THOSE PIONEER MOTHERS.
' "Th'v bravest hattlo ever ' tt'oiitfht was fought by Uie
piloihors of men." So runs Hie 11 vein so dear to the
wt.'nier.'.s heart: so ran the minds of the La i ramie com
mittee designated' to feel up a float for Hie Haker Pioneer
mid Oregon .Trail Fourth of -Inly celebration, and as a re
sult il:e (irande t.oiido valley will have a ".Mothers
I'loaf in the jianul'e. .
The jiart that Woman has played in the jiroar scheme
of laming the west is of greatest importance and it is
.very oreil'tabie to those plaiitiin the exhibit in JJaker
that the,v should consider tliowomon of early days.
The bobbed hair, the short skirt, the kalsomitied face
of today will i'-t be present on the .Mother's Float. Jn
tstead tiiere will be the iiioilcsl'lyl dressed woman, plain
but beautiful, with thoughts centered on grander and more
fflorioiis 'things than frivolitis c l the present. She will
be a woman whoso, vision, looks, deeply into the future
where she beholds sous aiid daughters in-owing to man
hood and womanhood: she beholds in her mind armies ol
Ktrong men capable and willing t bat tie for the nation, sin
cerely thinking ot the development ol one ot Wol s great
est portions of the world; she beholds things of moment for
future' generations, and interwoven through all of these
thoiurhts lornniiK' 111' solid inundation in Her ninid is
Christian love and motherly, tenderness so beautifully
mingled that the light in her eye is a benediction to men
That's the float La (irande and the (iramle Ifonde
valley will have in the parade at Laker on Judcpcudeuc(
day; that 'is the float which when analyzed will cause
thinking people to acclaim Ihe fickleness and falsity ol
the tinsel age; that is the float which will make stii ng
sturdy men who have known hardships, who have seei
the darkest hours, bow tlieir'hends and give inward thank;
for the; pioneer-mother whose sweet character mellowec
the harshness r.if car'liv day, society and set high above t!c
daily life that! inspiration for all to do right and work in
