FATHER IS TO HAVE
HIS DAY OBSERVED
(Or Unltd Prm to Um Bnd Bulletin)
HI'OKA.VK, June 16 "Do a good
deed on Father's Day " Ir the slogan
offered today by the founder of tho
movement, Mrs. John Uruce Dodd,
of Kpokuue.
The woman, who seven years ago
uttracted nation-wide attention by
sUKKcstliig the annual observance of
a duy set apart In memory of our
fathers, now urge the doing of one
kindly act on June 17 thla year. In
commemoration of Fathers' Day. In
thla connection, Mrs. Dodd Buggcuts
that each person choose for himself
the nature of the kindly deed, bear
ing In mind the thought that the deed
bo something which would meet with
a futhera' approval. Mrs. Dodd her
self finds In tho Red Cross work an
Inaplrution for her own good deed.
The third Sunday in June was se
lected as Father' Day when the
movement began In 1910. In Spo
kane, red Yobcs are worn on that oc
casion If tho father be living, and
whllo rosoa If he i dead.- Special
sormoiis are delivered In the church
es, ministers taking as favorite sub
ject the example ot the father In the
parable of the Prodigal son. . Last
year the day waa celebrated by the
chorus ot 1000 boy singing at the
Interstate Fair grounds. ; -
"This year, -with our country
plunged Into the horror ot war. It
seems most appropriate that we
should boar In mind the great deeds
of our fathers In former crises of the
nation and do some kindly act to
signalize this romembrance," Mrs.
Dodd said today. If In doubt as to
JiiBt what act would best typify your
reverence for your father. I suggest
that the Red CVobs work, so broad In
acope, would meet the hearty ap
proval of any father."

tho construction of tho athletic club
will be lot some time this week as
soon as speclflratlons are ready. All
details for the building proper have
boen completed, and construction
will go forward as rapidly as good
work will permit.
"In times like this It perhaps is
woll to call attention to tho faet
that tho building ot an athletic club
Is not n pleasure Jaunt nor a case of
social expediency, but a whole-hearted
effort at preparedness, following
out the general lines laid down by
the leading athletic clubs and uni
versities of todny. Tho reader no
doubt will call to mind, if he has
road tho leading magazines on pre
paredness, the fact that enormous
onorgy 1b bolng expended In prepar
ing mon physically to become re
cruits; that In Franco and England,
particularly, roorultB for the army
at tho presont time are given gym
nastic training before they are put
In training ob recruits. (
"With this In mind, It Is evldont
that the athletic club Is really doing
Its country a sorVlce by putting a
number of men In good physical con
dition; therefore, during tho dura
tion of this wnr, It will bo the aim
of thlB-club to give Intensified nth
lotlc Instruction, looking to putting
Its mombo'i'8 In the best physical
trim, In which case thoy will be bet
tor oqulppod for the service of their
country, both at home and, It neces
sary, on tho line of battle.
"When this athletic club Is fully
organised, thoy will have an organi
sation that can take hold and put
anything beneficial to the town

of an athletic or general nature, such
as putting on parades and caring for
conventions, which will materially
aid the contributing of business men
of this town in avoiding the con
tinual drain on their business tor
the different entertainments and do
ings which are without question ot
benefit to the town, but which carry
overhead expense for each Hem and,
with necessarily limited organization
with Its attendant contusion, causes
a dissipation of energy. No one
questions that an efficient organiza

matters Is an asset to any town, and
particularly to this town, where no
such organization Is .in existence.
"In reference to the school chil
dren, the athletic club has made
arrangements for every school child
to be given physical Instruction and
the gymnasium will be turned over
exclusively to the school children
