CELEBRATED COMING OF MAY
Since the Days Of Ancient Rome lite
Advent Has Been Occasion for All
Sorts of Festivities.

In ancient Rome May day was a
signal for celebration of the goddess
Floralis, the deity pervading all the
fowery kingdom, which ever at this
time had a new inspiration in the
fight of pollen for fresh beauty in
color and form. In the legend of
Robin Hood, embalmed by Sir Wal
ter Scott and others, the characters,
Maid Marian, Little John, Tom the
Piper, Hobby Horse, the Lord and
Lady of May, danced around the
Maypole.
In Germany and other continent
tai European countries, flowers were
strewn in the streets as the cele-
brants danced, and in the dead of
night frolicsome youths would go to
the forests and select the most stall
wart saplings, fetch them to the CEN
ter of the town, strip them Of
branches and reclothe them with
wreaths and garlands, and in Eng
land similar ceremony gave rise to
homely songs for the children, such

as "Here Oats, Beans, Peas and Bar
ley Grow" suggestive of the new
birth of homely as well as ornamen-
tai things. And the deliver in these
mysteries may be interested to be
told that the sweet folk tale of Rob-
in Hood and Maid Marian had a
forerunner in pretty pastoral play
written by Adam de la Halle in the
thirteenth century entitled: "Le Jeu
de Robin ct de Marian"

the New York Stats zeitung in fight

iZatiOn is Synonymous with causing to
speak German" he said, "and speak
ing German means to remain German"
Wherever there were signs of dis
content, of movement which might
tend to disrupt this country, or any
other which Germany might find as a
commercial rival, the German-Ameri-
can alliance was sure to be on the
Job. 1t gave support to the Irish.
American societies, because these soci-
cites, before the war, were working for
the separation of Ireland from Eng
land, a matter in which Germany, at
that time, could have no legitimate
interest. But Germany, even then,
was preparing for war, and was doing
every possible thing to weaken its
coming enemies. A disOrganiZed
America, one filed with German re-
servists, would be in no position to
side with her enemies, Germany fig
ured. On this subject the much-quoted
Bernhardi wrote:
Measures must be taken at least
to the extent of providing that the
German element is not split up in the
world, but remains united in compact
blocks, and thus forms, even in for
eign countries, political centers Of
gravity in our favor. The isolated
groups of Germans abroad greatly BEN
eft our trade, since by preference they
obtain goods from Germany; but they
may also be useful to us politically, as
we discover in America. The German
Americans have formed political al
lance with the Irish; and, thus,
united, constitute a power in the state
with which the American government
must reckon"
With the outbreak Of the war In Eu-
rope the actions of the German-Amer-
lean alliance became holder. The CAM
paign for membership took on new
vigor.
Can we talk Of peace with Ger
many, that, even in times of peace, is
trying to dlsorganize our country, fo-
ment strife, and destroy our unity,
simply because strong, united nation
on the other side of the world Is not
German? Can we make peace with a
country that fills our land with paid
emissaries in an effort to make its
language supplant our Ownf Can we
talk of peace while government that
considers the world its prey doml-

CHEERFUL PHILOSOPHER.

A retired business man, who now
lives in a soldiers home, recently
sent to a friend in the dry goods
trade a letter that is refreshing be-
cause of-its homely philosophy in the
wise acceptance of fortunes reverses.
Reproduced in the New York Jour
nal of Commerce, it runs as follows:
"Since I saw you, have entered
On my seventy-seventh year. My ex-
perieace has taught me the folly of
worrying over events that l cannot
control. 1 have much reason for
gratitude, for 1 have been allowed to
live long. My lines are cast in pleas
ant places, and that is more than
many a millionaire can truly.say. I
have little sympathy for persons who
mourn their former prosperity, MAX
ing themselves miserable and their
hearers uncomfortable.
my five months captivity in a
Confederate prison showed me how
little, after all, person needs to be
perfectly happy and contented. One
good, square meal for the prisoners
would have converted the prison into
picnic grove"

Why We Fight
SerieS-No- z.

We are lighting Germany for the
right to live our own lives as we see
tit. We are fighting for our laws our
ideals, our homes, our institutions.
'fBut, how" one may ask, "were all
these things threatened by Germany
before the war started? 1t is easy to
see how they may be threatened now,
for if we are defeated we are lost, but
before the war started did Germany
menace those things we hold most sa-
cred?"
Let the Germans themselves answer.
After you have read the evidence out
of their own mouths, you may decide
whether or not Germany planned to mp
set our institutions, our ideals, our very
mode of life.
In 1901 the National German Ameri-
can alliance was formed in the United
States. In 1907 it was incorporated
by act of congress. It's charter Is
now being attacked in that same body.
One of the objects of the alliance, as
officially announced, was ito check ma
tiviStic encroachments." In other
words, to keep the Germans from be-
coming Americans. Another object
was ito awaken and strengthen the
sense of unity among the people OF
German origin in America"
'This alliance" its preliminary
statement of aims concludes, sis
pledged to bring its entire organiza-
fion to the support of any state fed
GRAFTON which is engaged in the strug-
gle for any Of these objects"
1t was pledged, in other words, to
Aave its members vote, not as individ-
malls, but as German controlled units,
for or against anthing of which
they did not approve.
The desire for resisting "nativistiC
encrOachments," was particularly alb
horrent to- American ideals, because
the effort in this country has always
been to keep politics free from racial
or religious influences. Yet here was
a body, proclaiming itself German in
origin and thought, seeking to perpetu-
ate this German feeling in the midst
OF America.
From its very start the alliance
sought to foment discord with England
1t always spoke Of the American press
as "the Anglo-American" press, and II
carried out a long and well-directed
campaign for the introduction of the
German language into the schools ant
its use in civil life.
'SThe National AlIiancen according
to an issue of its official Bulletin be
fore this nation entered the war, "is
waging war against Anglo-SaxOnism
against the fanatical enemies of per
SOnal liberty and political freedom, 4

BLEW Up the Family Wash.

Down in Galveston recently an in

SILACE FOR STOCK FARM.
State Agricultural College Points Out
the Value of SiIage as a Stock
Food.

The value of silage for the dairy
cows well understood but its value
for beef animals and sheep is not so
well known. In Iowa silage has been
found very valuabaS for beef cattle.
BY making silage the principal food
Of tho cows tha@ could be fed through
the winter about a. c1eaply as in the
summer. For dry COW a Tatton cf
80 pounds Stage, 4 to * pounds Of
clover or alfalfa hay and the run Of a
atraW stack and stall field not Only
carried thera through The winter but
kept them gaining consistently. when
the cows wcr s1lre calves Trey
were fed q little grain.
Silage not only reduced the fecd
cost for fattening steers but also
helped make larger gains end the 81
lage fed cattle attained q higher fin
ish in the same time and ordinarily
outsell the cattle fed a dry ration.
At the North Dakota Experiment
Station is costs DC cents less to make
a hundred pounds gain on steers fed
silage than on steers dry fed.
Silage was also found to be good
for sheep. Three or four pounds of
silage, half a pound of alfalfa or Glow
err hay and half a pound of oats per
day for a breeding W of $50 pounds
gave very good results. Silage is a
great milk producer and should u.s.
ually be limited just previous to and
following lambing time.
This silage was made from corn
that was nearly mature. This is an
important point. Much better silage
can be made from corn that is nearly
mature, than from corn that is I'M
mature. Nearly mature corn makes
a sweet silage while immature corn
makes a sour silage that has a lower
feeding value than the other. Anoth-
er point that the silage must not be
moldy.

REPORT YOUR INCOME.

South Dakota, Feb. 5, 1915
Every unmarried person whose
net income for the year 1917 was
500 or more and every mar
ried person living with wife or
husband whose net income for
that period was $4,000 or more
must have an income tax report
of that income in the hands of
the collector of internal revenue
or one of his deputies before the
close of business on March l.,
1913, or suffer the penalties pro-
vided by law.
Every employer must send to the
collector a list of the names and adj
dresses of all employees to whom he
paid $500 or more during the year
1917.
Everything possible has been and is
being done by the government to adj
vertise this law and help those who
must pay the tax.
Income tax blanks are being mailed
out from this office to individuals,
banks and field deputy collectors as
soon as I receive them. They are
being printed and sent to me as rap
idly as possible by the commissioner of
internal revenue.
A careful study of the reports from
my field deputies and from the banks
throughout this district show that
with the month of January gone and
only the balance of February left in
which to make a report, the number
Of people in North and South Dakota
who have made inquiries in regard to
this law is surprisingly small.
/ know conditions in these two
states and / feel sure that unless the
banks, newspapers, farmers and en-
ployers Of labor take hold of this
matter and urge all those that they
have reason to believe should make
a return to do so, thousands Of peo-
pie will suffer the penalties Of the
law, after March first.
Payment Of the tax at the time re-
turn is made will be greatly apprec-
lated by the government.

do everything in your power to see
to it that your neighbors and assoc
iates are fully advised in regard to
