In an editorial the White Pine News
said:
Yesterday was st. Patrick's day. II
was observed through the length and
breadth of the land. St Patrick is
the Saint of Ireland, but he might be
called the Saint of America as we'll,
as there is no other Saint in the cal
endar whose day is SO generally OBJ
served in this country.
One of the maTyels of the develop
ment of this country is the influence
which the little green isle" has upon
the population of the United States.
Go where you will, north or south. east
or west, and you will see Irish names
and Irish faces. A great mass of the
American population can boast of a
dash, and sometimes more than
dash, of Irish blood and it is because
those whose ancestors came from the
"ould sod join with those who were
actually born there that st. Patrick's
day is always a joyous celebration.
Miss Shields returned from Ogden
