Six Go-Hawks Tell Why They Love Their Mother COW glad everyone who has a mother should he today! Hong, long ago, when someone asked Napoleon what was the greatest need of France, he replied, “Mothers." What he believed of France is true of every othed country. Today is Mothers' day and we love it be cause it gives us still another chance to show in some way that we agree with Napoleon. No one is needed more than mother. Several weeks ago Happy asked six Go Hawks, three braves and three squaws, each to write in a few words, "Why 1 love my mother.” Ko few of us ever stop to think why we love our mother any more than we love the sunshine. Philip's reply was the first to come—"I love my mother because she is my best friend. No matter what 1 do, she is always ready to forgive me and forget and then help me to do belter." "Everybody has the best mother in the world.” writes Abigail Ann. ••and so I think mine is tiest, and that's why I love her." "When T am in the wrong, mother always tells me in such a friendly -.. ,t mgii.ii mi. want to do right,” is the compliment 12-year-old T love my mother because she never forpets she was a nine pm once and she understands how I feel. She doesn’t seem grown up," was the reply Dorothy sent. "There’s something Inside of me that never lets me stop loving my mother," writes Polly. "She’s Just mother, and 1 can t help lovlnp hem "Mv mother never tells me a lie and always plays fair with me. That's why I love her,” is the line tribute Paul pays to b;s mother. Hum many of you Oo Hawks and those not yet members have ever stopped to think why you love your mother? ThD • Is a good day to think about it and also the 1< - 1J, /Ia/IaAv^I of day to show her in some way you are thinkin j ^ | d loving hi r. • ^ UNCLE PETER HEATHEN SYNOPM \ I ncle Peter rnmw to li\e at the home of the Trevrllyn twin*.

Slip studied him in “Hence for a few minutes thinking intently. It *e,m> to ms that wanting other fidk“' buttermilk i* the only bad thing about your morals. If we work hard we ran euro that. ••We can try hard, anyway, and that's half ov« r Kvn yoiu has some temptation to overcome.'' "I ran sort of understand aooui the buttermilk " she said consol ingly, "for when 1 pass the pop corn stand on the corner, that man looks right tit me all The time until 1 foil so popcorny that I can hard ly pass him. Do you know. It seems to me 1 can hear It popping right now. ' and she perched her head on one side, smiling as thought lis t< ning to a welcome sound. Well, do tell! I certainly never did hear anything like that. If you can hear it popping this far away it must t,e railing us. Most likely it is laying, 'Uncle Peter, bring Itaehel and get popcorn for all the missionaries. " He seemed to under stand that even missionaries would relish popcorn. They stole out of the side gate, intending to return and surprise the others. It.i In 1 felt so proud to be walk ing alone with Uncle Peter that she found herself almost forgetting his morals. At all events, she was con vim ed that popcorn would distract his mind from buttermilk. She felt, however, impelled to pursue the sublet t of his "morals" a little further I 'iii'lf* Peter. 1 heard mother say ti* father last night that It was a wicked shame for any young man to spend Ills lime in riotous living. You do not do that, tlo you?” "Of course, i do live more riot ously than I used to on the farm. I Another Way to He a Good Go?-Han'k A Go-Hawk Is good to his mother on every day of the year, but on Mother's day ho tries to do or plan something especially In honor of his best and dearest chum. A little gift, som flowers or a pretty card will show how grateful and happy ho Is for mother and her love. No thoughtless or unkind act must darken her day. Bo, remember this way to be a good Go Hawk. can’t help it, hut then five mis sionaries to take care of me is a big safeguard." She filt instinctively the tender ness of his words. She had no con ception <f what "riotous living" meant, but it was a great relief to her to know that he was not guilty. "I don't believe you have any mor als, Uncle Peter, for it seems to me you are almost perfect. If you will only stay this way you will make my life work fur you i.isy." phe concluded by way of -nrourage ment. Then 111* y r* ached the pop corn stand. "We will take -lx bags." ordered the heathen extravagantly. "Six!" gasped the child. "Yes. each one of tin* mission* aries must have one. You know \.• ii -i If what anxious work it is to look after a heathen, and you ought to be fortified with popcorn at least. Then, ns long as 1 gave away one of Aunt Sallie s ri>s* *, she sure ly ought to have some pop ■ rn. Bo, there you are, six hags! We can't i do with a bag less,” It was fortunate that Unde Peter had been having regular exercises with Prudence. So eager was Ra chel to return with tin treat that he was obliged fairly to caper down the street. "You had twtter run ahead with the corn.” he finally di rected In self defense. "It might get cold." She trilled shrilly as she ran Into the yard anil the missionaries looked In amazement. "For the pityfied sakes!” *xclalmed Jane. Where has Rachel been?” “Uncle Peter sent me on ahead to give you each a bag of popcorn before It gets cold,*' she announced breathlessly ;>* she tossed a sack to each child, "lie is bringing one for Aunt Bailie.” How the tongues flew as they munched their corn. “Did you get his morals fixed?” asked Ruth. “I hope they won't spoil his having a good time." * Yes, I found out that he hasn't any morals except that he is covet ing his neighbor’s buttermilk, and I promised him if he would stop that you would amuse him with some of your mother’s. He doesn’t seem to care a bit about the rest of his neighbor’s things. It is just that cow' that has tempted him. I don’t think it’s much of a cow myself.” * What else is the matter with him?” asked Prudence, a bit nerv ously. Since It was the reputation of her uncle at stake she wanted to know the worst at once. “lie doesn’t lie nor steal. He re members of the Sabhath day to keep it holy, and he does not spent his time in riotous living.

PETER Iii Field and Forest Have you ever stopped to think how often birds are punished for things they really do not do? Many of the stories we read of the harm done by birds are r eally gu* ss work. Ter haps a man has seen a bird go ing over his fruit trees, so he de * ides at once that the bird is de stroying his fruit and shoots him. Then he w ill write about this in cident to some paper, telling about Oils particular bird that he thought was destroying his fruit buds. At once begins a war on this special bird. The truth US the bird was merely picking off the insects that would have spoiled the fruit. Robins and cedar birds are shot for stealing part of our cherrlres. blackbirds for taking some grains, orioles because they like a few green pens. Kingbirds have been shot be cause they have the name of eat ing bees. It has been proved they cat only the drones, which make no honey and have no sting. The one groat think for Go Hawks to remember always and al ways is that birds do more good than harm. They are our friends and destroy daily epuntbss harmful in sects and seeds for us. Offl ers of the Tidied States government by the closest study have proved o\*r and over that this Is true.
