By general agree ment Easter Day fell on Sunday, but for centuries, owing to changes in the calandars and other causes, there was a confusion as to which Sunday should be observed. Tho rule adopted by thee Catholic rhurch and by the Church of Eng land is that Easter Day is the first Sunday following the Pascal full moon. This full moon is the one that occures on or after March 21st. If the full moon occurs on Sunday, Marrh 21st, 'Easier is the Sunday following, or March 28th. , Even ; this ruling gives a wide range for j MASTER MACHAN1C AT THE MAUPIN CARACE E. W.

' In case the full moon should fall on Monday, March 20th, the Pascal, which is the f irnt, full moon after the 21st, would not occur until four weeks later, on April 17th, bringing Easter Sunday on April 23d. This is the last possi ble date. In 1906 Easter fell on this date. ' Easter closes the 40 days of Lent. Its solemnities are supposed to usher gaiety in fashionable circles. The flower of the season ia the beautiful white Banter lilly. The habit of presenting Easter eggs to one's friends is a custom thought to have been derived from -the Persian magi, the egg being the symbol of creation, birth, or the resurrection possibly the re-crea- tlon of spring.' Dyeing the eggs is a Christian addition; red in particular He Fixes Your Gar To Stay Fixed East Maupin Man A HIGH POWERED GARAGE WHERE ALL KINDS OF WORK TURNED OUT AND WHERE EACH JOB CARRIES A GUARANTEE WITH IT. The name Fischer is rynonomous with all that is just right in the auto mobile repair line. That place where sick autos are made well and sent on their way functioning like new, is located in East Maupin at the end of the bridge, and is conducted by W. L. Fischer, who succeeded his uncle, Ed. Fischer, in the conduct of the place. In 1913 Ed. Fischer opened a garage repair shop in the small building now used by L. D. Ktdly as a private parking place for his auto. The next year Mr. Kelly erected the large building at the end of the bridge and it was taken over by Mr. Fischer. Here that gentleman con tinued in the business until Janu ary 9, 1923, when he died. From September, 1923 until Sep tember, 1925 the garage was con- i ducted by Mr. Kelly.y Then he leas ed the building to La Verne Fischer, an expert auto mechanic, who ig still conducting the place and whose busi ness is one of the most stable in Mau pin. Mr. Fischer was the first man in Maupin to install a cylinder honing machine. Along with that all ma chinery necessary to do work and do it right has found a place in the Fishier garage. A full line of auto accessories, tires, lamps, parts, etc., is also carried. Along with auto supplies and parts Mr. Fischer has the agency for radios. Jle has made a study of that game and at this time is considered as' being an authority on all things pertaining to the machines which "get ft'from the air." Two gas pumps, free airland water as well as a line of lubricating oils, make up the equipment of the Fisch er garage. Storage room is supplied BELL TAKES LONG VACATION Popular O. W. Agent Will Lay Off Full Month Spring haa gotten a strong hold on Bob Bell,' so much that he hag gone away on a vacation. He went to Vancouver, where his wife resides and from there expects to visit some of his old playgrounds in Idaho. G. A. Doel, an operator from Portland, will substitute for Mr. Bell during the latter's absence. Leased Ranch Hugh Wood has leased his Shady Brook ranch to his brother, Milo Wood, and the latter will conduct it this season. Hugh intends to move his family to The Dalles as soon as school is out he being engaged as manager of the Twin Peaks Auto company at Jhe county seat Delivered New Ford Kramer Bros, Motor company de livered a new Ford sedan to a Dalles man Inst Saturday. The car wa8 or dered from George Tillotson and de- livery was made by his successors. symbolizing the blood of the redemp tion. The above is a short history of the origin and calendar of, Easter Christian people the world over look upon the event as belwj the one of the church year forcibly reminding them of the act of the Savior in tak ing the sins of the world on himself, dying and finally coming forth from thee tomb cleansed and purified by the act of death. It is a reminder that all must die and that there is a redemption from early sins if peo- pie would but believe in the Lord j and follow His teachings. The Easter will be celebrated in Maupin this year by something out of the ordinary in church circles. The congreation and friends of the United Brethren church have ar- ranged a cantata as a reminder of IS a number of autos, the garage hav ing a capacity of about 10 machines. Laverne Fischer is a real mechanic. He personally supervises each job brought to his shop, and when that job leaves his charge it does so with a guarantee that it is right or bring it back. He is the accredited repre sentative of the American Automo bile association, and connected there with employs one of the most com plete towing and first aid cars on the line of The Dalles-California highway. His shop is alway8 filled with work, even when others in his line are "taking things easy." In addition to his auto work and garage Mr. Fischer carries a nice stock of fishermen's and travelers' grocery supplies. Those goods are selected with an eye to just what that trade demanda and that the store is appreciated is hown by the ' constant filling of his shelves with supplies. Connected with the Fischer garage we will mention that Verne's father carries a full line of fishermen's ac cessories i?h flies, leaders, hooks spinners, leaders salmon egg bait rods, in fact everything needed by fisherman! He was the first in Mau pin, to order trout flies form Europe. He also handles state fishing and game licenses, being the only one in this section to carry non-resident li censes. East Maupin, yes, tnd the West side also, is! fortunate that such an nsititution as the Fischer garage and store is located among us. The men who conduct those enterprises are awake to the needs of autoists and tourists. Their motto is satisfaction or no money, which should go a long distance with those who patronize them.

ALFALFA IS IMPORTANT CROP Eastern States Make Gain Orer West ia Past Four Year. A bulletin issued by the U. S. Bureau of Agriculture says that alfal fa is still most important in the west. Seventeen states west of the line from the eastern border to Texas to the eastern border of North Dakota had nearly four-fifths of the alfalfa acreage at the tine of the last agri cultural censsu in 1924. . However, in the five years from 1919 to 1924, the acreage in the 17 western states increased only 8.S per cent while the comparative gain in the 31 eastern states was 98.2 per cent Minnesota Wisconsin, and Michigan each made gains of more than 300 per cent in acreage, Illinois and Pennsylvania about 150 per cent each. In these five years Kansas dropped in acre age and lost position as the principal alfalfa state to Nebraska which was the second state in 1919. Other stages in which alfalfa acreage de clined were in the south, Texas, Okla homa, Arkansas, Tennessee, Missis sippi, Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina. . .
