Less Money for Crops

1t was pointed out in some quar-
ters that funds needed for moving
crops would be smaller this season
than for several years, for the reason
that prices are lower and labor is
cheaper. Moreover, more economies
nave been introduced all the way from
the farm to the grain elevators to take
advantage of the smaller margins of
profit. For this reason it is estimated
that the amount needed this fall will
be about S250,00o.00o, or less than in

PERFORMERS PROPOSE TO
CHANGE WORLD CALENDAR
Object Is to Make Same Day
of Month Occur on Same
Date All Year
BY Henry Wood
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent


!. Rome; Dec. 13.-Women will be
very much. interested in the meeting
next April at Rome of an interna-
tional committee which purposes to
reform the calepdar. f..
= If said committee can have its, way,
two points at least will bear directly
upon the habits and customs OF the
fair sex. One of these will be the fix
ing of Easter and the other Will be
doing away with present leap-year
system. Whether this latter change
will affect leap-year privileges will
remain to be seen.
The committee that will endeavor
to put the calendar onto a sensiple
and busin ess-like basis is composed OF
Cardinal MERCER; M. Bijourdan, d.
rector Of the Paris Observatory; Fl.
sLecointe, director OF the Uccle Oh
servatory Of Brussels; W. II. Camp
bell, astronomical director OF the
Lick Observatory Of California; M.
Deslandres, director Of the Meridon
Observatory near Paris; Sir +. w.
Dyson, royal astronomer at Green
wich; r. A. Sampson, professor OF as
tronomy at Edinburg University.
The primary object of the proposed
calendar reform is to make the same
day of the month occur on the same
date the year around. All that inter-
feres with this at the present time Is
the existence of 365 days in the year
instead of 1854 which would be equally
'divisible by the 81 weeks in year,
and the question of leap year.
To overcome the first obstacle, it is
proposed to create New Years day
into day entirely outside of the cal
endar, thus leaving only 364 days to
be accounted for. Then, for the leap
years, it is proposed to treat the ex-
ira day the same way, making 1T a
separate day just after June 80, en-
tirely outside the calendar. In order
to make Easter fixed instead of
movable feast day it will be neces-
sary to have the consent Of the Holy
See, and negotiations are already I'M
der way to that end at Rome.
