that the mud will clog the storm

AFTER JAcKsoN,s SCALP

In statement issued Saturday,
o. e. Weller, former United States
Senator. pointed out what he deemed
the proper qualifications for a Re-
publican National Committeeman,
and then asserted. that the record Of
William p. Jackson, OF salisbury,
shows that Mr.. jackson possesses
none of these qualifications.
Mr.. Jackson is the present Nation
al Committeeman and is candidate
for reelection. Mr.. Weller, although
he has refused to make public his
position, is considered a candidate
for committeeman.
Mr.. Weller's statement is a direct
reply to a statement made several
days previous by Mr.. Jackson, who
declared that he knew of no attempt
being made to eliminate Mr.. Weller
from the position of influence, he
now holds in the Republican party
and that he (Mr. Jackson) had no
personal desire for the elimination
OF the. former Senator.

TO FIND EASTER

Even the youngest knows by this
time that Easter does not come on
the same day of the month year after
year like Christmas. Here is the
rule for finding when it will come:
Thirty days hath September"
Every person can remember;
But to know when Casters come,
Puzzles even scholars some.
When March the .twenty-first is
past,
Just watch the silvery moon;
And when you see it full and
round
Easter will be here soon.
After the moon has reached its
full,
Then Easter will be here,
The very Sabbath after,
In each and every year.
And if it hap on Sabbath
The moon should reach its height,
The Sabbath following this event,
Will be the Easter bright. On

EASTER EGGS PAST AND
y PREEENT

The custom of associating eggs
with Easter, like many other GUS
toms of Christian festivals, was de-
rived from pagan usages. Eggs had
been associated with the worship OF
Ashtoreth, Of the Astrate Of the
Phonecians, Isis of Egypt, Diana OF
the Greeks and Romans and Eostre
of the Teutons worshiped in spring.
Easter is said by some to have deriv-
ed its name from the latter goddess;
others say it was named for an old
pagan spring festival in honor Of the
suns new birth in the east. It's
time coinciding with that of the Res
direction, the symbol was taken over
by the council ofNNice 1902 years
ago, and the day of celebration
fixed as the first Sunday after the
paschal full moon, the season Of the
Hebrew Passover. The egg with its
life germ, destined to burst forth ar
ter the appearance of death, became
popularity associate with the general
idea of resurrection, just as a sign of
mans regeneration, and the jews as
symbol of their delivery from
bondage.
The. lore of Easter eggs touches
on many phases of life in many diff
ferent countries. Under old eccles-
iastical laws In England rent was
payable in eggs OF Easter; games
were played with them; and in the
North of England chiIdfen asked for
them to play with. q.
The custom of dyeing Easter eggs
is centuries old. Cpmmoners for
the most part dyed them red as a
symbol of Christ's blood. Lords
and ladies covered theirs with gold
leaf Later the. decorations were
elaborated, particularly in the COM
tinental Europe. Sometimes the
eggs were merely marbled in varie-
ty Of colors; sometimes they bore
cupids and love knots, flaming heart
and signs OF the zodiac. Again,
they would beahalved and the shells
hinged together with ribbon and
lined with gilt paper and religious
pictures. Venetians used to send
out gift eggs bearing their portraits
