9 Holidays With

Coming Calendars

Nine holidays next to Sunday are
on the 1926, 1927 and 1928 calendars,
prolonging the holiday periods for
hundreds of thousands of business
people and employees.
Memorial Day, 1926, falls on Sum
day but, as is usually the case in
such instances, will Ekel: be obscrv-
cd on the Monday following. 1ndc-
pcndencc Day, which is always ex-
actly five weeks after Memorial Day,
will probably be celebrated on Mon
day in 1926, because Of the fact that
July is Sunday.
Labor Day, a holiday, always fol
lows Sunday, being designated as the
first Monday in September.
Christmas in 1926 comes on Sat-
ur,lay. thereby giving the public two
days in succession in which to OBJ
serve the anniversary Of the Christ
child's birth
New Years Day in 1917 starts that
year with two-day rest period. the
day falling on Saturday. During
1927 Memorial Day and Independence
Day fall on Monday, giving two sue
ccssive holidays in each case. Christ
mas Day, 1927, and New Years Day.
1923, which fall on Sunday. will pro

cal spochr&, but rather uncomfortable thing to
put into practice.
For it's only human nature to cheer a theory and
b;,k at lis concrete application.
Equality. Not equality Of ability, of course; no
one outside Of lunatic asylum believes that the
equality Of all mankind that. But equality of
opporunity equality Of rights; equality Of partici
patton in those elemental privileges without which
life is hardly worth the living.
When will have it?
When :. colorcd man stands the same chance of
making Il comfortable living and maintaining a de-
cent, clean home a white man, perhaps.
When the children Of day laborcr have the same
chance for good food, fresh air and childish happi-
the children of bank president.
When poor has good chance Of getting
absolute justice in court Of law as rich man.
When the poorest drudge in the city is able to have
home as clean and cheerful mnd, not as costy) as
the richest citizen.
Those, perhaps. aren't all the conditions. But
they few Of them.
Now all of this doesn't by any means call for So
calism, for the coniscation Of private fortunes
anything like that.
II simply calls for ighbOrlincSs.

In keeping with the prosperity

Dan Cupid has been a very active
little fellow hercabouts during 1925
and his attacks have been fatal in
n great many more cases than dur

Records at the office of County
Judge |. c. Davies, who issues the
documents much coveted by those
who have been the victims Of Cupid's
darts, show that IS more marriage
licenses were issued in Burlcigh
county during 1925 than during
1924. In the year 1924 there were
1C5 marriage licenses issued in Bur
leigh county and in 1923 the total
was ia. The total for the gear
closing today is 100.

June. this year, was rightly named
the "month Of brides" for 23 H.

part of the faith by which they would live and die,
thc assertion that all men created equal.
Equality! The word wasn't exactly new one,
nor the idea; but these Americans went at it
in way.
The old idea that equality could be had only
by bringing the upper classes down to the level Of
