Mothers ciay will be May 10. Or-
dinarily it Is a clay on which wo
praise our mothers and tc'l them
how much we leve them . It is a
fine eld' custom.
* * Hi
We have given Utile attention,
however, to the hundreds of mo-
thers who are in need, destitute
tor food and lor attention. In
view of the widespread suffering,
llru. Franklin D. Roosevelt of
New York has started a move-
ment to raise fund for proper
aid to destitute mothers. She
hopes (hat communities every-
where will take up the idea. She
writes:
"I ask your help to enlarge the
observance of Mothers day so
that people may think not only
of their own mothers but of oiht :•
mothers who are U->s fortunutc -
ly situated. It would also be a
fine thin# to aid the mothers who
are in need today in the name of
motliers who are . .gone. Those
who have gone, I am sure, would
like to have us give in their name
for the lid of the mothers w'<>>
are In need now. I think that all
of us who are mothers would be
plfaseu that what is done Is not
just for us personally, hut in hon-
or of all mothers. Just at thi.i
time more appeals than ever be-
fore are coming in, and the Md is
much needed."
Scmewhcrc in literature is o
touching little .story of motherhood.
As we remember it, the expecUuv
queen of u kingdom was surround-
ed by export physicians and all the
conveniences known to science. In
u tiny cottage the wife ol an an-
archist waited the interesting even'
without even the aid of a doctor.
Even anarchists love their wives, and
the heart of this one was bitter. A
few weeks after the two events,
the anarchists was plotting to kill
the klnp. But one day the beauti-
ful queen rood by the small coUtpp,
and seeing the anarchist's wife,
babe In arms, she waved a grop -
ing—cf one mother to another it
may be fable or fact, but It em-
phasizes our ijolnt that all mother"
should be though of on Mot lers'
Day and that Mrs. Roosevelt has
made a suggestion in which wc join
most heartily. Let's get back of
it in Pampa this year.

Aracn? some twenty sup,ties' ions
made after a full day of executive.-
discustions was one that ..iititiist
laws should not be applied to a na-
tural resource like oil or gas.
la connection with this recom-
mendation. th# committee points
cut that if present situation con-
tinued it would result in a monop-
oly by crushing competition.
"Thousands of independents can-
not live under the present curttnl-
ment of production and price,"
committee report said.
Not Possible
R.R. Poni) of Dallas, chairman cf
the Texas Central Proration com-
mittee and representing Gov-rncr
Sterling, explained that urnlcr the
present anti-trust laws in seme
.stutefe it might not be possible to
enact legislation to bt«r iron busi-
ness in the oil producing stated
foreign and domestic corporations
now iir,porting crude into this
country. That was an endorsement
ol I he plan to place an embargo on
importers suggested by Governor
Murray at the Fort Worth r ;-
ference February 28.
It was suggested that the states
continue the committee that con-
ferred today for the purpose of
maintaining a contact beUeen the
contervatlon bodies of the respec-
tive interested states.
The committee requested that
the f.tates seek an understanding
with major oil purchasing com-
panies toward limiting production
and importations to insure a loir
price.
Price Essential
Pointing out that price was ab-
solutely essential to proper conser-
vation, the committee found that
present proration plani hud failed
because they did not include pricc
and that 'a fair prlcc" is essential
to prevent abandonment of f-rne
300.000 wells in the United Stater.,
"resulting In a tremendous waste
that can never be recovered e>ec;>t
through these wells".
All states were asked to pattern
their conservation laws alter Texts
and Oklahoma. The major pro-
ducing states wore requester! ' >
create appointive conservation com-
missions "beyond vote getting con-
siderations".
