Mothers' day this year falls on Sun-
day, May 12, which is the second Sun-
day in May. This is the occasion
when each person wears a flower in
memory of his mother. When this
custom was first established by Mrs.
Jarvis in 1908, the founder wore a white
carnation as it was her mother's favorite
flower. The demand for the white
blossoms on this day has became greater
than the supply, so that now a white
flower is worn only for a deceased
mother, and for a living mother the
colored flower* are worn, .
DUN DIEHTFDRCLERK
OF DISH COURT
In the proper column of this week's
issue of the Gazette will be found the
announcement of the candidacy of Dan
Diehl for the office of district court cler
subject to the approval of the democrat
primary Aug. 6. ~
Dan Diehl came to Kiowa county lh
February after the opening and settleb
on a farm. He believes in every prog-
ressive mode of farming, and iiassame
in operation on his farm, ten miles
south of Gotebo.
He has been a member of the State
Board of Agriculture since statehood
At the bresentjtime he is vice president
of the board and yet he has been trying
to recall the members, so as to free the
organization from political connections
which handicap its work, During his
five years of service ou this boaru Dau
Diehl has faught every expenditure of
money that scented of graft.
He stood for economy straight out,
and became unpopular with some of
the politician members of the board be
cause he fought their methods. His
stand for the rights of the taxpayers and
for econemy in the management of the
board's affairs has made him well j
known all over the state.
Mr. Diehl came to Oklakoma from j
Illinois and from a county and district J
where it was almost a crime to be a '
democrat. However, he remained one .
during his boyhood days and always
manifested a keen interest in the partys
welfare and success. lit Oklahoma he
has ever been Ihe v*nje active *Dd loyal
democrat, always fightiui; the party's
battles in the open aud never aligning .
himselt with auy clique or ring of poli-1
ticians.
He believes ihat the offices shoulb be j
distributed mound aud advances the
argument :liat his township,. Cooper, j
has never otfure this >ear even had a
audidate tor office. It nominated and
ejected he promises fne same economy
in the transaction of the Lusiue^s of the
office as characttrUcd his work with
the stale board of agriculture. He also
states that he will devote his entire time
to the duties of the office.
Dan Diehl has lived at his preheat lo
cation, ten mtle* «outh of Gotebo, for
I five years asp he asks the voters to

Many of the young ladies who have
called on the Gazette since our Contest
was first announced, have given assur-
ance of their intentions to make the
race from this time until the close of the
contest. The prizes are worth the effort
necessary to win them.
Votes are easy to get. During the i
The Gotebo Band made its initial ap-
pearence on the streets of Gotebo last
Saturday night. The music was all
that any one would like to hear and the
boys played excelent music. Practically
no bobbles were made, and the music
was listened to by the entire citizenship
of Gotebo.
The boys played on main street and
electric lights were furnished gratis.
The band stand which has been stand
ing in the Park has rotted, consequent
ly the boys were handicaped for a con-
venient place to play, but we under-
stand that another stand will soon re-
place the old one.
