REFUSES LEAGUE OFFER

When Joy Kistler was handed a con-
tract by Manager Hendrix, in which he
agreed to play with the st. Louis Car
dinals, he refused to sign. 1t was not
all he wanted.
The offer was made after Kistler
had been worked out by baseball ex-
perts on the Cardinal field in St. Louis.
She MeMillan-C Central star made an
excellent showing, it is said, and it
did not take the manager long to make
him an offer; but Joy has a better job
travelling in the interest of Howard
Payne College. He is under draft age,
and viii probably return to school next

The main purpose Of this was to en-
list the high school boys in the cities
for farm work. Those who enrolled
were given a card and a button. After
the completion of SO days work, they
are entitled to an achievement button
which will be delivered to them before
school begins. It was for all boys be-
tween the ages of 16 and 81. Those
who worked on their fathers farms
were just as much entitled to enroll
and receive the buttons of enrolment
and achievement as those who hired
out.
Many did not understand this and
did not enroll. If they wish, they may
do so yet, I want every boy in the
county between the ages Of 16 and 81
to get the achievement button, for l
am quite sure that everyone Of them
is helping Uncle Sam to win the war
just as much so far as he is able as
his big brother in the trenches.
/ wish to thank all who helped Au-
drain to make her quota in this mat
ter. l do not know whether we did OF
not. The total so far reported is LOG.
Of course, it should have been several

able to do better next year. But the
main thing was to get the boys to help
in war production. That has been ae-
complished.

Of war, need not be disturbed In
~ the celebrating Of holy week, md
so will continue to be first among
the nations hOn0ring Christ In realistic
ceremonial. The little town of FOn-
tarabia, stones throw from French
soil, Is almost as old as the present
government of Spain. Religion and
war have been the greatest forces In
Its ancient streets, and Il fortress with
many battles to Its credit yet guards
the quiet people whose greatest time
Of the year is that which is close upon
Easter Sunday.
Professions are the chief feature,
and the images Of Christ and the
saints, which figure in these process
sions, are the treasures Of the small
city. The gay city Of Seville has the
most gorgeous celebration Of Easter
perhaps In the world. In the matter of
symbolic ceremonies In the streets.
and as the most beloved city Of the
Spaniards Its practices have had
wonderful influence over the little
towns, so many Of which nestle against
the mountains or sun themselves along
the sea.
Rome PetrOgrad and Venice have
caught the ear Of the world with the
music of their services during the
week Of the Passion. but In the com
bined gravity and colorful symbolism
with which the little towns OF the
Spanish peninsula 90 about observing
Easter there is no superseding. The
Images Of st. Anne. the mother Of the
Virgin; Of Mary Magdalene and the
Savior are the most popular and the
most revered, and those which are
most adored In the procession. The
figure Of the Christ In Fontarabia Is
very old.

ut Easter time Is fully as ancient a
custom and is more familiar. It is
now spoken Of as purely Slavic
feature. In the houses Of the prosper
Gus, before the war, the tables fairly
groaned with viands for the Easter
dinner that followed close upon many
days Of very abstemious fasting. Be
fore the meal was prepared In any
household, great or small, the food was
brought In baskets to the churches,
where priests sprlnkled II with holy
water and gave II their blessing. A
lamb cooked whole formed the center
piece of the table as much as q goose
In Germany or turkey In the United
States at Christmas dinner.

WATCH FLIGHT OF
DOVE AT EASTER
Florentines Have an Odd Custom
Which Is Sid to Commence
rate the Deeds Of Knight in
the Days Of the Crusades.

A CURIOUS custom prevails In
N Florence at Easter In the flight
n OF the Dove. Its origin Is oh.
scure, but the Rev. =. Barring
Gould. who has well described II In
his an TrOubadour Land" says that
1t Is alleged by some to commemorate
the deeds of Florentine knight. who.
in the crusade led by Godfrey de
Boulllon, was the first to climb the
walls of Jerusalem and set upon them
the banner Of the Cross. This knight
then sent back the news Of the re-
covery Of the Holy Sepulcher TO Flor
ence by a carrier pigeon, and so 1t was
the first city in Europe to hear the
good tidings.
The CAIRO. huge black structure
on wheels, Is garlanded with flowers
and covered with fireworks. II Is
drawn into the Cathedral square by
white oxen. also decked out with flow
crs. Then the following ceremony
takes place. A rope is extended from
the caro- to a pole which Is set up In
the choir of the Duomo. before the
high altar, right up the whole length
of the nave. Upon the rope, close to
the pole, Is perched white plaster
dove. At the stroke Of twelve. while
the Easter eve Mass Is In progress, "a
match is applied to fusee, and in
stantly the white dove flies along the
rope. pouring forth n tail of fire, down
the nave, out ut the west gate over
the heads Of the crowd, reaches the
caro-, ignites n fusee there. turns. and.

ers attached TO the caro-. and the
whole mass OF painted wood and flow
ers is enveloped In fire and smoke,
from which issue sheets Of flame and
loud detOnatiOns. Meanwhile Mass Is
being sung composedly within the
choir as though nothing were happen
Ing without. The fireworks continue
to explode for about a quarter Of an
hour, and then the great garlanded
oxen, white, with huge horns, are re-
yoked to the caro-. and II Is drawn
away"
The flight Of the dove Is watched
with keen attention and interest by
the peasants. for from It's style Of
flight they augur variety Of future
happenings. Thus, II the bird sails
along easily without Jerks they say
the summer will he fine: while II II
goes slugglshly. and makes frequent
