Large  Number   Kindly Attend
Reception Tuesday Evening.
^Tbe reception tendered the public
by the Men's Class of the- M. B,
Obnroh at the church parlors on Tuea-
#&▼ evening was largely attended,
especially by bupils of the-schools
Who certainly did their share to entertain the company. Under Supt.
Poulson's management, an exciting
relay race was had between four representatives of certain grades, the
sixth grade girls defeating the seventh, they in turn to be beaten later
by the High- School, In tbe boys'
race, four representative of the school
went up against a team from tbe 0.
J. O. of the church and oaused the
the flag of the latter to; trail in the
dust,
Of course the chief interest centered
in the address ot Mr. Tatman and it
was listened to with close attention
He remarked first that a nation's
greatness depends much on what nature has done for it. This country
is blessed with almost everything
necessary to make a great nation.
To give a little idea of the immensity of our internal commerce, the
freight passing through the Soo canal is three timed that of the Suez canal. Of course the necessity for a waterway across the isthmus ot Panama
naturally suggested itself to many at
an early day.
Mr. Tatmarrleft nereJan.14, one of
the coldest days we bad, stopping at
various points on the way. At Chattanooga he ascended Lookout Mt,
and described the immense view to
be had, enabling one to see something of five states. At New Orleans
lie met Waiter Snider, well known
liere, and who extended to him many
courtesies.
Through the medium of letters of
introduction Mr. Tatman had extra
good opportunities of inspecting the
work at the canal. A private car
conveyed a small company over the
line enabling tbem to see things
much more rapidly. He described
the locks and huge steel gates; the
tortuous course of the Cbagres river
which tbe canal intersects 22 times
going 23 miles; the colums being
•rected to bear the lights for lighting
tbe canals the spillway, hreakwaters
and various other Interesting feat-
ares. Through the thorough sanitary methods 'adopted, the Canal
^one is a healthy place, in fact may
turn ont to be a future health resort.
On the return, Mr. Tatman visited
Texas, Florida and several other
- states in the South, describing some'
striking things seen. He was held
Up for some time by the floods which
wrought such havoc in Ohio and
Indiana.
At   the close, light  refreshments
Were served.   We have no doubt tbe
Grab  members feel grateful to tbe
' large company for their attendance.
The Bravest of Battles.
The bravest battle that   ever   was
fought,
Shall I tell you where, and when?
On the maps oi the world you'll  find
it not; ■
'Twas fought by the  mothers of
men.
<&
Nay, not with cannon or battle shot,
With sword or nobler pen;
Nay, not wifh   eloquent   ward    or
thought
From mouth of wonderful men.
But deep in a^walled-up   woman's
heart—
Of woman that would not yield,
But bravely, silenty bore her part—
Lo! there is the battle field.

No banner to gleam and wave!

ENTERTAINMENT COURSE.
First Class One To Be Furnished
By Our School.
In no way dismayed by the failure
of tbe course to pay for itself the
past winter, the high school has definitely contracted for a course next
winter that will in every respect compare favorably with the one we  had.
It will, consist of four numbers and,
if arrangements can be made, the
Bealah Buck Quartette will be added
making five. Everybody was pleased
with the entertainment these ladies
gave here and their return Would be
sure to be greeted with a full house.
_ It seems little less than a disgrace
that a town thejsize of Clare cannot
maintain a good course without ten
or a dozen citizen citizens being
compelled to!} dig down into their
pockets for ten or fifteen dollars
each to make up a deficit. We have
no "kick coming" because of a little
experience of this kind. We would
gladly do it again if necessary to enable the pupils and young people to
get a glimpse of these things; but it
should not be necessary to do anything of the kind. A good course
should leave a balance for something
better next year.
Great credit is due Supt. Poulson
for bis efforts along this line. We
admire his plnck. Upon him fell the
bulk of tbe work and to him belongs
the greater share of the credit for
whatever of success was achieved
the past winter. He don't propose
to "lie down" before every obstacle
that presents itself. That is the
spirit that will win. If the people do
not loyally sustain the efforts be and
tbe school are making to provide a
first class course next winter, it will
be a shame. *
Unique Exercises.
-"
As it was more convenient. to ob-
aerve Tuesday, the 6th. as Arbor and
Bird day rather than Friday, the 9th,
the school here had some exercises
that were somewhat out pf the usual
order and very interesting withal.
Florence White gave an address upon the trees, their beauty and many
uses to man and the proper way to
transplant them "successfully* Harold Poulson talked About the birds,
"their beauty and manifold uses to
nan in the destruction of insect
pests that would otherwise tender
the work of the husbandman in vain.
Then the work of tree planting began.
And here is where something out
of the ordinary came in. Each grade
planted its tree in the presence of the
entire school and then a representative of the grade explained why this
troQ had been planted. Thus were
eight trees added to those already
adorning the school grounds; and
these pupils in future years will feel
that they, have another permanent
interest in the home school.

Entertaining Visitors.
Our school this week chanced to
have two visitors that -were somewhat out of the usual order. Boy E.
Bendell who travels in' the interest of
tbe Coit Lyceum Bureau and himsalf
an entertainer of some little ability,
was here between trains and gave
some hints to the English class concerning "The Merchant of Venice."
The class is now Btudying this, play
and we understand are likely to entertain their friends with the trial
scene in that play.
" On the same day Mrs. Pooler who
represents another bureau entertained the High School with some recitations , showing talent of a very high
order. We understand that our people will]have an opportunity to hear
her later.

MOTHERS' DA Y
A  Proclamation By   the   Governor,
Resolutions.
Never did the-word mother have a i
broader and deeper meaning than it has
today. The welfare of the world is related to motherhood. < Would that the mothers of our sons and daughters fully realized the power they wield. Through the
double standard of virtue established by
man long ages ago^ mothers have un- 1
consciously granted their sons license to I
disregard   the sanctity oi  womanhood. [
When mothers shall insist upon as clean |
men for husbands of their daughters as I
they now insist upon clean daughters for (
wives of their sons, a new era -will have 1
dawned in which the social evil and the I
whiteslave traffic will have largely disap- [
peared from our fair land,    The highest 1
type of woman is the mother.   The word I
mother thrills the hearjt with   joy   and [
gratitude, and gives to memory priceless 1
treasures. I
Therefore, I, Woodbridge   N.-Ferris, I
ask that the people of Michigan set apart /
the third Sunday in May (the 18th) as |
Mothers' Day.    As far as possible,  let C
parents in their homes and both young ]
and old in public meetings discuss the %
theme of Mother with that enthusiasm |
and sincerity which should characterize /
all loyal Americans. f

Mother's Day^ our flret international honor day, will thin year consummate Its fifth observance throughout the world. All through our own
codntry, Europe, in parts of China,
Japan, Africa and South America,
sons and daughters will wear the
white carnation, which was chosen
as the Mother's Day flower. The
popularity of this new honor day is
remarkable. With no organization,
state nor government to introduce
it; with no funds to spread its mission; with no literature -save one
two page leaflet; with no motive
force except tbe desire of one Woman to see all mothers honored as
she would honor her own, Mother's
Day has in five years become a universal honor day, celebrated by
people of all nationalities, of all
races and of all creeds.
The founder of this new holiday,
Miss Anna Jarvia, has watched its
rapid growth with a feeling of bewilderment.. Five years ago she
determined to experiment upon the
starting of this new holiday and'
she inserted a notice in a church
paper. The notice asked for an observance of tbe second Sunday in
May aB Mother's Bay, and that every
son and daughter who wished to
nonor motherhood should wear a
white carnation. The response was
generai among subscribers to the
church paper. The second year,
Miss Jarvia felt justified in sending
notices to the newspapers of the city
of Philadelphia, where she resided.
She appealed to the general public
in behalf of motherhood.
"Soldiers, sailors and statesmen
are nationally honored*" she said;
"bat the mothers who went into the
Valley of the Shadow of Death to
bear these are forgotten by their
country." «*  '
All that she asked was' the wearing
of a white carnation to honor
motherhood. There was not a white
carnation for sale in the city of
Philadelphia on the Saturday night
preceding .the Sunday s 6t for
Mother's Day observance, and on
that day the streets Were filled With
men, woman and, children, all wearing carnations, roses or anything
that wjR*'white, for as the stock of
KAYKAKEE CLUB
Entertained   On    Tuesday
Mrs. J. H. Wilson.
By
The last regular meeting of the5
Kaykakee Srudy Club was held with
Mrs. John Wilson Tuesday afternoon.
The meeting was opened by tbe vice
president, Mrs. Waller, the members
present responding to roll call with
quotations relating to flowers.
The program consisted ot a review
of Tennyson's May Queen by Mrs.
P. B. Doherty. Mrs. J. B, Rowe bad
a paper on the Legends' of Flowers
which was read by Mrs, Poulson and
Mrs. Benner a paper on Canadian
Flowers. The visitors were Mes-
dames Davy, Green, Lister, Halsted,
Andrus and Mian Dunlop.
The club is now making preparations for a closing day reception to
be held at tbe home ot Mrs. Waller
May 20th. X
white flowers gave out, even bits of
ribbon were pressed into service.
The newspaper notices'had been
copied in New York and in a number
of smaller cities and towns throughout the country.   As a result, there
were observances of Mother's Day
in towns   in tbe East,   South   and
West? and on the day following hundreds of queries reached Miss Jarvis.
What   did    Mother's    Day   mean?
What should you do to celebrate it?
Could Miss Jarvis make any  suggestions   for special   celebrations   for
churches,     schools,    organizations,
hospitals, posts,  patriotic societies,
religious societies, business organizations?   Miss Jarvis could and did,
This part of her  work was a complete surprise,  but she determined
to do anything to make the  day, so
successfully begun, a lasting success.
She answered all the queries, one by
one, developed special forms of celebration and gave   praotically three
years of her life to   helping other
people celebrate the day which   she
had created for them. >
3 "It is the holiday which was created with a postage stamp," says
Miss Jarvis smiling. "I have never
lectured, and I rarly have assisted
in a celebration. I stayed at home
and thought things out and wrote
them. I have tried to keep the observance of the day as simple as
possible, because I wanted every one
to be able to celebrate."     -
Last year, in response to many demands, Miss Jarvis arranged-a simple) program .for school, Sunday
schools and societies, and an official
badge for those who could not get
flowers, for white carnations will
not groW fast enough to meet the
rising demand for them. Mayors
and governors issued proclamations
asking that the day be generally observed, using this program.
Miss Jarvia has founded a day that*
is likely to last. It is your day, for
|ast yoa.and your mother; a day to
make her happy.
