Mothers' Day
What en Important day is Sunday,
May 141   It Is mothers' day, a day aet
■*
aside by Anna Jarvls of Philadelphia
aa a simultaneous observance throughout the world of the love and gratitude men, women and children owe
their mothers. It Is a beautiful and
touching Idea, springing ln part from
real need ot revival of filial love and
respect—a need more urgent, perhaps,
In America than ln any other country today.
For many years past, man has worn
hts carnation In honor of his mother
and thousands upon thousands of sermons have been preached on the text,
"Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother."
This year, above all others. Mothers' Day has a much deeper meaning
than, tt has had before. Motherhood
hae alwaya meant sacrifice and love,
but It haa meant this year for a million American mothers, the supreme
sacrifice of giving to Ood and   their

country, the boys whom they had
reared to young manhood. There is,
however, a beautiful aide to the sacrifice. Mothers are being lifted, even
though on a cross, to heights of love
and of vision that they have never
reached before.*
No man could do nothing more noble or honorable than to sit down on
Mothers' Day and write to that grey-
haired mother It she ia away and
even better yet, to go and see her face
to face and show the respect and reverence that is due her. Mothers have
nearly given their all to give their
children the best that can be afforded
them and in the end have been tor-
gotten. Why do such cases exist? The
dollar-chasing game affords too much
amusement for some and there Is no
time left tor mother.
Wear a flower, ln her honor and show
her that she Is not forgotten and the
whole world will profit by the oh
servance of Mothers' Day.
Representatives from the War Risk

APPEAL  IN  BEHALP of
BEEKEEPERS ASSOCIATION
C. B. Hurlbut, president of the
Lorain County Beekeepers' association, makes an appeal to orchardists
In this vicinity not to spray fruit trees
while in bloom.
Two kinds of spray are used by the
fruit growers: one, known as lime
sulphur, to destroy the San Jose scale,
and the other to kill the apple worms
and other insects that develop during
the growth of the fruit. The lime sulphur is mainly applied during the dor
mant state before the trees are In leaf
or bloom, and Is never harmful to
bees. The other, usually arsenate of
lead solution, a poison, should be applied after the trees are out of bloom.
It Is sometimes put on when the trees
are in full bloom; but when given at
this time it Is liable to kill the bees,
and Is attended with danger, not only
to the bees but to the blossoms themselves.
So far as known, every experiment
station In the United States strongly
advises against spraying while *he
trees are In bloom. The bees are your
friends and they are valuable property.

Decoration Day
A committee composed of Mayor J.
J. Smythe and representatives from
fraternal and civic bodies, the school
and churches, are working out plans
for a fitting observance of Memorial
Dny. ,
The men that have undertaken this
task will make the arrangements for
Um dny .mnd will spend a considerable
amount of time and effort toward the
work. But to make It a success, they
must have tha earnest co-operation of
the cltlaens of Amherat.
Tho fact la prominent that in peat
yeara, many have considered the occasion of ao little significance, that
they planned to observe the day In
seeking pleasure In various types. Memorial Day waa aet aside for the pur
poee ot paying n tribute to the memory
ot tehoee who fought and died tor their
country, and not to celebrate it with
boisterous gayety as one would do on
July fourth and on Armistice Day.
There are but two members ot the
O. A. R. ln Amherst at tbe present
time. There were Just double this
many a year ago and It is the duty of
every cltisan to show his or hsr reverence toward those as well as the
Spanish-American War veterans, and
the American Legion, on this day.
The American Legion, aa a body,
could aid ln the proper observance of
Memorial Day hy turning out in a
body tor the occaalon, 100 per cent.
The time will coma in later years
when they, too, will he but a amall
body and by seeing to it now that tha
spirit ot tha day la properly taken,
will sat a good example tor the preaent generation aa well aa tho generations to come.
Honor the dear old mother. Time has scattered the
snowy flakes on her brow, plowed deep furrows on her
cheek, but is She not sweet and beautiful now? The
lips are thin and shrunken, but those are the lips that
have kissed many a hot tear from the childish cheeks
and they are the sweetest lips in all the world. The
eye is dim, yet it glows with all the soft radiance of holy love, which can never fade. Ah, yet. she is a dear
old mother. The sands of life are nearly run out; but,
feeble as she is, she will go further and reach down lower for you than any other on earth. You can not
walk into a mid-night where she can not see you; you
can not enter a prison whose bars will keep her out;
you can not mount a scaffold too high for her to reach,
that she may kiss you and bless you in evidence of her
deathless love. When the world shall despise and forsake you; when it leaves you by the wayside unnoticed,
the dear old mother will gather you in her feeble arms
and carry you home, and tell you of all your virtues,
until you almost forget that your soul is disfigured by
vices. Love her tenderly, and cheer her declining
years by holy devotion.
