HOW EASTER is FIXED.
Rules for Determining the Dates Of
Easter and Other Holidays.


Many copper country people know
that Easter day is a movable feast, but
it is probably not generally known
how It's date is determined.
Easter day" as an old church pray
or book SAYS, ION which the rest OF the
movable feasts ana holidays depend, is
always the first Sunday after the full
moon. which happens upon or next
after the twenty-first Of March; and IL
the full moon happens upon Sunday,
Easter Sunday is the Sunday after
but note that the full moon for the
purpose Of these rules and tables, is
the fourteenth day Of a lunar month.
reckoned according TO an ancient &C.
clesiastical computation, and not the
rea or astronomical full moon"
Rules for determining the dates of
Easter and other holidays are given in
prayer books and breviaries, and are
interesting but complicated.
In determining Easter. this rule is
still followed. 1t happens that the hol-
iday this year falls on April Z, because
this is the first Sunday after the full
moon, which occurred on Monday,
April 1. According to calculations de-
duced from astronomical observa tons,
or which for our practical folk can be
deduced from an almanac, full moon
occurred at 4:O4 i'm the afternoon OF
April /.
Reckoning back from Easter. the
date of the beginning of Lent. is de-
termined. Following Easter. the dates
OF Ascension, Pentecost, and Corpus
Christi are fixed. as well as the num-
Der Of Sundays that will occur between
rentecost and Advent other important
church foasts."

Five pitchers were used in the
melee, St. Louis employing three.

pitching one of his best games.
Same old combination, Baker

A PROTEST
Open Letter to the Proposed Mem
bers of the New Secret Order.

Editor of The Banner:-In the ca
pacity of moral adviser to the peo-
pie and meddler with all things
seeming to me, unholy, wish to of
fer a few words of wisdom to the
foolish. Some of you, our local
fellow-ctizens. have been enlisted in
a proposition to join new Secret
Society, called believe, THE Loyal
Order of the Moose, A gentleman
from Bennington, evidently no friend
of yours, but working presumably for
the benefit of his own pocketbook,
is the active agent in this new cult
of secrecy.
| suspect that he has not told you
the real reason for it's proposed ex-
istence. Otherwise men of standing,
some of them with families to sup
port, would fight shy of the scheme.
Let me tell you what most of us be-
lieve the ultimate program TO be.
1t will be to stir up unholy passions
and consume firewater as some other
similar orders and clubs, not far
away, are doing.
If this is true, and what other rea-
son should there be for this strange
activity of an organizer, evidently
working for himself and other inter
ests-if this is so, every one of you
who join this order will be con-
demned by those of us who care for
the fair name of our village and
are laboring for its improvement. 1t
cannot be that you care nothing for
what your fellow citizens think of
you. II cannot be that you will take
the responsibility of bringing such
an agency of the Devil into our midst
and making for yourself and your
families the descent to Hell all too
easy. AT least let me remind you
that If you do not care yourselves
your fellow citizens do care and will
not tolerate any public nuisance or
any Illegal club liquor selling under
whatever line name.
Let me, as your friend, earnestly
advise you to weigh this thing more
carefully A bad pladge is better
broken than kept and | trust you
kept away from the first meeting on
Sunday
Sincerely your friend,
James S. Clark.

KILLED BY LITTLE BROTHER
Fatal Accident While Playing With
Shotgun

East Wallingford, Dec. 6.-While
playing with a heavily charged shot
gun, in spite of the fact he had been
warned not to do so, Harry Arm
strong, the nine-year-old son of MIR.
and Mrs. Bert Armstrong of this
place, shot and instantly killed his
brother, George, aged 10. The acct
dent occurred tonight at six O'Clock.
The children had been told that they
must never use or handle the gun,
but as their father is seriously i'll
with typhoid fever the youngsters
repaired to the woodshed where they
were busy for some minutes looking
over the big gun
Finally George said, Harry, take
good aim and shott at me-" Not
realizing that the gun was loaded
the little chap, using all his strength,
took careful aim and fired. The
charge of shot almost tore the head
from the body of his brother and
killed him instantly.
The recoil from the gun threw
Harry into the corner of the wood
shed and his shoulder was badly
bruised. DR.. Bates of Ludlow hap
pened to be at the house in atten-
dance on the father.
