st. Patrick's Day

The 18th of March is not so very
far in the offing now. Do yon know
when that famous Irish saint was
born? If you do, you know more than
the makers Of the encyclopedia, for
they say they are not sure, but it
was somewhere about 3S9, and he died
March Il. 461. The legend runs that
when he died there was no night for
II days.
The coed saint lived in what is now
England III the days when the Romans
were leaving Britain to its fate of
constant raids by outside tribes. Wild
Irishmen came in and carried Patrick
home as a slave. For six years he
served them as a swineherd. He es-
capped to France (then Gaul) and be-
came a monk before returning to his
home in Britain. One night he had
a dream of seeing a paper marked
The Voice CT the Irish" and hearing
the Irish calling, 1--WE pray thee, holy
youth, to come and walk among US
as before" SO he decided to be a
missionary, and went back to Gaul for
IA years preparation for his work.
The Pope blessed him and sent him
to Ireland as a bishop.
There were mo Christians in Ire
land when he began, and no pagans
when he died." it is said. That was
not strictly true, but he did build
many churches and monasteries, and
did much to establish Christianity
there. The land was ruled by fierce
tribal chieftains, as fond of fighting
as the Irish are now, and he worked
among many difficulties. Many leg
ends grew up about him; including the
one about his chasing all the serpents
into the sea. It is a fact that there
are no snakes in the island now. One
tale says that when some converts
questioned the doctrine of the Trinity
he held up the shamrock as an ex.
ample of the "Three in One" I'm.

For real bitterness the following
(from Mark Twain) is hard to match:
"A myriad of men are born; they
labor and sweat and struggle for
bread; they squabble and scold and
fight; they scramble for little mean
advantages over each other. Age

their prides and their vanities. Those

length ambition is dead pride Is dead;
vanity is dead; longing for release is
in their place. 1t comes at last-the
only Imprisoned gift earth ever had
for them-and they vanish from
world where they were of no conse-
quence; where they achieved nothing;
where they were a mistake and fall

fire groups are quite convinced that it
pays to help one another. Last Sat
urday the two groups under the su-

while the To-was-si acted as publicity

SWING SAYS ARIZONA
RESERVATIONS NO GOOD

California is not likely to look with
favor on any proposal for a meeting
between representatives of that state,
Arizona and Nevada for an agreement
supplementing the Colorado river
treaty, in the opinion of Senator
Ralph E. Swing, San Bernardino, one
of the legislators most interested in
obtaining a settlement of the dispute
over water and power rights in the
Colorado river.
California ratified the seven state
pact, dividing the waters and desig-
mating the interests of the various
states of the Colorado river basin. 1t
now is called OH to ratify the six
state pact, the terms Of which are
similar to the seven state agreement
negotiated at Santa Fe, N. NJ, in 1921,
under the supervision of Secretary
Hoover-except that the terms of
ratification now provide that with the
consent of congress it shall become eff
fective when six rather than seven
states have ratified it. This change
was necessitated by the refusal of
Arizona to ratify it.
Supporters of the six state pact
have reason to feel, Senator Swing
said, that congress will give its ap-
proval without the seventh ratifica-
ton.
Having entered into the agreement
at Santa Fe in good faith, and be-
lieving that the interests of Arizona
haves been justly considered on a basis
of equality with the six other states,
California, the San Bernardino sena-
tor said, is not likely to feel free to
enter into any supplementary agree
nient with Arizona and Nevada, as
press dispatches stated the Arizona
Legislature proposed. 1t is quite sure
he said, that no negotiations would be
undertaken which could be regarded
as not keeping faith with the spirit
and terms Of the original contract.
