MOTHER'S DAY
Since 1914 the United States has officially
designated the second Sunday in Way as Moth
er's Day. On this day tributes are paid to
those who have loved and cherished us and
who in doing so have formed the destiny of a
nation.
As we look back through the ages we can
see many instances where a mother's influence
has been the great force behind some person
of national or worldly renown. Abraham Lin
coln said "All that I am or hope to be, 1 owe to
my Mother." Again a mother's Christian
spirit was voiced by her son Robert IJurns, in
the many MHigs and poems he lias given us.
When a mother praised the rough sketch drawn
by her small son and kissed him, she little
dreamed that she was giving to the world a
great painter, lint this boy was the famous
painter "West." Ami he said, "My Mother's
kiss made me a painter." Kipling realized the
depth of a mother's love and expressed it in
these lines:
"If I were hanged on the highest hill
Mother o' mine, Mother o' mine,
I know whose love would reach up to me still,
Mother o' mine, Mother o' mine."
We can't all write poems expressing our
love for our mothers, but we can all show our
appreciation in some way. William McKiiiley
always wore a white carnation in honor of his
mother. From this habit and because of the
fragrant .purity of the flower, the white carna
tion as a symbol of Mothers Day has become a
popular custom.
We see as we look back tiiat the old prov
erb, "One good Mother is worth more than a
hundred school masters" has been proven. For
almost all worth-while characters have cherish
ed a memory of an influential mother.
In honoring mothers today we are obeying
the first commandment with promise: "Honor
thy father and thy mother, that thy days may
be long upon the land which the Lord thy Cod
giveth thee." During the last hours of His life
our crucified Savior remembered His mother
and placed her in the care of the beloved
disciple.
As all the heat in the world comes directly
or indirectly from the sun, so does all the love
in the world come from Cod. Nearest like the
love of Coil is the mother's love. It is contin
ually radiating in all of its purity. And by its
light we are guided along the pathway of life.
If we all were only the men, women, boys or
girls that our mothers think we are or the ones
they wish us to be, then we would be very near
to Cod and to each other.
Since underneath all the display we make
there runs a current which amounts to much
more, we should always remember that no
matter how great our mother's love, Cod's love
is stronger. And should there come a time
when we feel a call to service, we should follow
the example of Christ and "go about our
Father's business." So perhaps in the heart
of someone today there will be formed a resolu
tion to live a pure, nobler life as a token of
thanks to Godj for the blessing of a Christian
mother's tender care and watchfulness.
To those who have mothers gone on be-,
fore, may this service be an inspiration and may
they strive a little harder to do the things that
will enable them to meet mother again. May
we be drawn closer together by this public ex
pression of our love for these God-given help
ers. Ex. '
The Chicago world fair mixes four kinds of
grass and clover seeds and claims a real nov
elty in a bristly lawn that leaps from grass seed
to lawn mower in three weeks, but in the genial
warmth of coming Saturdays many a house
holder trundling a grass cutter will suspect his
lawn has had that overearnest seed mixture all
the time. Ex.
MINING POSSIBILITIES
During the past week we have had some
interesting conversations with different per
sons who are interested in mining, and in the
possibilities of mining the minerals that are in
these hills.
Of course, we realize that almost every
person who has any slight trace of valuable
minerals on his land usually puts a much high
er value on it than he should, but neverthe
less, there are thousands of dollars worth of
minerals within a few miles of Waynesville that
have not been found.
Every day several people' stop in and look
at the samples of minerals on display at this
office, and the enthusiasm that this display has
created among those who know minerals has
been most amazing. Practically everyone asks
us that question, "What is being done about
mining these minerals?" The only answer we
can give is, "very little, if anything."
We have said before in this column, that
someday this country will be deriving the
major part of its income from the minerals
that are now in these hills. Just how soon it
will be before we come to that, we don't know,
but we believe that someday some large mining
interest will establish here a smelter that will
turn our hills into cash.
THE NEW FOOT) ALL FIELD
Next fall when the Waynesville football
team starts entertaining the fans of this sec
tion, they will have a brand new field on which
to display their playing ability. During the
past 10 weeks almost a score of men have been
busily engaged in leveling the field which was
over three feet higher at the upper end than
it was at the gym.
The spectators will have a belter view of
the field because of the three foot bank on the
other side of the field.
There is no question but what Waynesville
is truly a football town, and deserves a splen
did field, as the football team makes enough
money to support the remainder of the athletic
program of the school for the entire year. Not
only is football at the high school entertaining
to the taxpayers here, but we might also add
it is profitable, because what the football team
did not make for supporting other athletic pro
grams, the taxpayers would have to pay or not
have them in the school.
Coach Weatherby tells us that he antici
pates another winning team next fall, and cer
tainly the new field will aid them in fulfilling
Coach Weatherby's prediction.
THAT TAX DOLLAR AND THE WAY IT IS
SPENT
That tax dollar you give the American
government do 'you know how it is broken up
when the government goes to spend it?
Over four billions of them troop to the
treasury in Washington to pay for public servi
ces a mountain of money.
Where all of it goes ought to be of interest
and concern.
Let's divide this federal tax dollar up and
see :
Two cents to West Point' and Annapolis.
Five cents to veterans' hospitals.
Two cents to military research.
Twenty cents to pensions.
Twenty-five cents to building and upkeep
of the navy.
Thirty cents to maintenance of the army.
And for all the other functions of the gov
ernment, legislative, judicial, diplomatic and
administrative, 1(5 cents. .
Or, 81 cents of out every dollar goes into
the federal treasury goes to pay for war that
either has been or that the country is afraid is
going to be.
Too comic to cry about ! Julian Miller in
The Charlotte Observer,
A FEW FACTS THAT YOU PROBABLY
. DIDN'T KNOW
Some one told us the learned Prince of
Granada, heir to the Spanish throne, was kept
in solitary confinement 33 years, He read the
Bible constantly and with a nail on the rough
walls scratched these discoveries:
In the Bible the word Lord is found 1,853
times, the word Jehovah 6, 855 times and the
word Reverend but once. The 8th verse of
Psalms is the middle verse of the Good Book
and the 9th verse of Ester is the longest. Each
verse of the Psalms ends alike. No names or
words with more than six syllables are to be
found. Psalm XXII is the most beautiful and
inspiring chapter. ,
In both books of the Bible are 3,586,483
letters, 773,693 words, 31,373 verses, 1,189
chapters and 66 books. Isaiah IX is the chap
ter for new converts to study, the Prince be
lieved. ' '.'"::':,
We wonder how many people in prison to
day read their Bible as carefully as the Spanish
heir? '

people without the fruits thereof.

sheep, and doves were needed. It was
Impracticable for people from distant
parts to bring their sacrifices with
them. They brought money, therefore,
and bought the animals needed. This
privilege was provided in the Jewish
law (Deut. 14:21-2G). In such cases
exchange was necessary. However,
When evil men used it as an oppor
tunity for gain it became nn offense

made a scourge of cords and drove
out the money changers .(John 2:1.'),
overthrowing their tables nnd pour

declared himself. to lie the Lord of the
temple, anil one with God. The scribes
and chief priests grasped the mean

murderous hate and sought -to 'destroy'
him.
III. Jesus' Authority Challenged (vv.
27.-:',;!). .
1. I'.y whom (vv. 27, 2S). The chief
priests, the 1 scribes., and the elders
demanded that he show by what au
thority he accepted the-honors of the
Messiah and by whom ho was given
the right to cast out the ihonev
changers.
2. Jesus' answer (vv. 29, 30). He
responded to their challenge by a
question- which placed them in a di
lemma. Since John was his forerun
ner, the commission of John and Jesus
had the same source. If John's com
mission waa from heaven, Christ's
commission was from heaven likewise.
If they had accepted John's message,
they would have been ready to accept
his. They were powerless to destroy
John because the people accepted
John as having been sent from
heaven. -.'''.
3. The answer of the chief priests
and scribes (vv. 31-33). Perceiving the
force of the dilemma In which they
were placed, they confessed that they
did hot know the source of John's
commission. These rulers had no af
fection for Jesus so they rejected his
message and sought to destroy him.

Of sawdust, when building a hut.

To make the hole bigger;
He's sore if his cutter won't work.
He's not bothered with plans
Of cheap artisans.
