Inc celebration of Rosh HosbanaT
OF New Year, as is the case with Al

IL seems to have been a general Gus
TOM among semitic peoples to coun;

synchronous with the harvest fesu

range their calendar according to the

understood why, following the ancient
custom the Jewish new year occurs
In the fall And because of this dis.

years there is a few DAYS variation
from year to year in the date of the
celebration according to current cal

inherent from the ordinary concep-
ton Rosk Hashanah has a deem re.
ligious significance. 1t is called in
the Bible, the day of remembrance.
the day of judgment, and the dav Of
blowing the shOfar, or trumpet. 1t is
more than anything else really the
preparation for the great Yom Kippur.
the day of atonement.
The days between Rosh Hoshqnah
and fom Kippur are being known as
the awful days, or the ten DAYS #
penitence. each of which is observed
as a half-fast day by the more orrho-
doX Jews. while the Yom Kippur IL
self is observed as a complete fas-.
The SCcccth. or the feast of tabar-
naeles. which corresponds with the
Christian Thanksgiving, concludes the
cycle Of holy days with a weeks Gel
ebration and. as in all such cases. ,ht
hrst and last days of the Observance
are NAKED by religious services. The
week is really the thanksgiving fest
val which is largely analogous to the
modern harvest home. 1t partakes in
no wise Of the nature of the two PIE
ceding holy days and is connected
with them only in time. This feast
belongs rather 10 the cycle of the
three pilgrimages, concluding the
Passover, the Pentecost and the Feast

Joseph Crandall and Oscar Scott
discovered last winter that there had
been a matrimonial misdeal. and each

Mrs. Crandall left for a PENNSYLVANIA
town. The property of the two famil-
les was divided evenly before the re-
adjustment, and Mrs. CrandaH receiv-
cd as a bonus a bob-tailed horse. a
wagon and some money.
"Crandall and Mrs. Scott sent the
other pair away with their blessings.
and the incident was gradually for
gotten until a week ago it leaked uut
that all was not harmonious at the
Crandall home. A reference to the
kind Of pies Hetty used to make hal
made the former Mrs. Scott wroth, so
she left. Where she went is not
known. but Mrs. Crandall arrived in
town yesterday. driving the bob-taii-

We have the fever tick, which ha,
caused great damage, but solution:

cattle, and the tick killed. This gives
temporary relief. The different states
acting with the agricultural depart
ment at Washington, can rapidly push
the fever tick into the gulf. This will
be of great aid to the south, and an
effort should be made for a larger ap
preparation to aid in this tick extermi

interest in cattle, write a postal card

MIR. S. H. GAITSKILL WRITES
INTERESTING STOCK LETTER

While there has been considerable
talk and some writing on the subjec
of the possibilities of live stock il
the south, there have been no result!
of consequence. The southern maj
says cattle, sheep and hogs can b.
produced, but he does not go ahead
and produce them, and his writing anC
talking have no weight.
The man who loves stock, has rails
ed and does raise stock, simply says:
This is all bosh. If these things
were possible, the man who now owns
the land would raise some stock
Time was when people had faith
and believed, in a general way, what
they were told. But that day is past
and We are all from Missouri now
we want to be shown.
The southern man will point to his
scrawny, narrow-loined, thin-legged
steer to his razOr-back hog, and say:
They cost nothing to produce Just
look at them! They make their own
living and you see what they are!"
That is just the trouble. The man
that knows the demands of the mar
kets today, does know what they are,
and knows there is no market for
them, at a profitable price, if they
have Just grOwed."
1t is true, if such as they can grow
on this land, without any aid OF at
tentiOn from man, it is an Indication
that better could be produced, l. a
little aid was given. There are lands
in the south that produce fair grazing
ten months in the year. and feeds to
encourage growth and to fatten can
be grown at a low cost. The south
has some good soil-and sunshine,
rain, soil. moisture, warmth and Guilt
walton will make crops in any part of
the world. when they work in uni

An Open Opportunity
There is no reason why the south
eastern states should not supply a
good part of the calf crop which now
goes from Texas and other southwest
ern states TO the corn belt to be fin
ished. There is no reason why the
south should not furnish the north
ern eastern cities the early lamb that
is so much in demand. Expensive
barns are built and expensive feeds
are provided by the northern farmer
TO supply this demand; and the south
furnishes part of the feed; but this
cannot be done with scrub stock.
Good beef bulls must be used and
some of the good mutton rams sup
piled.
