MOTHER’S DAY
Mother’s Day will be widely
observed throughout the nat
ion May 11. Probably no day
set apart for unofficial ob
servane has had such extens-1
ive recognition in so so short a
time as this day dedicated to
honoring and remembering
the mothers of the race. The
reason is obvious. No differ
ences of religious faiths, no
geographical frontiers, n o
chauvinistic race pride can
qualify the universal affection
mankind has for its mother
hood. s
Only where woman is a chat
tel, will the appeal of Mother’s
Day fail to reach. Elsewhere
it has required only the sug
' gestion to make Mother’s Day
an occasion of devotion and j
adoration. So pervasive is the
spirit of Mother’s Day. that,
those who have only her mem
ory to cherish observe the day
with the same propriety as
those whose good fortune it is ,
to have a mother to embrace or
to honor by message or floral i
symbol. Blessed is that son or
daughter whose privilege it
will be on Sunday to be in the
presence of their mother.
Cursed by their own ingrati- i
tude will be the son or daugh
ter who neglects the opportun
ity to pay homage to her.
Satisfied as the average moth
er is with so little, no child will
let Sunday pass without in
some fashion letting her know
of the love in which she is j
held.

RAILWAYS FOLLOW
NORTHWARD SWEEP
Projected construction plan?
of two transcontinental railway t
companies are causing some 1 ;
uneasiness in Edmonton, ac- j I
cording to the Calgary Herald., c
These include, the Herald | r
continues, according to a state
ment from Winnipeg, the joint
building of a line from Bonney
ville to Big River as a short
eastern outlet for products
from the Peace River country.
When completed this would
make a direct line to Fort
Churchill. Coupled with this
report is the information that a
cut-off from some point of the
Edmonton-St Paul line will be
constructed to connect with the
northern Alberta railways well
north of Edmonton.
The Bulletin declares that if '
these projects are carried
through, they will leave Ed
monton sidetracked so far as
much of the through traffic
miginating in the Peace River (
is concerned. It believes that !
'he trans-continental com pan- 1
ies are planning the joint ere- i
ition of another trans-Canada |
iine, north of the Saskatche- J
ivan River, and ultimately con- i"
meeting Fort Churchill on the i ?
just with an ocean port on the 1
west, presumably Prince Rup- i
jrt or Stewart.
The rapid opening up of thej*
cast hinterlands of the four i1
western provinces, and the dis-1 ?
;overies of rich mineral Wealth Ic
rnr north of present populated
ireas, point to the necessity of e
ailway extension beyond the
present network of lines. ! 3
THE IDLE WORD
The idle word that stings is j
ts old as the human race and is
n many respects one of man’s j
nost grievious faults. Spoken ;
houghtlessly or spoken in a 1
nompnt of irritation, it says
nore than the speaker meant.
Vt least it says more than he
vould have said had he taken
econd thought. Too often in
i hasty moment one who real
y would not for worlds cause
asting hurt does just that be
ause he reaches for the first
emark that will register.

E. D. Haddon tells of a big
business man Outside who at
the wind-up a big lawsuit
in which he was a principal,
had to go on a journey before
the court’s decision was ren
dered. He instructed his attor
ney to wire him the result. Lat
er the lawyer wired: “Justice ,
has prevailed.”
A few hours later he received
the following message from his
client, “Appeal decision at

Benediction.
“I attribute all my success in i
life to the moral, intellectual,
and physical education which I
received from my mother.”
George Washington.
“My mother was the making
of me. She was so true, so sure
to me, and I felt that I had
someone to live for; someone I
must not disappoint.” Thomas
A. Edison.

These idle words go deed.deep
into the heart and memory of
the one to whom they are ad
dresed. There is no way of
reaching this harm by law and
courts. There is no way of re
solving that one will never
say the thing that causes need
less hurt, except by resolving
to build up a habit in one’s life
of saying only kindly things
until quiet reflection has shown
the need of something else.
This is not a text for weak- j
lings, a counsel of meekness to j
the point of being trodden up- j
on. It was not a weak man who j
prayed: “Set a watch before ■
the door of my lips,” nor aj
fool who wrote, “She openeth j
her mouth with wisdom, and in
her tongue is the law of kind
ness.”
Just for Fun
Misery loves company. They
come and go together.
A man is also judged by the
scandals he keeps up with.
It seems that spring is some- j
what inclined to visit a few i
times before coming to stay.
All is expensive in love and i
war.
According to Hubert Thomas, |
while men are busy looking i
their age, the girls are just asi
busy overlooking theirs.
We have a leisure class in
America, but usually it is
called a sex.
Dear lady, it is easy to boss a
lusband, but impossible to re- j
