Smith Co nrd tlio Smith-Powers Logging Co. vill bo "vsn n weoh'c holiday vn cntlon for tho ChrlatniaH nml Now Year's holidays. This announcement was made to day. Tlio Smith-Powers Co. had planned to closo down for tho holi days, but It was lndoflnto about tho mills. However, It la found Hint tho mills will linvn a mi indent amount of lumber nhend to onnlito thoni to rIvo tho employes tho longor vacation for tho full enjoy ment of the Clirlstmns season. As n result of tho delays In tho boats, qulto an accumulation of lumber Is ahead at tho mills. To storo this In tho yards would rc qulro n big forco of inon and pos ullily nn oxpenso of $1,50 per 1000 not to spcnlc of tho posslblo dnm ngo to tho lumber In handling. Thcro nro a niimhor of minor repairs and Improvements to bo niado around both tho mills and this will probably bo dono during tho holidays so as to prevent any further shutdowns, becauso the mills will bo kopt very busy when tho Adcllno Smith goes on tho run.

People who cense tholr social ac tivities with tno arrival of Lent, need only to consult tho church , calendar to bo reminded that this winter tho "social season" will bo ono of tho shortest on record, duo to tho fact that Lent will begin on February 18. tho earliest slnco. 1818. I Tho reason for this carlv arrival of that season of tlio yenr when j tho members of tho "soclnl whirl") aro forced to lay aBldo tholr nctlv-, ltlcs Is that tho Ideal or cccleslns tlcnl moon, adopted by churches! lMtndrods of years ago, determines tho dnto for Easter, which next yenr will fall upon March 23 one day later than tho earliest possible, date upon which Easter may fail, Mnrch 22. Tlio custom established by tho churches decrees that Enstor shall fall "on tho first Sundav after tho first full moon after March 21." "Easter," a church official said, "and with It, of courso, tho ondlng of Lent, Is a movablo feast and la fixed by tho Ideal moon, adopted by the churches hundreds of years ago, when thoy wcro attempting to sottlo upon tho fixed dato for Easter." So tho Individuals who bemonn tho fnct that their soclnl duties will ho cut short this winter hy the arrival of Easter can blnmo It on (he moon, tho snmo moon that' tho youth of tho lnnil usually pick1 upon to boar witness to somo vow,1 l-fcnlhcd In tho car of bis lady! fair. Various businesses will bo lilt by tlio early arrival of Lent, too. j Florlstw, stationers and caterers i probably will find tholr profits cut by tho abbreviated social Benson.
