Hurrah for, Father Time!

Hurrah for, Father Time
Not only did the grizzled old gen
tleman give us five double holidays
in 1920, but he is going to do the
same thing in 1921. The new cal
endar shows that five eventful days
of the year fall OH Sunday or the
day after.
Some of the months have many
red letter days, April leads them all,
with thirteen days marked in bright
colors and with significance pic
tured. with special drawings. Others
have six, seven, eight or more.
SOME. are holidays, but not legally
so and therefore not observed.
Father Time will also fatten the
pocketbooks of those who call for
their precious envelopes on Saturday
The year 1921 has So Saturdays in
stead of the usual 81.
Washburn's gentler sex probab-
" cannot wear new spring suits or
coats, silk stockings or pumps at
Easter this year. March, the demon
month for weather, has Easter Sun
day within its grasp. Easter was in
that month, but it is fully week
earlier in 1921 coming on March,
New Birthday Anniversary
Birthday anniversaries of Benjam-
in Franklin, Daniel Webster, Robert
E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson and Will
liam Mckinley are observed in jan
uary. Signing OF the Emancipation
Proclamation and the Battle of New
Orleans in 1916, were January events,
but 1921 contained new date that
goes down prominently in the an
nuals of history. 1t was the anniver-
sary of the death Of Theodore Roose-
welt on Jan. 6.
Some foreign maiden will probably
regret that February hasn't that ex-
ira day in 1921 when She can pop
the question but the month is not
without it's significance. Grounding
day stands out bodily to keep us
guessing about the length of the win
ter. Ash Wednesday, the opening
of Lent falls on Feb. 9. Lincoln's
birthday, Washington's birthday and
st. Valentines day all fall within the
span of the twenty eight days.
March has it's usual historical an
niversaries and will include all the
church holidays connected with
Easter. Events of the late war are
shown in April including our dec
laration of war with Germany on
April 6, and firing of the first shot
on April 26, 1917.
The Yanks' first big victory at
Shantigny is remembered on May %.
Memorial day falls on Monday, CIV
ing two-day holiday over Sunday
and Monday. May 10 is designed
as "peace day" and May II commend
rates the sinking of the Lusitania.
Victory Days Remembered
Many doughboys will be reminded
on June 26 that the first American
troops reached France on that day in
1917. The great Italian victory on
the Austrian front is remembered on
May. "a.
July not only has a double holiday
because independence Day falls on
Monday, but also recalls an event of
the great war in the American sue
cessful counter attack on Chateau
Theierry on July 1898.
One of the darkest pages in mis-
tory stands in bold relief on the Au-
gust page. 1t is the first day when
the World War began in Europe in
1914. Pershing's successful drive on
the st. Mihiel salient on Sept. IL and
the surrender of Bulgaria on Sept. 80
in 1918, gives September two days of
special note. Labor day falls on Mon
