The petitioners “asserted they could produce witnesses to ‘prove that Long was “personally dishonest, ‘corrupt and immoral,” and that his con- ‘tinuance in office is “repulsive to the ‘respectable and law-abiding citizens of Louisiana and the nation.” And The Citi- ‘zen concurs in the latter statement.

EASTER | Easter is observed by ° Christians in commemoration of the ‘resurrection of Christ, but its observanee is really an out- growth of the Jewish Passover. There is no mention of Easter in the New Testament, nor in the writings of the apostolic fathers. In fact, neither Christ nor any of his apostles suggested the keep- ing of this or any other festival. But as most of the early Christians were drawn from the Jewish church, it was natural that many of the old Jewish festivals continued to be observed by them and gradually passed into the Christian calendar. In the ancient church the celebration of Easter lasted eight days, but after the eleventh century it was’ limited to three, later to two, and finally to one. The proper time for the observance of Easter has been the subject of bitter | controversy among various Christian groups, and at one time no less than seven “Hasters” were celebrated in a single year. In faet, the Greek chureh did not adopt | the date used by the rest of the world until 1928, so that only during the last ten years has all of Christendom observed Easter simyltaneously. According to present usage, which conforms to the date established by the Council of Nice in the year 325, Easter can not fall upon a date earlier than March 22, nor.later than April 25; it having been de- creed that it should be the first Sunday after the full moon following the vernal equinox. The last time Easter fell on March 22 was in 1818, after which about three centuries must ¢lapse before it oceurs on that date again. It fell on April 25 the last time in 1843, but will not occur so late in any year of the present century. PROSPERITY The cheerful news that what we call prosperity is returning is being broad- cast from every section of the country. Business is improving in all sections. Not booming, but improving. The busi- ness snowball is as yet a‘small and un- impressive affair, but it is rolling along and getting a bit bigger with each roll. 3 The: expensive folly, rather than the ‘noble experiment, of prohibition is prac- tically a thing of the past. The immense brewing industry, once the fourth largest in the country, is awakening and in a few weeks will begin to show its effect on general business. Banks and bankers, necessary to our buiness development, are’ recovering from a serious bit of political surgery. Government expenditures have been curtailed, with a ‘consequent impending tax relief, soy ee VE Our relations with foreign peoples are being handled in a much more intelligent manner. As a result we are in a: position to expect an early resumption of our for- eign trade and a consequent improvement in the general condition. . _ On all sides we have unselfish action and where there is unselfish action, there is intelligent action. Prosperity in the very near future is as certain as that the sun will continue rising each morning. (Times-Union) A side line with quite a kick con- neeted with it is helping Florida coast fishermen to meet the depression these days and lay considerable money by de- sides. Sharks, which abound off both | Florida coasts in large numbers, have j been removed from the debt side of the ledger and placed on the credit side. The Panta Gerda Herald says a few years ago when sharks were messing around tang- ling nets and bothering fishermen, they } were considered a nuisance, unfit to eat ‘ and unfit for anything but fertilizer, per- t haps. Now fishermen seek the sharks. They have a trade value. Their hides are tanned and can be made into all kinds of useful things. Numerous stations have been set up to buy sharks now, and the fishermen have found out that the things | that can be done with them are numerous. Shagreen, the hard rough protective coat- | ing on the shark’s skin, can be removed } with an acid solution, The result is a | leather light and strong that has no equal. | Sharks’ bones are used for buttons and j other things. The livers yield an oil that fis very valuable. All parts of the shark } are now used and fishermen are cashing lin the Herald says, | | 2999600000800 S 20S OOS TORESEDOOREOOECOOCESOE S Daily Cross-word Puzzle Cecccccecopecsccacccocccoocosneceoeee Solution of Yesterday’s Puzzle Noxious plant 16: Gave one’s word 18.

The well located on the Thomp- son property was pumped for two hours yesterday“and. produced 30) gallons of oil. The well has been sunk 18 feet but it has not been decided to what depth the dril- ling will go. William A. Lincoln, of the Polk Directory company, arrived in Key West this morning, and will! start at once in securing the data for compiling a directory of Key West.

The fish was four feet long, weighed 30 pounds, had leaped four feet to,.go through the port and was afterwards eaten for supper. From a recent report’ issued by the state secretary of the Florida Woman’s Missionary Society, Key West is listed as having the lead in membership.
