RUSSIA LAND OF HOLIDAYS
Almost lnnumerabIe Occasions When
All Work Is Suspended and Time
Spent In Pleasure.

Russian people observe vigorously
all religious holidays-five at Christ
mas, ten at Easter. three at Carnival,
and almost every week one extra day,
when an anniversary of some saint is
celebrated. On these days everything
is closed, and nobody works. The six
weeks of fasting preceding Easter are
strictly observed by everybody, and the
more deyout do not even eat eggs or
drink milk, and do not use sugar, be-
cause 1t Is refined with blood. The
last three days of Holy week are still
more respected, for no food at all is
consumed. For Easter Sunday, very
large cakes, sometimes three or four
feet high, are cooked with beautiful
ornaments on the top, and eggs skill
fully painted. Both cakes and eggs,
with other eatables, are brought on
Easter eve near the church and placed
all about on the ground. After the
midnight mass procession of priests
and choirs comes out and walks
around the church, blessing all the
food, which is arranged before them
as In market.
Easter Sunday and the two follow
Ing days are dedicated to paying WIS.,
Its. Every man calls upon his ac-
quaintances. Visitors are obliged to
eat and drink wherever they happen
to go, otherwise they will offend the
host.

Spiders as Companions.

OF all creatures to choose as pets
spiders seem to be the strangest. Yet
many famous men have formed real
friendships with spiders. Beethoven
when studying the violin at the age Of
seven years, had a spider so accustom-
ed to him that 1t would crawl on to
his arm while he was practicing. OF
Paganini It is said that whenever he
played a certain air on his violin
spider approached him and stood still
listening until he had finished. Gaetry,
author of Richard Occur de Lion"
tells of spiders that used to perch mo-
tionless upon the piano while he
played.

Birds That Burrow.

Persons are not accustomed to think
of birds as burrowing animals, but the
putin answers to that description. 1t
is a chunky little fowl, less than
foot high, with a large and powerful
beak. For a home it scratches hole
In the ground sometimes as much as
four feet deep. To capture putin
one must go digging. 1t is rather
lob; and, inasmuch as the bird bites
and claws fiercely, one is likely to
suffer in the process. Thus the crea-
ture has maintained its numbers on
many a lonely rockery, where other
species of wild fowl have been killed
off and exterulinated-

Legislature May Adopt
Registr ati0n OF Voters

This phase of the voting situation
will be discussed by the board of Sc
1ectmen at their meeting today when
the registrars will probably explain
some contemplated changes in the
voting laws Selectmen said that in
all probability the legislature next
week would be asked to grant about
three weeks time in which to enroll
voters in order that the thousands of
women eligible may qualify for the
fall elections. The time for making
voters at present is between Oct. s
and Is.
AS it was explained the elimination
of the to-be-made list would cut out
much work now necessary in keeping
track of applications from prospective
voters. The to-be-made list must,
after the expiration of the time limit
for applications, be published and
posted in front Of the municipal build
ing and the procedure entails time, eff
fort and expense, with the assurance
always that those who have neglected
to get their names on the list are de-
prived of The voting privilege until
the following elections,

Hartford, Sept 8-Oficials charged
with the enrolment of voters are
contemplating a change in the exist
ing voting laws whereby the "to-be-
made" list of prospective voters will
be abolished. The elimination of this
list, it was said by a member of the
board of se1ectmen, woulds not only
expedite the making of voters in the
fall, but would also preclude the pos
sibility of persons DESTROYS of being
made from being shut out either
through their own carelessness and
neglect, or through ignorance of the
laws. &
To abolish the to-be-made list is a
task which the state legislature must
perform and, it was said, it is believed
that the registrars of voters will urge
this move by the legislature when it
convenes in special session on Sept. IA
to alter the voting laws in order to
provide for the enfran chisement of
the women Under the existing laws
applications for the to-be-made list
close on Oct. and those eligible but
not on the list cannot be made voters
until the next registration session

now being prepared by the Ma
tional Parks association passes
congress, according to word re.
ceiyed yesterday afternoon by W.
F, Ramsdell, forest supervisor OF

association was defeated in its
first attempt to secure control OF
Diamond lake, and in the event the
lake should be set aside as q park
1t will mean great loss for
Douglas county. Thousands OF
tourists have been attracted to
this section by this scenic Won
der and its Withdrawal from the
Douglas domain would mean com.
mercial loss.
In the event the boundaries OF
the Crater Lake park are extend
ed to include Diamond lake. the
restrictions now in force around
Crater lake would be extended to
the other natural wonder nearby.
A charge would be made for pas
sage through the paik, regardless
of whether person stopped at
the lake or not. Visitors would
not be allowed to carry guns and
special restrictions would be
made for campers.

own parishiOners, but he and his
wife and son have greatly en-
deared themselves with the entire

ELNlORE AND DANFORD
APPOINTED LIEUTENANTS

Fl. T. Elmore and Beecher Dan
ford have received their appoint
ments as First and Second lieu
tenant, respectively.
II. \. Elmore, the new First lieu
tenant of First Company, has been
with the organization since it was
started in February, 1919. His
strict attention to his work and
his untiring efforts in behalf Of
the company were the cause OF
his promotion. Lieutenant Ell
more's promotion has been very
rapid, having enlisted as a private
in February, 1919, and having
been promoted first to corporal,
then sergeant, then First sergeant
and then to First lieutenant.
Beecher Danford, the appointee
to the office of Second lieutenant,
First Company, is an ardent work
er. He was a member OF the old
First Company. and has had SER
vice in France. The boys are all
very enthusiastic over his appoint
ment.
Colonel White, the adjutant gen.
eral of Oregon. wrote both lieu
/ tanants very encouraging letters,
stating that he had noticed their
good work, and felt personally
pleased over the appointments.
Sergeant Eric Weren, another
standby in the company, was ap-
pointed as First sergeant to sue
ceed Lieutenant Elmore, who for
merly held that position.
The First Company is now get
ting ahead very rapidly, Three
recruits were taken in last week
and many more are in line for en-
listment. The splendid training
and advantages that an enlist
ment in the company offers is
very appealing.
