Lent this year will commence cary,
February 5, and Easter Sunday will oc-
cur on March %, an earlier date than
it will happen again for eighty-seven
years. Easter is determined by a rule
which provides that it be the Sunday
that follows that fourteenth day Of the
calendar moon which falls upon or
next after March. An early Easter is
said to mean an early spring and in
that case the spring of 1913 will be
here before any of them in recent
years.
The county commissioners have de-
cided that in the future the county
t~reasurers will have to do a little more
work than they have in the past, by
requiring that a daily balance be car
ried with every one of the sixteen
banks with which the county does
business. The amount of extra work
that this will mean to Treasurer Jul
lick and his deputy may be judged
from the fact that it was formally the
custom to balance up at the end of
each month.
