Father’s Day

By H. W. Smith

We find ourselves on the very early approach of Father’s Day. We may pause and let our minds dwell on the important idea that we are doing a great honor to the interesting future thinking of the head of the family, one who is at all times using efforts to provide and make plans for the care of the ones that are committed to his care. When all the family are having a peaceful sleep nights, it is the father who is in deep study trying to think of a way for the good of the family. We should show our very best respect and very cheerful bestow upon him many beautiful flowers as his life is battling the waves that confront him in life. This writer’s father walked with a regiment of soldiers from Leavenworth, Kansas, to old Mexico and returned and was honorably discharged.
