sible.
Probably Meet Early in June
When the location of the district
convention of the American Legion
for 1929 was allotted to Greenwood
at the convention held at Nebraska
City last year, all knew that a good
time would be in store for everyone
who might attend the meeting. The
definite date has not been set as yet
but will be, in a short time, and is
rxnected to be some time in June
the most pleasant month in the en
tire year.
Preparations are being made by
the Greenwood post for one of the
bpst meetings of all the good ones
that have been held in the First con
3rd booking of those red hot demons, Simon
Harold and His Melody Boys-Legion Dance.
Wednesday Night, May istSi

that date of this gathering and some
of the novel features the boys will
have in store for you and do not fall
to he Dresent. for you will surely
miss a lot if you aren't.
Picnic Committee Busy
Rex Peters, Phil Hall and George
Bucknell had a meeting in regard to
the Dicnic. The above named gen
tlemen comprise the concession com
mittu ami thT are out after a
mrrvrn.mnnd.
Look for developments in next
vAoVa injm of the Journal. Green
wood will have a bisr picnic this year
we are sure. Next issue we will be
able to give more information as to
dates and other details.
Prospects for Corn Show Good
Since Ray Frederlch and Rex Pet
r. tin hen busv with the farmers
putting out certain varieties of seed
corn and contracting between 2,000
and 3.000 acres, there has been con
siderable talk of staging a real corn
show in Greenwood this fall. We
have heard the buzzing of the above
fact from several boosters of Green
wood, who will undoubtedly make the
corn show come to pass, we are ior
it let's have a corn show.
AH Backing the Band
The city electrician has put the
hand stand in shape for band con
certs as soon as the weather settles
and Greenwood will offer to the pub
lic some real music one evening eacn
week throughout the summer.
The band leader, Mr. Dietz, or Lin
coln, has gotten the band up to
where we will have some mighty good
music this year.
This hand is kept up by the busi
ness men and a few other people of
our community. Practically all of the
business men of Greenwood are con
tributing to the support of this fine
movement, which means enjoyment
for everyone. What a fine thing can
be done by co-operation.
Shoes that Wear
A. W. Hudson has just added a
line of WEARUWELL shoes which
are guaranteed in every way as be
ing the very best. Drop in and see
them. No trouble to show and ex
plain them.
A. W. HUllbUJi. -
The Seed Corn Proposition
Rex Peters, of the Peters Grain
company, in company with Ray Fred
erlch, have made a proposition to the
farmers of this community in which
they furnish seed corn and contract
the corn raised, which must be grad
ed, at a premium of ten cents above
the prevailing market price, when
delivered. This will be sold for seed
and will give the farmers here an
opportunity to realize better prices
for what they grow, as well as make
Greenwood a leading seed corn cen
ter. It looks like a good proposition
all around.
Will Arrive Here Soon
Mr. and Mrs. O. F. Peters, who
have been spending the winter in the
west enjoying the soft winds from the
Pacific coast, write that they were
starting from California on May 6th
and would stop enroute for short
visits, and expected to arrive in
Greenwood about May 20th. They
have enjoyed their stay in the west
very much.
Win Over Murdock
On last Wednesday afternoon the
High school ball team of the Green
wood schools went to Murdock, where
they played with the team of that
hustling city and where an excellent
game was had. The results were that
the Greenwood team won over the
lads of Murdock by a score of 9 to
3. Ollie Sayles was over, taking
with him a load of the Greenwood
boys.
Had a Trip, Sure
Sophas Petersen and Walter Brack-
hage were over to Newman Grove a
week ago Sunday, where they went
to play ball, or rather Walter did.
and pitching for the team of that
town he easily won the game. The
boys put in four hours going over to
Newman Grove and as it rained it
required them seven hours to return.
On this last Sunday they tried it
again and as to their luck you will
have to ask them.
Entertain Order Nicely
Mesdames W. A. Armstrong, E. A.
Landon, Ella Marshall and H. R.
Wright, the latter of Ashland, enter
tained at the home of Mrs. Armstrong
on last Thursday, having as their
guests the Eastern Star Kensington.
A most enjoyable time was had and
a large amount of good work done.
which they had in hand. The social
hour was one of the very best.
Return the Compliment
A week ago the I. O. O. F. lodge
of Greenwood had three candidates
for the second degree and also two
from Louisville, which also were ex
plained the mysteries of this degree.
and a very enjoyable and worth
while time was had. In return, the
Louisville lodge asked that the Green
wood lodge with their three candi
dates for the third degree, come to
Louisville on this (Monday) even
ing and be the guests of the Louis-
villa lodee. which has been accept
ed and at Louisville this evening the
third degree will be given to the five
candidates three from tne ureen
wnnd lodsre and two from the Louis
ville lodge Following the conferring
nf the work, there will be a banquet
and a general good time provided by
the cement city uaa reiiows.
Gave First Concert
The Greenwood band gave its first
cprt on last Wednesday evening,
and which was enjoyed by a large
number of people. During the sum
mer there will be a concert given
each week, which should attract a
irr nnmber of people to Greenwood
on concert nights. Get behind this
nronosition all you who are lovers
of your home town and in this way
do all yon can to make ureenwooa
the very best place in the U. S. A.
in which to live.
Making a Beauty Spot
Raiiwav comnanies are often ac
cused of being soulless corporations
with no Idea but to grab the al
mighty dollar and sixteen and two
thirds cents all the time, but the as
sertion is indeed an error, for the
onmnanv and its officers are desir
ous of seeing that the employes are
treated squarely and have good nomes
and e-ood livings. The company Is
equally desirous that all patrons have
all the comforts and conveniences of
public travel and the carrying of the
products of the people to and from
the markets. Not sordid business
alone, but as a demonstration of the
love of the beautiful and the pleas
ure and enjoyment of the traveling
nubile. The Burlington Is to con
siderable expense at this time creat
ing a flower garden in front of the
passenger station at Greenwood,
which will be a real beauty spot and
will carry a remembrance of the
beautiful city of Greenwood to the
farthest corner of our fair land.
Louis Wright Doing Nicely
Louis Wright, who was so severe
ly injured when his mules ran away
with him with a disc and cut him
badlv as he got tangled up in the
discs, and who was taken to the hos-
nital at Lincoln has so far recov
ered that he was able to return to his
home on last Monday. He is getting
alone nicely and will it is hoped
soon be entirely well.

RECEIVES A FINE

' eral Omaha members of an auto party
here yesterday af ternon by Con
stable Tom Svoboda, Fred Clark, the

the parties bent on their way rejoicing.
Mother's Day
and Its Origin
in America
Miss Jessie Robertson Prepares Fine
History of This Beauti
ful Observance
Mother's Day probably has its ori
gin in England, for a good old custom
there many, many years ago was
celebrated as "Mothering Day" and
came in Mid-Lent. On that day visits
were made to the old home and the
mother was the recipient of gifts
from her children.
Before 1890 Miss Mary Towles
Sasseen of Kentucky suggested such
an observance to the teachers of her
state. She suggested April 20, the
anniversary of her mother's birth,
or the Sunday nearest that date. In
1902 Frank E. Herring. South Bend
Ind., began to agitate for a national
mother's day thru the Fraternal Or
der of the Eagles.
The Universailst Church of Our
Father in Baltimore has held an an
nual service for motherhood since
1892. On May 22, of that year the
death of Mrs. Emily C. Pullman, the
mother of the pastor, was announced,
and Robert K. Cummins, superinten
dent of the Sunday school, suggested
that the service be made a memorial
one for her. Later he proposed that
the service be held each year( not
in memory of Mrs. Pullman in par
ticular, but in tribute to mothers in
general. For many years the Sunday
nearest May 22 was observed, but
after Congress designated a different
date the local service was changed
to conform to it.
In 1907 a Miss Anna Jarvis of
Philadelphia invited a friend to spend
the second Sunday in May at her
home to commemorate the date of
her mother's death. It was then that
the daughter disclosed her desire to
dedicate a day to all mothers.
The following year. May 10, 190S,
Philadelphia celebrated Mother's
Day In church and home. The year
had been a busy one for Miss Jarvis
and when the great day arrived she
was to ill to carry out all of her
plans for its celebration.
Had she so desired Miss Jarvis
could have told of thousands of let
ters written to men prominent in
public life, clergymen, Influential
leaders in the business world, phil
anthropists, and others whose inter
est in the project she was desirious
of gaining. She could have related
her experiences when visiting re
form schools, asylums, and other in
stitutions, and could have told of her
personal pleas to senators, judges,
and professors and of immense sums
from own private income expended
in furthering her endeavors.
Even in that first year of its ex
istence Mother's Day was observed
in many cities, for Miss Jarvis had
bravely brought -a resolution before
the senate of the U. S. to make the
second Sunday in May a uational
holiday dedicated to the memory of
"the best mother in the world, your
mother." It was a difficult thing for
the quiet, home-loving little lady to
take this step, but she finally suc
ceeded in persuading Senator Burk
ett of Nebraska to propose the reso
lution on May 8, on the floor of the
senate.
When the senator voiced the pro
posed resolution his colleagues greet
ed him at first with Jeers and sar
castic derision. "Why not a Father's
Day?" shouted one. "I have a dear
old aunt" yelled another. "Let's
have Auntie's Day." And within a
few moments Senator Burkett's
voice was drowned in an ocean of
laughter; but the good old man from
Nebraska continued to speak until
his earnestness compelled more ser
ious attention. Then, altho the reso
lution was slated until a later date,
the purpose of the senator's words
had its effect: and next morning: the
newspapers the country over told of
the new movement, some even com
menting editorially upon Miss Jarvis'
laudable project. And on the follow
ing day Mother's Day was celebrated
not only in Philadelphia but in var
ious' cities and communities through
out the union. Miss Jarvis also ap-

"lie was not afraid of being
laughed at, as were some others,"
said Miss Jarvis," and he did . not
wait to see who else was going to
celebrate. Without solicitation he is
sued a Mother's day proclamation to
the Modern Woodmen which touched
the hearts of members in every part
of the country; and every year since
his first proclamation he has issued
a similar one. Now most of the fra
ternal societies of America are in
terested in Mother's Day."
During the World War the Secre
tary of War and the Secretary of
the Navy issued orders for the ob
servance of Mother's Day. And
200,000 letters were written.
At Nebraska state penitentiary the
day has been appropriately observed
since the inauguration of Mother's
day in 1908. It is under the direc
tion of Mrs. Allie M. Jackson of Lin
coln, state director of prison reform
of the W. C. T. U. Thousands of
Mother's Day postcards and bits of
scripture have been distributed at
this time. After the close of the
services each man is given a spray
of lilacs.
Special services are also held at
the Nebraska slate reformatory for
men.
Nebraska was the first state in
the union to pass legislation on the
display of the flag on Mother's Day.
This was the result of Mrs. Max A.
Hosteller of Shelton, a friend of Miss
Jarvis.
Since the war it has bene a custom
of Miss Jarvis'to observe Mother's
day by placing a wreath on the tomb
of the tinknown soldier. In 1923 she
was unable to go so Mrs. Hostetler
placed the wreath for her and also
purchased and placed a wreath of
pink rosebuds bearing a card upon
which she had written "From the
Mothers of Nebraska."
Last week the Commanding Officer
at Fort Crook issued a proclamation
that the soldiers there should observe
Mother's Day by attending some re
ligious service and by writing a let
ted to mother. , . ,. ,
Mother's Day is not a legal holiday
in any state as it is fixed on Sunday,
which is already a holiday.
Generally a red carnation is worn
in remembrance of a mother who is
living and a white carnation in mem
ory of a mother who has died.

ARREST OMAHA PARTIES
From Thursday's Dally ' 1
This noon more or less excitement
was occasioned in the vicinity of the
court house when an auto party of
some six persons, four men and two
ladies were stopped by Constable Tom
Svoboda after a chase down Washing
ton avenue. The Omaha car was
finally stopped near the court house
and the parties questioned by Mr.
Svoboda. It was stated by the con
stable that the parties had come down
the avenue at a high rate of speed.
The matter culminated in one of the
Omaha men and the constable get
ting into a dispute and three of the
four Omaha men were taken to jail
by the constable. It was claimed by
the parties in the car that two of
the men and the two girls had come
here to get married. The one man
and the ladies of the party secured
legal services and prepared to look
after the interests of their associates
