In the old davs when the
Roman rulers had nothing else
to worry about, they did some
thing to the calendar, and Feb

Originally this perfectly good
month had 30 days in leap years
and 29 in other years. February
is from the Latin, meaning “to
purify.” It w>as the custom of
the Romans to celebrate the
festival of purification in Febru-
ary.
Julius Caesar named July in
his o«vn honor—he saw to it
there were 3! days in it. I hen
along came Augustus, and a
month was named for him, also.
But August had only 30 days.
So Augustus looked around and
picked on February, which had
no one particularly to detend it.
He just took a day off February
and added it to his own pet
month.
That’s why February ordi-
narily has but 28 davs. and why
August has 3L, in keeping with
the dignity of its imperious
namesake. — Ex.

That’s what a farmer who dropped in recently
asked us. “Nobody” he went on. “Industr’s
being built over; jobs are found for labor; town
fellows are told what to eat. But who cares for
the farmer?”
“That’s easy,” we told him. “It’s our BANK.
Some folks may forget who feeds the world but
‘we don’t.”'
