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.

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. Mrs. J. C. Melcbert of Fostorla Is spending the week with Rev. A. Egll and family of Church street. Miss Helene Smith ufternoon In Elyria. spent Saturday 2ty»? (JPuwn of AU 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. LAST CHAPEL OF YEAR WILL BE HELD FRIDAY The lost chapel of the school year wfll be held in the high school auditorium tomorrow morning at 8:30. The Senior class will have charge of the exercises.

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. Mrs. J. C.

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.
