MOTHER’S DAY 1 Mother’s Day, which falls on May ! 11th this year, had its origin in a , thought by a Philadelphia young wo 1 nia?i, Miss Anna Jarvis at whose sug r gestion it was first observed in a number of cities in the United Stat es in 1910. The beautiful idea spread rapidly until it was commended in 1913 by a joint resolution of congress whereby that body and the executive departments of the government rec ognized the day. In 1914 more formal recognition was given by congress, when the President was authorized to designate by annual proclamation the second Sunday in May as Moth er’s Day. The object of the day is to recall memories of mothers who have passed to the beyond and to pay spe cial tributes of affection to the liv ing. Few of us reflect as often as we should upon the debt of love and gratitude we owe our mothers. NOON BI S SERVICE MAY BE REINSTATED Immediately following the an nouncement by the Northwestern Railway Company that bus mail ser vice between Norfolk and O’Neill would be discontinued on May 4th, C. P. Hancock of this city wired Congressman Simmons this informa tion and asked him to use his influ ence to have the bus mail schedule reinstated. Congressman Simmons took the matter up with the company who are now investigating the value of the service that O’Neill wrould re ceive from the schedule; the company discontinued the service for the reas on that No. 11 would go west in the afternoon and would bring the mail that had been coming to O’Neill on the bus that arrived here at 5:30; this train, however, does not give us an opportunity to send mail east , after 10:30 A. M. until about 3:00 the following morning. If the bus . mail schedule could be reinstated from O’Neill to Norfolk at 1 o’clock i as formerly, business men and bank ers wo^ild have time to clean up their morning mail and start it on its way without the sixteen hour delay which is now the case. An effort should be made by the citizens to have this service reinstat ed. I NEW CITY COUNCIL MET MONDAY NIGH The City Council met and reorgai ized Monday night.

Mr. Puckett has paid his entrance fee and claims to be the champion heifer breaker in Holt County. He says that he has “broken” 19 heifers to milk since the first of Jan uary; most of them submitted to the ordeal during the month of April. No ropes or “cuss words’’ are used in training these heifers to stand quietly; friendliness and kind treat ment turned the trick for him. In speaking of the matter Mr. | Puckett said, “since this seems to be an age of champion base hall play ■ ers, prize-fighters, golf, billiard, ten j nis, ar.d what-not, as well as cham | pion spellers, beauty contests and a I host of similar events in which I can not compete, I want to start a con test of my own of a different class, so I hereby claim to be the champion j breaker of heifers to milk, by one man, in one season, in Holt County.” Mr. Puckett says that h£ has a number of other heifers yet to break | if his competitors crowd him for the ! title; along with the breaking of these cows to milk he has taught their calves to drink milk from a pail ; without letting them miss a feed as is sometimes done. The milking of that many heifers along with a bunch of old cowts is a very steady pastime as well as a very effective way of chasing the proverbial wolf from the door. you can t do that!
