GATHER FOR JUDGMENT DAY
Moravians Visit Burial Ground Easter
Sunday to Welcome the Dead,
Should They Arise.

The Moravian churches of this coun-
try have their Passion week, with
somewhat peculiar rites. They set
tied In Pennsylvania and North Caro-
lima. At Bethlehem and other places
in PENNSYLVANIA they are the FREEDOM
mating religious sect. At Salem,
N. c., they established very inter-
esting and unique colony In 1853.
There they have strong church and
one of the finest colleges In the coun-
try. Religious service is a daily oc-
currence in the church during Pas
sion week. The sacrament Is admin
istered and many of the younger set
are confirmed. On Saturday. the
closing day, they have the love feast
and break bread together as one happy
family. The juvenile pleasures are
not overlooked. Late In the after
noon of Saturday the children are to
he seen busily engaged about the
hedges and fences constructing rabbit
nests In which they expect rabbits to
lay eggs during the night, and they
are never disappointed; they always
find the nests bount;fully supplied with

MUST HAVE KNOWN PIcKEREL
Uncle Jim Quite Evidently Familiar
With the Habits of That
Particular Fish.

Uncle Jim, trapper, had some easy
picking In the summer escorting de-
partment store clerks on hunting and
fishing trips.
Last summer there came one whom
Uncle Jim catalogued as fish mono
maniac. He had learned all about casts
and fies from a book, and insisted
upon being rowed all over the lake
long before sunrise.
One morning, while en- route 10 a

RELIC or PREHISTORIC RACE
Discovery of Lake Village Near GIas-
toubury, England, Has Awakened
Much Interest There.

Much interest was awakened in Eng.
land not so long ago by the discovery
of prehistoric lake village near Glas-
tonbury, the New York Herald reports
The dwellings were placed on mounds
of clay and raised above the level OF
the water. The framework OF prim-
tive loom was found under one
mound, and the number of broken
bone needles and bone splinters dis
covered in another mound may have
been the site Of an ancient needle fac
tory.
Few human bones were discovered.
but among the Interesting finds was
blue glass bead with waving dark
line running round 1t. One Of the
mounds contains 500 tons Of clay, all
of which must have been dug from the
surrounding hills and carried TO the
spot in boats.

FACTS
APPLE-PEcTIn AS cow FEED
Pulp Should Prove Valuable Adjunct
to Fare Of Animal When Com
pared With sIlage.

prepared by the UnftAd States Department
OF Agricuiture.)
That dried apple-pectin pulp should
prove valuable adjunct to the fare
OF the dairy COW Is the conclusion
drawn from analyses and feeding trials
conducted by the bureau OF chemistry
United States Department of Agricul
tnre, In collaboration with the Bureau
OF Animal Industry. This feed made
a favorable showing when compared
with dried beet pulp and corn silage.
Apple-pectin pulp lis the by-product
remGining after pectin has been ex-
tracted from apple pomace. or, as IL
is sometimes called, cider-press cake
After the pectin has been extracted
about three-fourths OF the total weight
of the pulp Is water, rendering It sub
dect to rapid spoilage. Heretofore 1t
has been thrown away, but 1t has been
found that when the pulp is dried
1t can be kept for considerable time
and, because OF It's reduced weight,
handled and shipped economically.
Some manufacturers have recently In
stalled evaporators for drying the
pulp In order to market the product
for stock feed
The feeding experiment included a
preliminary test with one COW for a
period of 20 days, and later ons
with 6 cows. The dried pectin pulp
was always mixed with three times its
weight Of water several hours before
feeding. In the first test the COW was
fed corn silage for 20 days, then, after
a transition period of 5 days, she was
given pectin pulp for 20 days, and,
after another transition period of 5
days, she was fed corn silage for an
other 20 days. In all these periods
grain was fed in connection with the
roughage.
The average production during the
corn-silage feeding-periods was 312
pounds of milk and 14.65 pounds OF
butterfat During the period when

Easter and the Passover.

Although the date of Easter had
been settled with the particular inten-
tion of preventing 1t from ever oc-
curing on the same day as the Jewish
Passover, the Nicean decree failed to
prevent this entirely. Since 1900
Easter and the Passover have been OBJ
servai together on April II in 1905,
1926 and 1908. Also they will occur
together on April |, 1928; April IT,
1927. and April 9, 1881. However, the
Passover usually falls on the week be-
fore Easter. 1t never comes before
March 20 nor later than Aptt Is.

pectin pulp was fed the COW made
1860 pounds of milk and 1858 pounds
of fat. Although this test showed
that the pulp produced lat per cent
more milk and II per cent more but
terfat than the corn silage, the re
suits can not be considered conclusive
In the second and more extended ex-
pertinent the pectin pulp was COM
pared with dried beet pulp, feed that
1t resembles more closely than corn
silage The cows were fed for 30
days on beet pulp soaked with three
times Its weight of water, then, after
a transition period of 10 days, they
were fed for 80 days on pectin pulp
soaked with similar quantity of
water. The soaking was from one
feeding time to the next. but In warm
weather the pulp should not be
allowed to soak for more than one or
two hours. The pectin pulp contained
approximately per cent crude fat
(not all of which is true fat). 7 per
cent crude protein, and % per cent
crude fiber, as compared with 0.5 per
cent crude fat, 8 per cent crude pro-
tein, and 20 per cent crude fiber In
beet pulp. The two feeds are similar
In being able to absorb water readily.
The cows while on the ration con.
tanning the beet pulp produced 4s76-5
pounds OF milk and 171.S6 pounds OF
butterfat; while on the pectin-pulp ra.
ton they produced 4sT6.7 pounds Of
milk and 1928 pounds of fat. Forty
pounds of the wet pulp were offered to
each COW daily. The palatabiiity OF
the pectin pulp did not appear to be
SO high as that of the beet pulp, since
the cows did not eat it so readily. II
seems that pound for pound OF dry
matter the pectin pulp Is superior to
corn silage and perhaps intermediate
between the silage and beet pulp.
The loss of appetite for the pectin
pulp by some OF the cows may be at
tributed to the fact that 1t was the
less familiar feed and that the second
test was conducted during the summer
when cows are more apt to tire OF
such feeds.

UnfaItering Dfrect1ess.
"Our country and the world may
well consider the simplicity and d.
rectness which marked the great
ness of General Grant. In war his
object was the destruction of the
opposing army. He knew that task
was difficult. He knew that the
price would be high, yet amid
misunderstanding and jealousy, he
did not alter his course. He paid
the price. He accomplished the re-
suit. He wasted no time in at
tempting to find some substitute
for victory. He held fast to the
same principle in time of peace
Around him was the destruction
which the war had wrought. The
economic condition of the country
was depressed by a great financial
panic. He refused to seek refuge
in any fictions. He knew that sound
values and a sound economic con-
dition could not be created @y law
alone. but only through the long
and toilsome application OF human
effort put forth under wise law.
He laid the foundation of national
welfare on which the nation has
stood mistaken in every time OF
storm and strife His policy was
simple and direct, and eternal!y
true.
Put Truth Into Action.
Here was a man who lived the
great realities of life. AS Lincoln
put thought into words, so Grant
could put truth into action. How
truly he stands out as the great
captain of a republic. Through and
through he was genuine. He rep
resented power. The great issues
of the world he met and met
squarely.
"a grateful republic has raised
this monument not as a symbol Of
war, but as a symbol of peace"

tory or expanding empire He was
only seeking to preserve. He dill
not fight to enslave; he only battlcd
to sustain Lincoln, whom God in
spired to bestow freedom. He did
not seek to punish or destroy; ne
was fighting to save and reunite
In his heart were no drastic terms
of surrender; he craved the bless
ings of peace restored.
Fought fer Union.
Many an incident of the war,
many a revelation of his, sturdy
character showed that his face was
set on the one supreme achievement
union and the preserved ark of
the American covenant of liberty.
No hurting heart, no rivalry, no tri-
umph of other commanders, no pro-
notion of the aspiring or deserv-
ing, could remove his gaze from the
great end sought. He wrote Sher-
man, in Grant-like simplicity and
sincerity, that he would serve under
him as willingly as over him, to at
tain preserved union. Out of such
conservation, out of such un-
changing devotion, came his sig
nal victory. He fought for a
preserved union and restored ma
ton, and succeeding generations
are richer because of his example.
One may guarantee the security OF
this republic so long as leaders
among men put the country's good
above personal and political al
vantage.
Always Face Forward.
1T is not to be said of Grant
that he sought to preserve a politi-
cal or social order, or even a gov
eminent, which had especially
favored him. He was too little
favored by the existing order. Nor
can it be said that he sought per-
sonal or political popularity. These
things were apart from his early
life.
1T is uncomfortable that men are
prejudiced in their attitude toward
great problems by their own ex-
periences-more by their disap-
pointments than their successes.
Grants own experience in lie
might hive led less deliberate
character to welcome an upheayal.
