of cigarette tobacco of the prestige
and advantage these pur-
Chases give US in securing the choicest
leaf from the tobacco fields of the world.
Chesterfelds are an achievement.

You have been reading here some
rather unusual, almost daring, state

had not been observing their behavior

that they make good with smokers, we
could not afford to make these state
ments to you over our signature.
But these statements, strong as they
are, can mean little or nothing to you
until you have actually smoked your

HAMES CALENDAR ADDS
/ MONTH TO EACH YEAR
NATIONS EXPECTED TO APPROVE OF INNOVATION THAT
CHANGES EASTER AND MIKES

Just before the breaking out of the
European war there was a concerted
movement among the great nations
for the holding of an international
congress to revise the calendar. and
it is regarded as certain that as soon
as the war Is over along with the
revision Of geographical lines will
come revised system Of days into
months and months into years.
There are many objections to the
present plan OF some months contain
ing 80 days, others 81 days, and one
fluctuating. There have been many
propositions, some Of them taking into
account political and astronomical re-
Quirements, but none until this year
taking also into account ecclesiastical
affairs. So all have failed, but one
that is now proposed meets with
marked favor because 1t conforms to
the needs OF all three of these require
ments. The man to bring forward the
new plan Is an Episcopal clergyman,
the Rev. H. P. Hames. He is English
by birth, but was educated in America
and has spent his life here. He is a
missionary in the state of Washing
ton, but until recently held an import
ant place in one OF the big Episcopal
parishes of New York.
The proposal Of the Hames calen'
dar is that the year consist hereafter
of 13 months, and that each month
shall have in 1t % days, no more and
no less. Every week and month starts
with Sunday, and every holiday
comes either on a Monday, so every
body may have Saturday half-holiday
Sunday and the holiday together, OF
else falls on Wednesday, so there will
be working days between it and Sun
day.
The mutilation of February is cor
rected, and 1t need not bother anybody
to remember If other months have 81
or 81 days.
Thirteen months of % days eacl
leaves one day year out Of the cal
culation and on every fourth yea
: there are two days to be disposed OF
. The Hames proposal is that ever.
, year there shall be one day, falling be
tween the last day of December ant
the first day of January.
/ 1t shall not be counted at all, ant
1t is to be holiday.
Then every fourth year 1t is pro
posed TO have one etra day, a holida,
and not counted, falling in the YER
middle of the odd or half-year month
1t is determined in the Hames plaI
that the new month shall fall betwee
June and July. No name is advance
for 1t by Mr. Hames.
= The foregoing considerations cove
n the political and astronomical require
: ments. Mr.. Hames proposes that tn
s ancient method of fixing upon Easte
e day shall be abolished, and that a
l. the world shall agree that Easter ia
+ upon April %. This date will alway
l. be Sunday. Few people realize wht
j. tremendous differences occur In trad
and also in Christian plans, whe
Elko independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 1915-current, 1916-02-29

Easter falls very early in March, or
very late in April. This coming East
er will be- very late indeed. This late
date Is less to be regretted than a
very early one, and yet the shifting Of
the date, based, as now, upon cycles
OF the moon. occasions no end OF
trouble and often of loss.
In states that kept New Years as a
holiday the laws would probably be
changed, because II the new calendar
were to be adopted there would be a
holiday Immediately before 1t.
Washington's birthday would always
fall on Sunday, and provision might
have to be made by law and a holiday
near it. Perhaps Lincoln's birthday
might answer, and 1t would always fall
on Thursday.
Good Friday would always come on
April 90 Decoration day, May 80,
would be lost altogether and a new
day would have to be fixed upon, prob
ably June 2, which would always be a
Monday. The Fourth of July would
fall always on Wednesday, and so
would Christmas day Labor day
would always come September 2, and
Thanksgiving day would always fall
on November 26. If Thursday were to
lie retained as now.
There Is a drawback to a few peo
pie about their ANNIVERSARIES. People
whose anniversaries fall on the 29th
30th or 31st of any months, and the
few whose observance falls on Feb. 20
will be compelled to fix upon some
other day, or, II they wish to be quite
exact in computation Of time, they car
take the 1st, and or 3rd of the sue
ceeding month.
There are said to be In the Hamei
proposals very few drawbacks ant
many advantages.

Twenty-Eight Tonopah Residents

gage, expecting TO land and change
from civilian garments to the uniform
of their king. There was gay banter
