Dnrinr thla nertod of hixty-two years Easter will come fifteen, times fat March. Tho last tnne it came on March 11 was tn 1918, eleren years ago, butefore that time It had been fortyrix years since it had come on Mareh Easter ean nerer come earlier than Mareh U, nor later than April tl. The last time Easter oc cured on Its earliest possible date. March XI. was in 1818. one hun dred and eleren years ago, and It will not come any more on that date during the twentieth eentnrr. It will bo fourteen years before it eecurs on April 25. the latest date on which It ean come. ' Znee B Day Erestt - In olden times Easter was cele brated for .a period of eight days. but In the olerenth eentnry tho time was cut down to three days. later itwas celebrated two days and now it Is celebrated one day. On that day the masters took oc- SBlon to set free the slarea whom ey wished to make hanoy.' In that far off time peonlo used to kiss each other when they met on Easter. This . practice - has Veen done away: with except ' bt tho Greek ehurch whleh still sreets witn the holy kiss, on that day. Unusually large candles were sometimes used tn celebrating the Easter gatherings at tho churches. Candies weighing three hundred pounds were sometimes placed In the church and lighted to add to the Joys of Easter erenlna father ing. Sometimes smaller but rery long candles reaching to the ee li ng were used on these occasions. Once at least, tn order to hare something unusual and attraetlre. a ehurch erected a candle which together with Its candlestick was sereaty feet' high and the ton of the ehurch roof had to be remored to allow it to pass abore the top and ft stood high as. the steeple of the ehurch. Old Oasdlea Used When Easter was orer. what was left of these large and long candles was put to good use. They were taken down, melted up and made Into small candles which were used at the funeral of poor people who were unable tOjuynJah candles. For many con tunes people Hafe worn white clothing and decorated themselree with beautiful white flowers.' These were emblems of joy. light and purity. The present custom of decorating with flow ers, especially the free use of the snow white Easter lily, owes Its or. Iain to the early Christians' meth ods of showing their joy through the use of flowers.' " i IThe- time and manner of the coming of Easter -is quite a pus ale to many people. Its date Is set by certain phases of the moon. therefore It does not come on the same date each year- It always comes on Sunday next after the 14 th day of the Paschal moon, which Is the full moon after March SI. " - Dates Figured Far Ahead . : This la almost a meaningless explanation for the rank and file of people. But no one needs to worry orer the matter of Easter data setting. It wlU be figured out and publicly announced In. due time, because the astronomers and mathematicians who .do this hare an easy and delightful task to per form. It Is so easy for them and they like their work so well that the dates tn which Easter will come hare already been figured out for the next sereral hundred years to come. They can figure out the dates on which Easter will eome for the next hundred thous and, years with perfect accuracy and with the same ease that the arerage person ean figure out com pound interest. II the new calendar of 13 monus in a year, wnicn is now being agitated, should erer be ad opted Easter .would then eome on a fixed date. Doubtless some Sun day la. April would be selected as the fixed date. The later Easter comes the better the weather 'Is likely to be, the better the weath er the more the day ean be enjoy ed ky ail.

Mar. 9 ?AP) -The formula of Ellhu Boot for modifying the world court rules to bring about . an agreement be tween the United States and the world powers on America's res- errations of adherence to the court was- declared acceptable to day by two sponsors of this coun try s adherence. " The proponents of the court Senators Walsh; Montana, and Swanson, Virginia, both demo crats, in giring their spprorsl to day to the Root proposal adrised President Hoorer and : Secretary Kellogg that senate ratification of the rules, rerlslon would be ne cessary. Senator Walsh Is confident ' hat the senate at its forthcoming ex- tr asesslon can go to work on the ned world court rcscrratlon. He regards the Root proposal a sub stitute for rcscrratlon five adopt ed, by the senate which has been the stumbling block In acceptance by the world powers of these res ervations.

Mar. 9 Official club greetings from the Hubbard Woman's club to the Aurora Wo man's club were delivered by Mrs. Rebecca Cleaver when she, ac companied by Mrs. Blanche Brown and Mrs. Kathleen Beck- man, -visited the meeting of the Aurora club , Wednesday. Mrs. Brown gave a picture study of the "Children of the Shell" by Murlllo. to Influents. Thousands of for mer service men knew him, how-. ever, not by that name or title, but as "Woodbine Willie." The story of how he got the nickname is briefly this: One cold, wet night In the early spring of 1918, Mr. Kennedy was standing? bv a British Tommy in a front line trench. The soldier fumbled in his pocket. "I'm looking," he explained, "for 'art a woodbine I was sar lag." ' Now Woodbine is the name of a; British cigarette, which. in war times, sold at five for a penny, Kennedy didn't have -one, but leaving his friend he soon found a man who did. .When he, re turned, with the cigarette, the Tommy . thanked him cautiously. lit the fag. and after: taking one pnif. remarked: Righto, thanks sgain. Wood bine Willie." That Incident, Kennedy after ward related, made the-minister wonder : whether . thousands of other Tommies weren't In need of smokes- and so he became a walk ing warehouse tor cigarettes. I roamed throughout the -Brit ish forces,", he said, "giving away cigarettes and a little preaching with them. When the American troops came over I introduced them to Woodbines, - too."
