But your mother’s life has not been easy. Your father was a poor man, and from the day she married him she stood by his side fighting the wolf from the door with her naked hands, as a woman must fight. She worked not the eight or ten hour day of the union, but the twen- ty-four hour day of the poor wife and mother. She cooked and cleaned and scrub- bed and patched and nursed from dawn until bedtime, and in the night was up and down getting drinks for the thirsty lips, covering restless little sleepees, listening for croupy coughs. She had time to say the things that spurred your ambition on. She never forgot to cook the little dishes you liked. She did without the dress she needed that you might not be ashamed of your clothes before your fellows. emember this now while there is t time, while she is living, to pay toher in love and tenderness some of the debt you owe her. You can never pay it all, but pay some- pa Sow] on account this very night.— "Farm Loans We have no Dividend to declare nor a Suplus to create, we’ simply make Farm Loans, for a reasonable profit, and just a plain living.
