Anna M. BeIobridich
Let us look back upon those days,
when first the immigrants started to
make their solitary way to our great
country. Although terrified with fear
of the tales they had heard of sea
monsters on those true-hearted came,
knowing that a land of sunshine, free
dom and equality awaited them at the
end of their tiresome voyage. Some
went to the beautiful sunny South,
which seemed to add greater joy to
their new happiness; while some went
to the bleak, gloomy North, where
the very demon Of death seemed to be
waiting for them. Still,
"noiling-rejo icing-sorrowing,
Onward through life they went.
Each morning saw some task begun
Each evening saw it end"
SO on they went laboring, laboring un-
til now we have achieved this great
nation which may be called skill
fully made masterpiece.
Why did they come? For liberty,
justice and freedom, which their native
country could not give them. They
came to enjoy our vast areas of terri
tory, and bountiful uplands, our form
of government to which every one is
welcomed, and our ways of living.
They came also to escape human slav-
cry, uncomfortable military service, and
above all, religious persecution.
Did they bring nothing with them?
Yes. Much! So much that we can
never repay them for their priceless
gifts; their ways of living, their Gus
toms, their religion, their forms of
government, their political ideas, hon
esty, bravery, knowledge and nobility.
Yet, this is not all they gave us, for
their most supreme gift is yet to be
mentioned and that is our great lead
ers, that not only lead in political but
in other world affairs also. When the
Dutch PATRONS came to our country,
little did they surmise they were to
give us some of our greatest men of
which one of them was President
Roosevelt; nor did they know that
Philip Schuyler would be of any i'm
portance to US. Neither did Garfield's
French mother know of her sons great
future and what we would profit by
it. Many gifts such as art, literature
and sculpture were given to us by the
Greeks. Law and government was a
gift by the Romans, without which no
country can long endure. For these
and many other gifts America and it's
people should thank the immigrant.

come thoroughly imbued with these
spiritual appropriations. These, then,
the immigrant can bring to us.
Different races excel in different
ways, so where all races are mixed
together, where intermarriage occurs,
there is balance maintained. The
product of this blending of racial
characteristics we consider the typical
American.
| The immigrant laborer is an asset
to this country; he works for low
wages, long hours and at hard manual
labor. In this way he enables the
wheels of industry to keep turning.
We have been considering the more
tangible assets of immigration. There
are other advantages that,he brings to
us which are no less valuable. Ac-
customed as he is to living on very
little, we may learn from him to be
thrifty and to make the most of what
we have
The immigrant does not leave his
country because he does not love it.
lie seeks the larger opportunity offer
ed by America. He brings to us then,
loyalty and patriotism. Our immi-
grant often gives to his adopted coun-
try all the patriotism and loyalty he
felt for his own.
Since the end of the World War
much attention has been given to
world unity. We now realize that no
nation can live for itself, but that all
the nations of the world must strive
together for the common good; not
for group, but for all. Only in this
way may peace be kept and humanity
progress. American contribution to
progress through the mixture of races,
and hence, their better understanding
of each other, is inestimable. Immi-
grafton has given us the opportunity
to serve the world in this way.

THIRD PRIZE-S2.00
George Anderson

When the first immigrants steered
their ships towards America, most of
them fled from political tyranny OF
religious prosecutions; others came to
improve their conditions of living. The
latest immigrants came for probably
the same reasons, with many more adj
ded. The early immigrants establish
ed government; this free, democratic
government from which the United
States is best known. Now many of
the immigrants come to America just
to embrace opportunity and get equal
rights in life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness which their fore-fathers
established here.
Many of the people who fought for
the independence of the United States
during the Revolutionary War were
foreign immigrants.
The immigrants, especially those
of Northern Europe, began to spread
out West to begin to do farming and
the great Northwestern Empire was
first settled by these strong, sturdy
and prosperous immigrant farmers.
Besides these gifts, they establish
ed social institutions, language, hab-
its and religion in America, which
were of first-class degree.
The immigrant also gave us men
and people of note. They gave US
Edward Box, one Of the best noted
lecturers and writer's, who is a Dutch
immigrant. James j. Davis, who is
Welch immigrant, is noted man. He
is now holding office as Secretary of
Labor in President Hoover's cabinet.

BIG FLOWER SHOW
PLANNED FOR FAIR
MIDLAND EMPIRE EXPOSITION
WILL BOAST OF PREMIER
DISPLAY THIS YEAR.

The floral department. of the Mid
land Empire fair which opens at Bill
lings on September for five days,
will be more than ever the premier
flower show of Montana this year, in
the opinion of ]. M. Bresnahan, man.
ager Of the fair. Many new features
and special prize offers have been
added to increase the interest of ANA
teur gardeners in the exhibit. Garden
ers, home owners and flower lovers
are requested to plan their gardens
and. flower plots this spring with the
view of entering exhibits at the COM
ing fair.
With the building of the All club
building last year, there is now much
more room in the home science build
ing for effectively displaying the
flower exhibits and there will be suf-
ficient space for much larger dis
play. There are no entrance fees. Mrs.
Harry w. Phillips is the superintend-
ent of the show. An outside Judge will
be selected to decide upon the win
ners.
With the selection of the giant zin-
MIA as the city flower of Billings, a
number of special prizes are being Of
fered for zinnia displays. Extra prizes
will be offered by both the fair asso-
citation and merchants and seed houses
from as far away as Oregon. A clas-
sification has been made for zinnias
grown by children under the age of Is
with number of premiums offered. A
free distribution of seed is being
made under certain conditions to
school children.
"Zinnias seem to grow better in Bill
lings and the surrounding district than
in any other section Of Montana, says
a prominent florist. "They are easily
grown and make attractive beds in
the yards. zinnia plants should not
be set out until danger Of frost is over.
The seed may be planted in the hot
house and the small plants transplant
ed to the garden little later. The
seed may be sown after the first of
May Ill Tie open ground.
"The ground for all flower beds
should be deeply spaded and well
worked. Good seeds or plants can be
obtained locally and will produce quail
ity blooms if given lots of cultivation
and plenty of water. Zinnias do best
in bright sunny place. They should
be placed at least foot apart.
"The secret of good plants and flow
ers can be summed up as follows:
Good seed plus good cultivation and
plenty of water and proper spacing
