boasted a fine marshland the
first man each season to get the

marshlands have now been re-

TROUBLESOME iva

Disagreement among the three adj

ment in Washington, and has re-
suited n the removal of Chairman
Morgan by order of the president
The affairs of Senator Berry and his
claims for millions of dollars against
the Government because lands were
flooded which he had hastily ac-
quired beforehand, disappeared sud-
denly from the headlines when the
spotlight was turned upon the three
Administrators of the Act.

START SOMETHING

There has been just one thorough
ly organized attempt to haul the Ma
ton out of the slump, and the in
dustry that has been doing the haul
ing is motors. The Used Car Sale
was pushed by practically every deaf
er in the country, and the results
doubled ordinary sales, and long
step has been taken TO clear the
surplus of old cars. This is shown
through increased sales of new cars.
1t will be remembered that Presi-
dent Knudsen of General Motors was
the first witness before the Senate
Unemployment Committee to give
hope to the puzzled legislators that
there would be a pickup in the
SPRING. The reason the pickup now
appears to be underway is due to the
fact that all the principal manufac-
turers of cars got together, pooled
their interests, and started some
thing
Now, there is an example that
might we'll be followed by local and
national business men and Interests
everywhere. Start something!

Questions And Answers
WHAT'S WHAT ABOUT SOCIAL
SECURITY

@. lit How would a 65-year old
employee who Is entitled to lump
sum payment OF old-age insurance
calculate the amount of the benefit
due him?
A. TT The lump-sum payment
Of old-age insurance to an eligiable
worker who has reached 65 will be
3h percent of all the wages he
was paid during the entire time he
participated in the old-age insurance
system (from December 81, 1886,
to his 65th birthday.
Many employees keep record Of
their own wage-earnings, week after
week. Most employers in business or
industry, included under the law,
are prepared to furnish a statement
Of wages paid to each employee since
the last day of 1886.
@. 17S If an employee who has
participated in the Governments
old-age insurance system, for almost
a year, should die, what amount
could his relatives claim as payment
of his benefits?
A. 17S uump-sum payments
equal 3A percent of total wages
from covered employment, between
December 81, 1896, and the time the
worker dies. Tin calculating total
wages, nothing over $4,000 year

ANCIENT SYMBOLS OF
RESURRECTION

The first temple to Ceres, the Ro-
man goddess of grain, was built in
1876 b. c. to commemorate the deliv-
arance from a great famine. At the
ancient festival of Ceres it was q
practice to fasten burning brands
20 foxes tails The foxes-or corn
spirits, as they were called-were
turned loose and left to burn, so that
their ashes might charm the grain
and produce an abundant crop. Dur.
ing this festival grain was scattered
about the earth and thrown upon
people, because it represented fertil
ity-the germ of life. Our modern
custom of throwing rice on newly
married couples can be traced to this
old pagan festivity
Long before Christ the Romans
burned newborn calf and scattered
the ashes over the soil to induce the
earth to yield much grain. This Gus
tom was later introduced into China,
and as late as 1904 porcelain images
of cows were presented to farmers in
the spring to bring coed rice crop.
In north Germany, Scotland and
England the shepherds used to wor-
ship Pales, the shepherds god, in the
springtime. The sheep were first pur-
flied by brushing and washing, then
sulphur was burned about them At
night the shepherds lighted great
bonfires and danced among their
sheep by the light of the moon and
the fires. In the morning the shep-
herd looked to the east, toward the
resurrected sun, and washed his
hands in dew. In some sections of
Europe the shepherds still dance at
among their sheep, which
now typifies the slain Lamb of God.
The lamb is one of the earliest
symbols of the resurrection. Among
the Christians of the East a young
lamb is always eaten on Easter Sum
lay. During Passion week hundreds
i spring lambs are brought into the
market places and sold for the East
r feast. This is a great time for the
hildren Of the household, who make
riends with the lamb as soon as 1t !

GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO BE
REORGANIZED
By ]. E. Jones

Washington, ID. C.,-When Will
liam Howard Taft was President he
made Herculean efforts to reorgan-
ize the Government. His ambition
was to make this the supreme
achievement of his Administration.
Woodrow Wilson sought more eff
ficiency through improvements in
Government, but the War brushed
aside all such plans and left the Gov
eminent in chaos.
Herbert Hoover did such splen-
did job in reorganizing the Depart
ment of Commerce that he was pro-
NOTED from his Cabinet post to the
Presidency.
President Roosevelt has opposed
the efforts of Congress to reorganize
the Government, but has set up his
own plan, which has been meeting
with considerable favor in and out of
Congress being feeling that
the complete change in the way ii
running the Government nigh. ee
improved by letting the President
handle matters in the White House
service station, instead of on Capitol
Hill
If you lived in Washington and
earned living outside the Govern
ment service, you would kn>w that
reorganization is one of the greatest
needs of today There Is more hu-
man deadwocd and infficiency in the
Government service than anywhere
else. Members of both branches of
Congress in favor with the Admins
lration party, control more political
patronage and shake more fruit off
The plum tree, than ever before in
the history of the Nation.
The Congress bows to the will of
the President as he takes away from
them their Constitutional powers,
out leaves them patronage and pro-
lects their influence. 1t is all the sell
ishness of politics-of the same
order that has run through Admins
rations through our times. Con-
equently heaven and earth are being
moved on Capitol Hill to reorganize
the Government, but at the same
time to pep up the political machine.

e AS TER!

Once more the whole world re-
joices in the return of Spring and
the resurrection of the earth from
its winter death. This ancient festlv-
al, celebrated from the earliest times
by all inhabitants of the northern
hemisphere, has a special signif1c-
ance for Christians, since the early
Church adopted it as the occasion on
which to celebrate the resurrection of
Christ after His crucifxion. But the
same return of Spring was the great
annual festival of all peoples for
thousands of years before the Chris
tain era. 1t comedies, too, very close
ly with the ancient, Jewish feast of
the Passover, which itself derives
from the primitive universal rejoic-
ing over the rebirth of life as evil
denced by the return of all green
growing things, and the bringing
forth Of their young by the beasts
Of the forest and fields.
There is no mention in Scriptures
of Easter as special day OF cele-
bration, nor Of any other special holy
day. But the fathers who built up
the church founded upon the teach
ings of Christ wisely encouraged the
pagan peoples whom they sought to
win to the new religion to retain
their ancient traditional festivals,
adding to them new significance
and symbolism. Thus it came about
that the old festival of Easter, the
Anglo-Saxon goddess of Spring, came
to be, as an early church historian
wrote, observed with the gladness
of new solemnity,'' and the I'D
name has become English name 70,
the festival which in other langu
ages has a name derived from the
Jewish passover. The Germans cali
it Pass, the French "Paques' the
Italians 'Pasqua" and the Welsh
"Pasg." But in all languages it signi
fies the most sacred and the most
joyful of Christian festivals.
The significance of Easter is the
hope and promise which the resur-
rection of Our Lord holds for every
one, of eternal life for the human
soul and spirit. Just as the return
of the sun from it's winter hiberna-
ton in the South has brought to ali
peoples in all times promise and evil
dence that life does not end when
grasses wither and trees shed their
foliage at the advent Of Winter, but
continues to manifest itself afresh
in new forms, SO the Resurrection of
Christ is a pledge to every faithful
believer in Him who ruleth over all

FARM GROUPS STUDY PROGRAM
OF STATE ORGANIZATION

More than so groups of farmers
and their families are meeting to-
gether monthly in Maryland in plan
nirg groups of the Maryland Farm
Bureau, according to G. E. Wise, Jr.,
secretary of the organization Each
group is made up from IL to 20
families, he reports.
Leaders of the farm bureau in all
counties are studying the job which
organization should do by means Of
these planning or discussion
groups" says Mr.. Wise. Members of
the groups are studying both their
local problems and those dealing
with agriculture in the State and
Nation. The discussion is being
centered around definite questions
Of the program of the organization
in legislation, marketing, production,
cooperative business and other ac-
Invites, either present or proposed"
The discussion group idea accord
ing to Mr.. Wise, has been used by
farm bureau organization of the Mid
West and elsewhere in adapting the
program Of the organization to the
needs of farmers Meeting monthly,
members of the group are in con-
slant touch with the work of the
organization and the needs of its
members, he says.
Inauguration Of the group meeting
idea started with meetings of lead
ers in various sections of Maryland
in January. These were followed by
county meetings attended by leaders
Of each group. Periodic meetings of
leaders in each group by county and
regions are planned to carry the
work of the local groups through to
the state organization.

around it's neck, legs and tail and
hang garlands of flowers about its
body. Often the father finds it diff
cult to separate the lamb from the
child. But lamb must be slaughter
ed for the Easter feast, so two lambs
are usually bought--one for the chill
dren and one for the festival. The
spared lamb becomes the children's
playmate. At bedtime
they argue with each other to decide
who shall sleep with the lamb. Per-
haps this old custom inspired the
famous nursery rhyme. MARY had

Nary went the lamb was sure to co."
