War Savings Stamp
Sales Falling Behind

Report of sales of War Savings
Stamps for January and February
show that per capita purchase by
people of Delaware is only about
six cents. In Phila delphia it is a
trifle over II cents.
Delaware leads all cities of the
country in amount of money spent
for moving picture shows, being
about S11 for every man, woman
and child in the State. With other
cities ranging around less than
half this amount, it is said, and
with a per capita purchase of two
and three times as much for thrift
and war savings stamps, it seems
the amount of these savings
stamps purchased by people in
this State might we'll be increased.
According to Miss Edith L.
Hughes in charge of War Loan
Organizations in the State the
sales are increasing. While Del
aware is doing we'll, it is of course
possible to do much better.
Ring, snow-white bells, your purest
praise,
To glorify this Easter day,
And let our risen Savior's joy
Your voiceless, fragrant breath en-
ploy-
Fill every valley with perfume
And tighten Deaths appalling gloom,
Teach ye our troubled hearts the way
To trust our Savior every day.

SIGNIFICANCE OF
THE EGG AND THE
BUNNY AS EASTER
SYMBOLS
The One, Betokens Awaken
ing Life; The Other Con-
nected With Mons
Phases

The Egg and the Bunny" have fig
ured in all Easter celebrations in all
lands, since Christianity has been a
potent force. Even before that the
egg was used as a symbol of new
awakening life.
In the early English days Easter
eggs were highly colored, decorated
with landscapes and with elaborate
inscriptions. On the continent the
egg, with the unique panoramic inter-
ior become more and more elaborate
as it became more popular, and many
unique effects were produced to be
enjoyed through transparent little
peep-holes.
The custom of decorating eggs was
in all probability brought to America
by the English and survives to GER
tain extent in most communities to-
day in one form and another. The
profusely decorated candy egg is a
popular adjunct of the Easter season,
and the home-colored egg is still the
Joy of many childish heart. Easter
Saturdays egg dyeing in just as
pleasurable an event as the observ-
ances of the day itself.
Each section of the country has it's
own peculiar customs. In Lewes, for
example, the colored egg is an indis-
pensable part of the Easter Monday
luncheon which is invariably enjoyed
at the sand dune formed at Cape Hen.
lopen, whittier the whole town goes on
that gala day.
The Tyrolese peasants retain very
pretty custom of celebrating Easter,
in which the egg figures prominently
On Easter eve bands Of musicians
traverse every valley, singing holiday
hymns. Their picturesque hats are
adorned with flowers. Crowds of
children accompany them and at night
carry torches of lighted pine wood
As they pause before each house the
people come to the doors and put eggs
into the baskets of the singers, while
they themselves join in the chorus.
The Paschal lamb as an emblem
was much used in the early Christian
era, and is still symbol of Easter in
many of the Latin countries.
In Africa they even worship it
and no altar decoration is considered
finished without a circle of eggs
while each private family boasts al
least one sacred egg.
The rabbit legend, strange to say
is connected with the moon. There
were all sorts of fancies with regard
to the moon phases, from which time
Easter is reckoned, and among some
nations the rabbit is a type of the
moon itself. The Hindu and Japar
artists painted them across the moon:
disk, while the Chinese represen
them in the moon as pounding rice il
a mortar. In many parts of ths
world today children watch eagerl.
for the Dummy" who hides it's eggs S,
carefully for their finding on Easte
morning.

change in State Road No. /, that is the
road from Spicer to Paynesville via
New London. Some one got the idea in
his head land we understand it was the
County Highway Engineer) that this
road should be changed so as to run on
the east side Of the railroad track all
the way from Spicer to Paynesville.
Such a change could not possibly be
satisfactory to our people, for the rea-
son that it would leave New London off
the road entirely, and for the further
reason that the expense involved in
building a road on the east side of the
railroad thru the township of New Lon
don alone would be prohibitive to any
one who had any regard for economy
in public expenditures. After having
been put in possession of the above
facts by the above named committee,

ed not to authorize the proposed change
