The New Years day in the passing
of the centuries has thus come to en-
body the great religious ideas of di-

AS the beginning of the Jewish re-

Will CELEBRATE
JEWISH new
YEAR
HEBREW PEOPLE OF LAS VEGAS
PLAN AN ELABORATE RELl-
GIoUS SERVICE

In celebration of the Jewish New
Years day, which falls this year on
Monday, September 21, impressive
services will be held Sunday evening
at Temple Montefiore. There will be
especially beautiful music and a ser
mon adapted to the occasion, by Rev.
Dr. Jacob H. Landau, spiritual direct.
or of the congregation, There will
be another service on Monday morn.
ing at 10 o'clock, with a special ser
mon.
The feast of Rosh Hashanah or
New Years day, which inaugurates
the most solemn season of the Jewish
religious year, begins this year on
Sunday evening, September 20, and
lasts till sundown Monday 21. Among
orthodox Jews who celebrate two
days, the following day, Tuesday, is
also observed. This day opens the
Jewish calendar year 5675.
The observance of this day as a
holy season is commanded in two
passages of the Five Books of Moses.
namely Leviticus XIII, "a and %.
and Numbers xxx, 1. In neither
passage is there any specific com
mand as to how the day is to be OBJ
served beyond the injunction to blow
the trumpet to hold a holy convoca-
ton and to engage in no servile oc-
cupation.
1t is to be noted that this day is
the first day of the seventh month or
the day of the new moon of that
month. The new moon was observed
as holy season by the Jews of old !:
The seventh month was a particularly
holy month, as the seventh day was
the holy day of the week; hence the
new moon of the seventh month was
invested with a significance of far
holier import than the other new
moon days of the year. AS in all holy
seasons no servile work, no gainful
occupation was to be followed.
The Injunction to blow the trumpet
on this day was to call the people
to remembrance before the Lord. In
the course of time this ceremony of
blowing the "shofar" became the CEN
tral feature of the elaborate religious
service conducted on the day. Just as
the shofar called the people to remem.
brance before the Lord, SO also were
its sounds to arouse the people to
their shortcomings and to their duties
IN which they may have failed. The
day is called on this account Yom
hazikkaron, "The Day of Memorial" ;"
Another idea which in time came
to be associated with the day was
that on this day God weighed mems
actions in the scale Of justice, For
this reason another designation of the
day is Yom haddin, "The Day of Judg-

WOMAN'S BOARD OF TRADE is
OBLIGED TO DO LOTS OF

Santa Fe, Sept. 17.-The coming Of

At the meeting of the Woman's
Beard of trade, few typical cases
were cited that brought tears to the
eyes of many One in particular was
very sad. A mere girl not yet IS
years of age, but about to become a
mother, was left here by her husband
who went to Colorado to find work.
She was without money, without
clothes except those she wore, without
food, without shelter. Although unde-
niably beautiful, she had the look OF
a hunted animal, dazed, detected, hope
less. At first a few women Of the
neighborhood brought her such com
fort as they could until the charity
committee of the Woman's Board OF
Trade took the case in hand, provided
suitable clothing, food and comforts
and finally furnished the transporta-
tion to take her to her husband in
Colorado The transformation wrought
in the young woman was a revelation
even to the charity workers and she
left happy beaming, hopeful, and with
faith in God and man restored. 1t
had been sacrifice worth while on
the part of the charity of workers but
there are so many cases that demand
attention and the board has been de-
prived of the income from the lew it
enjoyed for years by the activity of
energetic citizens who discovered that
the tax levy was illegal and had it cut
off by the court.
Take the Instance of a 16-year old
consumptive boy, who had been put
on train without a cent of money.
He was consigned to agent H. S.
Lutz of the Santa Fe at Santa Fe" who
looked after him until the charity
committee could place him in st. Vim
cents hospital where the good sisters
are also overwhelmed with charity
cases. The boy was willing to work
but unable to do so. He made a pitt
full figure as he sat in the Plaza dav
after day, homesick, suffering, heart
broken, without means and without
hope. A penitentiary sentence would
not be too severe punishment for pbv-
slclans or other persons who would
send such a case under such circum-
stances to New Mexico.
Then there was the case of the con.

LITTLE INTEREST IN
STATE POLITICS

Bismarck, y. D, April 29.-It is very
likely that the state publicity pamph-

1911, whereby the secretary Of state
publishes a hook containing cuts and
write-ups Of candidates for state off1c-
es, will GO by default this camraign.
All copy and material under the law is
to be in tho hands of the secretary of
state by MAY 3. in order to have the
book printed and distributed before the
primary election, but so far none of
the candidates has expressed a desire
to be included in this pamphlet and
most of them state they have no in
t~ention of having q write-up in the
state publication. The present apa-
thetic condition of the state caml'aign
is 8 surprising condition in North Da-
kota. In nc part Of b state so far
have the candidates been able to
any interest. Attorney General

and states that he has heard politics

DAIRY EXCURSION
IS BEARING FRUIT

williston, n. D., April 2s.-About
1900 head of dairy cattle are owned
by farmers of the district adjacent to
Williston. over one-third of the cattle
have been shipped to this district since
the recent excursion was MADE by
farmers, to Minnesota and Wisconsin,
where they studied dairying methods.
The last shipment was made the past
week, consisting Of 200 head of Short
horn grades, bought in Faribault conn-
ty, MINI.
The dairy excursion was made for
the purpose of creating interest in
raising dairying cattle. That the object
sought has been attained Ia evident
from the large number Of cattle that
are being brought here.
In connection with the general dairy
movement. the plan of establishing a
creamery is being considered. The
census of dairy cattle, was taken in
connection with the proposal.
Williams county banks are giving
the cattle movement every encourage
ment possible, several of them having
gone into the cattle business on the
cooperative basis. Cattle are purchas-
ed in southern Minnesota and in Wis
consin and are resold to the farmers
here at actual cost. Low interest rates
are charged on the notes that farmers,
in most instances. make to the
cost Of the cattle.
One representative of a silo COM
pany Of Fargo secured orders for
twenty-five silos here last week and
expects to add that many more. Con-
tracts are being let and the silos will
be constructed and ready to be filed
with corn ensilage by fall.
North Dakota will probably put in
at least 1000 new silos this year and
the indications are that Williams coun-
ty will have it's share. The old idea
of small grain farming is being aban-
doned for diversified crops. alfalfa and
livestock.
