FIRST SLAvONIC WREATH ENJOYS
 GREAT GROWTH
Annual Convention of National Body to be Held in This City Four Days in May and June
Big Parade to be Given on Me- morial Day - Delegates Will Come From 69 Cities in the United States

The local members of the First Sla- vonic Wreath of the Free Eagle are so jubilant over the progress made by the organization during the 15 years of its existence that the. ninth conven- tion which opens for four days on May 29 Sokol Hall, will take the form of a jubilee.
 The end of the 18th year finds the organization with 2,250 members and a surplus in the treasuries of the Ma tional Wreath and the subordinate leaves of nearly S150,000 The Bridge port members are proud of the organi- zation, because it had it's origin in this city. Its first charter provided for the establishment of the society in New England.
 Two years ago the organization had extended to cover the United States and today Slavonic Wreath of the Free Eagle is the strongest Slovenian organization, financially, in the Uni ted States and is making rapid strides toward becoming the largest. Over s100,0O0 of it's surplus is invested in East Bridgeport and many of the so- ciety's members are it's tenants. The rent goes into a fund from which some day may be paid their life in surance.
 The national society pays $700 to the widow or children of a deceased mem- Der while each local organization pays s100. In case of the death of the wife of a member the husband receives $200 The subordinate leaves pay $5 and $e week in case of sickness.
 In connection with fifteenth anniver- sary there will be a big parade, May 30. The convention committee voted yesterday, to give a banquet to the members on each of the four consecu- tive days the convention is in session The dishes will be Slovenian delica- cies and cooked by the women mem bers of the organization Delegates will come from 69 cities in the United States.
 The officers of the National organi- zation are as follows: President An drew Lengen, S48 Hallett street; vice. president John Prokop, Brooklyn, N. Y. recording secretary John Chanda, New York city; financial secretary, John Marcincin, S25 Ogden street: treasurer Stefan Buda, 655 Maple street; audi tors J. c.

 Father Hussion then pointed out to his auditors that history's function is to deal cooly and dispassionately with the most turbulent events of the worlds progress, to analyze the ele- ments of great disturbances that change the course of the nation. So history is not swayed by the heated passions it records. And history in describing the corruption or Irish op- pression must be credited.
 He passed briefly over the first de- cade following the act of union. Mer chants became bankrupt, the gentry was banished, domestic turbulence arose, violence and murder ran riot. the unholy accursed union annihi- lated commerce, left the Irish nation without a name before the world, the cotton and silk industries were des- troyed. flannel. blanket, worsted and other industries in all parts of Ireland were shattered-destroyed by the wholesale for the benefit of English These concluded the speaker, were the fruits of this un- holy union.

Old People Not Compelled to Move to

farm entirely and move to town, as

move to town are satisfied. Some of
them know that they won't be salts
fed before they move. but they feel
that they must get out of the way and

are mistaken. The farmer can build
another home for himself or for the
boy on some other part of the farm.
Then, while the boy is running the
farm, his parents can take 1t easy
