PASSOVER
Pesach, or Passover, Begins on This
Evening, April H.

1t is the first festival of emancipa-
ton in the history of civilization. Its
commemoration is based on the Bib
lical narrative which tells how the
people of Israel enslaved in Egypt
were led from bondage to freedom by
the great leader Moses.
The Passover festival speaks for the
sanctity of the home as well as for
self-respect and liberty. The. Jews,
accordingly assemble in their homes
on this festival, and signalize it by a
solemn service in which the story of
is recounted with pious fervor. This
Seder, as it is called, is unique in
spirit and form. 1t is earnest and yet
happy, and its ritual, though archaic,
symbolizes the facts of human expert
ence in all conditions of life. The
roasted bone reminiscent of the pas
chal lamb of the first Passover; the
bitter herbs calling to mind the hard
labor of the Israelitish saves; the un-
leavened bread, known as the bread
of affliction,' symbolizing the hasty
departure from Egypt; the roasted egg
recalling the individual sacrifice which
was offered in the Temple; the mix
ture of grated apple, nuts and wine,
suggesting the clay from which bricks
were made by the enslaved people, and
the parsley and salt water, symbolic
of growth and the fertiizing freshness
of spring, invest the domestic Cere-
mony with real and forceful mean
ing. A beautiful and most suggestive
part of the service is the Open Door,
through which the messianic prophet
Elijah enters every home that night,
splendid expression of the great
ideal which the prophets of Israel an
nounced will become real some day
when men will cease to hate and be-
gin to do justice.

for the feast. Leaven is the symbol
of the sordid, and refers to those who

FARM WORK
|SSET BACK
THREE WEEKS
AS A RESULT OF FROST AND
FREEZE AT THE CLOSE OF LAST
WEEK-SUMM ISSUED BY
WEATHER DEPARTMENT.

Oklahoma City, Okla, April IL
| Damage to fruit and garden crops in
this state as a result of the frost and
freeze Of April and is described in
summary issued Wednesday by the
| Oklahoma City weather observatory.
Farm work, according to the report,
was held up during the entire week,
and the planting season set back from
one to three weeks; alfalfa and pota,
toes escaped serious damage, but corn
did not escape so easily. No reports Of
insects in wheat have been received.
The report in full follows:
The week was one of decidedly
unreasonable weather, it being
cold, with almost continuous cloudi-
ness and general and heavy precipta,
tions. Snow fell in the northwestern
counties on the 18th and Sth. Freezing
temperatures were general in the nor.
thern and western portions of the state
on the morning of the Sth, and killing
frost or a hard freeze over practically
the whole state on the morning of the
9th"
Farm work was suspended during
most of the week, it being too wet for
planting Vegetation made slow
growth and the season is one to three
weeks late, Fruit and gardens were
seriously damaged by the frost and
freeze. The extent of damage to fruit
cannot yet be determined, but it is
certain, peaches and plums will be
generally failure. Corn was dam
aged to some extent, the early plant
being nipped by the freeze and the
late planted failing to germinate on
account of cold and wet soil. Some re-
planting will be necessary, just how
much cannot yet be estimated. Afal-
ia was not seriously damaged. Pota-
toes also escaped serious injury.
Many fields of late planted winter
wheat have been plowed under, the
stand being poor. Wheat and oats
are in fair condition, but the acreage is
reduced as compared with last year.
The generous rains of the past week
will benefit these crops in the western
counties, where precipitation was gen
orally deficient during the winter and
early spring. But few reports of insect
pests in wheat have been received"

COMMITTEE APPOINTED BY THE
CITY COMMiS iSSlONERS WILL
MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO BE-
GIN THIS WEEK.

A committee consisting of John
Carlock, city engineer, George Rus
sell, building inspector, and Chief
Reeder of the fire department, was
recently appointed by the city com
missiOners to make arrangements for
numbering the houses of the city.
The committee will meet with j. A.
Kayser, who is in the city at present
compiling city directory, and close
contract with him to do the work.
They are scheduled to meet with Mr..
Kayser, today and Engineer Car
lock stated that he hoped to see the
work well under way by the latter
part of the week. He estimates that
at least one months time will be re-
quired to do the work.
The announcement of the commit
tee will be hailed with delight by the
citizens of the city. The promiscuous
numbering of houses, which has pre-
vailed in the past, has been the
source of great deal of confusion,
and this will put an end for all time
to such conditions.
Many houses in the city are prop
erly numbered at present but a ma
iorty of them are not. Engineer Car
lock stated that he hoped suftic-
lent number of men would be placed
on the work to expedite it.

We Apologize to Mr.. Roster.

While politics are past and gone and all has been reunited to
dwell no more on politics for two years, yet we wish at this time to
make a public apology to a gentleman who holds our highest respect
Ia well as the universal respect of the people of this county.
In making a "whIrl wind" finish last week " had intended to
write and publish a notice of our opinions of every candidate. We
summed up the candidates with the view of giving every ne that
had a hard fight special notice for the benefit of the voters, and
while three of the county candidates did not have opponents, we at
least expected to draw your attention to them, but rs the human be-
ing never has been born that does not make mistakes, and the less
failed to include the gentleman before mentioned and hereinafter
named.
We want to say now and here that this wa what is commonly
termed a "bonehead" blunder The prosecuting attorneys Office is
men, yet without injustice to the men who have filed that honorable
position, that Mr.. RosIer, the present attorney, has been n of the
most efficient that this county has ever had. We not only believe
that he is thoroughly iii earnest, but that he is n of the most cou-
sclentious men we have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. He
has conducted IN exceptional line of prosecution aud made many
CONVICTIONS, cleaning up the county of many criminals.
While this is a very late date TO undo the possible feeling that
we sighted that gentleman, yet W e take this opportunity to offer
Mr. Roster our sincere apology. The people of this county 81 thor
oughhy believe in Mr.. Roster that he has had no opposition from any
party in the campaign just past, and that is saying a great deal for a
mn in this large county, An excellent, honorable, efficient thor
ough man like Nh. Roster is not only appreciated by lis but by all
who know him aud we venture that n trust will be placed N his
shoulders that he will not carry with honor.
