O. A. AMUH 8JU4QKF HiWDAY B DAT Of TSAE McHenry sons and daughters Joined sons and daughters all over the nation in giving1 their time and thought* to honoring' their mothers in observance of Mother's Day on Sunday, May 10. They said it with flowers, with candy and with gifts and swprises of various kinds, hot the underlying meaning of it all was the same, "Ail honor to Motherhood Am world over." Throughout this city the mothers wave honored at many special occasions arranged by lodges and churches on the second Sunday of May, nationally proclaimed as Motto's Day and lb etunche* of our city had special services to hooor mother on Sunday. The carnation, of coarse, was the eonveatioaal flower of the day, the red nprinfloa being worn in honor of living wi others and the white carnation being worn in tribute to the memory of the mothers no longer living. Sentiment ruled the world on Mother's Day and mother songs were broadcast from leading radio stations. One radio poll revealed that the two best-loved mother songs are, "Put Them All Together, They Spell Mother" and "That Wonderful Mother of Mine." . Had it not^been for the penning of A note by a Philadelphia woman twenty-four years ago, the second Sunday in May might never have been dedicated to "the best mother tint ever lived--your mother." , On this day the thoughts of Miss Anna Jarvis return to that occasion -when she hailed an invitation to a friend to spend the second 'Sunday of May in the Jarvis home to commemorate the death of Miss Jarvis' mother, Mrs. Granville E. Jarvis. From this meeting there evohred the next year, May 10, 1908, the celebration of Mother's Day in Philadelphia churches and homes. ' Like wildfire the universal appeal of Mother's Day spread. The fourth celebration was noted for its observance in forty-five stAtes, Porto Rico and Hawaii. The next year England and Ireland followed suit, with interest also awakened in Switzerland and Germany. <<r' In late years services dedicated to famous mothers vary the usual public celebrations in different parts of the country. Pilgrimages are made to the tomb of the unknown soldier at Arlington. In 1927 Mother's Day was commemorated at Lincoln City, Ind., to Nancy Hanks Lincoln, mother of Abraham Lincoln. . a.vf-. Mother's Day Banqnet The annual Mother's Day banquet and party given by Court Joyce Kilmer, No. 573, Catholic Daughters of America, was held at J us ten's hotel Monday evening with about seventy members and guests present. -This delightful affair is looked forward to by the members of the court and their mothers as an annual event which,, is rememUcred^by them for many months and the leVfc^ and fespect shown the mothers warm* their hearts with joy.

Vocal solos were rendered by Jack Purvey and Earl Conway and Miss Mary Goodfellow played a violin solo. A toast to the mothers was given by Mrs. A. E. Nye and the response was given by Mrs. -Jack Walsh. Mrs. _ Agnes Schaefer, vicegrand - Regent of the court, gave a ahort talk and Father Nix gave an impressive talk on Mother and- her sacrifices. ' Knew Joyce Kilater .. Father Weidecamp of Spring Grove was also present and gave a most in- ' teres ting talk about Joyce Kilmer, for whom the court was named. Father Weidecamp knew Joyce Kilmer personally and spoke of him as only a friend and acquaintance could. Joyce Kilmer was a poet, perhaps his best known poem being "Trees," the words ef which have also been set to music. The entire gathering enjoyed singing several songs, the words of which had been composed by Miss Dorothy box. Following the banquet the evening was spent in cards and bunco and prices in bridge were won by Miss Mary Goodfellow and Mrs. Jack Walsh; in five hundred prizes went to Misses Frances and Martha Baiter, and in bunco Mrs. George Frisby was the lucky winner. At the close of the evening the beautiful flowers which had adorned the tables were sent to several sick members unable to be present.

About twenty-five Scouts from McHenry motored to Byron Saturday where they attended the State Line Boy Scout J am bore* at Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick's Rock river farms. Although the day was co4d and rainy there were nearly 3,000 Boy Scouts and their leaders fr©»; northern Illinois, southern Wisconsin, and eastern Iowa, who passed in review before Governor Emmerson, Lord Hampton, D, S, O., chief commissioner of the British Boy Scouts association; Dr. James E. West, chief executive of the Boy Scouts of America and editor of, the Boys' Life; O. H. Benson, director of rural scouting in America, and several other officers and notables in the Boy Scout movement, The visiting nobleman, one of the principal guests at the jamboree, was an interested observer of the boys and displayed keen attention to the plans outlined by the local Scout directors. Lord Hampton came to Byron from Birmingham, Ala., where he had attended a Boy Scout rally. He was entertained for lunch at Frank O. Lowden's Sinnissippi farms, leaving to attend the jamboree Saturday afternoon. The Scouts began to assemble soon after noon and by 2:30 o'clock nearly all of the 3,000 Scouts had arrived and Ruth Hanna McCormick's huge alfalfa field in which the jamboree took place suddenly took on a riot of color, as scores of American and Scout flags blew in the stiff breeze and Scouts with their vari-colored neck-kerchiefs took possession of the field in the largest gathering of the kind ever held in northern Illinois. It was a wonderful sight and one long to be remembered -as the Boy Scouts of varying ranks, the Sea Scouts and the Cubs with their leaders led by more than a score of American flags marched to the music of the several drum and bugle corps in review before the governor of the state, Lord Hampton and other visitors. Governor Praises Organisation Steward Ralston, president of the Blackhawk area, introduced Congressman John T. Buckbee, who in turn introduced Governor Emmerson as the first speaker on the program. Praising the organization the Governor told the Scouts that a moral, social and civic uplift, almost fncreditable in its character, would be experienced in America if every boy were privileged to belong to the organization. He lauded the world wide movement and stated that "there is no other force in America today-- nor in the world--which hold* as much hope for the future as does the Scout movement." Welcoming the British official, who served as general chairman of the world-wide Spout jamboree in England in 1929, the Governor expressed great pleasure in extending a greeting that he said represents the friendly feeling on the part of the United States to the British empire. "I like the metto of the Boy Scouts, 'Be Prepared.' Those two words carry an unusual significance in this nation, where opportunity awaits every man 'and woman who is prepared," said Governor Emmerson. Lord Hampton extended the hand of friendship across the ocean from one English-speaking nation to another and said that the progress of Ameriean Scout work had been enormous. The third distinguished visitor and speaker was Dr. James E. West, who said that by .virtue of his position he was fully equipped to judge the youth of the land and declared, "In my judgment at no time have boys and girls been as Well behaved and so earnestly striving to do right as today." Particularly interwted In rural Scouting, Mr. Benson extended his personal congratulations for the fine spirit and excellent presentation at the jamboree. Other prominent anon who wore introduced were Lou DuPlain, first vice-president of the council; John Early, chairman of the activities committee; George Driesbach, area Scout executive; Oscar Kirkham, United States Scout director and many others.

Schoenholta and Fred Ferwerda of McHeary attended the banquet at the Nelson hotel at Rockford 'Saturday evening where there were 600 Scoutmasters, committeemen and council members present. Thomas E. Gill acted as toastmaster and due to the absence of Governor Emmerson at the banquet, the welcoming address was given by Representative Buckbee. "America" was sung, immediately followed by the English anthem "God Save the King"; Lord Hampton gave a long speech, wearing around his neck the Ted and white band with a small metal elephant which was given for distinguished service of the order. Following this a yell for Lord Hampton was led by Oscar Kirkham. The feet were stamped, the knees were slapped, the hands clapped, "Lord Hampton" was repeated three times and then the yell, "World Friendship, World Peace." w The first part of the • Poor Little Wild Flowers 0ft THE f lEMrorol aruft-m* 0 McHENEY COUNTRY CLOT 13m opening event* M the season have already taken place' at the eighteen-hole golf course of the McHenry Country club and the schedule is well under way for another Interesting year of golf.

LONG BOY SAYS THAT In his preambles on Sunday morning looking for that which is his Achilles' heel, Jie came in touch with the new grand stand at the baseball field. Now with all due respects to Walt, John and Tony, it does sure look nice--but he could not help but think of that famous biblical coat, (we think it was David's--but mayhaps be a little rusty on the matter) anyway it was a coat of many colors. The memben of the high school orchestra, with their directors. Miss Minnich and W.-JN. Sears, left McHenry at 6:80 o'clock Tuesday morning on their trip to Cleveland, where they expect to compete today (Thursday) for national honors in Class C of the national orchestra contest. Supt.

A., where they had the use of the swimming tank and the girls snd ladies staying at the Hayes hotel. They expected to leave Wednesday morning for Cleveland, where they will stay at the Bolton Square hotel or. Carnegie and E»*t 89th streets. They will, no doubt, have time to see Cleveland in addition* to two rehearsals which they will hold at 9 and 11 o'clock Thursday morning. According to information received thus far, the McHenry orchestra will play in the preliminaries Thursday afterneon, appearing fourth in the list of entries in Class C. They hope to remain in the contest and play again in the finals Thursday evening at 8:30 o'clock. The contest is being held at Severance Hall, Cleveland. They will start the homeward trip Friday morning. The news of the final results of the contest will be anxiously awaited by friends and parents in McHenry who are hoping for the success of this fine organization of young people. They will meet competition from various states ia the union which will doubtless be exceptionally keen snd, according to the opinion of many, if they succeed in staying in the contest for the finals they will be doing exceedingly well. If they should be successful in winning national honors--well, just what would McHenry do with the national champions, anyway t Suffice it to say that it would be a homecoming second to none ever witnessed in this city. Whatever the results may be, it is an assured fact that the young people will give their best and their all in putting over this, their greatest adventure, and that they will remain a group of which McHenry may be justly proud.
