EASTERTIDE

The happy Eastertide is here
with its sacred memories sweet,
OF our risen Savior dear,
Whose GROWING vict'ry was complete.
For He triumphed over Death
And for us dispelled the gloom,
As with one triumphant breath
He burst the letters of the tomb.
And so with thankful hearts we sing,
Resembling anthems Of His love;
For now we need not fear Deaths sting
Since Christ came down from Heav'n
above.
And we nre not alone in praise,
For Nature lends her help to man
To celebrate the joyful days
With all the beauty that she can.
For cen the lilies pure and white
Give out their fragrance truly sweet,
And spread their petals to the light
With charming beauty, quite complete.
And grasses lift their heads on high
With ever changing hues of green,
As If they too, would gladly try
To paint and beautify the scene.
And trees put forth their op'ning buds,
And spread their leaves upon the air;
As il to join the swelling floods
OF praise and beauty everywhere.
And birds. in sweetest melody,
Tril out their joy in happy lays,
As If to teach humanity
To sing its loving Makers praise.
Then let us vie with Nature grand
In praisng His dear name again,
And not forget His last command,
To love and serve our fellowmen.

BY ELEANOR KIMBALL.

The proper time for the celebration
of Easter has occasioned no little con-
troversy. In the second century the
great mass of the eastern Christians
celebrated Easter on the 14th day of
the first Jewish month or moon, con-
sidering it to be the successor and the
equivalent to the Jewish Passover,
while the western Christians cele-
brated it after the 14th day, holding
that it was in COMMUNICATION of the
resurrection of Christ.
The council of Nice (325) decided
in favor of the western usage, brand
ing the other as "quartodeciman
heresy. This, however, settled only
the point that Easter was to be held
on Sunday. At the time of the intro
duction of the Gregorian calendar in
1882, it was debated whether Easter
should continue to be movable or
whether fixed Sunday after the 21st
day of March should not be adopted.
Determined by Moon.
1t was Difference to ancient customs
that led the ecclesiastical authorities
TO adhere to the method of determina-
ton by the moon. Easter day, there
fore, always falls upon the first Sun
day after the full moon which hap
pens to fall upon or next after March
81. II the full moon happens upon
Sunday, Easter day is the Sunday fol-
lowing.
While Easter is considered the
Queen Feast of the church year, It
cannot be said to have originated in
the early church, during the time of
the apostles. But it is evidently of
ancient origin in the church. as taking
the place of the Jewish Passover, with
which date it was thought to nearly
coincide. The festival in the ancient
church, as also in the church of today,
was held to commemorate the resur-
rection of Jesus Christ
Celebration Lasted Eight Days.
In the early church the celebration
Of Easter lasted eight days, but after
he eleventh century it was limited to
three, and in later times to two days.

Easter Has Significance
To Christians and Pagans
Typfes Both Religious Revivcaton and Re-awakening
of Christians Borrowed Some of Its Features
From Jews and Some From Persans.

In England at the present time, Good
Friday, the Friday before Easter, Holy
Saturday. and Holy Monday. the Mon
day following Easter, are all observed
as holidays.
Easter Sunday was formerly the fav-
orite time for the rite of baptism. and
in the Roman Catholic, Anglican and
Greek churches this day is held es-
pecially fitting for baptisms and con-
firmation. and in these churches. on
this day, invariably the celebration of
the Holy Eucharist is held.
A Religious Significance.
The ancient church in seeking to
convert the Pagans, took over many
of their customs and gave to them a
religious signific& nee. Thus, the fes-
tival of Easter, or joy at the rising of
the natural sun, the awakening of ma
ture from the death of winter, was
taken to typify the joy at the rising
of the Sun of Righteousness, the
resurrection of Christ from the grave.
In olden days people saluted one
another with the Easter kiss and the
exclamation "Surrexit' (He is risen.)
The reply to this was We're surrexit"
(He is risen indeed.) This custom
still is observed among members of
the Greek church. in the old country
Use of Easter Eggs.
The most characteristic Easter Gus
tom, and the one the most widely diff
fused, is the use of Pasch ii. e. Easter)
eggs They are usually dyed or
stained in brilliant colors and people
reciprocally make presents. of them.
altho this custom has almost entirely
died out except among children.
There can be little doubt that the
use of eggs at Easter is symbolical of
the identification of nature, the
springing forth of life in the spring.
The practice, is not confined to Chris
tians, as the Jews used eggs in the
feast of the Passover, and it is said
that the Persians. keeping the festival
of the solar new year. Gin March,. re-
ciprocally present each other colored
eggs.
From the Christian point of view,
this Feast of Eggs usually has been
considered as embIematic of the resur-
rection and a future life. -

The daily papers of Monday, April
8, 1920, told a woeful tale to tell.
Over a great portion Of the state more
than a foot of snow fell on the night
before Easter. In Topeka street cars
and motor cars stopped running be-
fore midnight of Saturday night, and
there were no lines open, on the street
cars, till late Sunday

NO EASTER RUSH.
No Particular Boom Here in
Sale of Eggs, Dealers Say.
Price Is Lower Now Than Any
Easter Since War.

Topeka merchants do not believe
that there has been any particular
boom in the sale of eggs as a result of
the Easter season.
Eggs have been selling very heavily
since the price was reduced so far be-
low the normal for this season of the
year, but SO far as Topeka is con-
cerned, the old fashioned Easter egg
seems to have passed.
Back to Pre-War Prices.
Eggs are selling at less now than
they have sold on any Easter since
before the war, and dealers had ex-
pected a heavy rush for the real hen
article for the celebration of Easter,
but the rush has not been evident.
With eggs at twenty cents or twenty
one cents dozen, "everybody's eatln
EN-
The consumption has hardly nicked
the supply, wholesalers declare. The
open season has resulted in the peak
OF production coming before it usually
comes, and just now eggs are being
produced by the helpful hen, faster
than they will be for some time to
come.
No Storage Capacity.
Storage capacity on eggs, however,
is about filled up.
Only one dealer said that the re-
duction in the price which is being
paid to the farmers for eggs has re-
suited in cutting down the supply
which is brought to town, however.
on the other hand, candy eggs for
Easter, have sold more heavily than
for years past. At least one dealer
was Cleaned out" on candy Easter
eggs, on Monday and Thursday. and
declared that he was unable to get
any more from the wholesalers.

The temperature on Easter morning
was 20 degrees, and rose only de-
grees during the day.
1t is not probable that the Easter
of 1921 win more than approximate
this condition of affairs. The snow
will be confined to the western and
central portions of the state, in all
probability, and the forecast says that
there will be temperature of about
80 degrees Sunday morning.

This Easter is going to be a mild
imitation of last Easter-and it may
not be so mild at that before it's over"
Meteorologist s. D. Flora said this
morning.
With spring beginning on January
1, and the temperatures of the past
twenty-four hours 20 degrees above
normal, Kansas stands an excellent
chance of having heavy blanket of
Easter snow over the western and
central portions. with the usual ac-
compartment of stalled trains and in

DITCHING MACHINE TO
LOAD DEAD CATTLE

How to quickly dispose of 155
head Of cattle, which had been killed
by a fast train on western railroad
during binding blizzard. was a
problem that was solved by the di-
vision officers in novel manner. A
big ditching machine and train Of
gondola cars were rushed to the
scene, and within three hours of the
time it left headquarters it was back
with three gondola loads of carcasses,
says Popular Mechanics Magazine in
an illustrated article in the March
issue. A chainA was substituted for
the bucket of the machine and fas-
tened around one leg Of each animal,
and the derrick man, with dex-
terious flip of the big broom, placed
every carcass in the cars exactly
where he chose. This was considered
something of feat, as the broom
was not long enough to reach to the
end of the last car, and the load had
to be swung into place.

GOVERNOR YETOEs
EIGHT PER CENT. BILL

Returning the per cent. bill
without his approval, Gov. Taylor
last Friday set out reasons for his
action in the following message to
the legislature:
"To the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives-I am returning House
Bill No. 800 without my approval.
II have listened to very strong
arguments in favor Of the passage
Of this law. but after much careful
consideration of them / have come to
deliberate conclusion that / can not
place my signature to the bill
eve are living under conditions
and circumstances, much of which
are an incident Of the war, that will
not warrant and justify measures
which viii result in a further in
crease in the already burdens which
rests upon the great body Of our
people.
"The farmers, the young and
struggling home builders and the
great multitude Of small business
men are now being forced to 1orrow
money to pay their taxes. Punched
as they are for ready cash they are
compelled to draw out their Liberty
bonds, which patriotism induced
them to buy at sacrifice and pay
100 per cent. on the dollar therefor,
hut when they take these Liberty
bonds to the various places they are
only given from IS to 90 cents and
sometimes not that much. Under the
law as it now exists the borrower in
most instances is forced to pay at
the rate of 8 per cent, such 8 per
cent. being procured by showing 6
per cent on the face of the note and
2 per cent. being procured in pay
ment for the privilege of securing
the loan, If this bill passes, the 6
per cent. will be forever chloroformed
and the borrower will be forced to
pay 10 per cent. through the same
cireuitous route by which he is now
compelled to pay 8 per cent. Land
notes, fertilizer notes, machinery
notes and various other kinds Of
notes win almost automatically 90
up to 8 per cent. 1t is paradoxical
to argue that this increased rate will
help the borrower, while it at the
same time takes more money from
him.
II have no criticisms against the
great banking institutions of our
state. But have they not all grown
and prospered under the present law,
and have they not all paid healthy
dividends under the present law?
a"Strange as it may seem, just at
an hour when prices on everything
are going downward we seem to have
a tendency to legislate upward.
"The proponents Of this measure
have been well and ably represented
before this legislature. The pressure
has been tremendous and hard to
withstand. Somebody must argue
for that great body Of men and wo-
men who have no organizations and
associations. That body constitutes
the borrowers of our country and in
so far as I am able to do so their
conditions and opportunities to
grow and prosper shall not be les
