- i SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 19, 1919. ~Pretty Custom of ** Giving Easter Eggs .. IsCenturies Old HE CUSTOM of giving eggs as Easter presents, though ‘very ancient and widely popular in Europe, 18 comparatively new in this country. It has had remarkable devel- opments within the last few years. Thus, an American millionaire gave his small son a pony carriage made in & the shape of an egg, on wheels, cov- ered on the outside with white lacquer and lined on the inside with white satin. A South African diamond king not long ago had an Easter egg made to hold the trousseau of his bride. It was nine feet long. i Not less extraordinary was an Easter egg made by a Paris establish- ment for a Spanish infanta. Though of no great size, it cost $4,000, being of white enamel and containing a me- N chanical bird'that sang a dozen songs from popular operas. Confectioners in American cities at Easter time sell immense numbers of candy eggs, as well as egg-shaped boxes, satin-covered or otherwise de- signed, for holding bonbons. . Bggs.of silver and gold are made to ; contain' gifts; and the jewelers offer beautiful jewel boxes shaped like eggs, for Easter presents, some of them ornamented with precious stones, The ornamentation:of Easter eggs with elaborate designs .and, figures of saints was an important branch of art in the monasteries of the middle ages. “‘These were real eggs, and after being blessed, were eaten on Easter Sunday. The ancient Egyptian looked upon the egg as & symbol of the creation. Among the Iraelites of old it was re- o garded as emblematic of their emer- 7 gence from bondage. The Christians adopted it was symbolic of the Res - arpection. ; " Did Lulu Get 1t? ) The artist witnessed the start of the diminutive express wagon here portrayed, but he does not know what happened afterward. THE EASTER LILY. When Easter bells began to ring And Easter day arose An angel found beside the church » A wreath of winter snows, "™ The April sun had failed to melt { . ‘The tiny drift away, f And, sparkling coldly in the light, Still frozen hard it lay. * The angel todk the frosty flakes, And tenderly he wrought, With Toving care and patienca rare, The blossom o6f his thought. Each perfect petal grew apace, And last of all, behold, He fashioned, full of rich perfume, A heart of gleaming gold. With dreams of shining robes he worked And golden Eates ajar ! And shaped the fair and finished flowes In memory of a star; Then, gliding in the anclent church, ‘Where all was dark and stilly, Upon the crimson altar cloth He laid the Easter lily. ~Minna Irving Plan to Get Auto Thieves. An Insurance agency at Beardstown. 711, has a new scheme for apprehend ing antomobile thieves. Policemen are advised to write the numbers of re ported stolen cars in Indelible Ink on thelr wrists, Then as machines go by, the agency points out, they can be on the alert for missing cars by compar ing the numbers. R The Kid and the Pepper. . When the Woodsfleld (D.) schools st reopened after an eptdemle of the & “flu” had passed it was decided to send all pupils home who showed any signs of the disease.

Oouncil Bluffsy Ia.—Because he hid behind the laws governing the mill- tary service of aliens and refused to fight for America in the war, Carl Sten- strom of this city has been debarred from American citizenship. Stenstrom had applied for natural- 1zation, but the judge not only refused to grant it, but placed In the court records an order that the applicant never should be permitted to become a citizen, " Stenstrom is a native of Sweden. He had taken out his first papers when he was drafted and sent to camp. After three weeks he applied for a discharge on the ground that he was not an American citlzen. HIis release was granted. ENGLISH MIDDLE CLASS FORM UNION Combine to Protect Selves From Aggressions of Capital and Labor, Members of the ‘great middle class of England at last hawp taken steps to organize to protect their own inter- ests agninst the -aggressions of cap- ftal on the one hand and increasing wages of workmen on the other. Lead- ers of the middle class Ueclare that only by organization can they escape an unfair share of the burdens of life. . . English people of education and moderate incomes have felt for some time that they were being ground be- tween the upper and nether millstones operating in the soclal mill. Profits of capitalists from war contracls have increased and the wages of workmen steadily advanced. But nobody had to have the services of the: profession- al man, the small business man or the schoolmaster. A A preliminary meeting was held un- @er the chairmanship of Maj. J. R. Pretyman Newman, member of parlia- ment. It was declded to call the or- ganization the “Middle Class union.” Among the purposes of the union arey “To remove undue burdens upon the middle class, including the cost of liv- ing. “To protect the middie class against bureaucratic and industrinl tyranny. “To combine for common protection of those members of the community who have no organization to safeguard thelr interests.” Letters appearing in support of the unlon show that many army officers and other soldiers are deeply inter ested in the movement. One.soldier wrote : “Unless we of the middle classes or ganize and combine to thwart and de- stroy the anarchical aggressions of cer talp communities in the industrial world we will sooner or later be bol- shevikied out of existence.” How the middle class union will be received In the political fleld by the capitalists and the trade unions which uow monopolize it remains to be seen. NAME DERIVED FROM SAXON Eastor Known to Have Been a Celo bration Time of the Heathen Goddess Ostara. Not until the early sixties did the Presbyterians take note of Easter. And New England was the last section of our country to bend—or unbend—in the direction of the Faster celebra- tion. The name Easter, which Is In use only among the English and Ger~ man e&peaking peoples, is undoubtedly derived from that of the heathen Sax- on’s goddess, Ostara, Osteir or Fas- tre. She was the personification of the East, of the spring and of the morning, the month of April being dedicated to her and called “Easter- monath” by the Saxons and Angles. It i stiil called in Germany Ostermonat. Yet Easter sometimes falls in March, as the church calendar prescribes that it shall fall upon the first Sunday after the fourteenth day of the moon that happens to relgn at the vernal equinox, which is March 21. One writer says: “Non-Teutonic nations cling to the Semitic word derived from the Ara- maic word pesach, ‘to pass by,’ which has been translated into English as Passover. In England the Semitic form survives in many terms appli- cable to’ the season, as pass flower, paschal 1amb and pasch, pace or pase egps. These terms remind us that our Christian festival fs the successor to the Jewish Passover, while the word tons which from the earlfest ages of man have expressed the universal out- burst of rejolcing over the reawaken- ing of nature after the long sleep of winter.” Personal Easter Gift. The giving of photographs at the Bastertide is a custom that is becom- ing established In America, although the idea seems to have come from abroad. The Idea is to “go and get took,” then send the photograph to your friends with a little note of Easter greeting, What Show? New York.—A set of false teeth are awaiting their owper.

Thomas Woodward has bought a horse from C. W. Dudley. The town board looked over the roads on Saturday, with a view to getting some work done on them in the near future. George Bogart and wife were in Blackduck on Saturday. They were accompanied home by their daugh- ter, Mrs. James Angell, who visited a few days with her folks at Long Siding. Miss Ruth Jennings visited a few hours on Saturday with her sister, Miss Elsie. Robert C. Shaw went to Blackduck on Saturday and visited with friends in Bemidji over Sunday.

The question at bottom is one of the quality of the life. The great resurrection 1s that which carries a human soul from its baser nature to the very top of its capacity for good- ness, Thus considered, it is"not an event, but a process, and one that lasts through life. There must be a “dafly proceeding In all virtue and godliness of living.” “'Tis a lifelong tofl till our lump be leaven,” but the toll is worth while, if the leaven is, And that is the point. Kipling puts the case very strongly: | That May Have Come From Stress of War ASTER is the feast of new life, and the pledge of immortality. But the older we grow the more clearly do we see that the new life 1s simply the old life redeemed and purified and ennobled. For the resurrection 1s from the death of sin to the life of righteousness. It is precisely so with immortality. For life, if it survives the grave, will &im- ply go on—indeed, the life that is to survive is going on now. If there is such @ thing as fmmortality, it is a present possession. Men have been fond of dealing with Easter as a theo- logical or metaphysical abstraction. But this is not true of the New Tes- tament writers—to them it was a very practical thing, with a direct bearing on conduct. “If ye then be risen with hoRY CLEA 1OCANS NING N & STAHL-JACOBS Furniture Renovators All work guaranteed: Work called for and de- livered.
