Originally Emilius or Emilio, the
male of Emilia, was spelled with an
"a" before the 'e' which in part eX-

Emilio was always popular IN Italy,
but not until Coccaccio's writings be-
came widely known was Emilia gener-
ally adopted as a name for girls. Emilia.
however, was not the bright particular
muse of the Fourteenth century author.
That lady's name was Maria, daughter
of the King Of Naples. Emilia is the
heroine, of an earlier novel, Tesctde.
Tescide sprang into immediate pop
ularity at the courts of Europe and, as
a consequence, the ruling families and
the mobiles adopted the well sounding
name bodily.
The most popular Americana English
form is Emily, but many English girls
prefer to sign their name Amelia.
The Germans have adopted the last
Germans insist upon Amalia (every
letter sounded.)
In the slav countries "Milica" is
popular, but '.Milka" tLusatiam is the
preftfest of the dialect forms.
Beware Of confounding Emilia with
Emma, or worse still, with Amy.
There is no Saint Amalia, though
there is famous statue by De la Roche
SO labeled. 1T impersonates Louis Phil
@ippes queen, an Austrian princess. But
the calendar of saints has interesting
stories to tell of it. Emillana of Florence
was remarkable for her adopting the
fast of the tongue Unlike most wom-
en-, she never said an unnecessary
word, observed absolute silence three
days week and forty days during lent.
Emilia Bicchieri, known as st. Emilia
was noble Italian woman who attain
ed very great age. She was known for
her conversation with Christ.
In his knights Tale, Chaucer
records the contemporary spelling OF
Emily as follows:

1t is only thirty days until spring
operation will begin on the farm. And
If you need any additional work stock
you should buy at once.
There is q strong probability that
we will have an unusually good crop
year The great drouth last summer
and the extreme freezing of the last
month will crack open and air up the
soil to an unusual depth, which will
make it possible to prepare the very
finest seed bed for the spring grain crop,
while the heavy blanket Of snow all
over the west cannot help proving Of
great benefit to the winter wheat crop.
"A bumper crop is absolutely neces-
sary to put business back into its chan
mel of activity, and everybody should
prepare to make the best Of the coming
season.
This weeks sale will, in my opinion,
be the most favorable time you will
have to buy what you need The mar
kets are none too good this week, so
you will be able to buy them cheaper
than you win later.
During February everybody gets
busy picking UP, which stimulates
prices.
