MY MOTHER 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.

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 body because it contains provisions that will, in the future, afford them 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. The carrier body does not object to the method of consoidations as the been pursued in the past, and will not object to -a continuance of this important for you never know when P°Lcy, therby eliminating the surplus you will be called upon.

A good hen will molt in six weeks while the, or dinary hen of Taylor county molts over a period of six to eight months. Lewis Garrett, Reporter for F. F. A. of increased postal buiness. Mother’s Day stamps, of the 3-cent denomination, went on sale at all 'lost offices on last Thursday, and it is hoped that ‘he general circulation of these stamps will be enormous and commensorate of the accasion for which they were issued. H. R. 8919 was sent to the senate from the house of representatives on last Saturday, April 28, was read twice, as is the custom, and Was re ferred to the committee on post of fices and post roads, of which Senator Kenneth McKeller, of Tennessee, is chairman. The bill iwill be taken up in the committee and in the course of time will be referred back to the senate in Its present form, or with amendments attached thereto Since the carriers have accepted this bill in its present form, notwithstanding the fact that it means a reduction in sal ary, it is hoped that the senate com mittee will favorably report it to the •enaate as it has passed the house. iDISTRICT CONVENTION The time is* fast approaching for annual district conventions which are held each year May 30.
