ON VARIOUS DATES
Anniversary Of the Death and
Resurrection of Christ
Never Fixed.

r. is something Of an anomaly from
! the religious point of view that the
anniversary of Christ's death may fall
on any one Of thirty.five days, while
the anniversary of his birth is always
on the same. 1t is no less of an anon.
ally from the astronomical stand.
point, for there seems no reason why
we. having adopted the solar year as
the basis of our calendar, should cling
to the lunar year merely for the es.
Enlistment of one date.
1t is a mystery why. when the date
Of Christ's birth was fixed on Decem.
Der 25. some dates in April were not
at the same time settled upon as those
Of his death and resurrection. That
would have been logical and would
have banished from the calendar a
lunar cycle that has long been aban-
doned by all civilized peoples.
1t should not be difficult to fix the
rational date for Easter. II Christ was
crucified on the 18th day of the March
moon astronomers ought to be able to
calculate on what date this fell. They
say that in all probability it fell on
April z of the year 30 of the Christian
era. Why. then, not fix Easter once
and for all as the first Sunday after
April z?
1t is to the Council Of Nicea that we
owe the perpetuation of our anachro-
nistic method Of reckoning Easter. This
council decreed that it should be the
first Sunday after the first full moon
that occurs after the vernal equinox,
March 81. Pope Gregory XIII under
took at that time to reform the Julian
calendar. which had been in use ever
since julius Caesar, in 46 B. c., had
prescribed that a year should consist
of 1865 days. every fourth year having
366. This Julian calendar was re-
form of still more ancient system
based upon the motions of the moon,
which system varied widely in differ
ent lands. In Rome it had originated
with Romulus. who established year
OF ten months. having alternately 81
and 30 days, making 304 days in all.
Numa Pompilius added the months of
February and January. and in the
year 452 B. c., the Decemvirs placed
them where they now stand.
When Pope Gregory undertook to
reform the Julian calendar, that had
by that time become incorrect by
about ten days, the revolution of the
earth around the sun was not yet fully
understood, SO instead of making a
change that would be thoroughly sci.
entific. the present form Of year was
adopted. the Julian calendar being
modified by calling October S, 1882,
October Is, and by making all ter.
minal years of centuries, 1900. 1900.
1900, ETC.. common years Of 365 days.

"oon't Mix Dvrum Wheat"

Bismarck.-"Don't mix your durum
wheat with other Breeds" is a warn
ing note sounded to the farmers by
State Dairy Commissioner R. H. Flina.
The commissioner quotes letter from
Minneapolis grain buyer. who de-
csares farmers are heavy losers
through the plan of mixing grains, be.
cause by so doing they rob themselves
of the premium paid for pure durum.
The greatest fault in Connection with
the mixing of durum comes from care.

Splendor of the Resurrection Be.
longs to Each One Who
Believes.

WHEN anyone is reading a book
W what he is most anxious to
know is: Does it end happily?" We
dislike to read a book which leaves us
Ia gloom. There are two happy end
ings to the two great narratives of
the New Testament. The first mar
iatiye is the life of Jesus himself.
The second narrative is the life of his
church. The story of Jesus life on
earth would be immeasurably sad IL it
left him on the cross. That would in
deed be the worlds most rayless trag-
edy. Those hands so busy in useful
toll and in kindly service, nailed to the
rough cross; those feet which had
sought out sorrow in order that relief
and comfort might be brought. also
pierced and torn; the eyes which had
booked forth with infinite tenderness
and pity upon the sorrows of men and
women and little children and which
had revealed undreamed-of depths of
sympathy, closed in death; the brow
ON which the light of heaven had
shone. dark with the shadows OF
death, covered with dust and with
blood from the crown Of thorns; the
ieart that had throbbed with love for
tie sad and the needy and oppressed,
I ierced with the Roman soldiers
spear. That would have been an end
ing too grievous to endure. But the
story does not end that way. There are
90 tears in its ending. The Savior
met his weeping friend Mary of Mag
dala in the garden with the comfort
ing words: why weepest thou?"
Since he is risen there is no longer
any reason for despair and grief He
spent those days before his ascension
In bringing to his friends assurance of
peace and Joy. And he went back to
heaven promising that he himself in
actual spiritual presence would be
with them always, even to the end of
the age.
The happy ending in Revelation is
but another part of this same happy
ending Of the Gospels. All Christ's fol-
lowers are to share in the joy and
splendor Of his resurrection. We are
to come to him with songs and ever
lasting Joy upon our heads. May our
faith in him, our love for him, our
allegiance to him be so strong and
bright this year that of all the Eas-
iers it shall be the gladdest we have
ever known.-Christian Herald.

MR.. TAFT, SIT DOWN!

Boone News-Republican: We read
in the current literature of the day
that William Howard Taft, once
President of the United States, is
laying down the law as to what the
republicans must do in the coming
year of convention. Mr.. Taft had
his chance in 1912 and proved how
popular he was in running the re-
publican party by carrying, as we
remember Vermont and Utah. Under
the circumstances it will not be in
cumbent on members of the party to
pay much heed to Mr.. Taft's words
of wisdom. In fact they can safely
brush him aside and take the course
which seems best to them, especially
as Mr.. Taft seems to wish to demand
an apology from every erstwhile pro-
gressive before he can return to the
republican fold. We hope Mr.. Taft
will keep quiet. If he does not he is
apt to be everlastingly snubbed by
republicans who have the welfare of
the party at heart and who can COM
mand more support than is repre-
scented by the states of Vermont and
Utah.

If any of the mad men of Europe
should challenge us, our nation
would be justified in saying, "No, We
will not fight with you; we have
100, 100000 people to guard, we
have countless ideals to preserve
and we will not wallow in the mud
of war with you. William J. Bry-
all.
Wonder if Mr.. Bryan is so child
like as to believe a speech Of that
kind by Uncle Sam would keep the
mad men of Europe" from attack
ing this country? If he does he
hardly grasps the real situation.
The only thing that will insure
peace with all Europe and the world
is for the United States to be in po-
sition to take care of itself. War is
10 pink tea affair and if any country
is looking with jealousy and perhaps
with covetousness upon the wealth
and prosperity of the United States,
sooner or later test of strength
may come if we are in no position to
make the test. Germany, France,
Russia and Great Britain are no bet
ter than pirates when it comes to
selling territory. Look at what they
did in China. Look at what they did
IN Africa. No further evidence is
necessary. All that can keep them
from repeating like performances in
America is the fear of each other and
the further fear that they could not
get away with the loot.

A jury in a district court at Des
Moines a few days ago awarded Guy
O. Daggy $5,745 damages because OF
the death of his wife from an auto
mobile accident. According to the
evidence Mr.. Daggy was driving
near Ankeny in company with his
wife when an automobile driven by
Ira Miller struck their buggy, over
turned it and another automobile
driven by Roy Wagner ran over her
killing her. The evidence showed
that Miller and Wagner were racing
at the time. The jury did a good
job in sticking them, but why
wouldn't it be proper to give them a
term in the penitentiary?
Iowa money is doing a lot in the
way Of improvement all over the
country. Millions of dollars go out
of Iowa every year for investments
elsewhere. If all this wealth were
kept at home Iowa would soon be
the richest state in the union, re-
gardless of the larger population Of
such states as New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio and Illinois. Iowa money
is building roads in California and
redeeming millions of acres there,
in Colorado and other states through
irrigation projects. Iowa money is
improving the everglades of Flori-
da and it is making the towns of
Florida, Texas, California and else
where prosper as winter resorts. Ev-
en- Iowa money is going back to old
New England and making some Of
the abandoned farms become pro-
ductive. Iowa money has also done
much in Louisiana, Montana, Wash
ington and other states. No other
state in the union could prosper as
Iowa has prospered with such
drain constantly upon it's resources.
Nine times out of ten the investor
would have been ahead had he in
vested in Iowa rather than in some
other state.
