SO BUY AND WEAR A CARNATION ' The American' War Mothers believe there is no more fit tinjj or beautif ul way to celebrate Mothers' Day than to pro- ' vide, carnations to.be worn in honor of the motherhood of America, the carnation. bein the flower used by their organ ization and formally adopted at its national convention held at Sacramentoj Cal., several years ago , And they also think there is no organization that can more fittingly do this work than, their organization, composed, as it is, of the mothers who sent their sons to support this country and its flag. V The, American War Mothers are devoting their energies and funds to assisting the service men and ex-service men in 1 EVERY WAY where assistance may be useful, and in assit ing to create better Americanim, peace time patriotism, and . more honor and respect for the flag . And in order to assist in raising funds for this purpose it has been the custom of the War Mothers to sell artificial carnations on the day before Mothers' Day "'All the proceeds going to the Veterans. - - '- ;.- " The custom has been endorsed by President Coolidge, army officers, governors,' mayors and public officers generally.,- - V.'' President Coolidge says: "I think the idea an excellent one; particularly in view of its purpose to assist the needy ex-service men.- You have my hopes for the fullest measure of success in the enterprise." si ' .General Pershing says: "I shall certainly wear a carna tion on Mothers Day. Aside from any consideration of your purpose in selling these flowers, it would be unthinkable that ,1 should -refuse a flower tendered by the American War Mothers' - " So- buy and wear a carnation today. v Your 10 cents, added to millions of others, will give a vast amount of help to disabled World war veterans. Every cent , goes for that purpose. There are no salaries paid, nor any overhead. It goes 100 per cent to the disabled veterans. The Statesman is pleased to be able to say that the cam paigns for grape growing are bearing fruit. There is no reason why the Willamette valley may not have a large "grape industry, with juice factories and jam and jelly factories. Put still water in the Willamette, and the Willamette valley will be able to reach the world markets at a much lower freight cost than is available to the eastern grape juice dis tricts. The whole improvement campaign outlined by the city administration, to be submitted at the election of next month, ought to be adopted. Salem is growing into a real city, and its people should step out and preprae for the period of greater progress that is just ahead. We can maintain indefi nitely, the splendid reputation Salem has as the most pro gressive city of its size in the Pacif ic northwest. It will pay the neonle of jf efforts or Falls City to get the road to the coast.-. It will i brinST a great country into the Salem trading district. The tiper road district? ought to.be sustained and allowed to - - " Junction. The auto races at. the. fair grounds. this afternoon will bring a big crowd to Salem from near and far places.
