but also has special significance in illustrating and teaching
principles which make for the highest citizenship and the best
motives of humanity
Various other nations have their holidays of like nature
and also those which keep in mind memories of great
battles that were fought.
American holidays teach valuable lesson and a
the purpose of calling to mind terrific combat.
For instance, the observance of Lncons birthday not only
honors the memory of the wonderful but furnishes O
for recalling his splendid characteristics for emphas
ing the nobility of his mentality his methods and his Ideas and
thus the nation pays its tribute to qualities Of character which
make for mankind's welfare
The is true of the observance of Washngtons birth

The Fourth of July reminds every American that mankind
must uphold the glorious principles of @ liberty and the right
to enjoy the pursuit of happiness that must

speech must be saeguarded to all the people; that must
not be hampered by unjust laws unjust conditions of govern

agree with me, that we live In as
beautiful and good county as there
is in the great state Of Minnesota.
You tell us old fellows some times,
that we are too slow to catch up with
the modern condition of life and do
not even keep speed with the latest
time table on the modern education
and its branches. .
Maybe we are a little slow. All of
us have come to this county and state
to better our conditions for ourselves
and families, wherever we came. The
land was new and the language was
new to some of us.
When you leave the home of your
mother, to get away and see this
great world, you will most likely
make promise to write her at the
earliest date. Do not forget this.
Write often. Can you ever think of
all she has done for you? How she
loves you, how she with tears, in her
eyes, waits and waits to hear from
you, her dear son or daughter? Again
say, write to your mother and do not
forget the language of your mother.

I assure you, fellow citizens, that

kind people of this city for the good
will and hospitality they have shown

I am not able to speak of the very
early pioneers of this county, not
having been a resident here at that
time.
I arrived at Castle Garden, New
York, 1868, on the 9Th of July. On
the 18th of the same month I landed
in Boone county, Iowa.
The grasshoppers had consumed
nearly all the crops on the Des Moines
river valley for two years. People
from northern Europe, mostly
Swedes, had made their home in the
valley, some for fifteen years. There
was no new style in dress or living
and no one had heard of the speed
limit. From what I learn the grass
hopper ravages there compared with
the destruction of the crops in this
county nj 1875 and 1876, 1873. When
came to the county, marks could be
seen on the small cottonwood trees
from the work of the grasshopper.

people, born and raised within the
