MEAT PRICES

A short time ago a lady went from
New Orleans to Racine, Wis, to visit
relatives. She sent a copy of the
Racine Journal back to New Orleans
and it fell into the hands Of the editor
OF the Item. CHANGING through the
Wisconsin paper the Crescent City
newspaper man was struck with the
vast difference in the prices Of meat
in Wisconsin and Louisiana, and he
wrote an article for the Item in which
he expressed a considerable measure
of astonishment.
For example, it was found that
while beef pot roast sold at 35 cents
a pound in New Orleans it sold at IL
cents a pound in Racine. Veal
breasts retailed in New Orleans at
25 cents pound and in Racine at
nine cents. Veal shoulder roasts
bring IL cents a pound in Racine and
80 cents a pound in New Orleans.
Veal chops are sold in Racine at IA
cents and in New Orleans at 40 cents.
Porterhouse steak in Racine sells at
18 cents and in New Orleans at 35
cents. In Racine you can buy baby
veal at Is cents, while in New Or
leans you would have to pay so cents.

CELEBRATION OF
RUSSIAN EASTER
Impressive Services in Moscow
Held Under the Regime
of the Cars.

In the days before the suppression
Of the patrisrchate by Peter the Great,
on Good Friday, or, as the Russians
say, Great Friday-the patriarch, in
humble imitation of our Lords entry
into Jerusalem, rode OIL an ass from
the Church Of Blessed Basil, in Mos
COW, across the mosaic of fluttering
doves, through the Gate Of the Savior,
up to the Kremlin, but last year the
patriarch was forbidden entrance in
the ancient way. says the Detroit
News. Indeed, 1t was late on Easter
eve before his holiness knew with GER

morrow. In spite of the shelling and

for Jerusalem. During Holy week the
city is filled to overfowing with these
peasants who participate in the vari-
Gus ceremonies, afterward travelling
to the River Jordan to bathe in it's
cleansing waters in the firm belief
that they will be washed of their sins.
1t Is curious sight to watch these
pilgrims from the time they leave the
boat at Jaffa until they finally reach
the Holy city. Young men and women,
old men and women have boarded
their pitiful earnings all through the
year in order to make this trip and
receive the blessing of Russian priests
in Jerusalem.
When they reach the Via Dolorosa,
or Road of Sorrows, that threads it's
way like a white ribbon between the
city bulwarks and the dusty hills of the
Mount of Olives. they pause and shout
their hosannas, for was it not over
this very road which Christ passed on
his way to Gethsemane?
While Holy week with its holy fire
and other big celebrations is a men,
orable occasion to them, frequently
the one event of their lifetime, 1t Is
the visit to the River Jordan that is
marked on the calendar of their days
ever thereafter. While the men are
being baptized in the holy waters, the
women roll their skirts to their knees,
remove their shoes and stockings and
wade in the mud along the shore, ca
ger for contact with the river which
is bound to wash away their sins.
When all the men have been i'm
mersed the women take their turn, the

If you were born on Easter day, you

The custom Of wearing a new bon

WAS NEW ONE ON KITCHENER
of His Element When 1t Came

Here is Lord Kitchener story, told
by the anonymous author of "The Mir
rOrs of Downing Street" Kitchener
was a soldier and absorbed in his pro-
fessiOn. Details outside of his ruling
passion annoyed him.
During the early days of the war
Lloyd George went to him at the war
Office and asked the appointment of
denominational chaplains for the vari-
GUS sects of the army.
Kitchener had no interest in chap
lains. He regarded them as a negli-
gible factor in the fighting machine
He opposed the appointments. Lloyd
George insisted. especially with respect
to Presbyterians. Kitchener finally
yieledd and picked up his pen
Every WELL" he said, 'you shall have
a Presbyterian" Then a faint smile
lighted his serious face. 'Let me see.
Presbyterian?-how do you spell it?'
