Some of the elections will be held

parishes they will he held at night.
Two wardens are elected in each
parish, and they are particularly
charged with the upkeep of the prop

exercised in these days.
Eight Vestrymen also are elected.

eight eligible persons are elected.

Christ is risen. Hallelujah!


Throughout Christendom men,
women and children are today rejoic-
ing in the Easter festival, a time of
gladness and flowers. Although Easter
has long been a Christian. holiday,
celebrating the bodily resurrection of
Christ. this feast day is thousands of
years older than Christianity. Even
the name is borrowed from the pagan
goddess Eastre or Ostara, the Anglo.
Saxon goddess of Spring, which sig.
miles rising" in allusion to the re-
Juvenation of nature in Spring
The theme of Easter is as old as
humanity. To each age OF culture it
has had a special meaning, but per.
maps to all 1t has had much the same
significance. Little is known of the
connection of the Hebrew feast and
the English celebration, yet in the
passing of the feast from the Semitic
TO the Aryan people and the interweav.
ing of these two cultures there has
been blending of customs that from
time to time have been Il part of the
feast of the Passover.
The celebration of Easter in the
early days of the Christian Church in
cluded the observance of the Lord S
supper, baptism of candidates, freeing
of slaves. liberation of prisoners and
other demonstrations of joy. AT that
time there was no rule for determining
the date on which Easter should fall
Much later. however. certain unfor-
tunate controversies arose regarding
the exact day on which the resurreC.
tion of Christ should be commemo-
rated After long discussion the time
was definitely fixed during the reign
OF Charlemagne, and the present mode
of computing it's annual occurrence
was ordained by Pope Gregory XIII.
Many Ancient Customs.
There were many beautiful customs
in those days associated with the
celebration of Easter One of par
ticular interest was for Christians to
salute each other with the words,
reverently spoken: Christ is risen"
The person addressed would, in
turn. reply: Christ is risen, indeed. ;"
This practice is still retained by
the followers of the Greek Church
the world over.
The ceremony of the Holy Sepulchre.
originating in Jerusalem, having it's
rise in the old mystery plays, also
was of peculiar interest. This was
considered one of the most beautiful
and touching rites in ancient church
ceremonials. 1t pertained to the
burial of the cross. Following it's
alteration on Good Friday the cross
was washed with wine and water.

MEXICAN CLAIMS
DECISIONS GIVEN
Commission Holds Mexico
Liable for Obligations of
Huerta in 1884.


Five decisions laying down impor-
tant policies for future disposition of
claims were announced yesterday by
the American-Mexican Claims Com
mission.
Under them Mexico mtist recognize
obligations incurred by the govern
ment of yictoriano Huerta in 1914,
but is not liable under acts of AdOlfo
de la Huerta, who led revolt against
the Obregon administration in 1924.
The commission held it was without
jurisdiction to decide claims arising
out of American occupation Of Vera
Cruz in 1914, except where Mexican
citizens were damaged by wrongful
administrative acts of the American
authorities.
Held Under Treaty.
In oVerruling motion to dismiss
the claims of the Illinois Central Rail
road for locomotives sold to the gov.
ernment railway administration the
commission held that breach of con
tract claims fall within the treaty
setting up the commission. Had Mex
icoS contention in this case prevail.
ed probably half of the $500 Amer
lean claims filed would have been de.
cided unfavorably.
The commission also interpreted
the so-calIed "Calvo clause" regarding
breach of contract, which has been a
bone of contention in Latin American
countries for nearly so years. 1t sus-
tanned MeXico's motion to dismiss the
claim OF the North American Dredg-
ing Co. of Texas for losses alleged to
have been suffered from breach of a
contract entered for dredging Salina
Cruz.
Agreement Aided Dismissal.
Dismissal was based on the ground
that the claimant had agreed that if
any difficulties arose it would exhaust
all remedies afforded by Mexican law
before appealing TO the United States
Such an agreement, it was said, was
binding.
1t was held, however, that had the
contract attempted to prevent the
claimant from requesting it's govern
ment to intervene if the occasion de-
manded such d provision would have
been invalid.
