In one of our exchanges under date of May 20. 1018. it said
yesterday was Mother’s Day. We sent mother a letter or a bouquet M W
or a telegram; or we visited with her and talked and talked and,
perhaps told her some things that have been in our heart but which
sons and daughters seem to he able to express on only a few occasions.
Mother was happy yesterday. She doesn’t ask for attention and
I++-H-++++++++++++++++++-M+++++++++++++M-++++++J
consideration and little expressions of appreciation—but she enjoys
them and she will remember them long after the donors will have
forgotten them. The letter which she received will be put safely, but a
++
quietly, away so that she may read it again and again. The flowers
will carry fragrance and comfort to her long after the petals have
++ ++-M-+++++++-M-+++++++-M-++++++++-M--*-*-l-+++++++
dropped off. The good words will remain in her mind for months,
if not years, after the sons and daughters will have forgotten that
Saturdays Program will portray
they had been expressed.
But why not make Mother’s Day out of today and tomorrow?
Mothers have not reared their families and given the sons and
daughters their training and help and comfort and cheer by offering
- IN—
their services on only one day a year. Mothers work the year round
“E X I L E ”
for their children.
So why shouldn’t the children work the year round for mothers?

into a better man. Mighty is the unending influence of Mother.
On the blue mountains of our dim, distant childhood you
and I can look back and see the path that Mother marked out
for us. And how far from the way we have gone!
Oh, what a wonderful gift God made to the world when
He sent the mother to men!
Somewhere I have read something about the sins of fath
ers being visited on their children.
Somewhere in France the virtues of mothers accompany
the American army.
Somewhere in France the wireless of affection is working
right now between mother and son.
A mother’s gentle, sincere and silent prayer goes straight
to the throne of God and then back to her boy. It can’t miss.
You tell me heaven is a long way off, and it is if a boy’s
mother is there.
Do you know. I believe one letter from a mother to her
soldier son is worth more than a sermon from Cape Cod to
Cape Colony.
If a boy, in this terrible struggle, should forget his God
during a fight and only remember his mother when wounded
or dying, I am just enough acquainted with God to be able to
assure the boy that it will be well with his soul.
In this war there is one human that makes the supreme
sacrifice—the soldier’s mother.
T his Is the slogan of the Board of
D irectors of the Fair, who are leav
ing nothing undone that will help to
m ake the Fifty-seventh Annual Fair
th e biggest and best ever held. Ore
gon has an enviable reputation for
alw ays being Just a little ahead of
every other state and her slate fair
is to be no exception. Secretary A.
H. Lea, announces many new fea
tures of an interesting and instructive
nature in the way of exhibits and
program s and as President Wilson
has advocated the continuance of
fairs this year, despite the terrible
crisis confronting the country, it is
expected that the attendance will be
very large.
