Rincker
MolhersDay to be
Observed Sunday
Next Sunday, MaylOth, will bo ob
served throughout the state nnd prac
tically the nation as Mother's Day and
on that day it Is thu custom for all to
wear carnations in honor of their
mothers, living or dead. Tho distinc
tion as to whether the mother is dead
or living is made by tho way of wear
ing tho flower. For the living mother
the flower should be worn with the
blossom pointing upward and for the
dead mother it should bo worn with the
bloom downward.
The day will be universally observed
in the churches here and- special ser
vices will be held both in the Sunday
schools nnd at the church services.
The Mothers' Day idea originated in
190G with a young lady in Philadelphia
whose mother died during tho first pnrt
of May. She asked her friends to join
with her nnd wear the white flower and
tho idea was soon spread state wide and
a few years later it was taken up by
the senate and the Mouse or representa
tives. The day fixed upon is the second
Sunday in May and the Mothers' Day
movement is now beincr spread all over
the world. The white carnation,
which is the national flower, was
adopted as the mothers' flower and the
way of wearing tho flower was later
conceived.

f,wartt to ploy Wednesday of next week,
ibut on account oi the can s game they
will probably have to wait until a later
.date.
The objections to Husband were that
he was a professional player and wore
based on the fact that no played with
tho Yeomen team one season. The
Yeomen team was an amateur team and
Husband received no pay for his work.
Mr. True took up the proposition with
the state authorities and wns advised
that his chorees wero groundless. The
Cozad pitcher, against whom objections
were made, is trying out this year for
tho state league nnd will probably not
bo allowed to plav.
