The orlaln Of Easter.

The origin of Easter as a spring
festival is shrouded in the haze Of
the awakening of the earth from
the sleep of winter as worshipped
with pagan rites long before the
primitive missionaries of the
Christian church separated to es.
tablish their new religion through
out the world, as it was then
known. Coincident with the date
of this celebration was the Paschal
feast of the Jews, SO that all peo
Piles and creeds recognized the oc-
casion. Before the time OF the
Puritans in England and Calvin in
Europe Two great influences legu-
lating the religious thought of the
times the celebration of Easter
had become an unlicensed carnival
to which the people yielded them
selves as a reaction after the
preaching and example and element
of austerity of Lent, but through
their dignity was restored to the
annual festival, and in this spirit
it has been continued to the present
day.
In all countries is this celebration
observed, and in none more so than
in Russia, where the Greek church
prevails. Social and religious
events in that country are marked
by rejoicing. and the meetings OF
the people in the street-whether
Gear or Moujik-are signalized by
a kiss and a greeting, ''Christ is
risen!" Particularly at Rome,
Paris, Berlin, Jerusalem, st. Peters
burg, and Mexico is the festival
celebrated with pomp and cere-
mony, but in all cities and places
does the Easter festival demand
the full glory of the Spring the
loveliest flowers, most snmptnous
music, gorgeous sacerdotal vest
ments and the smiles and grace and
joy of women and children in
beautiful attire.

LoNG-RANGE FORECASTS.
Chief of Weather Bureau Warn.
Public Against Fallacious Fore
casting Systems.

The chief of the United Stata,
Weather Bureau stated recently that
in the opinion of the bureau a new
system Of long-range weather fore
casting, which has been widely dis
cussed recently, was quite fallacious.
The new system Is said to be based
on the spottedness of the sun and
riffs and shafts of solar radiation.
In the opinion of the Weather
Bureau it belongs in the same class
with other methods of long-range
weather forecasting based on lunar,
planetary. magnetic, and astrologi-
cal considerations. None Of these
systems, 1t is said. has any scientific
value.
During the past few years the
Weather Bureau has received full
specifications concerning all the
essential details Of this particular
system. The alleged discovery is,
therefore, fully known to the
Weather Bureau. and has been care
fully studied and examined by its
scientific staff. Moreover, other
scientists Of international reputation
now connected with the strongest
institutions Of the world engaged
in astronomical research, and con-
Quoting Investigations into solar and
terrestrial physics, have also passed
upon these new theories. These
authorities are in accord that the
deductions and conclusions drawn
from the solar conditions on which
the new system is based are unwar-
ranted.
The alleged discovery is regarded
as only one of similar schemes
which are continually being put for
ward. In some cases the advocates
of these schemes assert that they
can forecast the weather for weeks
or months in advance, and in others
they state that they have found
means Of producing rainfall artifi-
cially,' Of preventing hail, and in
other ways of interfering with and
controlling atmospheric phenomena.
AOcO pACISu51Oub xuSSL VIII u C0T-
tain credence, because there are a
number Of people who still cling to
the belief in the influence Of the
moon on the growth and develop
ment of crops, and to the idea that
the weather conditions depend upon
planetary and astrological combin-
nations. In consequence the Wealth
er Bureau has been called upon from
time to time to caution the general
public against putting faith in these
so-called discoveries.
The Weather Bureau itself is the
authorized agency Of the Govern
ment to collect meteorological OBJ
servatiOns and make and issue
weather forecasts and warnings.
Every important nation Of the world
has a similar organization and all
use essentially the same methods.
All of these organizations condemn
and disprove the methods and
theories of those who assert that
they are able to predict the weather
for any considerable period in ad-
vance.

THE BILLINGS FARMERS MEETING

Carl H. Peterson returned Saturday
from Billings where he attended the
Montana Farmers federation during
successful meeting, well attended,
though not as large delegation as
was present in LewistoWn. A great
many resolutions were considered and
adopted, among them the Endorsement
Of the non-partisan league, with the
committee of Montana directors to
manage the campaign, who recon-
mended the use Of non-partisan pri-
mary ballot. They also recommended
that the educational advertising be
extended to all of the rural children
and that every endeavor be used to
increase the rural school facilities;
that the advertising of the high led
resolutions be extended to the people
of the state and that it was necessary
that the interest appropriation be
granted to develop these institutions.
They were also in favor of the state
owned terminal warehouse. The place
for the meeting Of 1917 was left to
the executive committee. The people
from Fergus county that attended the
federation meeting were B. c. White,

NEEDS OF STATE
INSTITU7 IONS
LEGlHLATURE WILL BE ASKED TO
APPROPRIATE LARGE AMOUNT
FOR MAINTENANCE.
Up TO STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION

HELENAfi Dec. 2..-Financial needs
of state institutions and amounts tha,
the legislature will be asked to ap
propriate for their maintenance and
improvement during the next two
years will almost wholly occupy the
time of the state board of education
that went into session this afternoon
at the capitol building and will close
some time tomorrow. University af-
fairs will be taken up Friday.
At this afternoons session Waller
Shope, superintendent of the state or.
phans' home at Twin Bridges; A. G..
Dorr, superintendent of the state in
dustrial school at Miles City, and H.
L. Menzimer, superintendent of the
school for the deaf and blind at
Boulder, appeared before the board
and explained the needs of the insti-
tutiOns under their charge.
The reports Of the heads Of the sew
eral institutions were referred to the
committees which will report later.
Chancellor e. G. Elliott and the
heads Of the four institutions compris-
ing the University Of Montana, will
appear before the board tomorrow and
their needs will be considered in de.
tail. New buildings and additional
equipment will be recommended by
DR.. Elliott for the university, the agri-
cultural college and the normal school.
The needs of the school of mines are
less pressing
DR.. Elliott will ask the board, it is
understood, for an appropriation for
the employment of architects to pre-
pare plans for buildings for the next
10 years. Then the structures will be
erected as needed, but when the plan
is finally carried out, the buildings
will be harmonious as to form, style
and location.

COURT NEWS

Rollin J. Munroe, found guilty few
days ago of grand larceny in stealing
a team of horses belonging to Mr..
Brougher, was Saturday sentenced
by Judge Roy e. Ayers to from one
to five years in the penitentiary
William Hukill, who pleaded guilty
several days ago to burglary in break
ing into pool hall at Denton and
stealing money and punch board jew
elry, was sentenced to from fifteen
to sixteen months. Hukill was the
states principal witness against j. V.
Gallagher, jointly charged with him
with the crime, but Gallagher was
acquitted.
Divorce Granted.
Bertha Trans was granted a divorce
from Bert Trans, desertion being
proved The parties were married at
Black Creek, Wis, in 1908.
The Fink Case,
The trial of Louis Fink, charged
with burglary at the Armells post
office and store, kept by W. X. Matth
ews, was concluded Saturday after
noon, County Attorney Wright prose
cutting while Edgar J. Baker represent
ed the defense by appointment. This
was Mr.. Bakers first case and he went
into it by appointment from the court.
1t was about as difficult case as a
young lawyer is likely to bump up
against, the testimony for the state
being very strong, Mr.. Matthews posi-
lively identifying the defendant as the
person who held him up. Fink, who is
only eighteen years OF age, a brother
of John Fink, recently convicted here
of murder, was the sole witness for
the defense. County Attorney Wright
presented the case ably and the argu-
ment to the jury by Mr.. Baker was
an exceedingly creditable effort. lie
drew from the testimony every thing
that could favor his theory and at
the close of his argument received
many compliments for his really splen
did effort.
After having been out several hours
the jury returned a verdict finding
the defendant guilty OF burglary in
the second degree. Judge Ayers sen
fenced him to three years and ten
months in the pen, but it is intended
to make an effort to have the youth
sent to the reform school.

AGR|CUL. TURAl
INTERESTS Bis
MONTANA FARMERS WILL HAVE
THEIR INNING AT COMING
SESSION OF LEGISLATURE.
CONSUMER TO HAVE SHOWING ALSO

HELENA, Dec 22.-Agricultural in
terests in Montana are to have their
innings before the coming session of
the Montana legislature which meets
here for two months session on
Jan. 3. Measurers dealing chiefly
with matters of interest to.the farmer
are in preparation for introduction.
Legislation probably will have to be
of a joint and compromise kind be-
cause of the fact that the senate is
republican by a majority of 16 votes.
The house, on the other hand, is DEM
ocratic by small majority of three
votes. It is believed that the session,
therefore, will furnish considerable ex-
element
The consumer also is to have a
showing, bills intending to reduce the
high cost of food prices, being among
those to be introduced. Nearly all of
the measures dealing with railroad
and flour mill regulation are legisla-
tion in this direction. These, with
grain inspection measures for the ben
eft of the farmer, land loans and tax
alton will occupy a leading place on
the legislative program.
There has been talk of an attempt
to put through law granting county
option on prohibition, to modify the
prohibition law, but it is believed un-
likely that such an attempt will be
made. Leading attorneys hold that
such legislation would be basically un-
constitutional since the prohibition
law was established by initiative.
The car shortage and the advancing
commodity prices are to form the sub
ject of legislation Another attempt
to tax mines probably will be made.
An effort to pass a six-day racing bill,
with pari-mutuel betting privilege,
likely will be made. There are to be
measures of interest solely to women
since there will be two feminine mem
bers of the house.
