How Time For Observance Of Lent
Is Reckoned Is Mystery to A
Great Many People. zi +.
WHAT A CATHOLIC PRIEST SAYS
Episcopal Church Observes Period
Also-Easter Comes on April Is
This Year. il
Lent will begin this year on March

Lent will begin this year on March
1.
How Ash Wednesday and the Lent
season are reckoned seems to be a
mystery to many people. p
Lent is always reckoned from East
er Sunday, but to many people this is
equally mysterious.
Easter Sunday always is the first
Sunday after the first full moon after
the spring equinox, March Fl. If
the full moon is on Sunday, Easter is
the Sunday following. Easter comes
April 16 this year.
Lent is the period forty days before
Easter.
There are usually six Sundays in
tervening, but they are not counted
in the forty days.
Lent always begins on Ash We'd
nesday. 1t is always preceded by
Shrove Tuesday, which is the last
day before Lent.
A Catholic priest discusses the OBJ
servance of Lent as follows:
Lent is the christian season of OBJ
serving the forty days fast of our
Savior in the desert and consequent
ly the church expects its members to
follow the example of Christ in a
small way at least. All dances and
other forms of amusement are fore
sworn. On Wednesdays and Fridays
the members of the church eat no
flesh of animals and on other days
in Lent fish is eaten only once day.
Eggs and fish can be used at any
time and to any extent, except that
fish cannot be used at the same meal
as meat. From these observations
of Lent some aged and intirm persons
are exempt"
The Episcopal church observes
Lent also, but it does not indicate
any method of observance other than
various religious services held at in
tervals in the forty days of Lent.
The Episcopal church observance of
Lent is left by the church to the
mood and temperament of the COM
municant. The rules say: "The
church orders such a measure of alb
stinence as is more especially adapted
to extraordinary acts and exercises
of Devotion" This means that there
should be no formal parties or social
functions but that the church does
not place ban on the so-called in
nocent amusements. The observance
of Lent is left to the dictates of the
commandments conscience.

and there are few who know the
dairying business as we'll.
A recent test of sample of cream
taken from the Schroeder farm and
made by the state dairy and food de-
tpartment, brought the following let
ter:
est. Paul, February Is.
"Mr. Schroeder, Bemidji, MINI.
"Dear Sir:-The sample of cream
I took at your place few days ago
tested rs per cent.
" ~. "Yours truly,
eH. A. Lindenberg. -
The law requires that cream test
at least twenty per cent and milk
three and one half per cent. The
average run of cream produced on the
Alfalfa Dairy Farm has been about
twenty-five per cent and the milk
somewhat over four per cent.
The record for the past three
weeks of milk produced by 29 cows
at the farm is as follows: First
week, 1891 pounds; second week,
5,54l pounds and the third week,
$3.50 pounds. This shows gradual
increase week after week for the
month of February.
Many visitors have called at the
Alfalfa Farm during the winter
months, and to all it has been inter-
esting and instructive. Mr.. Schroe-
der is always pleased to entertain all
those who wish to investigate meth

Total expense. :. 1869 SO
This expense deducted from the
gross income leaves net profit for
the first twenty-five days in February
of s220.24.
One can hardly realize the fact
that these results were obtained
from just common cattle in rs days
time. When asked how he did it,,
Mr.. Schroeder replied: =:
"By giving them good care, good
treatment, comfortable quarters,
keeping the barn clean and sanitary,
with a liberal amount of daylight, a
good currying each day (not with a
pitchfork) and keeping the barn
good and warm" -..
"Why," continued Mr.. Schroeder,
'sthe foreman, Mr.. Collins, even takes
the pains of giving to each cow a
tablespoonful of salt each day. The
COWS are watered twice daily and
with the present arrangements one
man can do the work of half dozen,
when compared with the ordinary
conditions that existed previous to
our recent modernization."
Mr.. Schroeder keeps in close touch
with the Experimental Farm known
as the Northeast Farm at Grand
Rapids, of which Professor A. j. Nc
Guire is the superintendent. It il
known that many dairy men lose
nearly fifty per cent of the earning
power of the COW from lack Of good
care. Professor Mcclure gives ad-
vice gladly and freely at all times

Blackjack Query and Its Answer.
Some person writing from Black
duck and signing the query 'subscrib-
en-" has addressed the Minneapolis
Tribune as follows:
Editor of the Tribune: ~
Will you please explain in your
paper just the point of law that is to
be appealed from Judge Wizards de-
cision in the Indian lid case?
The Tribune replies in this fash
ion:
"That speedy reversal of Judge
Wizards recent decision that all
anti-liquor Indian treaties were alb
rogated by the admission into the
union of Minnesota as state may be
expected soon is the opinion of w. G..
Calderwood, secretary of the Mime
sofa Prohibition league.
"'Judge Willard based his deci-
sion on the assumption that an in
tent to abrogate the Indian anti
liquor treaties was implied in the ad-
mission of Minnesota as a state into
the union," said Mr.. Calderwood.
"But l believe, and those who are
pushing the appeal from the decision
of Judge Willard believe, that this
is not the correct Interpretation Of
the law.
We admit that the president of
the United States has the right by
proclamation to abrogate some of the
treaties, but the treaty that controls
Cass Lake can only be abrogated by
act of congress. This has never been
done. We believe that President Taft
tacitly acknowledged this in his re-
cent order in which he did not in
clude the Cass Lake territory in the
open territory. "
AS a matter of fact, Mr.. Calder
wood is not entirely frank in pub
lished remarks. Judge Willard de-
cided that argument of Judge Spoon
err to the effect that when Minnesota
became a state the Indian treaties
were abrogated was sound argument
and based his decision accordingly
and that is the decision upon which
the higher court is to pass.

going from Bemidji to Duluth. Nor

Another Gill Hartley has been dis

four miles west of Bemidji Though
a young man in years, he has made
an enviable record for himself as a
farmer. This man is none other
than one of Bemidji's leading mer-
chants, Wellington G. Schroeder.
With L. F. Collins as foreman of
this new modern dairy farm, known
throughout this section ofthe coun-
try as the Alfalfa Dairy Farm, it is
making a record for itself that even
farmers in southern Minnesota and
other states have become amazed.
The first tuberculosis tested herd

belonging to w. C. Schroeder.
Every COW was found perfect. An

kept of the milk produced by this
herd and during the first Is days of

Medical college, and later at Rush
Medical College, Ill. For thirty
two years he practiced his profess
sion, twenty years in Indiana, al
most four in N. D., several in Idaho,
and the last year and a half in
Rolfe He moved from Caldwell,
Idaho, to Rolfe, arriving here in
May, 1910.
DR.. Hamilton was a martyr to his
profession, as the real break in his
nealth came some five years ago,
when because of much travel and
Exposure, and a heavy practice he
overtaxed his strength, which
brought on kidney trouble. He has
not been in vigorous health since he
came to Rolfe. Last April he suf-
fered a severe attack and his life
was despaired of, but he rallied and
since that time has been gradually
declining.
Last Sunday he was at the church
service and being treasurer OF the
benevolence funds, received and re-
ceipted for benevolence money. Lat
er in the Sunday school he was very
much interested in the lesson and
discussed it freely. Sunday night
at bed time another attack OF his
malady came on and he fingered
during the night in a comatose con-
dition, and early Monday morning
passed peacefully to rest.
DIR. Hamilton was a well read man
in his profession and in all lines OF
history and literature. He develop
ed quite a speciality in the treatment
of some diseases. one OF which was
typhoid fever, Of which he treated
many cases and lost very few. HIS
ethics of practice were very COM
mendable. lie never refused to go
to n patient because he was poor
and in his years OF practice did
more than $4,000 worth OF work
among the poor for which he never
received a cent, his motto being
whatsoever giveth even a cup OF
cold water In His name, shall not
1
lose his reward His favorite Bible
example regarding his professional
life was the Good Samaritan.
He was converted in 1884 and
united with the Wesleyan Methodist
church but later in Idaho with bis
wife went into the Disciple church.
After coming to Rolfe he returned
10 the Methodist church of which he
has been a consistent member. Il

had great reverence for 1t.
