Rescinds Tariff Order
The proposed charge for reconsign-

susoended by the Interstate Com
merce commission following com
plaint made by the traffic bureau of
tne commercial ciuu ui vmana auu
others. The roads had proposed to
put this reconsigning charge into ef
fect March 15. The rule would have
put into effect reconsigning charges
on all ireight except live stocK, gram
and fruits.
The tariffs had fixed the charge
at $2 if the order was given while
the car was in transit to first destina
tion and $5 if given after arrival at
original destination. As these charges
seemed to be excessive and would
have worked a considerable hard
ship on a great many lines of busi

ST. PATRICK'S DAY
BRIGHT WITH GREEN
Nation Joins Sons of Erin in
Celebration of Patron Saint's
Anniversary.
HAD SNAKES ON THE SUN
By A. R. GROH.
When my friends, Fitrmorris, Flan
nagan, O'Brien, Murphy and Kellv
each reminded me during this week
about Saturday being St. Patrick's
day, I decided it would be well to
commemorate the great day in this
column.
The five gentlemen mentioned. I
might state in order that there may
be no doubt in your minds, are Irish
men, Yes.
"It's really remarkable how the
whole nation joins in to celebrate St.
Patrick's day. Swedes, Danes, Ger
mans, Italians, all wear the green and
decorate themselves with harps and
shamrocks and clay pipes.
We don't take any notice of the
birthdays of the Scotch patro l saint,
St. Andrew: or the English, St.
George; or the Welsh, St. David; or
the Russian, St. Nicholas. But then,
begorra, they weren't such good saints
as St. Patrick.
How the Day Happened.
You've heard how the 17th of
March came to be celebrated as the
saint's birthday? Well, long ago in
Ireland they had a controversy as to
whether St. Patrick was born on the
8th or the 9th. Shillalahs were wield
ed and many a head was cracked,
until Father Mulcahy happily induced
the people to combine the two dates
and make the 17th the proper day.
As a matter of fact, the day and
even the exact year of the saint's birth
are not known. Nor is the place of
his birth known. Scotland, Ireland,
England and Wales all claim the
honor. But Scotland's claim is the
strongest.
He was born about the year 372.
Captured by pirates when 16 years
,ld, he was sold into slavery in Ire
land. He herded swine in what is
now County Antrim for seven years
and then escaped to the continent.
There he studied and was ordained
successively deacon, priest and bishop
and finally -went back to Ireland to
preach Christianity.
Druids in Power.
The Druids were in religious power
there then and they opposed Patrick
in every way. Their power was so
great that, in order to prevail against
them, he had to turn their fertile
lands into dreary bogs, had to curse
their rivers so that no fish swam in
them and even had to curse their
kettles so that, no matter how hot a
fire they built, the kettles would not
boil.
The good priest Is known best, of
course, because he drove the snakes
and toads out of Ireland. This, Col
gan says, he accomplished by beating
on a drum. He beat so valiantly that
he broke the drum and if an angel
hadn't appeared instantly and mended
it, why there might be snakes in Ire
land today. He used the shamrock
to illustrate the doctrine of the Trin
ity to the heathen.
Well, begorra, we Irish are all
right. More stren'th to our arrums.
And dear ould Ireland I Ah I
"Dear Krln. how awattly thy green txieom
rtaoa,
An emerald aet In the rlnv of the aeal
Each bind, of thy meadowi my faithful
heart prtaes,
Thou queen of th. weat, the world'a
ouahla-ma-chree."
And so, Irish.nen, we salute you.
May you never be without a caubeen,
a threeheen and a sligeen.
School Board May Ask
Vote On Some More Bonds
Members of the Board of Education
at an early date will meet in commit
tee of the whole to consider the build
ing situation and the advisability of
submitting another school bond prop
osition. The teachers' committee canvassed
the situation and learned that fifty
more rooms are needed to furnish ad
equate accommodations in the ele
mentary schools, the proposed new
High School, of Commerce being an
additional problem. It is estimated
that a bond proposition of not less
than $50,000 may be submitted to the
voters.
Based on the normal growth of the
schools, the teachers' committee fur
ther believes that fifty more rooms
will be needed in the elementar;
schools within the next five years.

Here's the explanation, brief, yet thorough. Until a few days ago we thought we could somehow or other pull over ONE more
season at this location. We thought that perhaps the new building upon this site might not yet be commenced for a time. And '
we purchased accordingly quite the GREATEST, unquestionably the LARGEST, and assuredly the NOBBIEST Spring stock
of women's attire we have EVER purchased. But, events fly thick and startling in this modern era and we have been notified
that "The Wreckers Are Coming" to demolish this structure. As a consequence, we must do just as YOU would do, were you
confronted with the SAME conditions WE ARE GOING TO CLOSE OUT THIS ENTIRE STOCK IN A HURRY, AT PRICES
LOW ENOUGH TO EFFECT A HURRIED CLEARANCE. The figures quoted below are eloquent, for PRICES TALK.
