Brown, Julian and Palmer were in the
capital city yesterday, on a double
mission, looking over the paving that
has been laid here in the past year
and to take up some matters before
the courts. The statement that such
sentiment as has been expressed in
Bartlesville and Washington county,

FEAST Of THE PASSOVER
Season OF the Unleavened Bread
Begins at Shutdown,
April 20

Shutdown, Saturday, April %, is the
hour of the beginning of the Jewish
Easter, 1910. which will be observed
throughout the world in accordance
with the custom of the people of the
Jewish belief. Observance or the day
will continue until sundown Sunday,
although those holding to the strict
Interpretation of the word continue
penance for seven days. Saturday is
the Hebrew Sabbath.
At the home service a number oil
symbols are used to impress ethical,
religious and historical teachings.
Among these symbols are the Pass
over cakes OF unleavened bread called
"Matzos." These are TO commemorate
the fact that at the time of the Jews
departure from Egypt according to
the statement Of the Bible. there was
no time to prepare bread and the
dough had TO be baked unleayened.
Other symbols are the egg, CORE
spending to the Easter egg, typifying
the ancient Paschal offering. Green
herbs, such as lettuce and watercress
are also placed on the table as EN-
blems OF spring. And bitter herbs, as
horse radish, are partaken of to repre-
sent the bitterness of the hard bond
age which the Israelites were com
PEELED 10 suffer while in Egyptian sla-
very. In this manner the exodus from
Egypt is annually remembered and
praises rendered to God for divine
providence.
Many Jews who keep the ancient
faith strictly refrain from eating
bread for seven days, using only nm
leavened Passover cakes.

Oklahoma, attaining voting age to-

sound over Guthrie. The whistles
were shrieking and the bells were
ringing. The children yelled and the
dogs barked: The pioneer thoughts
came surging up across the years OF
work and anxiety and hardship TO the
good day, when a big, fair state is
