A tittle of Everything And Not Much of Anything. By HUGH ROWB addressed to The Banner-Herald, MOTHER’S DAY ' Tofliiy Is Mother’s Day and will be observed all over the nation as the one day in the year when a bit of tribute will be paid to the sweetest, to the dearest, to th£,lhost loving and most lovable character in all ttje-widrld. hundreds of songs have been written eulogizing Mother, hundreds of poems have been penned in her > honoV’qnd one of the world’s famous paintings, that ' tit Whistler’s, is but one of thousands that have been treated by as many artists, having as their inspiration Mothw'as they knew her., E Buiieven all these have failed to crown her with the glhry that is hers. Castles with tessilated walls and pglaccs with gilded furnishings are no brighter than hi humble cottage without the touch of Mother’s Wild; Without the softness of Mother’s love, h?r sym- pathice, her patience, her faith and everlasting trust. Mother’s Day to many, though, will have no mean ing. [ Wtese are the undeserving. To others if will mean 4 simply the wearing of a white flower on the lapel; qthers will spend the day with her while there are tbpfe who cannot enjoy this privilege but who wlU send loving messages to cheer a devoted soul with thjb knowledge that she is the inspiration of a love the same as was Whistler’s mother, the same as was $r(na Jarvis’ mother, the originator of Mother’s pay.jT; ThtF one important thing today is, “Remember MothfcH” no mnttcr if she is your daily companion do some‘little thing today that will show your love for her; 11 She is many miles from you a message will be cherished more than you probably think. She knows today!!* Mother’s Day and she will be thinking of you perhaps more than you are of her. ' Do;not forget Mother today. Wear the flower but remenfber MOTHER and not the flower which will be a traveltry on the day without the sentiment. at WELCOME S. S. DELEGATES . ThW Regional convention of the Georgia Sunday School Association, will be held in Athens Monday, Tuesday and. Wednesday of next week. ' Delegates from all parts of Georgia will attend the ^^vorl -ffittlvlmcions. ; .

The conference two or three times,pitch day will take' up particular needs >of the ESjmdiW School life and seek to work out plans for “meeting these needs. Sottft# of the nation’s foremost religious educators ---will be (here to deliver addresses. Athens is - glad to have (here noted men and women and the hundreds of delegates as her guests during the convention. The] Banner-Herald believes that those who attend these meetings will profit greatly and that the city will be left a better place by having been the host to this convention of Georgians. ,' The world’s international trade (combined exports and imports pf all countries) totaled 45 billion dol lars la&J year, says the. statistician, O. P. Austin. Tills compares with only 40 billion dollars in 1913, the Lptp-war boom year, and 75 billions in 1920, the gecorff year. While the world’s, countries are buying and selling each other more than before the war, in dollars, the actual amount of business (tons, bushels, 6tc.k b far below normal, because the dollar buys a lot leshthan in 1913. .The price hoax rises to fool us, at evt'ry side. ■ The trice of incandescent electric light bulbs Is reduced A tenth by General .Electric Co. The makers i say that these prices arc lower than • what was charged before the war. Announcing tne cut, the company says it believes the public should have the < benefit, of economics effected in manufacturing. That'll sound policy, the right kind. Real cheapness, of co^me. depends not ro much on the price "but on how lpany hours h bulb is manufactured to give light before Tiurning out. Original cqst and service arc sepo^ays things. • Austria will do away entirely with its ministry of N «Wtr. >(No state has ever gone as far as this along the pence',road. The 30,000 soldiers, permitted to Aus- * fpa under the peace treaty; will be taken over by an- jbiranch of the government and transformed! in- police force. How many years until the big Vorldjpowcrs become sensible enough to follow Aus- tria’s;|^iad? It will take years, probably generations, lnit itprill come in time. As long as nations carry gunr,Someone is certain to start a shooting bee. mi • — k» rv YoU bead about Mary Pickford’s salary of $10,000 a weffc—over half a million dollars a year. There are hundreds of business men in America who make that fphch or more. Why do they catch your atten- tion and cling less than Mary? The big salary lures t most yf us. But what makes.the real impression is ^Kg$Jr*;fanip—Jicr silent applause. We’re all theatri- P-cal at; heart, long to strut before the audience. Let i the average person gratify his vanity and he’ll let you have the money. • Seven cities seek the G. O. P. national convention in 1921. The cities are Chicago, Cleveland, Kansas I Xaty,'San Francisco, Buffalo, Atlanta and Washing ton. Place your beta on Cleveland, in the “doubtful” state. As for the next presidential election, its re sult will depend at least half on whether we have na tional ^prosperity or hard times when the people .vote. .Nothing talks quite a* convincingly «8 money, es pecially in politics.

If we would adopt n daily motto and live up to It, how much better would be mankind'and how much easier it would bo fo: us whllo passing through life. Life Is short, at best, and there 1h ho much for nx to do. hut few of us do our full duty. Here Is a motto.

In speaking of the Importance of fhfs institution, the Savannah Morning News Ins the following comment: "Sometimes the people of the state generally forget that there are .too. scores of women rtudonts at the Georgia State College of Agriculture. Many of them are Ir specific training to become home economic agents; several are tak- the regular agricultural coursr to become expert farmers: some are specializing on dairying and some on noultry raising.

Benton, the director of the Junior Missionary Society of the Cornelia Methodist church, lhas given her whole heart to the unior (Missionary work. Mrs. Ben ton is a most distinguished, ener getic, consecrated Christian wo man, deeply devoted to her work and most useful to her church In many ways. She has given herself tirelessly to rational and' sensible junior mission work. She has put forth every effort in* directing the girls and boys Into deep thinkinig of what a lovely, sweet Christian character means to them. The Junior Society was organ ized In 1913 under the leadership of Mrs. W. H. Jarrell. After her death in 1914, Mrs. S. M. Benton was elected leader. In the begin ning they had only 15 members, now the membership has steadily increased to 65 with the average attendance of 40. The treasury has developed from $4.40 to $47.09 per annual. During the six years the Junior Society has raised $236.20. They open their miter box quar terly, which has created enthusi asm among the children tQ send their quarterly report and pay their yearly pledges to Mrs. M. E. Tilly the superintendent of Junior Mission work for tho North Geor gia Conference. They have 25 babies enrolled which Is all the babies in the church under two years old. One special meeting is held oacli year for these babies. Special committees are appoint ed from tho.adult class to visit this society. Tho society meets weekly and much has been accomplished through those regular meetings and strict adherence to the meas ures adopted by tho club. Tho mis sion study class and literary pro gram both are observed twice a month. They prepare their pro grams from the material sent by Mrs. Tilly for which the society Is indebted. Tho moetlngs oro fea tured by sentence prayer partici pated In by all. Mrs. Benton has outlined* lesson plans on 'China, with actual dem onstrations of things done in Chinn by using a littlo house mado bv her own hands as a model, which has created great enthusiasm among the children. The strict function of every do- part men t won for tho society first honor over every other similar society In the North Georgia con ference, and has received a cer- | tiflcate certifying to this fact The church and community | s fortunate In having a worker of Mrs. Benton’s ability and determi nation in giving these children this training. The fruits of he- w’ork will be known In part in this life and in the future life will she meet its gathered har vest. S. S. Leader R. D.
