JEWISH NEW YEAR.
Sept. % Marks Beginning OF 5,G77 in
Hebrew Calendar.

On Wednesday evening, Sept. q, the
Jewish people will celebrate their New
Years eve, and the following day will
be the beginning Of the year 5,677, ac-
cording to the Hebrew calendar
Preparations are now being made by
local Jews to celebrate the holy sea-
son, which begins on Sept. 27, the New
Years day being called Rosh Has
hanahy and ending on Oct. 10, with
| Schemini Atzereth, the feast Of con-
clusion. Special services will be held
at the Miller Hall during the holy sea-
son.
In the reform synagogue Rosh Has
hanah is celebrated from sunset Of
Sept. "a to sunset of Sept. 2S, while
among orthodox Jews the holiday
does not end until the sunset of Sept
! 20.
In the Jewish tradition, the Rosh
Hashenah marks the anniversary of
the creation of the world, supposed to
have taken place 5,676 years ago. II
is one of the holiest days in the jewish
calendar. II radically differs from the
civil New Year in that il is a day set
apart for introspection and self-exam-
ination. The sacred character OF this
day is implied in the two other names
by which Il is known, viz, the day of
memorial and the day OF the blowing
OF the trumpets. In the first place, IL
/ is the day OF memorial or remem-
brance. AS such, IL calls upon the Jew
to remember the divine purpose Of his
life. Secondly, It is the day of the
blowing of the trumpets. It's purpose
is to rouse Israel from this self-com-
placency and stir him to high resolves
and nobler deeds.
The Rosh Hashanah derives its sig
nifcance from the fact that II Is but
the introduction TO the day OF atone
ment, which follows ten days later.
Before one can realize the need of
atonement, according to the Jewish
teachings, II is necessary that he be-
come conscious Of his shortcomings;
for so long as one imagines himself
whole, II may never occur that ply
stefan is needed. Hence, to make the
atonement possible, IL is taught, one
must have Rosh Hashanah, which is
also designated as the Yom Hadin-
the day OF iudgment-the day whereon
all weigh themselves in the balances,
and. perforce, find themselves wanting.
The essential ceremony OF the sery-
ices in the synagogue Of Rosh Has
lhanah "a the blowing Of the trumpet,
7 IN accordance with the injunction in
Leviticus xiii "a, which reads; In
the oventh month, on the first day Of
the month. shall ye have a Sabbath. q
memorial OF blowing or trumpets, and
holy con-Dcauon .

CONSERVATION OF GAME

The next legislature will be urged
to adopt a bill empowering the state
game commission TO regulate the
power might be safely placed in the
hands Of the present commissioner
and that II would be used wisely. AS
the game commission is a political
institution there is no guarantee that
game seasons, under the plea that
the commission is better qualified to
do this I'm the interests Of game con-
servation, than the legislature is
designating fixed periods of time for
the open seasons, regardless OF con-
servation. Such a law would give the
commission arbitrary powers. dan
gerous in any body Whether such
power would be used wisely or not
depends upon the men who compose
the commission. We believe that such
competent men, familiar with game
conditions will always be on the
board Upper Peninsula people should
look carefully into such an act before
Il becomes a law. Most of the game
i'm the state Is to be found on the
Upper Peninsula and Il has become
notorious that Lower Peninsula
game hogs have been largely res
ponsible for the depletion of our
northern game Might IL not come to
pass that at some future time the
game commission might manipulate
the power given II for the benefit OF
the game hogs OF Lower Michigan
Now a word as TO the conservation OF
game The proposed change is being
urged. Il is said because It will tend
TO conserve game. The conservation
OF game does not lie in the power to
designate an open or a closed season,
particularly, but IL lies wholly In the
restrictions imposed. If game Is di-
minishing, or certain species being
exterminated, il Is because OF useless
and wantbn slaughter permitted by
too long open seasons and In permit

Conditions in the iron and steel

are operating to full capacity upon
bookings covering several months
ahead.
Steel prices have stiffened up slight

being paid to a greater extent for
prompt delivery. An advance OF SO a

sold there during the past week. De-
troit and Pittsburgh interests also re-

Ferro Costs Loss.

Ferro-manganese Is now quoted at

The placing OF large additional or

market from England and France for
materials that will run up into the
millions OF dollars and the arranging

way of the business being placed, &C

Wire Products In Demand.
Wire products are in strong demand
at the Eastern plants. The Italian
government is said to be figuring on
large quantity of barb wire. but diff
ficulty Is being found in placing the
order as all the mills are booked up
until the end of the year. The Russian
government has specifications before
Pittsburgh mills covering $4,000 tons
OF barb wire upon an order placed
some time ago.
While building projects throughout
the country are generally of small di-
mensions, they are numerous, and Il is
claimed that the mills are filled up
with that business TO greater extent
than in years
The rail mills are also experiencing
more activity at present than in some
time back. orders from American rail-
roads are increasing and more export
trade is being booked. British rail-
roads have inquiries out with mills I'm
this country for 100000 tons OF rails
and France has Just bought an addi-
tional tonnage.
