; TIMK.
!. Jlere tho merchants have laid in Kaster stocks already,
'and we're hardly over the Christmas holiday festivities.
Jlost of us vaguely wonder why it is that Easter jumps
around tho calendar so much, coining this year on April 12.
It is because of the elaborate calculations which govern
.this and many other churchly dates in the" year.
! When the calendar was changed about 200 years agi ,
there was a great row kicked up about it in England, be
cause 11 days had been dropped in reckoning, and folk
somehow got the absurd notion that their lives were there
by to be made 1 1 days shorter. "Give us back the 11 days"
became a popular but unavailing cry.
' Just now lheie are proposals lieing made again to
change the calendar, this time so that they year may In
more handily divided than at present, and tho months pro
sent some uniformity. One proposal of a 13 month year,
with 28 days each month, found little favor, as it could
be divided really only into thirteenths. The newest plan
is for 12 months if lit) days apiece, with five extra days,
nut counted as dates. These would be, for the United Stalls
Memorial Day. Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiv
ing Day and Christmas Day. Unfortunately, so many rec
ollections cluster around the dates of some of these holi
days themselves, that the move proliably would not bo
accepted without a great deal of lengthy explanation.
Anyhow, it's springtime in Eastern Oregon, and we've
got to pay for Easter bonnets in spite of calendar" jumps."
