L. D, Gale County President, Monthly Preamble — “Backward, turn backward, oh time in your flight; Make mo a child again—just for to-night.” What a useless prayer it seems and yet there never a prayer which came deeper from the heart of the wanderer. For the time of cliild- hood comes but once, the flower time of humanity, and as the build * K) ' or ^°°i <s upon the I nil blown rose of glorious mother¬ hood there comes little realization to the childish mind that those beautiful petals must fall one by one to be blown back to the dust from which they came; and only the rare fragrance of mother love will remain to he wafted on thru the years to the one who has grown “weary of dust and decay weary of flinging my soul wealth away.” This is the youth of one more year. The babe has come gone in its stormy entreaty the boyhood is here. How much like humanity is the one cycle that is now one third gone! First came the baby step the days and nights that are giv- en to contemplation of the future Then the sprirgtime with all its wealth of action, its glow of feel¬ ing. The buds come forth and the wild flowers peep through the mosses. It is typical of manhood. 1 lien comes the summer with its daily toil toward a realization of maturity and which describes the earlier manhood. After that comes autumn. The leaves turn to gold and glorify the trees just as the gray hair of mother glori lies sweetest womanhood. Then the winter looks back in tender¬ ness of youth, so do the summer and the autumn and the winter look back on the days when the blossoms came and all the world was sweet with tenderness and Dry den once said, “Men are but chidlren of a lnrger growth” and in thoughts of mother this is in deed true of all mankind, For every man who loved his mother every man who looks back thru the past, becomes a dreamer in the boyhood of the year. lie looks back toward the old home and sees his mother sitting there. He lolls under the shade trees, his lingers toying and caressing the ears of that pal of every boys youth—his dog; hears his mothers sweet voice softly humming a rare old song as she busies herself with the evening meal. He hears the tinkle of the cowbell cn the hill¬ side and with a sigh—for youth is always tired at chore time—he re¬ luctantly ambles toward the cow barn with the tin milk pail swing¬ ing on his arm. The twilight comes and the day is done. Then the dreamer awakens to the fact that the old home is no longer there. The village churchyard holds most of the actors in that sweet dream story. And as he kneels by that little grassy mound Avith its simpler headstone, “Moth¬ er, he has but the memory of her love, her devotion and her patient teaching to guide him in the sum¬ mer and the winter of life. But what a Avonderful heritance the good mother leaves! Character and integrity, the guide post which lead to decency and keep you right. For as long as a man ie- memhers his mother and her kind¬ ly teachings, he is not going to go very far Avrong. No tongue can tell a mothers 11111*1 Organ «# Franklin County. love, no pen cnn transcribe it, no brush can trace it on the canvas an* l no instrument can measure it. It is such a sacred thin", so beau¬ tiful, and each test that has come has shown how limited is the af¬ fection of motherhood. No man has fallen so low while his mother lived who did not know that while her heart might break over his misconduct, she would find some excuse for him and would continue to love and defend him with her life. Step by step man has fallen until he has reached the depths, yet step by step bis mother’s love has followed him and hoped and hoped that some change might come. And what greater hell can come to a man than the tardy real ization that mother is dead and he was a contributor to her earthly sorrows and uncertainties? Perhaps half of our readers have been spared tint sorrow that comes with the loss of mother. Perhaps half of you still find opportunity to see much of sweet woman who brought you into the world. To those fortunate ones we offer this bit of advice, while we touch upon a subject that means so much to us “Tell Mother!” Tell her the very thing you dislike most lor to know. For if you can’t “toll mother,” you are pursuing a bar- ren ideality. You are doing some¬ thing that will not stand the acid test. Let that be vour proof of right or wrong, if you are in doubt. “Tell Mother!” For moth ev understands, mother knows. Mother isn’t as old fashioned as < you think she is. She has so much love in her heart that she keeps up with you. She knows what is best. If you can’t “tell mother,” young lady you are on the wrong track. If iou are ashamed for mother to know, you are ashamed of your-self, down in your heart. If you are keeping something from mother, you are spotting your character with splotches that will sink in and in. And this ad¬ vice is not wholly for girls and women. It is for the boys and the men, too. If you are ashamed to let mo! her know, there isn't any question about it. You are on the Avrqpg track, and you will find that there will be blots upon your character that should not be there It is a guide for all who still have a mother, “tell” her! Every evil companion you know and'associate with is a wr or.gto your mother. Every stealthy act of yours is a menance to her hap piness, a reflection upon her kindly teachings. As long as vou have no secrets from mother you are decent and clean living fit to lien¬ or any home. It is very Simple just tell mother. We loved our mother devot- edly and she saw muoh good in us us that we are afraid was not there. Iu our heart, we dedi- cate each Mothers’ number to her for all the sympathy, all the sen¬ timent, all the kindness and un selfishness Avithin us was implant¬ ed there by mother. We try to write what she Avould have us write in this preamble. It is a let¬ ter to motner as well as to our countless readers. We would gi\ r e all avc possess and our hope of the future to be able to sit by her side and talk Avith her tonight, there in the shade of the old home. You who are still blessed Avith her presence know with what longing we write,-™Jim Jam Junior.
