Mothering picked to bring day, and the first flowers of field and garden were to mother. It was a day to decorate the home of the living and the resting place of the dear departed. It was left to America to I will be his bride. think the timeMvill likely come when she But how on eartHNj;hat maiden fair could stand for such a jolt has struck me like a grizzly bear or like a thunderbolt. Ive seen some fellers chewin rags, and that was bad enough, but when the conversation lags and they no longer bluff, they al- " .vivei this tribute of gratitude to mothers. These words recall more recent history. to America! f Recall when, n 1908, Miss Anna Jarvis conceived the idea of remembering mother, and acknowledging her as lifes sweetest influence. Before ithis time it seemed as if the human family had gone on for years accepting; thoughtless, of course, of all the devotion and loving service offered by the mothers, without any feeling of obligation, and, oftentimes, without any sense of appreciation. In many instances- this love and devotion goes unrecognized too long, and too many mothers are allowed to pass out of this life without receiving a w:ord of gratitude from those whom they have spent their, lives to feerve. The world today owes its present advancement to the efforts motherhood Of quite as much as to any other cause. It is the pa- 'tient effort of mothers in all these millions of homes that develops ? good and true sons and daughters upon which the nation builds its hopes and ambitions. And although the world isa full of demoralloving mother izing influences, yet we find in these homes work that of making the heart that is 'dedicated to a wonderful present generation and the generations to come better and happier than their predecessors. to the quiet guidance and toilsome Most people owe far more efforts of their mothers than, they can possibly realize.

So feel that they had not given a asked the owner if there was anything else Vie wanted done, they svrui tViey took VioIdL and did some more work, cleaning up rubbish Until they were sure they had fully earned their $2.00. .' Such incidents are encouraging, as they are in striking contrast with the spirit so lamentably manifested during the war. There are many more of these conscientious peoplewho are determined to give good measure, than' some of us realize. Illustrating the other spirit, a man who supervised some accounts at one of the army cantonments during the war, says that one afternoon he found that a plumber and his helper had both lain down in the building where they were supposed to be working, and both had gone to sleep. Yet the plumber was earning all the time at the rate of $100 a week and the helper a correspondingly large wage! This failure to give an honest return for money received,! he remarks, was constantly being shown at that time, both by people Vvho sold supplies, and those who worked for wages. ' St. Lukes gospel says: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good hieasure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over. The. country is now paying heavily for the lack of this spirit shown during the war. A time when men are concerned mostly with getting their pay and do not care whether they give good value! or not, is Jsure to be followed by penalties of commercial distress. But a.'time when men become anxious to give the full equivalent for the money they receive, is a time when foundations of prosperity and abundance are being laid. T GIVE THE MOTHERS A REST The movement to give to the mothers of the nation a rest of one day a week is properly gaining impetus, and th thought has taken root none too soon. If the money wasted in due's, and assessments for the thousand and one societies and organizations that seem to attract the jiner could be applied even in part to giving the American mother a tithe of recreation, untold goodyould come to the country. There are two thousand mothers of dependent fatherless children in Illinois alone, mothers now on the state charity roll, and goodness knows how many thousands in the other' states. The pittance they receive spells nothing save life and slavery. The responsibility of these mothers prohibits work other than the care of these little ones, which is nerve racking, and under existing pressure all but intolerable. The childrens mouths are ever open like the beaks of baby birds for nourishing food that must be prepared; Willies stockings must be darned in time for school, Marys apron is torn, and there is the washing, the ironing, the sweeping, the dishwashing and the rest of the deadly routine with never a moments rest. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals would prosecute the person who worked a horse as the American mother is worked. We find numbers of good folk who are reddy to acknowledge this fact, but few ready to take hold to practically correct it. The mothers of the nation should have at least one days rest in seven. If our womens clubs want to exercise a real function they will get behind this thought. work there is a chance for some practical Perhaps " own home tmvn. j 1 THE FARM BOY AND GIRL t I - MARKET NOTES By Charles M.
