well filled but now—
Well, father comes through the
gate, but there is no waving arm. He
just shakes his head and walks
across the lot and tinkers with the
fence a while before going into the
house.
In how many homes, after the
morning chores are done, does father
go to ithe post office, work his way up
the steps, open the door, look along
the rows until he comes to a certain
box, and turn away empty handed?
But wait, wait—it ‘might be wedged
in at the back! He takes a second
look, to be sure. But there's nothing
there!
And the son and daughter, what
does it mean to them—the weekly
letter to father and mother?
Can a man sit down and write
home, beginning, “Dear little moth-
er,” and ending, “Your loving son,”
and not be a betterman for it? Must he

VAL mothers do that. Can a man go very
far wrong with. this picture before

The weekly letter back home means
"thrilling joy to father and mother,
‘but the one who writes, too, has his
reward.

ed with a free toss from the fifteen

a field goal from the centre of the
; floor. .
The Windber team outweighed the
Meyersdale team but the lgeal boys
made up for this by guarding close
land with determination. McKendrick
and Sipple played best for the Wini-
ber high school, while the honors
may be said to be equally divided a-
mong the members of the local team.
