PUR MOTHERS
• -.  *'  "   (.Contributed)
Sunday, May 12, is Mothers 'Day,
that one universal holiday when all
the world bows to the finest thing the
world knows—motherhood. No day
in all the calendar of celebrated days
is so fraught with spiritual signifi-
can*c*e,-;for face to face with mither
love humanity gains some slight conception of 'that divine love Which consciously or unconsciously keeps hope
springing eternal in the human
breast. •*'" . ;.'
No heart is so dead' to love that it
does not beat a little faster at the
thought of Mother; no soul is so
steeped in gross materialism that it
does not quicken at the memories this
day calls up.
We lose many enthusiasms alonj
life's way; ideals fade in the pitiles:
glare of the noonday sun: gods wor
shipped in our youth prove to have
feet of clay: we love and are loved,
and love burns itself out and leaves
us, coldly gazing on the ashes of what
w.e once thought eternal. One human
thing only, is constant and changeless
—the love of the woman who nursed
us through.'childhood and the days of
restless youth and sent us out to the
battle of life with. such faith and
hope and prayers as only mothers
know.
Those of us who on this day may
greet the livjng flesh and blood presence of mother and hold her for a
time in our amis, are fortunate beyond our knowledge, and if we fail to
make her cup. De'fcap'^scss -full to
overflowing that day, we\ rob her
and ourselves of a privilege beyond
price. Whether you maydo it in person or by letter, for your sake and
hers, get close to her that day. Let
her feel you reaching out to her with
a heart full of love and reverent
gratitude.
Such love' as. mothers bear is
never lost. If she has passed on you
may still feel the power and inspiration of her love and if you will but
pause in the mad chase for a moment
and send your message of love out
into the measureless void of the blue
vault of heaven we doubt not at all
that it will reach her and her eyes
will lighten in tender reminiscence
test is now in its tenth week, and
standing will be on her lips.

MISSING WORD CONTEST
NOW IN TENTH WEEK
The Educational Missing Word Contest iis now in its tenth week, and
ever since it was inaugurated there
has not been the slightest let-up ou
the part of the many- .contestants
who are hunting each week for the
elusive words. People in all walks
of life, more particularly the grownups, are entered, and they all have
found the feature the most interesting of anything they have ever had
to work on. The intense interest
proves the feature is first-class in every particular or the contestants
would not stick it out, as they always do whenever we run this feature. Now the end is drawing near
and the great question Is, who -are
going to be the winners? Well, no
one yet knows, but after two more
weeks you all will know.,,
The contest editor has some job on
his hands in tallying up the answers,
for they are here by the hundreds,
denoting the interest which has been
manifested. There can be no question but that the merchants' ads.
have been read and re-read and carefully studied by hundreds, and from
reports we have received some good
substantial results have been obtained by these merchants.. That is good
news and -we are pleased to make
these reports. It pays to advertise,
and it pays people to train themselves
to read and study advertisements.
Today you have new missing words
to locate, so get busy and try to find
them. Yes, we know we have been
giving you some stiff words, but if
you have been a careful student you
doubtless have located- all, or most
of them. Remember the cash awards
go to those who locate the most of
the words we have intentionally
omitted.
-Now let's go ahead on the tenth
week and be determined to finish under the wire, as the saying goes.
