It will hold them true in spite of many perils. Mother’s Day will be generally and suitably | observed in Key West tomorrow with apprdpriate programs rendered in most of the churches in the city, and ministers will choose subjects bearing on the sacredness of Mother's Day. THE ADVICE OF THE MOTHERS One of the things most needed at the present time, is that the children and young people of this age should be a little more willing to take the ad- vice their mothers give them. Many of seem to think that their mothers are behind the times, and do not understand present conditions, and therefore they can not know what their chil- dren ought to do in the various circumstances that come up. them These young people will come out a great deal better if they take the advice of their mothers, which will be prompted not merely ‘by maternal affection and devotion, but by experience of the world and an intense interest in the future wel- fare of their children. FRIENDLY ADVERTISING Illustrating the present trend of good will ad vertising, a plan recently adopted by a railroad in the South is interesting. Recognizing the important function of the local station agent, through whom most patrons of the road have their only contact with the man- agement and its policies, the new advertising seeks to bring the agent in closer touch with’ his com- munity. This is done in a quarter page space in the ‘Jocal paper, with a picture of the agent and a little sketch of his service with the road, accompanied with reading matter explaining how he may be of THE KEY WEST CITIZEN All Hail!

The famous Rough | Rider president constantly preached that idea. urged people to find pleasure in hard work, in self denial, in service, rather than in surrounding | themselves with luxuries. He felt that people’s activities had become complex and they demand | so many amusements and experiences to keep them happy, that they load themselves down with heavy burdens. @ Our beloved “Teddy” would have the simple ranchman or farmer out on his fields, toil- said ing in the bright sunlight at useful work, cheered by the wholesome faces of wife and children, had more of the essentials of happiness and usefulne: than the jaded city dweller surrounded by luxur- ies and entertainment. Today we have a class of “intellectuals” who seem to despise what is simple. They regard the ordinary run of people as stupid clodhoppers. They are constantly deriding the people of small citie and towns, and they feel that such ones are stifled in a coarse materialism. They ‘further seem to think the true ideals and that only by the evil of the world can people attain higher cul- ture. sophistication it a knowledge of People have made no progress in this change Fortunately there are millions who still prefer simplicity, or as much as they can get in They these rapid times, to sophistication. believe | that satisfaction is found in honest work and healthy mulation, in family joys and wholesome pleasures, and Vigorous activity in the open air. e still producing better communities, while the sophisti j cated people are airing their superior criticism, but not usually doing much that is constructive.
