MOTHER'S DAY Mother's Day will be observed by millions of Americans and it right that some special notice should be taken of the day set aside to honor the Mothers of the nation. It should be borne in mind, how ever, that the observance of a day, once a year, does not constitute the most appropriate or an exclusive method of honoring motherhood in general or mothers in particular. There are men and women who na turally revere motherhood; they do not need a special day. They are worried, for example, by the sad plight of unfortunate mothers who suffer unnecessarily in connection i with the birth and care of their chil dren. Certainly, we recommend the ob servance of Mother's Day but we al ' so advise that support be given to agencies set up to assist mothers throughout the nation. It is all right to praise motherhood but the best way to show praise is to make it pos sible for all mothers to raise their children in a satisfactory manner. WILL WAR COME? The probability of war in Europe continues to engige the attention of the American people. Nearly every one wants to know whether there will be a war and the answers are some what conflicting. . . Those who look for war assume ?.hat Hitler is bent upon establishing a great German empire and that his expansion will inevitably meet with resistance, which will begin a great struggle. Some even believe that the beginning of war depends solely upon Hitler's conclusions as to Germany's* chance to win. Another good argument thai is frequently heard, is that the in ternal condition of Germany has reached such a point that the collapse | is a question of time. This being so, the argument is that before permit ting such a collapse the German lead ers will risk a war. On the side of those who maintain that no war is near, the argument is that if Hitler and Mussolini had in tended to fight the democratic na tions, they would have done so; the theory being that Great Britain and France, through vast rearmament programs,'are catching up with the dectator states and that every week sees them gain in relative strength. Consequently, those who accept this reasoning, say that if Hitler and Mus solini had intended a test of strength,1 they would have taken advantage of their superiority during the past six mftirtht Li. -J Anotner use 01 uwugni, auvaiaw by those who do not expect a mr, is the thonght that the economic con dition of Germany is so bad Oat it would be hopeless for Hitler to at tempt a war. Already, it is pointed oat, there is a scarcity of food, as well as raw materials. Gold is virtually non-existent and the finances of the nation seem hopeless. The argument is that Germany today cannot with stand a naval blockade, that she ean notexpeet a short, guide and success ful war and that therefore, knowing ' that defeat is certain m a long war, the German leaders will not start to fight' So ran some of the argonauts in the debate. Nobody known what is going to take plaee in Europe. War or peace depend wpon what Mr. Hit ler determine to do. Nobody knowns r what he has in mind.

FRANCIS MARION DAVIS, THE IDEAL MOTHER God has decreed no nobler profes sion in all fo* world than that of be ing a mother. This He has dignified and made divine. Moving majestically in the sphere of motherhood, we find Mrs. Frank Davis, queen of the home of one of Farraville's most successful mer chants. As quiet and unobtrusive as a benediction, she radiates love and and far-reaching hope.* There is nothing abqut her to mar the per fect hanroay of her gentle life, not a jarring noce in the whole symphony of her living. She reminds us of Haw thorne's characterization of Phoebe, "She is like a prayer, offered up in the beauty of one's mother tongue." A soft voice, made melodious by frw-oTwiwg accustomed to motherly soothlngs and encuragement, is one of her most impressive beauties. This voice, the gentle touch the subtle, in tangible, yet magic air that she car ries about her permeates the very soul and mind of those whose lives she touches either daily or occasionally. Tennyson pays his tribute to such mothers as Mrs. Davis, when he says: "No scholar, save in gracious house hold ways; Not perfect, nay, but full of tender wants; No angel, but a dearer being, all dipt In angel instincts, breatheing Para dise; Interpreter between the gods and men; Who looked all native to her place, and yet, On tiptoe seemed to touch upon a sphere To gross to tread. And all men s minHn perforce Swayed to her from their orbits as they moved, And girdled her with music. Happy he with such a mother! Faith in womankind beats with his blood, and trust In all things high comes easy to him." ?Alvada Gunn, a teacher of * the late Dr. Francis Marion Davis.

He was sure that she was needed; - for of her kind there were few, Who have such lofty morals, and aims .so good and true. He gave her to a family, that she did truly bless; And, to a host of friends, she always gave her best. She never was so healthy, yet cheery as could be; And, always passed on sunshine to all she chanced to see. But now her life is over, and God has called her home, Leaving us only memories, and an example for our own. Now, all of us have a Mother, or someone who is fine; To lift us from the sordid, and give us the sublime. So try to get a model that you can live up to, " Take all of their good qualities, and add your own anew. ?Mary Alice Harris. LITTLE MOTHER Oh yes, little Mother of mine, how faithful and kind you have been. Through years of sorrow and glad ness you would smile at us and sing sweet lullabies. We know Mother you are growing old for your eyes are dimmer and there is silver in your hair, but do you think our love for you has les sened, when from you we had W part? Don't you think those days of parting caused our hearts to ache? How sweet your memories linger, Mother of our childhood days, and do you think we can ever forget the lit tle prayer you taught us and the times you tucked us in our beds with care? < How sad Life wpnld be without,you Mother* Listen, kind friends, nave you written Mother a line? If not, do it now, for there is no better time. Always think of Mother, who is so true. ?Mrs. Roy Skinner. FOUNTAIN NEWS (By MBS. M. D.
