MOTHER’S DAY
Mothei’s Day will be widely observed
throughout the nation May 8. Probably no
day set apart for unofficial observance
has had such extensive recognition in so
short a time. The answer is obivious. No
differences of religious faiths, no geogra
phical frontiers, no chauvinistic race pride
can qualify the universal affection man
kind has for motherhood.
Only where woman is a chattel, will
the appeal of Mother’s Day fail to reach.
Elswhere it has equired only the sugges
tion to make Mother’s Day an occasion of
devotion and adoration.
So pervasive is the spirit of Mother’s
Day that those who have only her memory'
to cherish observe the day with the same
propriety as those whose good fortune it
is to have a mother to embrace or to hon
or by message or floral symbol. Blessed
is that son or daughter whose privilege
it will be on Sunday to be in the presence
of their mother. Cursed by their own in
gratitude will be the son or daughter who
neglects the opportunity to pay homage
to her.
Satisfied as the average mother is with
so little, no child wil let Sunday pass with
out in some fashion letting her know of
the love in which she is held.
THE ROSE
Roses will bloom again soon, and the
growers thereof will find it no hardship
to rise early and abor late over their be
loved bushes, nor any expense too great
to bring these blooms to perfection.
Ask the rose-grower why this is so, and
he will reply something like this. “Other
flowers seem to have limits beyond which
their culture cannot be pushed. But the
rose is the flower of infinite possibilities.
No matter how perfect one bloom may
seem, we can safely say that a still more
perfect bloom may be achieved. There
seems to be no limit to the culture of this
wonderful flower.”
The rose over who realizes the truth of
this general statement has stumbled upon
the Infinite among the flowers. The mas
ter Cultuist is pressing toward the same
revelation of beauty and harmony in the
life of man. The rose is a symbol of life.
Walt Whitman used to say that he
found letters from God dropped every
where along the street, and it some were
passed by ignorantly or unconsciously, oth
ers would promptly come.
The rose, in its message of infinite per
fection, beauty and growth, is such a let
ter.
tomers that vrices were lowrer and quality
higher at another mercantile establ ;li-
ment? In ether case the disloyal employe
would loose ids job and the respect of all.
But isn’t the citizen w'ho trades out of
town just as disloyal to his home town as
the employee who deprives his employer
of business? Those wno buv by mail or
go away to shop are telling the patrons
of their town that they could do better
elswhere. They take away from the home
town merchants not.only their own bus
iness but that of others.
Like bargain-hunting and window-shop
ping, buying at home, *with practice, be-
:omes a good habit just as out-of-town
trading grows upon one as a bad habit.
And u is feared that most mail order and
ocher foreign buying is from force of hab
it rather than from any hope of profit or
gain in satisfaction. Seldom is there a leg
itimate excuse for trading elswhere than
it home.
What would be the dividends payable
io Vernonia if every citizen on December
31, 1927, could truthfully say he or she
had not violated a community resolution
for 1927 to “buy at home?” The extra
dividends that would accure to the bene
fit of the comunity and each of its citizens
would be more business for its merchants,,
more money in ciculation, more employ
ment and more prosperity for all.
THE GRADE SCHOOL
With the bond election voted down,
local folk are now wondering what should
be done to give the pupils classrooms that
they need; it is certain that they should
be taken out of the unsanitary rooms they
now occupy in the basement of the Wash
ington school.
With the changing population in Ver
nonia from single men to married men,
we have a condition here of a growing
child population in much greater propor
tion to the increase in adult population.
The school census shows a probability of
an increase of about 80 in the grade school
enrollment for next fall. Where room will
he found for them is not known, but with
the conditions rapidly becoming worse,
it is apparent that something must be done
about it.
The school building that was proposed
would have classroom facilities to accom
modate the expected increase of the num
ber of children for the next five years
only. At the end of that time a cry would
go up for more classrooms. And the ques
tion of the taxpayers’ ability to pay at
that time is a poor issue upon which to
gamble now. The debt would take about
15 years to pay off; and every few years
another bond issue. No, that is not right,
nor good ’ business.
A method of procedure for the future
must be worked out which will not entail
unnecessary expenditure of money and
dill have the school needs amply provided
for. That there may be no misunderstand
ing again, let a public mass meeting be
called where this matter can be threshed
out to entire satisfaction.
A GOOD RESOLUTION
THE INVISIBLE SLAVES
What would hapen if an employe of
a bank should tell its patrons to do their China has four times as many people

man in a store should whisper to the cus- has the equivalent of ten times the number
of effective workers found in China.
In an article in the Atlantic Monthly,
Thomas T. Read lays down the principle
that the only way to have material things
is to work. Then he subjects this princi
ple to further subdivision as follows:
First, work must be done to avoid re
petition, as piping water from the spring
instead of continuously carrying it.
Second, work must be annalyzed to do

His third and last conclusion is that

Ordinary window glass absorbs I
the ultra violet rays from sun
shine, thus prohibiting the real
value of the sunshine from reach
ing the bodies of the fowls. Poultry
house windows sohuld be higed so
they may be raised during days
of sunshine in cases where direct
sunlight is not reaching the fowls
through open fronts or outside ex
posure. Some use is now made of
a glass substitute in brooder and
laying houses, because they admit
both sunlight and the ultra" violet
rays.
The average poultrymen supplies
only charcoal, hard quarts, grit
and oyster shell, to supplement the 1
mineral matter in grain and masn I
ration. Where only one shell ma I
terial feed is fed, there is no
question but that oyster shell is
the best source. However, in com

a supply of granulated bone and
a limerock grit, in adidtion to
the three named above.
