Dear mother, you are so loving and
kind,
I am glad you are the mother of
mine.
Ever since the day I learned to love
you,
I have loved you always,
This love will continue until the end
of my days.
Mother, I shall always love you and
shall always be true
Because that is one way I can show
my love to you.
You have worked so that I would
be clean and kind,
And this shall always bear in- my

MOTHER’S DAY
In 1908, Miss Anne Jarvis, of

pastor, told him she would like very
much to see a day appointed when
the nation as a whole would pay trib-
Let me sing
To my blessed mother;
For her love to me is greater than
The love of any other.
There is a place within my heart
I open to no other;
To keep for you and your dear love
My very precious mother.
You’re one that shares my joys
And cheers when I am sad;
You are the greatest friend
That I have ever had.
Long life to you!
For there’s no other
Could take the place
Of you, dear mother.
—Frances Booth, 9th tirade.
MOTHER
I think that I shall never see
A woman lovely as she;
A woman whose hair is gray
Who’s bent from toil of yesterday;
A woman who has a wrinkled face,
Who talks all day about God’s grace
A woman whose back is bent
Who bears the age that time has
sent;
Just to feel her worn rough hand,
Is better than to hear the greatest
of bands.
Poems are made by one another,
But only God can make a mother.
—Bessie Dreizin, 10th Grade.
MOTHER
Mother is the one who’ll stand by
you,
It makes no difference what you
may do,
If you want something, she’ll do
without,
She’ll always love you, you need
not doubt.
Mother will help you
In whatever you try
And her interest in your life
Will never die.
Mother’s advice is always right
And will help you out of every
fight,
Many a boy has been a success,
Because his mother always knew
best.
—Harley Riley, 10th Grade.
MY MOTHER
The one who stands beside me
through the years,
And is always ready to dry ray
-flowing tears;
The one who loves me best of all,
And is always sad to see me fall;
The one who answers my every heed
And is always glad to supply my
need;
The one whose pride is never too
great
To help her child with her mistakes
The one who cheers me when I’m
sad,
The dearest friend I’ve ever had;
The one who bears the sweetest
name
And adds luster to the same.
Long life to her! For there’s no
other
That can take the place of my dear
mother.
—Mildred Montgomery, 10th Grade.
AGRICULTURE NEWS
The F .F. A. held a very interest
ing meeting Thursday evening, May
3rd. Several very interesting talks
were madfe by some of the members.
We discussed the different degrees
of F. F. A. work and planned to send
several boys to the Abraham Bald
win College at Tifton to receive
initiation for the junior farmer de
gree There are eight or ten boys j ne ®d and want
that are eligible to be promoted so
they want to be promoted before the
end of the school term.
Miss Larette Fickling met with us
to help us practice on the F. F. A.
Bongs. The chapter is steadily grow
ing and we wish to urge the parents
to encourage the boys in F. F. A.
work. There is nothing to lose and
everything to gain
By attending these meetings the
boys become able to lead a group
in an intelligent talk. This is very
that error came ahout in our eager
desire to give the information to the
carriers at the earliest possible mo
ment. We received news from our
national president on Saturday morn
ing after the copy for our regular
news columns for the following Mon
day had gone in to The Journal of
fice, so to get this news inserted in
the Monday’s columns, it was neces-
ary to hurriedly prepare an article
and carry it into Atlanta, and an
other on the same subject which had
been pcviously prepared had to be
withheld, consequently we did not as
is the usual custom, correct the copy
and that is the reason why the num
ber was incorrectly stated. We had all
the numerals that went in the right
number, but did not have them prop
erly placed.
Then in order to correct this mis
take it was necessary Monday to get
out a card to those whom we felt
would comply with the requesta and
tell them of the error.
But we got the news to the fellows
when it was really “news," and they
have responded most generously, for
all of which our appreciation is now
in order, and we want to say,
“THANK YOU!”
Notwithstanding the fact that this
bill carries a smaller appropaation
than is now necessary for the >pera-
tion of the rural dolivery service, it
has met the approval of the carrier

that security which they so badly
The bill, if enacted into law, will
mean a reduction in the carriers’ sal
aries of $3,COO,000 a year, or an av
erage reduction of approximately $75
to $80 for each carrier, but they are
willing to make this sacrifice if they
are properly protected from indis
criminate consolidations or reductions
in the equipment allowance.

H. R. 8919 was sent to the senate

last Saturday, April 28, was read
twice, as is the custom, and Was re

Kenneth McKeller, of Tennessee, is

in the committee and in the course
of time will be referred back to the

amendments attached thereto Since
the carriers have accepted this bill in
its present form, notwithstanding the
fact that it means a reduction in sal
