MOTHER'S IDEA OF WHAT DAUGH TER SHOULD BE VIEWPOINTS OF PLATTSMOUTH MOTHERS AS WRITTEN TO REV. A. V. HUNTER. who pass poor alike- and SON'S IDEAL OF A FATHER To be the Subject "of Rev. Hunter's Sermon Sunday Night Third of Interesting Series. The following expressions from the pens of various Plattsmouth i mothers, were read by Rev. Hunter j in his sermon last Sunday night, en titled "A Mother's Idea of What a Daughter Ought to Be," and were used as the basis for his sermon ad dressed to this theme. Tomorrow night, Itev. Hunter will speak on the subject of a "Son's Ideal of a Father." and will prelude his ser mon with expressions written by sons of the city, both within and without his own congregation. I "Our ideal daughter is as fair as a flower from Heaven and ,is wel comed into the home as is the sun shine. She is as pure as a lily and as religious as the morning glory, i lifting her heart each morning to heaven in thankfulness and praise. She is as generous and righteous as the apple blossoms, as friendly as the nodding hollyhocks and as mod-; est and gentle as the violet. She is as attractive and cheerful as a scar- i let poppy and as studious as a "jack-in-the-pulpit." She is as saucy as a her way the rich -good will and joy.' II "It has long been my idea and more so as I grow older and under stand the teaching of God that all daughters, whether mine or some other mother's, should be good, kind, moral, cheerful.' Christian girls who respect old people and have a cheer ful word for everyone. We must make our daughters fe3l that we are real chums to them. A daughter should have her mother's confidence and put God first in all her work and should take her mother's advice. She should not do anything she knows would cause her mother worry or tears and should not know any thing she could not tell her mother. A daughter should not profess reli- ion and then slip away to dances or go auto riding after tpwortn League service and not stay for the evening worship. She should have pleasure but should be very careful about the kind of company she chooses. She should feel the need of the Lord and not sit back and wait for her mother to tell her o go to praver meeting. She should let her face be seen in God's house of wor ship when health will permit. When a daughter's prayers grow selfish or narrow, let her read Psalm 67." Ill "My dream of an ideal daughter is that she be truthful in word and in action. To be deceitful. In my estimation, is a daughter's worst sin. She should have no secrets from her mother. All her troubles and all her joys should be brought to mother, for then her trouble will be easier and her Joy -increased. She should have perfect confidence in her moth er and a good mother will see that s never betrayed. To be serenely happy she should be a Christian, for i without Christ in her-heart, she can never know what real joys and hap piness are." IV "A daughter should love and obey mother's wishes in all things, and trust her with her secrets if she has any; and should ask her mother's advice before she does anything she is not sure of for her mother can help her solve the problems that she does not understand and . she will never advise her wrongly. She would also ask her mother to share her pleasures for mother loves to see her daughters enjoy themselves. When (she goes away from home, as her work often calls her away, a daugh ter should write to the mother often, as there is no letter a mother re ceives that gives her more pleasure than one from a daughter who is away from home."

A mother's op portunity is partly lost in getting her experience as we fail to take the counsel of others. The ways of the world make a great change in the ODinions of people as to disci- pline--the way they have been taught and the way they are being taught. Our open public places are a detriment to the community; we enjoy them occasionally but find nothing uplifting. Still we give them to our children as a tempta tion and try to teach them to decide for the right. The wrong is so nice ly carried out they very often prac tice it. To care for our daughters today Js a problem." VI "We would like our daughters to be Christians and live close to God, so they would not stray from the folu. They should maka" confidents of their mothers and keep no secrets from them for the best friend a daughter has is her mother. I have faith to believe that if they live closer to God they will be better in the future and will live closer to mother." VII "An Ideal is a mental conception of perfection. How I wish all moth ers could my this of their daugh ters: 'What I consider an ideal daughter is, first of all one who is devoted to her lord's work a Chris tian.' A girl that is kind and con-1 siderate to even the poorest of our human race and who would humble herself to aid and assist any who might be in neel of help. I would want my daughter to be proud ennf to maintain good taste, manners and appearance; to be obedient to her mother and loving and considerate and appreciative of her home and parents." VIII "To decide what a daughter should be one finds that so much depends upon the mother that it is almost impossible to define the one without including the other. So be it. Every daughter is born with a God-given conscience and upon the development of this depends what the daughter will be. In childhood the child is taught in some way, presumably by the parents, right and wrong and in doing wrong, grieves the parent until an estrangement arises or rath er feelings are out or harmony and the child's conscience becomes griev ed. At this point character Is eith er made or broken and upon this ad justment depends to whom confi dence, trust, love and companionship shall be given parent or selfish in terests such as following the line of least resistance, preferring compan ions to parents, etc. "But ten to one the daughter Who is held to the right kind of mother in trust, confidence and love while conscience is developing will put her trust in God and keep her consci ence In harmony with Ills spirit when she must stand In the world alone and all else will follow in righteousness. She will, while young, remember her mother's teachings, warnings and prayers, although she may be openly disobedient. In ma turity she is sure mother, knew best and will follow her precepts while seemingly doing as she pleases. And when vocation or marriage severs the home ties, she is so stable in her principles and ideals of young wom anhood that she will lead rather than follow." IX "So my ideal daughter gives her heart and life to the Lord. Then she is obedient, truthful, loyal, de voted and unselfish, giving to her mother her fullest confidence, rea lizing that her mother is and always will be her best frien'd." BOTH SIDES IN GOAL STRIKE GET WARNING GOVERNMENT SERVES NOTICE PROSECUTION TO FOLLOW THWARTING OUTPUT 14 PER CENT WAGE INCREASE And Mines of Operators Not Adopt ing the Scale will be Seized Situation Still Serious Washington, Nov. 28. The gov ernment served blunt notice on soft coal miners and, operators tonight that inteference with coal produc tion would not be tolerated. Warning that legal prosecution would be employed to thwart con spiracies Dy either siue anu troops sent wherever necessary to protect miners willing to work came from the department of justice after mem bers of the cabinet had considered every phase of the fuel situation, ad mitted critical, in view of the breaking off of negotiations. It is not the intention of the gov ernment to let the mines remain idle with half of the country in the grip of the cold weather and the coal piles rapidly diminishing. The administration, it was thought by those in posit ion. to know, had fully expected the miners to reject the 14 per cent wage Increase of fered by Fuel Administrator Gar field. Anticipating this, plans had been considered for augmenting the present output of bituminous mines officially figured at better than 40 per cent of normal. i A statement by Assistant Attorney General Ames., issued late in the day, gave assurance to all miners that they would be afforded ample pro tection if they returned to work, even if troops had to be called out. In discussing department of Justice plana. Assistant Attorney General Ames said: "All United States attorneys in the bituminous coal fields have been of ficially advised of the result of the negotiations in Washington and have been given Instructions relative to the situation. "It is. of course, obvious that the time has come when ample protec tion will be furnished all persons de siring to work in mines. All persons, whether miners or operators, making any agreement or arrangement with each other to restrict the supply of coal, will be proceeded against as the law provides, and it should be under stood that any person who aid? o abets in restricting the supply of coal Is likewise guilty by the terms of the Lever act. "Instructions heretofore Issued by the war department are still in force, and under these instructions depart ment commanders will act in proper cases when requested to do so by state authorities." To Force Resumption. This was 'the only definite state ment of policy from the government. In official circles it was said the federal authorities were determined to force resumption of operations on the terms laid down by the fuel administrator. go back to deal old Broadway, as one gets such delightful air and the wal"ks I have taken out in the open and In the country have done me so much good." Business has been tremendously good for the "Kiss Me Again',' com pany everywhere they have been and Mr. Bowers himself is not any too happy about going to New York for a run, as he has gone on record time and time again that he would rath er show anywhere than New York City. After all actors and show people in general are beginning to realize that there are other spots on the map besides New York City. THE CHRISTMAS SHOP.

' The seat sale opened last night at Weyrch & Hadraba's for Frederick V. Bowers' "Kiss Me Again" show, which will be seen at the Parmele on Wednesday evening. December 3rd. Mr. Bowers has a vehicle this season that gives him plenty of opportuni ties to make you laugh and he does not overlook any of them according to press criticisms received from the other cities where he has played. "Kiss Me Again" is claimed to be the fastest musical comedy In the point of speed that is entour today. The show Is crammed full of laughs and surprises as, well as fascinating music and It has an accompaniment of beautiful girls that do not general ly leave Broadway with road produc tions, but as Mr. Bowers is only making a supplementary tour before going into New York for a run. they were urged to take a trip for a few weeks and strange to say the girls Washington. Nov. 26. Th itin erary of General Pershing's J jspec- tion tour of cantonments and posts. issued here Wednesday, shows the trip will cover completely the man ufacturing and training machinery erected during the months of war in support of the American expedition ary forces. More than one hundred camps, aviation fields and ammuni tion plants will be visited in order that General Pershing may be able to recommend to Secretary Baker a comprehensive plan for maintaining adequate facilities to back up mili tary establishments.

In spections in the eastern and north eastern departments has been post poned until -the return from the coast. No Bearing on Mexican Situation. It was emphasized that conditions in Mexico had no influence onf the framing of the schedule. General Pershing, it was thought here, had purposely delayed visiting border posts in order that an erroneous in terpretation might not be placed up on his trips there. Washington. Nov. 28. There has been a revival of deep anxiety con cerning the condition of PresidentH .Vilson, giving rise to renewed discus sion of the difficulties of adminis tering the government for a pro longed and indefinite period without an active executive. Reports are persistent that the president is par tially paralyzed, and that this condi tion accounts for the established fact that he has not walked since he was allowed to leave his bed a fortnight ago and that he is signing papers with his left hand. When Admiral Grayson, the presi lent's personal physician, was asked concerning the report that the presi dent is paralyzed he replied: "I can not say anything about that. I must idhere to my policy of neither af firmation nor denying reports in irculation concerning the president's illness." What do you consider his general condition?" the physician was asked. "He is improving slowly but steadily improving." said Doctor Grayson. "He is attending to such business as is urgent, but I am per mitting him to do no more than is absolutely imperative. I know that hat disappoints a good many people who are pressing for executive action on various matters, but I cannot help it. 1 must take this stand for J want .the president to get well." Doctor Grayson was asked concern ing the report that the president is signing papers with his left hand. LADY ASTOR ELECTED TO BRITISH COMMONS Has a Majority of 1,064 Over Both Opposing Candidates Former ly a Virginia Worian. Plymouth, Nov. 2S. Lady Astor, American-born wife of Viscount As tor, was elected to parliament from the Sutton division of Plymouth in the balloting' of November 15. The result was announced after a count of the ballots here this afternoon. The vote stood: Lady Astor, unionist, 14.495. W. T. Gay, labor, 9,292. Isaac Foot, liberal. 4.139. The ceremony attending the count ing of the ballots began in the his toric Plymouth Guild hall at 9: CO o'clock. Lady Astor's philanthropic endeav ors here during the last ten years brought her considerable support, as well as her espousal of anti-liquor legislation, which won her a large vote among the women. She drove about the constituency on a speech making tour this afternoon and even rng. The campaign attracted wide at tention, due in large measure to Lady Astor's nationality, her uncon ventional electioneering methods and her barbed and. witty replies to ques tioners. Mrs. Lloyd George and other prominent political person ages spoke in her behalf.

Whether ill or well he has used his left hand for writing whenever it was necessary to relieve a cramped 'eeling in his right hand." Read the Journal. FORDS SOLD ON PAYMENT PLAN.
