the money cannot be raised nor

EASTER AND THE PASSOVER
That They Do Not Always Correspond
Is Due to Variations in the
Jewish Calendar.

Since the events of Holy week and
the resurrection took place during the
Jewish passover it seems strange that
the celebration in.the SynagOgues and
in Christian churches should not al
ways be at the same time. They are
often week apart. The explanation
is that the Jewish calendar, which
dates from the creation of the world.
is regulated by the rabbits. Their sys-
TEN is based on the lunar month, which
is often nearly two days shorter than
the month of the Christian calendar
Corrections are made, but instead of
a day such as is in the leap year, an
entire month is added, so that some
Jewish years consist of 13 months As
Easter always falls on the first Sun
day following the full moon next after
March 81, this additional month in
certain years causes a variation be-
tween the Passover and the Christian
festival.

Yield Oil and Turpentine.

Various conifers, the pinus pinaster
in France, the Scotch pine, the swamp
pine, the loblOlly, the lOng-leaved
pine, southern yellow pine and Georgia
pine are sources of oil of turpentine
and resin. Oil of turpentine has some
vogue as a counter-irritant in various
liniments and externally and locally
in abdominal distension in typhoid
fever and abdominal operations. Resin
enters into the composition of resin
cereate, and is the basis for some plas-
tiers. A derivative of turpentine is ter
pin hydrate. drug OF great popularity
and considerable value in coughs and
colds.

Now that the citizens of Hays have
gotten started, it is hoped that they
will continue to attend these Com
missioners meetings, to which the
public are always invited, and thus
promote a better understanding be-
tween the city officials and the pub
lie.
Among other business transacted,
John Troth was appointed city mar
shall, which to the majority of those
present and the city at large, was a
very satisfactory appointment. John
was Marshal several years ago. He
made some enemies, but any officer,
if he does his duty, is bound to step
on some ones toes and thereby incur
their enmity. John will do his duty
as he sees it regardless of who makes
a kick, and that is the kind of an of
ficer that every city needs.
A bigger and better Hays was pre-
dicted by Manager Manning. He
visions building boom, a water,
light and sewer extension and more
street paving in the very near future.
The city should make preparations, in
a financial way, to meet the greater
expense when it comes.

The Commissioners. and Public Meet


At a special meeting of the Com
nissioners of the City of Hays as
prescribed by law, held at the City
Hall, Tuesday night, August 18th. the
City Managers report for the month
of July was read and thoroughly ex-
planned. The matter of the budget
for the ensuing year was then taken
up. Mr.. Manning explaining that the
budget for the year 1888 failed to
provide funds amounting to about
$4,000 to cover the city's portion of
money due for bonds and interest on
bonds for pavement. and also lacked
$4,000 of having enough in the in
terest fund to meet the interest on
the floating indebtedness and that a
large portion of the funds provided
in the general fund was used<in tax
ing care of the deficit of $500 in the
Light and Water department.
Mr.. Manning presented a table
showing the rate of assessment for
the different funds for the past year
and also the proposed levy for the
year 1920.
There was an interesting number of
citizens present at the meeting and
showed their interest in what was be-
ing done by the numerous questions
they asked. The budget as prepared
by the Commissioners and the City
Manager was approved by an almost
unanimous vote of the citizens pres
ent. The budget follows:
