Value of the Farm
The second Sunday in May is
Mother’s Day. This year it falls
on May 14th. This beautiful
thought of setting aside one day
in the year to be particularly de
voted to one’s mother was first
suggested by Miss Anna Jarvis
of Philadelphia, who founded the
Mother's Day International As
sociation to provide the necessary
organized support for the foster
ing of the movement. Thanks
largely to her efforts, Mother’s
Day has become a recognized in
stitution as the day on which
each of us should pause to
acknowledge our debt of affection
and gratitude to “the best
mother who ever lived,” on
which we should be with her if
we can, and, if we unfortunately
cannot, should make a point of
sending her a message of affec
tion and cheer.
in co-operation with the effort
to foster the observance of
Mother’s Day, the Western Union
Telegraph Comprny has provided
special telegraph blanks, ap
propriately decorated with an
artistic design[of carnations and
bearing the legend “Mother’s
Day,” on which all message of
those who wish toj send a word
of greeting to their mothers on
this occasion, by day letter or
night letter or in a short tele
gram, will be delivered.
The emblem of the day is the
white carnation, and it is the
hope of the Mother’s Day As
sociation that it will be worn by
everyone as a tribute of respect
not only for his mother, but also
for all the gentle and noble
motherhood of the land.

Most Marvelous Road Record in Motor Car History
The car used was a regular stock Touring Car, Model D 6-45, which sells on the Coast
at $1170. All former record holders were much larger and higher priced cars.
Another Remarkable Demonstratio i of
Buick Speed, Power, Endurance and Reliability
The cxtriiordinary time made by the Buick Six up
the long hard grades, over rough mountain passe.s,
fording streams and racing over miles of desolute des
ert in its intercity dusli was no surprise to us. We
knew that the Buick valve in head motor was capable
of driving the car at a continued speed of more than
sixty miles per hour when calledupon. We also knew
that the Buick chassis, notwithstanding the continued
heavy hammering over rough roads at unusual speed,
would be in the same perfect condition at the finish as
at the start. By this remarkable performance we have
demonstrated to the public the superiority of Buick
construction.
NOT A MISHAP ON THE ENTIRE SENSATIONAL RUN

cooling system, perfect construction and design.
