EASTER FALLS LATEST
FOR SEVERAL SEASONS
Happened Only Nine Times in Two

turtles

Only nine times in two and a quarter
centuries has Easter fallen as late as
IL does this year. Only five times in
this period has II come later in the
spring than it does during 1905 and
than two days later In all OF the time
from 1856 To 2O13 there is not one
occasion when IL falls later than April
-. and only twice does il come on this
day OF the month. During this per
iod IL comes three times on April u
and four times on the 23d.
This year Easter Sunday will be
celebrated on April %. This is the
latest date since 1856. when it came
on April %. the latest date possible
As a result OF late Easter. Lent. OF
course falls correspOndingly late. and
this means a very long social season
this winter which will last till March.
Lent can come as early as Feb. 4 and
az late as March 10. but it more often
begins from the middle TO the latter
part of February. thus cutting of the
gayety Of the social season right at its
height.
The lateness of Easter and Lent this
year will be- appreciated by the ladies
OF the city for many reasons. some of
which perhaps may seem trivial. but
nevertheless they are OF considerable
moment tO them. In the first place the
OF the social season is
really considerable treat. then Lent
is always taken advantage of my many
as time To- prepare the spring and stun
mer wearing apparel. While they are
kept out of the swirl OF society by their
regard for religious duty. they utilize
the time in making up their clothes.
and the hum of the sewing machine is
the prevailing sound in the household
during this season. This year Lent
beginning SO late ali of the spring and
summer fabrics will be on display in
me stores OF the city and they can
have the latest there is to begin on ut
once.

MAY ESTABLISH A
METHODIST COLLEGE
Appeal For Funds Made to Mem
berS of the Church in
State.

Appeal has been made to the mem
bers of the Methodist Episcopal church
in this state to give their aid in a
movement now on foot among the
MethodistS OF Illinois to establish a
Methodist college within the shadow
of the state university and which
movement is being led by Rev. c. b.
Taylor, presiding elder of the Cham
paign district. Rev. Willard T. Noble,
pastor of the Parks chapel, located
near the university. and Prof. 7. j.
Burrill of the university.
In their appeal the leaders state that
owing to the relation of American
schools and state universities can not
give religious training which ought to
be given, neither could the school well
give it, and as a remedy TO present
conditions the following ideas are to
be carried out if possible:
That a college be established in Ur-
bana, in close proximity to the state
university, under the auspices of the

White River Country
 &e Beauty and Richness


Beautiful rivers have been the theme of poets since the world began. Wherever people have lived, loved and died, there some Niver has been immortalized by $Se ", w,iter's pen and the poets song. In sparsely settled coun- tries there are beautiful rivers that have yet to become widely known, among them the White River of Arkansas, rivaling the blue Danube and the gentle Mo- hawk in attractiveness with it's tributaries, draining a surface of 17,4OO square miles. It takes its rise in Southern Missouri, near

of beauty. Shelvy bank and op- posite moss-grown rocky ledge tempt the eye to finger on the scene.
 It is little wonder that former savage tribes bitterly opposed the onward march of the pion- eers with the natural treasures of this land-the nonpareil of hunting and fishing preserves as the object of contention. Civ ilization has found foothold suf- ficient to redeem the country to progress and enlightenment, but the savage denizens of the for est are no more, and their canoes no longer dart hither and thither on the winding stream. The white man now emulates the ex- ample of his dusky brother, and canoeing is a prime and growing sport on these waters so perfect ly adapted to it's requirements. The game remains practically undisturbed on the uplands, and wild fowl flock to the streams where also many varieties of fish abound.

tourist who makes the day run between Carthage and Newport on the White river division of the Iron Mountain route has spread before him a panorama which, it is not too much to say, is unequaled in general beauty and startling surprises. The eye dwells upon a charming scene which, like the slide of the ster- eopticon, is suddenly withdrawn as the train darts thr ough tun- nel and emerges upon an entirely different view. Monotony Is out of the question unless 1t be that a sense of sameness $ experi- enced in rapidly shifting scenes which terminate only with the day.

Telephone a Profitable Investment

The first impulse of man VINO mas

ont the increment in an equally profit
ohle investment. 1t is this same I'M
mise that impels the farmer to avail
himself of the latest improved farm
;mnlements. to avail himself OF every
labor saving device; and to do every
thing in his power to get In direc'
communication with the consumer
and to convenience them by so placing
himself that they easily communicate
with him.
II is obvious, therefore, that every
farmer in the vicinity of OnancocK
that is using telephone for business
has found that it offers greater con
yenience to consumers than any
means that could be employed at tne
same cost. 1t also proves dehnitei'
that telephone in farm house save
many trips to town, that it does AVA
