Lent Begins Today.

Lent begins today, week earlier
than last year, being Of course bas-
ed upon the date of Easter which is
March 31st this year, as being April
8 in 1917. Very few people can tell
why Lent varies from year to year
and Easter may come as early as
march 22 or as late as April 20.
1t is something OF an anamoly from
the religious point of view that the
anniversary of Christ's death may
fall on any of the 35 days. while the
anniversary OF his birth is always
on the same. 1t is no less of an an
.amoly from the astronomical point
of view, for there seems no reason
why we. having adopted the solar
year as the basis of our calender,
should cling to the lunar year mere
ly for the establishment Of one date,

LET THE WHOLE
NATION SING
All Citizens of Our Country on
Feb. % Should Sing Four Verses
OF "My Country "Tis of Thee"
National Song Week.
DEBORAH SCHOOLS WILL
HAVE PATRIOTIC DAY
Let Us All Go Over the Top With
the Rush of FervOr While We
Sing Our National Hymns

Because the week of February II
to % is the National Week of Song,
and because February % is the
birthday of The Father of Our
Country" it is proposed that on the
evening OF the 22nd, at o'clock, all
the citizens of our country whether
assembled in CLUBS, schoois, churches,
restaurants, theaters, lodges, or in
any other places even in their homes,
they rise and sing four verses of
My Country 'Tis of Thee"
AS the hour set is that at which
most meetings begin, the singing will
in no way interfere with the pro-
grams.
AS to the song, while it is true that
the music OF it has been used by at
least three nations as that of their
national hymn, it is also true that
there is no other American hymn
that so truly expresses the sentiment
of every true citizen of our beloved
country. Because this is true and be-
cause every time this grand old hymn
is sung, the flame of true patriotism
is famed to more intense heat, and
| further because the words of the las
verse should be the prayer of every
loyal heart it is hoped that the fore
going suggestion be followed by all,
and that grand chorus of millions
Of voices be raised in praise and
prayer on the evening of February
22nd.
In spite of the objections made to
the use of this tune, it has really
become our most used and most sig
nificant national hymn.
The beauty and simplicity of the
melody and text of America" when
thoroughly felt will do more to make
loyal lAmericaIsthanallthe patriotic
preachments in the world, for it
makes us feel that this is our coun-
try, the land of the free, liberty, a
libel.ty 1Dr which thousands upon
thousands have sacrificed, bled and
died, a liberty for which other thous-
ands may die rather than that it be
wiped from the face of the earth.
So on February % let us all be
soldiers of song spirit, so that when
the order comes for the soag to be
sung, let us all go over the top with
q rush of ferver while we sing our
national hymns and other songs.
Don't forget. Remember the COM
mand. Be present, be on time, and
sing as you never sung before.
The Decorah Public Schools and
the Immaculate Conception Academy
will have a patriotic day program
during the Week of Song. All our
National hymns will be sung.

Home from Arkansas

F. w. P. Baker arrived in Decorah
Monday afternoon from Plainview,
Arkansas, rs miles west OF Little
Rock, where he spent nearly four
years operating a poultry and fruit
farm Of 20 acres. His farm is on
top of a mountain 500 feet above the
level F. w. P. has lived alone all
these four years caring for his poul-
try and fruit, besides fighting on
panthers, wolves, wild cats, etc. He
has had some real exciting times,
and a few of them was going through
"a cyclone, hurricane, severe forest
fires, attacked by a lunatic, had his
house bombarded, and last, but not
least, was attacked by a panther.
That experience was enough to cause
most any fellow to turn his toes up
to the daisies. but Frank came
through it all right side up with
care. But the straw that broke the
camels back occurred three weeks
ago Monday, when his house burned
down, consuming all the contents,
including fine library. A couple of
chairs and a table was saved and
these he gave to the Red Cross in
Plai1view. Mr. Baker expects to re-
main in Decorah for time at least,
