file PETITIONS
HUNDRED AND FIFTY NAMES TO
DOCUMENTS ASKING CITY
GOVERNMENT VOTE.

With the names of about $50
voters attached, two petitions, calling
for a vote on the plan of city govern
ment were to be filed late this after
noon with City Auditor William Rae.
The petitions, which were circulat-
ed by Bert Stacy and Charles Simp-
son, will probably be acted on by the
city commissioners at their regular
meeting next Monday night. 1t is
necessary that the petition be filed
thirty days before voted n 1t is to
be submitted to the electors at the
spring election, April is.
The law requires that the sigma
lures of at least s per cent of the
qualified voters of the city must be
affixed to the document. 1t is said
that $50 names would be about 10
per cent of the votes cast at the last
election.
Those behind the petition have ex-
planned that they desire the form of
city government changed from the
commission to the aldermanic plan.

HOWARD ELECTION
PURCHASE OF ELECTRIC LIGHT
PLANT CLAIMS CHIEF
INTEREST.

Howard, March 17.-Among other
important matters to be disposed of
at the annual city election TO be held
in Howard on Tuesday, April IS, will
be the proposition to purchase the 10
cal electric light system, which now
belongs to private parties. Some
weeks ago a board of appraisers was
appointed under authority of the city
council to attempt to fix the value
of the electric light system. The rep
r%esentative of the city on the board
fixed the price at a lower figure than
his two colleagues, who agreed upon
$4,000 as the sum which the city
should pay IL it purchased the plant.
The proposition now will go to the
voters, who will have the duty of
saying whether or not the system
shall be purchased for $4,000.
At the city election a mayor, two
aldermen and a city treasurer will be
elected. The question of whether or
not Howard shall grant licenses for
saloons also will come before the
voters at that time, a petition con-
tanning the signatures Of thirty-eight

REDBREAST APPEARS
RETURN OF ROBIN TO SUMMER

robin on the Normal campus last
Monday. Mrs. Metcalf saw n in

past, the first robins coming TO the
notice of residents of the city have
rarely put in an appearance before
March IS. The arrival at this time
of the oriole is taken by many to be
an indication of early genuine spring
weather.

ST. PATRICK A SCOT
HONOR PAID TODAY TO MEMORY
OF ONE WHO WAS SLAVE BE
FORE \ MISSIONARY.

Many of those in Madison who to-
day included in their raiment green
ribbons, green neckties, green flow
ers. shamrocks or other emblems of
the Emerald isle. may have done so
under the impression that they were
honoring an Irish saint. History dis
proves that belief.
According TO the many authorities
the man whose death is celebrated on
March II was born in Scotland and
very probably of Scotch parentage.
His baptismal name was Sucat and
the name Saint Patrick was given
him only after he was consecrated a
Roman priest in France and went TO
Ireland as a missionary.
When the world honors this man,
they honor him as the man who
brought the religion of the church at
Rome to Ireland and converted that
country almost to the last man, and
not as an Irishman who saved his
own country.
Saint Patrick was born in the late
fourth and died in the early fifth
centuries. Then there was neither a
Catholic or a Protestant, for the
church had not split at that time. II
was the Church of Rome. After be
ing captured when a lad and sold in.
to slavery in Ireland, from which he
escaped and lived for several years in
Europe, the Irish patron saint, con
yicted with a sense of duty for con
verting the people Of Ireland, return.
ed to that country and spent the last
forty years of his life there.
However, st. Patrick lives more il
legend than in history. for an ac.
curate sketch of his history is not t6
be had. Among the more prominenf
legends is that of driving the snakes
out of Ireland. He is also related al
having had a miraculous power o.
self protection from enemies.
