1 Of late years many new holidays
 have sprung into existence, such as
 Mothers day and many others. Each | has it's own significance and be- comes more and more important each year. Mother is remembered 1 on bc" day by gifts of flowers, etc.
 and she is made very happy by the 1 fact that her children remember her. But there is another to whom
 a day has been dedicated on June ! o0th and that is father. His day is not heralded as widely as others, perhaps because if is a newcomer 1 in the retinue of holidays or per- Ihaps because by many he is not considered important enough 10 have his own day. But he is import ant enough for recOgnizance, he should have his day and he should
 receive his gifts on June goth.
 True. mother has worked hard for her chil 'ren, she has borne many crosses for them but father has also toiled hard, day in and da" out that those little mouths might be fed. that his sons and daughters miGhc have an education
 and much better advantages than he has had, in order that their work might be easier for them.
 l He has taken jobs which have
 been very hard and he has worried too. {. ying to make both ends
 meet. He is a man, strong and able
 10 bear hca fer burdens but he is i human and has a heart which is prone to rejoice or ache, as the oc
 cason demands.
 There are good fathers and care
 made. only the good are in mind. lit is the same with everything; there are two classes, good and bad [ but the fact that some do not come mp 10 the standard should not
 poison the mind against all And
 so we should forget the bad ele- ment and bring 10 the fore the real
 good old daddies and there are so
 many of them.
 It is impossible to repay all our debts 10 father but we can do much
 10 make his declining years happy;
 to make him see that what he did is appreciated.
 ! Buy him some smokes, some clothing or any other gift which might suit his fancy or give him
 the money to make his own seIeC- : ton. There are numerous ways 10
 make him glad he is your father. Don't forget him now when he needs you most because he did not
 forget you when you needed him
 most--in your childhood and early youth. We have all been taught to
 give credit where credit is due so here is our chance to remember dad
 on his day, June 20.
 This is one of Americas silly sea sons--there are many of them when professional humorists self
 elected, find enjoyment in poking
 fun at college graduates. If the | opinions of these writers carried any weight. the public would soon be- come convinced that the man who
 has q college education is 8 bur-
 den on society when the truth is 1 that colleges have done their share, and more, 10 uplift humanity. i It is true that America and other
 countries have produced self ] taught men who have contributed generously to the progress of civili-
 zation. 7ut they are exceptions, and
 being exceptions. are glorified in pulpit and press. AS a general thing colleges have effected for the arts 1 and sciences than could easily be Ireckoned. In the field of invention, | Literature and drama that passes the test of time they stand out in
 bold relief. Nearly every day knowledge that is gained in chemis- i try classes is put to work for map
 and as result the task of living i is made easier. The most noted in
 terpreters of the law are college
 bred. The est ;killful phy~icians
