Mothers Day May 12th
To the people of McCook
Sunday May 12th has been
set apart by the people of this
country as Mothers Day every
person to wear on that day a
flower in honor of his mother
and I have Jbeen requested to
ask for general compliance with
the suggestion
Therefore in pursuance of this
request and as mayor of the city
I hereby recommend that by gen
eral consent SundayMay 121912
be set apart as Mothers Day and
on that day every man woman
and boy in the city and every vis
iton within ciur gates wear a flow
er in honor of his mother
I suggest that the day be made
a special occasion for sending
flowers to the invalids in McCook
homes to the siek in hospitals
and to the orphans in public and
denominational institutions
It is eminently fitting that in
this as in other worthy move
ments MeCook take -the lead
