"Ides of February" Death Dealing Dis eases Reap Harvest in Second Month
 of Year.

The principal fight against death dealing diseases has shifted from the summer to the winter months, January, February and March. In each of these, more people of the United States die than in any other single month, owing largely to the heavy toll of life taken by the respiratory diseases, according to statiSti- clans of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. In point of mortality, they explain, February is the worst month of the year. while August is the best.
 During the five-year period 1881 to 1935-the monthly death rate was the highest in February and stood at 12.9 per cent above the average for all months. Close behind came January and March, with monthly death rates respec- lively 12.4 and 11.8 per cent above the average. In contrast to these danger months, August had death rate 13.2 per cent below the average for all months.
 Thirty years ago the summer months were dreaded because so many young children died from intestinal diseases and typhoid fever was a general menace. This situation has been largely over come through the education of women in the care and feeding of their children and generally improved sanitary conditions. The respiratory diseases, which form the principal cause of high mor- tality in the winter months, have now become outstanding foes against which the shafts of the medical profession and health workers in general are being aimed.
 "The work of fashioning these weapons" the statisticians say, lis actively in progress. Against pneumonia, serum treatment has well passed the experimental stage, and preventive vaccines bear promise of early success. Re- cent researches have also thrown heN)ful light on the causative agent of the common cold.
 We have every reason to con- centrate our efforts on this part of the campaign, because one of the leading public health prob- lems for some time to come will be to reduce the mortality from those diseases that make the win- ter months the hazardous season of the year. Prominent among these are colds, influenza, pneu- monia, and other respiratory diseases"

 Everlasting symbol
 It was St. Patrick's wish to leave to generations, then unborn, an everlasting symbol of his work in Ireland-in planting the seeds of Christianity within the con- fines of his chosen area-Ireland. Years, through untiring energies gave St. Patrick unbounded graces to accomplish the end of his spiritual work; the fulfillment of his longing desires-the con- version of pagan Ireland. With this end completed his work was only started. His later work in- cluGed the selection of the var ious sites for the erection of seats of learning for the young students of his day to follow his unerring teachings. As years roll by we find the celebration of St. Patrick'S Day, not alone in Ire land but in all climes, clinging with more fervent desire to the Irish heart.
 Through the ages of persecu- tiop when the hand of the spoiler was free, at it's will to ex- terminate those who believed in what the shamrock represented, the great omnipotent hand gave added strength and grace to them to hold, at all sacrifices, that

"The Shamrock" "
Little Green Trifoil Becomes Everlasting Symbol of the Life, Work of Irelands Glorious Saint Preserved Through Centuries of Suffering.

Christian faith cradled in their inmost hearts. Great events made memorable through the pathways of history have bloomed to waste their greatness at an early future date, but the celebration of the shamrock on St. Patrick's Day will never, never, die. Space for bids me to add any further com- ments on the worth of this little evergreen but the presence of it's leaflets resting near my pen asked me to give to the readers of this prose it's CeadMille- -Failthe. I have penned the above notes briefly as synopsis of the great work of St. Patrick, his planting of the shamrock, and his great desire for the land where he planted the seeds of Catholicity and Christianity to live in the Christian heart through all ages.
 THE SHAMROCK There's no place else but Ireland Where the shamrock can be
 sighted There it blooms as historys bea- By each hedgerow and boreen The atmospheric trailings Its iuStre has not blighted For St. Patrick blessed that tri-
 foil,
 With a little bit of green Yes, the shamrock there was
 planted
 And the mixture of it's teach Gave history's page a gleaming That spelled its honored name The voice of organism
 Was Sundered by it's preachings And framed a path of glory To broaden out it's frame. Oh the shamrock is mission To the scattered sons of Ireland And in all climes where they
 wander,
 For it's pressure they will sigh. The memory retroverted
 Of that once down trodden
 sireland
 Has shown brighter picture or our loving last good bye. Its workings chalk a pathway To lead us on through ages In plane of earthly glory Where Gods own hand holds
 sway.
 The turmoil of this earthly
 sphere
 With all its violent rages Won't mar it's treasured teachings On this St. Patrick's Day. St. Patrick blessed the shamrock To throw its voice through ages And trim the light of Christian
 love
 That was hidden shield And never through the tortures Of it's many hidden stages Could the force of might subject
 it
 To bleak or barren field Then rest within your laurels Thou emblem of old Ireland Sure centuries have blessed you With a longing for your say To breathe the air of freedom. Through hilltop, mound, and
 mireland
 On the day of celebration on this St. Patrick's Day.

On this St. Patrick's Day many who hold it's memory sacred are the proud recipients of that treasured little trifoil-the sham rock. To ascertain the origin of St. Patrick's Day and the sham rock, we have to tread back through the channels of history to the early part of the fifth century.
 During the years of St. Patrick's missionary work ill Ire- land to blight the roots of pa ganism, he planted and cultivated his chosen leaf to live through all ages-the shamrock. Futile efforts have been made to trans plant the shamrock in many

MOtOrist Is Held
Prisoner BY Wire

Sitting alone in his car on the
road east of Sleepy Eye through
the long night afraid to make a
move was the experience recently
of an unknown motorist. He was
driving along the highway when
a storm struck. Unable to pene-
trate the dense rain and hail that
tornado-like wind drove across
the road, the lonely motorist pulled
up at the side of the road to wait
out the storm.
On the opposite side of the road
water laden tree branches played
upon the heavily charged rural
electric lines, providing a pyro-
technic display that frightened the
wary driver. Then sudden gust
of wind toppled the telephone
poles and a profuSion of wires
enmeshed the car. There were
wires above and on both sides of
the automobile. The driver eau
tiously moved to the middle of the
seat. He was deathly afraid of
electric shocks and sat alone
through the storm until at four
o'clock in the morning local man,
called out for emergency work,
drove up and cleared away the
wires.
