NEW BEDFORD, Feb. 14. While
tramping around Nantucket with his
dog, Edward Dabis noticed a sticky,
wavy moRB wedged in between the

Today Is Valentine's day.
Maybe you are too young, or too
old, to have received in the mail to
day one of those lacy, pink-flowered
affairs, with little cupidt cavorting
around. If you are a school teacher,
or a crabby professor, or a fat man,
or a slim one, you inight have been
Uic recipient of a remembrance In the
torm of a funny verse or comic car
toon. Then you'd have known that to
day was Valentine's day, without The
Guard's having to tell you.
Custom, more potent than any
other author known to man, has de
creed that St. Valentine's day, which
in our calendar falls on February 11,
young folks of all sezes and oldr
ones too should exchange missives
ami epistles, either comic senti
mental, or both.
Times bsve not changed much since
the days of quill pens and expensive
postage, if we are to Judge by the
valentine displays In Kugene shop
windows. Swains three centuries ago
had to content themselves by sending
their fair ones some gilt-edgo letter
puper envolopcs were unknown
with some gold cupids floating around,
surmounting a few lines of the fa
vored formula saying that because
the Tose is red and violets blue, the
recipient is a sweet mama or words
to that effect. Not so today. Send her

before members and visitors of the
Four-Oaks grange which entertained
a number of state officers. A large
crowd attended the meeting. A bas
ket supper was served at 6:30 o'clock.
Willakeusie and Irving granges both

SI. II. Cilover, state overseer of the

LAI CATTLE PASS
GOOD HEALTH TEST
Now there is nu good custom with
out a reason. But the reason cannot
be found in the life of the good saint
who decorates the day with his came.
He wrote no love songs. No one
rises up to sccuse him of going on
petting parties with Itoman maidens,
lie was n bishop or popo of Itomc
who stood steadfast to that faith dur
ing the Claudiun persecutions, and
for his faith was cast into.jnil. where
he cured his keeper's daughter nfl
blindness.
Ktymologlsts say, however, that
"v' and "g" were frequently inter
changed in popular speech in the
early days, and that the Norman
"galnntin," meaning a devil . among
the women, got changed to "vnlnntin."
That explains it ,nud it probably ex
plains "Valentino."
' From Samuel Tepys, famous Eng
Hbh diarist, we get the fh-st record of
a drawing or Illustration connected
with the day. This under dnte of
February 14, 1007: "This morning
fame up by my wife's bedside little
Will Mercer to be lier Valentine, and
brought her name writ upon blue
paper in gold leterB, and done by him
self very pretty."
Introduction of cheap postage of to
day laid the foundation of the pres
ent flourishing trade In valentines,
tho manufacture of which furnishes
employment to several thousond per
sons every year. Cheap postage is
also responsible for the comic valen
tine, a hideous bit of caricature, that
was popular several years ago.

out, nccording to Kugene merchants.
No longer does dnd
receive the mis
sive from 10-yenr-uld Johnny calling
him the gnat, or the school teacher a
contribution dubbing her an old maid.
Humorous valentines can be found
aplenty, but they are of tho modifiej
form, the use of which has also ex
tended to Chrlstmns and New Year's
day.

according to Dr. F. H. Thompson,
