Sunday
Gov. Sleeper has set Sunday, May
r« for Mothers' Dsiy and requests all
| to properly observe tbe day. He says:
k^ ** Although * its" observance   dates
back but a few years, Mothers' Day
; hos already beeome a national in-
jstitnt-on and is fittingly and tenderly
; Celebrated by all classes and costdi-
! tions of people throughout the land.
|^**It is well that we should pause
I amid the hurry and hustle of life and
let our thoughts go back to the days
| Of y long " ago, as we cherish the
'■memory of the mothers who.
% left us. While ; tbey were with
§ ns their chief concern was our wel-
y fare and comfort and happiness, and
f- the mothers of today are animated
y by the fame spirit of devotion and
H sacrifice. Indeed, nowhere in human
{ life is the -spirit or unselfish service
Lao well exemplified as in tbe devotion
y of mothers to tbeir homes and
|, families. ..y '_ --A--..'
y/<- *'Tbat  we may pay a  special  trib-
Y ute o* affection to the mothers who
% still live and honor the memory of
iy. those who have gone from us, 1 dcs-

Y A**3 u n d a y,    M ay- ninth/ next,
Y as Mothers' day, and call upon our
Z people, both young and old, to gather
Z io their places of worship and take
^ part  in   services   appropriate to   the
Y day and by the wearing of a red
A flower for the living mother and a
£_ white for the dear departed, to sym-
y bolize their love and reverence for
'-'•■- the mothers'of the nation.-
"Let me   suggest,   too, that   absent
sons and   daughters   take   this   occasion , to . visit the   mother in   the  old
Z: honae,   or, where   such   a visit   is im-
l   possible, that they send a message of
~   cheer and  greeting. By thia may
Y mothers know • that in the rush of
A- affairs tbay are not forgotten.   '   Y.-Y-'
*\E* further  request   the   people   of
r^  Michigan,    8unday,   to   display     the
Y United   States'flag    in   tbeir   homes
or otber   suitable places,   as a fitting
A" expression of. their desire to pay

"The United States produces but
very little more food tban it consumes
and it will be bnt a very short time
before we will be forced to import
food from foreign countries for borne
use." says Verne H. Church, field
agent of the Michigan co-operative
crop reporting burean. "Tbe food
conditions will grow worse because
there is a constant flow of farm work
ers from the farms to the city'/, continues Mr. Church. "This means a
constant failing off in production.
Another reason why tbe food shortage
will be more of a menace in the future
is the fact that a large percentage of
tbe men left on tbe farms are old men
who cannot <_o tbeir full quota of
work." The younger men have been
drawn to tbe cities. The only tbing
tbat can bring about a stoppage of
this lack of food production is a
cbange in industrial cbnditions. A
sudden break io industry sufficient to
cause a lowering of wages, or lessen
tbe demand for * automobiles, engines
or some other articles of manufacture
would drive the men back to tbe farm
and food production would be resumed." ,..'■/.'.■'.- ■; >

What to Forget.
If you would increase your happiness and prolong your life forget
your neighbors fau.ts. Forget tbe
fault finding and give a little thought
to the causa wbicb provoked it.
Forget the peculiarities of your
friends and remember only the pood
points which make you fond of them.
Forget all the personal quarrels you
may have heard by accideDt, . aod
whicb, if repeated, would seem a
thousand times wor_e than they are.
Blot out, as far as possible, ail tbe
disagreeables of life; tbey will came,
but will only grow larger when you
remember tbem, and the constant
thought of acts of meanness, or
worae still, malice will only tend to
make yon more familiar witb tbem.
Obliterate everything disagreeable
from   yesterday,   start    out    with    a
!clean sheet today, and write   upon   it
for sweet memories  sake   only   those
things which are lovely and lovable,
y     ....      i.      Mrs. Frank Cosgrove.

In.spite of the competition of Japanese white beans and a large bold-
over in the American cron, beans are
still a good crop for the better Michigan growers, declares Prof. J. F. Cox
head of tbe farm Crops department
at M. A. C. It is reported on good
authority tbat tbe Japanese acreage
has not been expanded during tbe
cast year, owing to th" f~ar that an
effective tariff might vn placed on
beans by the United Slates Govern
ment. . *        < -
"The Japanese bave not competed
heavily witb Red Kidney beans," says
Professor Cox. These are in great
demaud, and it would appear that a
considerably larger acreage of Red
Kidneys could be planted on the
better soils of Michigan. As for white
beans, Michigan's product ie so well
known for quality that it can stand
very strong competition.
"For the good bean growers, wbo
thoroughly understand bean production and are located under conditions
tbat will* produce good beans, tbis
crop should be a good one- during the
coming year. However, many of the
marginal growers (those who produce
very near or below the average yield)
may do better with some other* crop.
- "Tbe present shortage of labor has
increased the importance of securing
larger yields per acre, and thus lowering tbe production cost per bushel of
beans. Thorough and early preparation cost per bushel of beans.
Tborough and early preparation of
the seed bed; planting the highest
yielding varieties; and • tbe use of
fertilizers will aid in securing tbis increased prodnction.
"Every attempt to force down legitimate high prices of foods will
ultimately result in reduced supply
aud higher prices", says O. W. Waid,
extension specialist at tbe Michigan
Agricultural College, and President
of tbe Potato Association of America.
"Consumers must learn tbat higb
food prices are absoiutly necessary,
so long as present conditions prevail.''
Farmers realize tbat the laboring
classes are entitled to reasonably bigb
wages under present conditions, according to Mr. Waid, but they ask
tbat tbe wage earner be made to realize tbat tbe demand for higher and
higher wages will never solve the
High Cost of Living. Every boost in
wages to a large class of laboring
men draws many men and boys from
the farms; thus lowering the production of foodstuffs.
"Investigation shows that tbere are
25,000 leas men working on tbe farms
of New York state this season than
in 1919, while Ohio finds a reduction
of 10% in its farm labor supply.
There will be nearly 1,000,000 acres -
less in crops in Ohio -thia year tban
last.. Throughout the country the
shortage of labor on tbe farms is much
greater than it was at any time during
tbe war. Thousands of farmers in
Michigan will plant only sucb crops
as tbey can care for and harvest witb
their own hands.
"If carried on too far, the preBen&
boycott on potatoes may result in a
potato shortage another year. The
extreme prices bekig asked for potatoes at present are tbe result of a
shortage greatly enhanced by lack of
facilities to market the potatoes held
by producers. Tbe growers are not
to blame for tbe present situation; in
fact, because of inability to get potatoes to market they are profiting but
little by the present ~ higb prices.
While individuals shoaid bs encouraged to use tbe foods wbicb are most
abundant, the potato boycott is in
danger of hitting tbe innocent and
missing the guilty."
