is hard to see why tnj holiday
ET except Christmas should bo ob
served by sending presents to
friends yet we seem to be gen
erally falling into that custom wheth
er the day be New Years St Valen
tines St Patricks or Easter If the
fashion spreads no doubt ere long we
shall feet constrained to include the
Fourth of July and election day in the
list of gift sending occasions Even
good things may be run into the
ground
Simple presents for children afford
them joy at Easter For them are
decorated eggs boxes of sweets sugar
rabbits or papier mache ones stuffed
witn sweets Grown people in ac
cordance with the exaggerated gift
bestowing fashion often send expen
sive jewels and to their
friends at Easter Why they should
it is not easy to discover for there is
no reason in it
For St Patricks day there were on
sale pretty picture postcards in vivid
green whereon to speed the compli
ments of the season The same at
tractive idea might be much more gen
erally adapted to Easter than has been
done Postcards in Easter colors
white yellow and green might well
Lave appropriate resurrection and oth
er symbols printed upon them for use
at the joyous yet sacred spring fes
tival There too are artistically
adorned Easter poems
But flower gifts and floral decora
tions at Easter are the best of all
In the warmer climes of Christen
dom there is an annual floral festival
Where flowers are abundant It comes
just preceding Lent and is commonly
called the flower carnival In our
country except in California and now
and then in a southern state there Is
seldom a flower festival of any kind
although there might well be such
even In the northerly part of the land
in May and June
It i3 customary to have shining lilies
pure lilies of eternal peace in our
churches on Easter Sunday But even
there the resources of the Easter col
ors are not brilliantly brought out
Yellow vivid radiant dazzling is not
that the color of the halo of the saints
Have not certain esoteric cults chosen
It as the symbol of developing spir
ituality And in the colder regions of
this land the splendid daffodils Eas
ter flowers they are well named -are
often the only ones in Woom outdoors
nt Easter time They are the first
fruits of the awakening power of the
lun herald of what is to come
The flashing yellow daffodils are
hardy as the hardiest They endure
any amount of freezing Their dried
bulbs may also be taken up from the
home garden in the fall and potted in
Bandy earth and put in a dark place till
nbout two months before Easter then
brought into the light and tended and
they will blossom gloriously at the sa
cred festal time
Our Easter church decorations do not
include half enough of tho significant
rellow in their color schaZne Neither
at this time do we have half enough
flowers of any kind in our homes East
er cards have become tiresome Expen
sive gifts are meaningless besides we
cannot afford them But flowers the
most beautiful of all the Creators gift
xn pt just t little child uij uwys
thei for us They never wear ub
DaK dils lilies snowdrops white aza
leas ostly or small in price m i be
sent as remembrances to our d uest
year u year and they will n t be
bored therewith Indeed the saint va
riety of flower from the same person
to the same year after year becomes a
badge of unfailing remembrance anil
significance

EASTER CUSTOMS
OME of the old Easter customs
are curiously barbarie and
even at the presf ut tune the
observance of this particular
festival is surrounded with more or
less superstitiou jut enough to lend
to it the charm of mystery
Twentieth century maidens don
bright yellow garters secure in their
belief that they will be encaged be
fore the year ends others give their
tresses a hundred strokes three times
with the brush while thinking intently
of their hearts desire and who does
not take good care to wear her new
things on Easter day
Among the earliest of Easter cus
toms are the following
At Queens college Oxford a her
ring placed by the cook to simulate a
man on horseback is set on a corn
salad and brought to the table This
is supposed to represent a red herring
riding away on horseback and is tho
last vestige of the once popular pag
eants of rejoicing
It was erstwhile a habit in English
towns for the boys after the Easter
service to run into the street and
snatch the buckles from the shoes of
the girls whom they were able to
catch
Easter Monday however it was turn
nbout and the women chased the men
If the men refused to pay a sixpence
or happened to wear boots the women
tried to snatch their hats and to re
cover a hat cost a sixpence
In some old towns great cakes were
brought to church and there divided
among the young people
A singular Easter custom was that
of lifting and weaving A man sit
ting contentedly in his home was sur
prised by the servants and women of
his household who entered bearing a
great armchair lined with white and
decorated with ribbons and favors
The man was forced to sit in the chair
and be lifted by the women to each of
whom he must give a sixpence On a
day In Easter week either Monday or
Tuesday the man lifted the women
with similar attendant ceremonies
Edward I was lifted In his bed by
his ladies and maids of honor and a
record shows the payment made by
him to have been some 2000 in six
pences
in older days in England monks at
Easter acted plays in churches the fa
vorite subject being the resurrection
Not only were the plays enacted in
the churches on these festival days
but there was dancing particularly in
the French cathedrals
Even the sun it is said dances on
Easter day
In Ireland great preparations were
made for the last day of Lent Holy
Saturday about 9 oclock a hen and a
piece of bacon were put in the pot and
at 12 oclock there were eating and
much merrymaking At 4 all arose to
see the sua dance in honor of the resur
rection

Summer Tilling Profitable
The experiments conducted on the
Experiment substation at North Platte
during the last seven years and re
ported in Bulletin 118 indicate that
the growing of winter wheat on sum
mer tilled land is profitable This
method promises so much that we
believe it will greatly solve the ques
tion of profitable crop production in
western Nebraska In order to collect
the results of their experience and
give these results to all who are sum
mer tilling or may summer till this
season we are anxious to secure the
names of all the farmers in central
and western Nebraska who have sum
mer tilled for winter wheat or for
other crops Letters from men who
have summed tilled giving their meth
od crops raised yield etc and also
names of men who have summer tilled
or contemplate summer tilling will be
very much appreciated by the under
