What He Thought Fond RecolleC

THE summers come an gone again
Jest like a picture show;
We thought along the July days
Perhaps 'twould aver go.
Now here we be, right into fall
With frosty nights an cold;
The grass down in the medder's
brown,
The hillsides red an gold.
YOU cannot stop the seasons err
i They must forever roll;
But you kin keep your heart
aWarm,
An summe in your soul,
Jest keep the grasses green inside,
An don't give up your song,
An then 'twon't matter very much
If summers gone along.

that such men are put into office who
represent the farmers interests.
The article in the Tribune of Feb.
- stated that a full county slate
had been filled at this meeting, but
this is not so, because the county
offices number upwards of 80 and on
ly nine names voted on to fill
some Of these. 1t is also stated in
the article that the secretary of the
Regain meeting was instructed to not
ify the voting precincts of Burleigh
county. This is untrue.
The instructions given to the sec
rotary were to notify the secretaries
Of the different unions in the county
VINO were not represented at the
meeting OF what had been done.
Let it be known that the Farmers
Educational and Cooperative Union
OF America does not restrict the con-
stitutional rights OF any ma Wheth-
re a union man or not, but it stands
for the long trampled upon rights Of
the agricultural classes, and in de-
Tending these rights they must of
necessity try to put such men into
some Of the offices at least, who will
protect the interests of the farmer.
Why, then, is it not we'll for the mem
bers OF the union to, assemble in

Welsh TO OBSfRVE
ST, DAV|D'S DAY

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 2S.--Sons and
daughters Of Yales, of whom there
are large colonies in many states
CT the middle west. will devote tomor.
row to their annual celebration of st.
David's Day, in honor of their patron
saint. The day is celebrated usually
with feasting and exercises consist
ing OF speeches, essays and the sing
ing of Welsh songs. O.
Sir. David is said to Nave been the
son of a prince Of Cardingshire, of
the ancient regal line Of Cu1edda,
Wledig. The year of his BIRTH is sups
posed to have been about 4t2 A. d.
Seine biographers assert that he liv-
ed nearly $50 years, but later an
thority o say that he died when
81.
He received his early education at
Meneva, named Afterwards ely
Devil the house Of David or St.
David's, which was a seminary of
learning and nursery Of saints. At
This place. some years after he found
ed a convent in the, Vale of Rios.
The discipline which st. David en-
Joined in this monastic retreat is
represented as of the most rigorous
nature. After the syaod at Bevy
in, SO Dubricus Archbishop OF Caerl:
con. resigned his see to St. David,
who removed the archiepiscopal re-
sidence to Meneva, where he died
and was buried in the cathedral
nearby. ,+ @ EEi H
In the homes of every true Welsh
mar are to be found leeks or imi-
tation leeks On st. David's Day. The.
origin of the custom of displaying
the leek on St. David's Day has never
been cleared. The most acceptable
tradition is that a great battle was
fought carly in the eighth centur,y
between the Britons and 'SaxOns.
Their foes went i1to battle witheir
attire identical to the Of the Cam
brians in an ecort to confuse them.
Cadwallon, at the head of the Brit
ons. perceived the use in time and
sent his soldiers into a forest each
to bedeck himself with a leek so as
not ~ sbe deceived into assailing his
compatriots. This .precaution won
the victory and the consequent ven.

Communications

Mckenzie, n. d., Feb. 2S.--Editor
Tribune: In the February "a issue
Of the Bismarck Daily Tribune is
found ar article relating to a meet.
ing of the Farmers Union, held at
Regain, N. D., on Feb. IA, 1914.
The accusations Of conducting this
meeting against the constitution is
made, and with this fact in view, it
might be we'll to comment a little OH
the matter. The article infers that
it was a county meeting Of the or.
g%anization, but it was not. The fact
that Mr.. BleXrud acted as chairman
of the meeting had nothing to do
with it, at all, because the chairman
and secretary We're both elected from
the floor of the meeting.
1t is true that politics are excluded
from the. Union to some extent (see
Sec. II of Article 5 of the Constitu-
tom, but this has reference only to
national and state officers.
AS / understand it, politics and re-
ligion are excluded to the same eX-
tent and in the IN way, namely,
partisan politics and partisan reli-
gion.
The state organizer, Mr.. Evans was
also in attendance at the meeting at
Regain. He was asked to give what
information he had on the subject Of
political indulgence, and he did, and
the meeting was conducted accord
ingly. He plainly stated that parti-
san politics must be excluded from
the union, but part Of the work of
the work OF the union is to see to it
