OBSERVING HOLY WEEK
‘ " Throughout the nation, communicants
jof the Episcopal and Catholic churches
'are observing this week in prayer and in
:attendance on religious services,
| Holy Week immediate precedes Easter
‘and is set apart to the commemoration of
‘'the Passion of the Redeemer.
[ Good Friday, in many cities throughout
the nation, is observed by the suspension
of business and in attending services at
the Episcopal and Catholic churches, as
the day of the erucifixion.
The following references to Holy Week
should be of especial interest to communi
cants of the churches observing this sa
cred season: i
The most significant period of the
Christian year is Holy Week, the week be
fore Easter, beginning with Palm Sunday,
which this year fell on April 10,
Palm ‘Sunday commemorates Christ’s
triumphal entry into Jerusalem and the
strewing of palm branches in His path by
the multitude. . L&
Maunoy Thursday commemorates the
Last Supper and the washing of the disci
ples’ feet; also Christ’s agony in Geth
semane and his betrayal by Judas.
Good Friday represents the day of the
crucifixion and is celebrated in Catholic
and Anglician churches with great solem
nity. et 4N
Faster Even is the name given to the en
tire day of twenty-four hours between
Good Friday and Easter, a period for
prayer and religious contemplation.
Easter Sunday, the most joyous day of
the Christian calendar, commemorates the
resurrection and this year falls on April
17. lln the early history of the church,
Baster was observed on various dates by
different bodies of Christians, but the
Council of Nice in the year 325 fixed it
as the first Sunday following the full
moon occurring on or next after the ver
nal equinox,
RKaster Sunday may come as early as
March 22 or as late as April 25, and its
date governs all ecclesiastical days from
Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent,
to Trinity Sunday, eight weeks after Eas

ADVOCATES MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
The Forestry industry has grown to be
one of potential value, especially is this
true when seedlings are planted on idle
or waste lands. Such lands that have lost
soils by their erosion can be brought back
and made paying producers on a large
scale. This condition has proven true in
many of the foreign countries where
waste land was an entire loss to the own
ers. In a lengthy| discussion of the sub
ject by Nelson C. Brown, professor of for
‘estry at the New York College of Forestry,
he suggests that municipalities invest in
waste lands as being one of the safest and
most renumerative investments open to
towns and cities. His plan, in part, sets
up the following arguments in favor of in
vestments in waste lands:
“My plan, in brief, is this: Let small
towns and cities buy all the waste land
within a radius of fifteen miles and plant
this land with trees that will grow best in
the territory. Not only will this give em
ployment to many men, but other benefits
are apparent. The forest growth will stop
erosion; it will beautify the usually ugly
land on the outskirts of most cities, and
later it will bring money to the city or
town treasury.”
There is much in favor of the plan as
suggested by Prof. Brown. While muni
cipalities might not legally, under their
charter, make such investments, it is, how
‘ever, an industry in which individuals
could enter and realize handsome returns
from their investments. In this section,
there are thousands of acres of waste land
that could not only be rehabilitated, but
made profitable to owners by planting in
trees of all kinds, especially the pine.
In Berlin they have a municipal owner
ship plan which has proved successful, In
one tract of waste land, consisting of 10.
000 acres, the monetary return last year
’was more than $300,000. It is claimed
lthat these forests are paying more than
the expense of the conduct of the munici
;pality. | R L]
| If the plan works successfully in Ger
'many, Switzerland and other foreign na
ltions, there is no reason why it would not
Iprove just as profitable in the United
States. A trial, we believe, would be con
vincing of the value of improved forests,
especially on waste or idle lands,
' VOLUNTEER SOLDIERS RETURNING
| Many American sympathizers who went
lto Spain to fight on one side or the other
;in the revolution in that country, have
‘died from diseases as well as from rifle
‘bullets and cannon balls of the enemy.
Quite recently a number returned to their
native soil, emaciated, wounded and dis
eased, many of them to become charges
on the various communities where they re
sided hefore volunteering. It is alleged
that thousands of these Americans have
been killed and no record has been made
of their names and address. Should their
relatives in the states undertake to trace
them, it is said that neither the Spanish
government nor the Revolutionists would
be able to furnish the information.
These volunteers did so on their own
acount, feeling a sympathy for one side
or the other, and without pay for their
services, exeept a uniform and food
while engaged in service. If this condi
tion is true, their entrance into this war is
unexplainable. Why an American should
be influenced in favor of either side is be
yond our comprehension, but evidently
they were influenced by prejudice, since
it is announced that the Spanish govern
ment nor the Revolutionists paid these

DID IT EVER
OCCUR TO U
A LITTLE OF EVERYTHING—
NOT MUCH OF ANYTHING
BY HUGH ROWE
The announcement of the
election of Oscar B. Mcßae ‘to
the presidency of the Athens
Rotary club will be received
with much interest on the part
of his many friends. s
| Since coming to Athens, Mr.
'Mcßae has made a large group of
friends. He has been prominently
identified with several civie organ
izations and has taken a live in
terest in all community affairs
He is joipt agent of the Seaboard
and Gainesville Midland railroads,
being recognized as one of the
outstanding railroad officials in this
section. His term of office in Ro
tary begins on the first of July,
‘and until that time President Sam
Nickerson will continue in office.
J. H. Epting, member of the
Civil Service Commission, and
one of Athens' most progressive
business men has been ill, at
his home, for the past few
days.
Mr. Epting enjoys the friendship
of a large circle of friends, all of
whom feel greatly concerned over
his illness. His presence on the
streets and in his office has been
missed not only by his business
connections, but by his numerous
friends. It is their hope and de
sire that he will soon recover and
be among them again.
While the work of securing
deeds for the right-of-way on
the Athens-Monroe-Atlanta
highway is progressing, it is
highly important to close the
matter immediately,
The members of the State
Highway Board are extreme
ly anxious for the contrac
tor to commence grading, but
until all deeds to the property
abutting the highway is signed,
work will be held in abeyance.
Those who have not signed deeds
should do suv at once as the pro
ject 18 of too much importance to
Athens to be allowed to fail on
account of failure or refusal of
property owners to cooperate, The
matter must be closed this week,
if the highway is to be secured for
Athens. Further delay will cause
the loss of this trunk highway for
this city.
Secretary Joel Wier, of the
Chamber of Commerce, and
the members of the special
committee have worked un
ceasingly for securing the
~ deeds. E
However, their efforts have not
quite completed the project and
until that has been accomplizhad
the State Highway Board will not
take a chance by ordering the wock
to be commenced in advance of the
receipt of the deeds. Propertv
owners ‘who have been undecided #¢
to their purpose of aiding the pro
ject should not hestitate or delay
longer. It is a proposition in which
‘all citizens will benefit, and to be
responsible for the defeat of the
improvement would be, indeed un
fortunate.

Department records in Wash

Adventure With Women by
Sophie Kerr. Farrar and Rine
hart, N. Y. Price $2.00.
The strong personalities of two
women, both stubborn, headstrong,
and domineering, is successfully
put into a story “Adventure With
Women” by Sophie Kerr.
Mrs. Mary Lavret, society lead
er, tries not only to manage the
social life of the town, but also
the life of her grandson, George
Lavret, wealthy yvoung business
man. €eorge falls in love and
marries Sarah Cates. From the
first the marriage seems imyos
sible because of the fact that Sa
rah, who hopes to be a. great
pianoist puts her music before her
husband. Mary, who has always
managed the home, continues to
do so. Her hopes for her grandson
have been that he would marry an
other girl, and so she tries to drive
the practice of roping and riding
buffaloes.
“Attention of all officers is call
ed to Par 107-AR-in which it pro
vides under uniform regulations
that all officers will wear beards.”

situations arise from this predict
