Four eclipses Of the sun and moon
are scheduled for 1907, two in Jan
uary, one the 9TH and 29rh, and
two in July on the 10Th and 24th
The star event of the eclipse line
will be the last mentioned, which
will be partial eclipse of the moon
visible from 9:04 to Hal on the
night of July 24th.
Easter will come early next year,
falling on March 81, and all of the
other days in connection with it are
correspondingly early. Palm Sun
day comes on March "a, and good
Friday on March 80. The first Sun
day in Lent is February IL, and
this makes the social season quite
short. The holidays in most cases
always come op the same dates.
Thanksgiving and Labor day, how
ever, are two that are set differently
Thanksgiving next year comes on
November IS and Labor day on
September 2.
The vernal equinox which marks
the beginning of spring comes on
March q, just ten days earlier than
the monthly division. The summer
solstice marking the true beginning
of summer will occur on June %
The autumnal equinox marks the
opening of autumn on September
"a. Then on December % the win
ter solstice begins and winter is on.
The chronological cycles show
that the winter is the 6.6l2th Julian
calendar and the 5,62Sth Of the
Jewish, beginning on September 10.
next. The Mohamedan year l,325
begins on February L. The year
is the l32d of the Independence of

Reforms Come With January 1.

Three laws of the greatest i'm
portance became effective yesterday
with the opening of the new year.
Each of these laws will effect every
person in the state to a consider
able extent and are Of general inter
est.
The one Of the greatest import
ance is the national pure food law,
which will effect shipments from
other states into Iowa, which, with
the state law of the same nature,
will compel the manufacturer,
wholesaler, jobber, retailer and
mail order house to supply the peo-
pie with pure and unadulterated
food. Owing to the fact, however,
that the state law gives the retailer
until July l to dispose of goods on
hand, the law will not be in full
force and effect. After that time
however, every person Offering goods
for sale must properly label all
adulterated or misbranded goods.
Another national law which be-
came effective yesterday was the
anti pass section of the national rail
road rate act, which compels the
railroads to collect the correct fare
in cash from every person who rides
on the railroads.
The state law is that which makes
it necessary to paint all gasoline
cans red.
ADuLTERATED FOODS.
In brief, the federal pure food
law declares an article Of food to be
adulterated-
l. If any substance has been
mixed and packed with it so as tic
reduce or lower or inJuriously affect
its quality or strength.
2. If any substance has been
substituted wholly or in part for the
article.
3. If any valuable constituent Of
J the article has been wholly or il

with the fowl killed by the -four
good shots from the Colony" fur
nished food for the festivities that
lasted nearly a week. Games were
played, athletic sports were enjoyed,
and some little time was spent in
military feats. The natives were
much amused over the games of
"stool-ball" and "pitch-ye-bar," as
taught by Governor Bradford.
The year 1922 brought distress
and misfortune to the Pilgrims.
Crops were poor, the winter exceed
ingly cold, and they prayed long
and often" for their "dayly brade."
The Thanksgiving of that year was
also attended by several of the most
wise" Indians. We find it recorded
that "a day was appointed by publick
authority and set apart from all other
employments" to pray to God for His
favor upon an Inflated people. The
morning was most beautiful one.
The skies were clear. The whole day
was spent in fasting and prayer. 1t
then rained with soft, sweet, mod
crate showers, mixed with seasonable
weather, as it was hard to say
whether our withered corn or droop-
ing affections were most Quickened
and revived, such was We bounty and
goodness of God" 1t was amid these
rains that Captain Myles Standish
went northward to secure provisions
of the Friendly Indians" Upon his
return he brought a large amount of
provisions. He also reported that
the ship supposed to have been lost
had been sighted. This gave great
JOY to the colonists. Relative to the
same we quote:
Having these many signs of Cod
favor and deception, another solemn
day was set apart and appointed,
wherein we returned glory and
honour and praise with thankfulness
to our good God who had dealt so
graciously with u.s."
Each year the Plymouth colony
held Thanksgiving. Passing on, we
notice the arrival of John Winthrop
and his associates, a very religious
people. They, too, held day of
"publick worship and thanksgiving. y
We find that on February %, 1880,
the first Thanksgiving is proclaimed
in Boston. The winter had been
very cold and a hard one. Many
deaths had taken place, the record
of which is unknown to history. Rev.
Cotton Mather is probably the best
authority of the times. He relates

An Apology.

Walter Rothschild, the richest bacn-
elor in England, had a close call with
matrimony when he was a young man.
A designing mamma had managed to
get the heir to the Rothschild millions
interested in her daughter, and tho
daughter did all she could to lead the
interest up to the point of marriage
proposal.
One night, at watering place, after
Rothschild had retired to his room.
he heard voices under his window
which he recognized as those of the
young lady and her mamma.
Has he proposed YETI" asked the
old woman.
Not yet" answered the daughter,
"but I'll have him hooked before long,
if only can endure his conversation

that on some occasions the Russian
spies disappeared by the hundred,
taking their permits with them!"
Then, there were sucn difficulties as
finding spies who could read or who
could even tell what they had seen.
Most of them knew nothing of badges
or insignia of rank, not to mention
the important military operations or
situations of which they had been the
wooden spectators. For all the good
the system did the Russians in send
ing out Chinese to take in a situation
within the Japanese lines, they could
as profitably put in their time contem-
plating the laundry ticket of an Orien-
tai establishment in our own Oshkosh.
The Japanese exercised so careful
a watch over the Cinnamon whom
they imagined to be in the employ of
the Russians, that they established
permit system, and when Chinaman
was found in the zone of operations
without a pass, or who was unable to
fully account for his presence, he was
promptly buried alive-at least this
is the charge made by the Russian Of
ficer, who is philosopher enough to
observe that it Is small wonder the
Cinnamon fiocked over to the Japanese.
and that even when apparently with
the Russians they were there for the
purpose Of aiding the Japs.
These disclosures have served to
emphasize the need of thorough Sc
cret service in the armies of Europe,
and probably those in charge of the
system of information have been duly
impressed by the adroitness of the
Japanese, although under other con-
ditions and elsewhere, the military
experts say they are not likely to en-
counter such difficult conditions as
were created by the uncertainties of
the Cinnamon. The Russians are led
to observe that their officers, if they
are going to have work in the Far
East, should acquire the Oriental Ian
guages, and that military training
hereafter must take into considera-
ton the relations, either friendly or
warlike, with people of other tongues.
The necessity of employing interpret
ers only adds to the difficulties which
beset those engaged in obtaining Sc
cret information. American officers
who contemplate the situation as
created by the spies say that the Rus
slams found out only what the Japa-
nese wanted them to learn, and that
most of the information was purposely
misleading According to the Rus
sian report, it was all an important
contribution to Russian defeat-From
