LUTHERAN EASTER SERVICES

Easter Sunday, the Day of Resur-
rection. will be appropriately op-
served in Trinity Lutheran church.
Easter is one of the two most Inn
portant festivals in the church, the
other being Christmas. Without
Christmas there would have been no
Easter, and without Easter there
would be no Christian Church. With
the resurrection of Jesus Christ the
Christian church either stands or
falls. Was the resurrection of the
Son of God fact, or was it fraud?
At the beginning of the last century
Sir Gilbert West and Lord Lyttleton,
two OF the lirerary stars of England,
determined on a masterstroke for the
suppression of the Gospel. 1t SEEM
ed to them that the two greatest
foundation rocks of Christ's religion
were His Resurrection and the Con-
version of st. Paul. Gilbert West
agreed to write. refutation OF the
Resurrection of Christ, and Lord
Lyttleton of the Conversion Of Saul.
at the conclusion of their work they
met by appointment. Gilbert West
asked, What is the result of your
work. The answer was: II have
fully investigated the narrative of
the conversion of St. Paul. and am
satisfied that this man, on his
journey along the Damascus highway.
really saw Jesus of Nazareth, and
that this Jesus was the very Christ
of God" And said Sir Gilbert West:
II have thoroughly investigated the
Resurrection of Christ, and have
come to the conclusion that He who
is said to have come forth from the
sepulchre of Joseph's garden, was, as
He claimed to be, the veritable Son
of God"
Much has been written of late con-
cerning the finding of the tomb of
Tut-Ankh-Amen, early Egyptian king.
The Christian is also interested in
this, as a proof of Old Testamental
history. But there Is a tomb, which
is of the untmost Importance to the
Christian, not merely of interest,
and that is the Remarkable Tomb in
Joseph's Garden" into which the
dead Christ was laid. That will be
the subject of Rev. Felten's Easter
sermon, based on the Easter Gospel.
The morning worship will be Eng
lish, commencing at 1030 o'clock.
Trinity Ladies' Aid has provided
Easter lilies for the altar. The
choir will render: But Now is
Christ Risen" There will also be
German service at p. m. The
festival offerings will go to the Bay
Cities Mission work.
Trinity Lutheran Church extends
cordial invitation to all who have
no church home to attend its Easter
service.

TAXABLE WEALTH OF
NEVADA INCREASES

The taxable valuation of Nevada
has been swelled materially by the
addition of some II 1.4696i acres OF
land to the tax rolls of Elko and
neighboring counties as the result
OF the granting OF patent TO the
Central Pacific Railroad company on
this acreage under the old original
grant which allowed the road every
other section on both sides OF the
right OF way, says the Free Press.
These lands while tentatively the
property of the railroad company do
not become so In fact until they are
granted a patent by the United States
government. II is the general be-
lief in this section that the land was
given outright TO the Central Pacific.
but such Is not the case, and It Is
necessary for the company to apply
for patent on these lands. and
this 71,469.64 acres represents the
latest efforts of the company along
this line.
Most OF the land taken up by this
patent runs north from the railroad
track In Lander and Eureka counties
taking in the Midas district in Elko
county. There is one portion. how
ever. which has been taken by the
railroad in this county which Is of
considerable interest because 1t lies
in Glover Valley, and the Western
Pacific right OF way passes through
the center of the township. This is
the heart Of the Glover Valley agri-
cultural district and likely to prove
valuable to the railroad company.

Creamery Company Pays Big Amounts

Henry Richardson of East Skowhe-
gan brought some interesting clip
pings into the agricultural depart
ment the other day. His brother, l..
NJ. Richardson. formerly of East
Skowhegan, is now president OF the
State Bank at Turtle Lake, Wis. The
clippings dealt with amounts paid by
the Barron Cooperative Creamery Co.
and showed that the farmers OF Wis.,
consin are keen On dairying interests.
These clippings stated that more than
$4,000 was paid to patrons for the
month. The 1927 patrons furnished
the creamery 870,395 pounds of cream
or 262,220,5 pounds of butter fat,
which at AZ cents a pound made $780,
1881. The biggest check was for
$529.54 went to John @. Wertz & Son
of the Moose Ear Ranch. Six others
received more than 100000. Forty
five in all received more than $4,000.
Hadn't this ought to be a little in
centive to our farmers in the east?

Bad Season for Farmers
NV p Wjnslow)

This season will be rem embered
as a bad lot for the farmers, begin
ming with late planting because OF
the cold and rains and this followed
by more cold and later severe
drought which is still prevailing.
Then a frost in many places and at
this writing the corn promises not
half a CROP, with many pieces entire
ly killed by frost and dry weather.
Potatoes are showing signs OF dry
weather blight and frost with many
pieces already gone. There will
be few in the hill and go per cent OF
n normal crop will be all that can
be expected and 1t may go even less
than that. There was a big cut Of
hay but with a prospect of a low
price. Apples will pan out about so
per cent and in many places even
less than that. Eggs are selling for
2S cents, butter fat for so cents and
butter so cents as we'll. Why not
keep more cows? The old pastures
are now about worthless for feed
and the stock will need that extra
feed of green fodder that every farm
er planted. or II he did not he ought
to have done 30. How would 1t
work right now to pillow that field
which Ia usually too wet to handle?

tee of the Federation through its plans
to interest clubs in getting the State
at work, had so aroused local interest
that many small towns owe their pres
ent fine libraries TO their women's
clubs and the work Of this first com
mittee. 1t has been stated that fully
one half of the Libraries in New Jer-
sey have been started by the women's
clubs.
Tn bill passed in 1899. The first
boxes Of books were equipped chiefly
by State appropriation, although many
books were given by the club women,
no new ones, however, most of them
being volumes that had been used.
The club ONE helped for several
years and provided some one to take
charge of travelling libraries in the
Pines.
State kindergarten Law
Early in its life the Federation be-
gan a custom, which has come to be
almost a habit, that Of going in per-
son, or by petition or through multi
tudes of letters or special envoy to
the State law makers and asking for
laws go better the conditions for
women and children. When but an in
FAINT itself in number of years, this
began; and in the first minutes a rec
ord is found of a successful effort to
have a law passed empowering cities
of certain class to establish Kinder
gartens in publis schools under speci-
fled c%onitions; one being the request of
a number of parents. Through that
law and the efforts of the club women
to have it put in operation, many cities
such as Jersey City, Newark and
others have induced the school au-
thorities to place this work for the
children in many of their schools. It
was n of the first public efforts of
the State federation for the children.
Preservation of the Palisades
No woman who lived in New Jersey
and who had any pride in her State
and kept informed at all could rest
in the years when the Federation was
young, without adding her mite to the
effort to preserve the Palisades.
"Plan after plan was considered and
rejected until but one remained, that
of a permanent commission to obtain
an Interstate Park"
The work progressed and the wom-
ems clubs were frequently asked to
help. Eventually all restrictions were
removed, New Jersey appropriated
$4,000 followed by a grant of $500, 000
from New York. Mr.. Perkins, presi-
dent of the New York Commission,
assuer d a gift of $122,500 from j. P.
Morgan, conditional on gifts from the
States, and thus the destructive work
was stopped.
According to Miss Demarest. the
secretary of the League, the money is
still in the Knickerbocker Trust Comp.
The Penn's Grove record., 1923-11-09

any Of New York and amounts to about
$500. So although the club women
o. New Jersey through their Fedora
llon virtually saved the Palisades, by
pflhg about the first interstate move
hlent, their project Of a perman-
ent monument is unfulfilled.
George Jr. Republic
Work for this important branch Of
the Federation endeaHor. began at the
spring meeting, 1908, at Madison. talks
from ar. George and others interested
IL: the work Of retaining the boy and
glfI who have made a false step, or
who through environment are likely tn
lose a good chance in life were hard
at that meeting and a fund started for
New Jersey women to help. From year
TO year after that, each federation
meeting had a report of the work.
At one time New jersey was support
ing several boys and girls at the Free
Vile Home in New York. In the re-
port for 1909 it was announced that
the Lehigh Valley Railroad had given
Mr.. George a farm of IS acres near
remington and on this was establish
ed the New Jersey Branch of the Re
public. Clubs throughout the state
contributed funds several boys and
girls were transferred from Freeville,
and on April 16, 1916, it was formally
opened.
After a trial of years it was deem
ed advisable to close the New jersey
farm at Pennington and accept the
offer of the Freeville, New York, Re
public and transfer the New Jersey
charge to that place and to close fnan-
cial responsibility of the New Jersey
Federation in this work in 1916.
County Chairmen and District Vice
Presidents
In 1906 a new office was created,
that of county chairman, to make a
closer connection with the individual
club and the State organization.
They soon proved their usefulness, and
amalgamated the clubs of every sec
ton, especially for county or commun-
ity effort. Starting with county chair
men, county committees were soon
formed, then county meetings held and
these included Miniature Federation
meetings. The plan being to gather
all the club women of the county twice
a year and have state officers inform
them Of Federationwork. This accom-
plished two things, it saved time,
strength and money of the speagers
by having them meet groups instead
of single clubs; and it gave opportu-
nifty for every club member to attend a
meeting for Federation interests.
