At shutdown Friday Jews throughout
the world will begin celebrating the
Feast of Passover, which will con-
tinue until April IS.
Oldest Hebrew Feast.
Passover, or Pesach, as if is called,
is the oldest Hebrew feast. It dates
back $500 years and celebrates the
deliverance Of the Jewish race from
the despotic rule of Pharaoh. Upon
the stories Of the flight Of the Jews
from Egypt, their subsequent wander
ings for forty years, and the leader
ship Of Moses, depend the later stories
Of the acceptance Of the Ten Com
mandments on Mount Sinai and the
final building of the temple at Jerusa~
lem. The observance of Passover fol-
lows closely the details Of the Biblical
tale throughout the entire week.
70 Friday night the first Seder is held
at the homes of all the Jews of the
world. The observance of this Seder
or feast has hardly changed in the
slightest since it was originated. The
members of each family make this
event. home coming, and the eman-
! cipation of the Jewish race and praises
of it's leaders are sung during the
feast. At the close prayer is offered
for the establishment Of Jerusalem
as the home of the Jew as Of old. This
means more to the Jews oppressed in
Russia and Roumania than it does to
the free citizens of America. To those
still pining in slavery, Passover still
sings the song Of ultimate redemption,
while to those living under free flag,
it teaches the undying lesson of graf
itude.
@ Characteristics Domestic.
The main characteristics of the cele-
bration of the Passover are mostly
domestic In orthodox homes the feast
will be observed both Friday and Sat-
urday evening, while the reformed
Jews hold but one feast. On the fol-
lowing Friday and Saturday more spe'
cial services are held at the syna-
gogues, while in the reformed temples
only Friday is observed. The symbols
of the Sedar service are the roasted
lamb bone, reminding the Jew of the
lamb that was slaughtered as sacri.
flee Of the covenant; second, the mat
zah or unleavened bread, to be eaten
during the whole week in place of or
binary bread, recalling not only the
hasty preparations with which the
Israelities hurried out Of Egypt, but
their absolute reliance on God; and the
!: bitter herbs, suggesting wildly the
: bitter life of Moses and his brethren
while in the land Of Pharaoh. "

an order would do much good in the
army. He added, however, that it is
only personal opinion and that he
has not discussed it with other offici-
ais.
If the prohibition forces of the coun-
try have their way liquor will be
barred in army circles as it has been
barred in the navy by the order of
Secretary Daniels. Secretary CARR

MIGHT LIFT
BOOZE ORDER
Daniels WithhOlds Decision on
Modifying Rule in Exchange
of international COurtesies.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-Secre-
tary Daniels, when asked today if his
adjustment Of the wine mess in the
navy would hold good when the ex-
change Of courtesies between officers
or our navy and others became neces-
sary, hesitated for a few minutes and
then said:
4 have not gone into that phase
of the question. I will want to talk
with Surgeon General BREASTED, up
on whose recommendations I based
my order, before answering your
question:"
The surgeon general is believed to
be in favor of the lifting of the mo
booze" order, as it is called by the
navy men. In the last paragraph Of
his recommendation he says:
ut is probable that upon certain
special occasions international cour-
tesy might render it advisable to tenn
porarily modify such regulation;
this could readily be done by depart
ment ORDER"
! This, it is declared here, is an
indication that if Secretary Daniels
takes the advice of his surgeon gen.
eral, he will temporarily lift his or
der during the exchange Of interna-
tional courtesies.
There are many here who doubt,
however, that the "no booze" order
will be suspended.
Influenced by Bryan.
They base their opinion on the fact
that Secretary Daniels is a close fol-
lower Of Secretary Of State Bryan
and is believed to have been influence
ed by the latter's view on the liquor
question in issuing the regulation. Mr.
Bryan broke all precedent in Washing
ton by entertaining foreign diploA
mats on grape juice and did not con.
slider it necessary to give them any
thing stronger to drink.
; It is agreed that if grape juice OF
the like is good enough for an ambas'
sador it is certainly sufficient for 8
foreign admiral or captain. The bar
on liquor at diplomatic entertain.
ments, which was set up by the sec.
rotary of state, caused lot of talk
in Washington, but is not blamed TO,
any Of the difficult spots in our for
eign relations. If Mr.. Daniels listens
to Mr.. Bryan, the mo booze" order
will probably remain in effect at al
times. .*....:.... .>-.> :
Representative Padgett, chairman
of the house naval committee, says
that he is in accordance with the or.
der Of Secretary Daniels.
Opinion is about evenly divided
among the officers on duty at the navy
department as to whether the secre.

CLUB DINNER.

The Wausau Club invited in its
members to Is cent dinner on Tues
day evening. 1t was to be followed
by free lecture by Mr.. Frank Stock
dale on the Dawn of Plenty" Dur
ing the hour at the table the guests
were entertained by Mr.. Jack Burt
and Miss Cornelia McCrossen, who
went through many of the new dane
ing steps to the great delight of all.
The lecture was splendid one and
well worth the hearing. The attend
ance was comparatively small, because
of the other events which had been
previously ranged for. The inspec-
tion Of st. Omer Commandery No. l9
X. t. took away nearly nifty men
and the supper at the Baptist church
was another drawing card There
should be an attempt made in our
city to distribute important meetings
so that they will not conflict.

Upon the request of large number of our fellow

upon cash basis to give the tax payer full value for

necessary public improvements and in aid of measures
tending to the public welfare feel that can safely
submit to the voters of our city, for approval of
faithful public service.
Our city is now In condition when lower tax
rate can be honestly promised and expected. This
was possible in the past years. owing to the
necessity for the repair of the damages caused by the
food; the placing of our city water works in safe
condition, insuring supply of pure wholesome water
and fire protection for factories and homes with

FARM PRODUCE TO BE
SENT BY PARCEL POST
3urleson Plans Butter and Eggs Direc
to Consumers.

Preliminary steps were taken by
the pastoffice department on Sunday
to perfect its plan for reducing the
cost of living by having the parcel
post carry the products of the farm
directly TO the door of the consumer.
Ten cities were selected to begin
the work of establishing direct con-
nections between producer and cCn-
sumer. Postmaster General Burleson
has also issued an order permitting
the use of crates and boxes for butter,
eggs, poultry, vegetables and fruit
shipped by parcel post,
Orders went on Sunday to the post
masters at Boston, Atlanta, St. Louis,
San Francisco, Baltimore, Detroit,
Lacrosse, Lynn, Mass, Rock Island,
H., directing them ''to receive the
names of persons who are willing to
supply farm products in retail guam
titles by parcel post" Printed lists
of these names, showing kind and
quantity of commodity available, will
be distributed among town and city
patrons.
''By the use of the lists" said First
Assistant Postmaster General Roper,
''the consumer will be able to get in
touch with a farmer who will fiji his
weekly orders for butter and eggs and
other farm produce. The consumer
will receive the produce fresh from
the country and the personal rela-
bionship established VIII 10 doaot
tend to inaprcse the quality. The
farmer siil be relieved of carrying
his produce to market as the rural
carrier will make daily connections at
the farmers own door of these retail
shipments to city consumers.
"Tle point has been raised that diff
ficulties will be experienced in the re-
turn of hampers and other containers.
The farmer may use inexpensive
hampers, whose value would not war
rant their return, or ne may use the
higher grade hampers for which he
may include All additional charge TO
be credited to the consumer upon the
return af the hamper by parcel post. p"

A GOOD IDEA.

Mr.. EDITOR
l am not kicker, usually, but for
many weeks | have thought l would
jump into print and just register a
little one and see if it would do any
good. 1t has been the custom of our
people. to go on and make arrange
ments for any kind of an evenings
entertainment without paying the
least attention TO other events of inn
portance which have been advertised
long in advance, thus dividing up the
attendance so that there is only a
handful at each. 1t is usually the
one who has butted in az the last
moment that finds the most fault
because of the poor attendance.
There should be more deference paid
to these things and avoid confaiction
as much as possible. This would be
a benefit TO all and the result will
give much better satisfaction.
If there could be place where all
events could be noted, such as are
prominent. our people may b. edu-
