What the Farm Bureau
Stands For
(From the Richland County Farm
Bureau News)

Some folks think the Farm Bu-
reau ought to take sides politically.
1t is the position of the Farm Bureau
to keep strictly neutral when it
comes to politics, religion or any
thing else. The Farm Bureaus are
supported by the county, state and
federal government, the same as the
schools.
The Farm Bureau cannot take
sides on any of the propositions
which never have and never can be
settled. The Farm Bureau starts
right in the HOME-the problems
which are connected with the HOME
LIFE need solving first of all. The
Farm Bureau is a great big school
embracing everybody, big and little,
rich and poor, farmers, merchants
bankers, butchers, bakers, everybody
there are still a few things on
which we can unite. We are all in
terested in THE HOME THAT
OUGHT TO BE. The Farm Bureau
stands for that.-February Farm
Bureau News.

Valentines day and the customary
pranks that it involved in the England
of the seventeenth century.
On February ii, 1867, the following
entry is made in the diary:

Americas Noted Valentine.
Americas most noted valentine was
General Winfield Scott Hancock, born
February Ia, 1924. The witching in
fiuence of the saints festival hover
ing about him manifested itself In the
elimination of his In her
"reminiscences" written in old age.
Mrs. Hancock (who was Miss Almira
Russell) tells of her strange wedding
and proves that, after all, the Amerf-
a girl has determination to rise
above superstitions.
To start with, her wedding day was
n of the stormiest of the winter. 1t
hailed violently, Numbered and blew
a perfect gale. During the
which was held at her fathers home
in st. Louis, the lights went out three
times and repeated the performance
at the wedding reception. The guests
were filled with terror for the young
bride who was beginning life under
such suggestiyely evil omens. And by
way of enhancing the evil influences
that appeared to be abroad the crowd
outside the house got the word that
the bride was wearing a spun glass
dress, and their curiosity reached the
point of mob violence before the police
could beat them back to make room
for the passage of guests.
But the bride laughed in the face
of these witches pranks and lived to
the honors that her husbands
brought him.

When winters at his Oldest
And coolest
And b0ldest,
Then cometh good ST. Valentine,
To show that love is burning
And signing and yearning,
And breathe upon the wintry earth
his tenderness divine.
When life is at its bleakest
And meekest
And weakest,
Then cometh good st. Valentine,
To show that love is rosy
And wistful eyed and coy.
And breathe pm. every torpid heart

DAY SACRED TO
Love AiISSIVES

WAS al enterprising young girl
who first captured the valentine
trade for America. Her name was
Esther Rowland. After gradual
ing from Mount Holyoke seminary she
resided with her father, who was a
stationer in Worcester, Mass. In 1910
she received from England a manufac-
tured valentine, the first she had ever
seen. 1t interested her so much that
she decided TO see whether she could
make some of these valentines and
find a sale for them.
She collected some lace paper, some
printed verses and sentimental pic
lures, fixed up a few valentines and
gave them TO her brother, who was a
travelling salesman for a grocery store.
To her amaZement her brother re-
turned with orders for $1,000 worth
of valentinesl Her establishment knew
no bounds. She quickly got together
some girl friends. taught them what
she knew about valentines and com
menced a prosperous trade that was
to reach the one hundred thousand
dollar mark.
First Love Misslves.
1t was a Frenchman who first con
ceived the idea of composing valen-
tines in verse. Charles, Duke of Or
leans, was taken prisoner by the Eng
liSh at the battle of Agincourt. in 1415.
He was consigned to tie Tower of
London. where he spent the mex TWEEN
ty-five years of his life. But the cold
walls of his dungeon could not com
dampen his sentimental ma
and from his gloomy vault came
sunny little verses to the number of
sixty. which are still to be seen among
the royal papers in the staid old Brit
ish museum. One of them reads:
Wilt thou be mine? Dear love, reply.
Sweetly consent or else deny.
Whisper softly, none shall know
Wilt thou be mine, love? Aye or no?
of fortune we may be
by one word from thee.
Life flies swiftly. Ere it go,
Wilt thou be mine. love Aye or no?
England at once adopted the fad
which it's royal prisoner had set. and
Valentines day found the coaches
more than usually laden with poetic
'utpourings of lovers, friends and
ven Slight acquaintance.
Old Romance Recalled.
One of the mos romantic histories
f Valentine children is that of Lady
.arah Lennox, born on February IA.
745. In fact, she apparently inherited
romantic temperament, for her own
tory is usually prefaced with a sketch
her parents romance-by way of

Her fathers marriage was no more
or less than a bargain to cancel a
ambling debt between the couples

arch, was brought home from col
ge to wed the plain little g~irl-bride
st out of nursery. At the conclusion
the ceremony the indignant bride

All Must Approve
Had every nation represented on the
League Council not approved the deci-
sion. it could not have been made. All
decisions must be unanimous. That is
the proviso League friends in America
point to as guarantee of the absolute
freedom of America under the rules of
the League of nations, and the one
which makes it impossible for Britain
to exercise more authority than this
country in the League.
Had the decision not have been ac-
ceptable to either of the contending'
parties, the course of the League
would have been to throw its moral
force against the country refusing to
accept. and decline to receive goods
from or deliver them TO that country.

be used against the nation refusing to
accept, but not without the consent Of
