INVENT Y-NZNE YEARS AGO

and penance.
The word Lent is derived from the
old Anglo>Saxod word Lenten, mean
ing spring. There is no mention in
the Scripture of any observance of
Lent or of any determined time for
fasting among Christians. There is
ample proof, however, that Lent in the
general sense of fast preceding Easter
has been known from or nearly from
apostolic times. Irenus, an early
writer, who lourished from 1876 to POP
A. D., speakes of the fast before East
ter. and the different modes of observ-
ing it which prevailed in various
places. He says that these differences
OF observance had arise, "even long
before, in past generation. 1t would.
therefore appear that lenten were
even 10 tie earliest times obligatory.
From the earliest part of the fourth
century EDWARDS there are numerous
references to Lent as period of 40
days For long period the practice
in the Roman Church was to fast six
weeks, excepting Sundays-that is for
36days. The Latin Church at length
added the four days of fasting before
the first Sunday in Lent, which then
began, as now, on Ash Wednesday.
This new discipline is recognized in
canon IS of the Concil of Meaux, held
III A. D. 846 AT various times Lent
has been observed in many ways. 1t
was regarded as season in former
days, as the faithful begged mercy for
themselves, they were expected to show
it to others. The money saved in fast
ing it was the customary to give in
aims The imperial laws in the Christ
ain era in Rome and Constantinople
forbade criminal processes and while
the church reconciled penitents at the
alters, the empors released prisoners,
masters pardoned their slaves, and
enemies became friends. It was
season of mourning, and, therefore,
the church discountenaned strongly
all kinds of festivities during Lent.
The body was also mortified by fasting,
and, accordingly, communions, SER
mons and spiritual exercises are in
cluded in the observance of the Lenten
season.

EMERGENCY FEED CROPS

Plans for emergency feed crops for
1881 should be given considerable at
tention by the farmers.
The earliest and most reliable for
this section is probably oats They
should be sown as early in March as
the ground can be worked at the rate
OF two bushels to the acre. Oats can
be used as hay crop if cut when the
grain is IN the bought state, or if they
promise to yield well in grain can be
left to mature and fed in the bundle
or threshed. Dat straw if threshed
should be blown under cover as it
makes an excellent roughage.
One of the cheapest early crops to
sow for pasture is Rape Dwarf Essex
Rape makes an excellent pasture for
hogs and can be used for sheep and
cattle if care is used in turning them
on it. The seed can be purchased for
about ten cents pound and eight
pounds to the acre is sufficient feed.
Rape should be sown on good ground
for the best results, Soy beans and
COW peas are of course the best for
the years crop when it is a point
annual crops. Considerable rough
age can be grown by planting corn
thick or by the use of sorghum cane
and Sudan grass
Plans now for variety of feed crops
especially to produce long feed may
save many dollars to the farmer next
winter.
All of these crops readily respond to
the use of fertilizers and on the early
crops, especially the oats, the use of
some nitrate fertilizers will hasten
and produce more leaf growth.

The Season of LeRt

The holy season of Lent began on
Wednesday, and will be observed in
the Roman Catholic and Episcopal
churches for the ensuring 40 days It
preceedes the festival of Easter, which
commentaries the resurrection of the
Saviour, and is kept after the example
of Moses Elias and the Christ himself,
in order to prepare the faithful there
for. 1t is also observed, of course,
because of the spiritual advantages to
accure from long period of fasting

y OSALIND ASHLEY entered the
restaurant, chose seat at a va
cant table by the wall. She was
young and pretty and wore a wedding
ring. The day was only half done,
and already she had explained to
scores of amazed acquaintance that,
mo, she was not married; the ring was
merely part of sorority initiation
She was determined to eat her luncA
in peace, and so she had chosen a res
taurant where she did not expect to
encounter any of her friends. Surely,
If she were among strangers, a we'd
ding ring could not prove to be a dis
turbing element.
A young man, pulling a small child
by the hand, entered the restaurant.
He sighted the table where Rosalind
sat, with its two vacant chairs, and
headed for it. He lifted the child to
the seat next to Rosalind, and chose
for himself the place opposite her.
1t was rather nice, Rosalind thought,
to see a father take his baby girl
out to lunch
The child squirmed, displayed dim
pies, caught sight of the green parrot

Rosalind's face crimsoned; so did

ton. IT'S not to play WITH" she ex-
planned sweetly. "It's just a buckle

But seeing was not enough for Dot

of delight, grabbed the parrot with
both chubby fists, and tore it from its

GREAT NATIONAL
 LEAGUE RACE SET AS FAVORlTES LOSE
Brooklyn Robins in Midst of Winning Streak Over Champions = Athletics Push Ahead
BY DIXON STEWART

(Umted Press Stan COrrestDOndent)
 New York, June 29-(UP)-With five clubs, all boosting better than .50O averages, punches within seven games of the top. the 1881 Na- ttonal league pennant race promises to develop into the most thrilling fight of recent years. 5Tt
 Failure of the early season favor ites, St Louis, New York and Chi cago, to play consistent ball has en- abled the Brooklyn Robins and Bos- ton Braves to climb into the race and with the season nearing the halfway mark each of the first five clubs has chance to win hon ors.
 Giants Deal With Cards.
 Further tightening of the race was in prospect to-day as the league leading St Louis Cardinals moved into New York for four-game series with the second place Giants. While the two leaders are engaged in cut-throat rivalry the other three contenders will lhave an opportunity to profit from competition with lowly second division rivals.
 Brooklyn's Robins, counted out of the race after their poor early sea- son slump, continued their recent success yesterday by beating the St Louis Cards, 10 to 4. It was the over the league leaders and game them a 4 toN1 edge on the series.
 Two More Wins.
 John McGraw's New York Giants took advantage of the opportunity to gain on the Cards and grabbed a doubleheader from the Cincinnati Reds, IT to 5 and to 2. The Gi- ants hammered three pitchers for 21 hits to take the first game and added il blows in the second.
 The Chicago Cubs dropped one game to the Boston Braves, g to 1, and were held to 2 to 2 tie in the second, remaining 1-2 games behind the Cards and three games behind the Giants.
 Philadelphia and Pittsburg were not scheduled.
 Senators Falter.
 nA the American league, the Phil adelphia Athletics gained a full game of the second place Washing ton Senators and increased their lead to 2 1-2 games. The Athletics won a doubleheader from Detroit, g to and 5 to l, while the Sena- tors broke even with Chicago, losing the first tilt, to l, and taking the nightcap. to l.
 Washington coasted to victory in the second game behind the four-hit pitching of Brown and Crowder.
 The St Louis Browns ran their winning streak to eight games. de- feating Boston twice, both times by a 5 to score.
 New York and Cleveland played scoreless ball for five and a half in- nings before starting sluGging duel which ended with New York on the long end of a g to count.

The first motion of the backswing should be made by the legs or hips. In other words, the weight should be shifted first, followed by the turn of the hips. If one starts the hands first, the club is lifted up- right. This is a characteristic mo- tion of the beginner who swings the club as though, it were an axe.
 That the arms start before any wrist action takes place is clearly shown in slow motion pictures of the stars. Nearly all experts let the clubhead lag behind the arm motion during the first few inches cates that it is a relaxed one

Packers Refuse
Shippers Offer

Demanding a wage scale of nine
cents per crate, the packers union
at its meeting last night in Brawley
refused to accept the 81 cents COM
promise with recognition of the un-
ion, offered by the growers COM
mittee at the join conference of
shippers and packers held Tues
day evening.
If the unions demand is not ac-
cepted, the packers will go on
strike tomorrow morning.
1t is now up to the individual
shipper, declared Fred R. Bright
today, one of the local representa-
tiyes on the shippers committee,
as to whether he will pay the nine
cents demanded by the union or
not. III any event, if it is paid,
there will be no recognition of the
union by the shippers who may or
may not use union labor in the
packing sheds. Efforts will be
made by many firms to break in
new men, while some will probably
pay the nine cent wage scale.
