Washington children were the first , to play at rolling eggs, but there Is • no chronicle which sets forth when and how the pastime came to be. The first reference to egg-rolling ’ which has been found occurs In the ‘ Evening Star of Easter Monday, 1874. and that reference has to do with ■ some interruption of the egg-rolling - at the capitol by ruffians. The reasonable inference is that the custom I of rolling eggs at the capitol was then '! an old one. When Washington was | young the small, fenced park about ; , the capitol was the only one in Washington improved with turf, trees and Howers. It was the habit of school children to have an Easter picnic, and - with their teachers aud their baskets , of lunch they would go to the Capitol park. At the west front of the capitol were steep sodded terraces. In I sitting at the top of these terraces 1 ■ and eating their lunches, of which dyed Easter eggs formed part, some > child or children discovered that the - colored eggs would roll down the terraces. In that way the custom started and became a part of the Easter festival in Washington. When the incident of 1874 occurred there were several thousand children rolling eggs down the sodded banks. Congress In 1875, noting that because of the Easter egg-rolling it was hard to keep . grass on the terraces, forbade the . practice, but egg-roll Ing festivities were observed in 1876 and 1877 Just I the same. On Easter Monday, 1878, the children were turned away from the capitol grounds. The word passed ’ from child to child, and the march to the White House was taken up. They invaded the executive grounds and began rolling eggs, and the custom survives. Mexican Easter Custom. (SKESTI i k ■ , W I !

XLLij: •7UGGrr>TIGNS ON HOW TO clear Timber tracts r triillajjapuHe, Mat 29— Tim time is h>.re f<>r the annual sprint clean up on Indiana farpts und unb-f.s case Is exercised It means that much valuable timber a ill be sacrificed through care l< srhoss. in the opinion of Charles C. ' lieam, stale fotestc r under the conorvatiufi department Mr. team says that in the past hunters have beep blamed for most of the fprost fires. He exonerates them ami places the blame on land owners and tenants a ho, in cleaning up the premises, grow oafeless and permit fires io spread. In order that our rapidly disappearing timber stocks be carefully guarded, Mr. Deam suggests the following pre4'autlons concerning fires on the I farm. Don't start a fire on a windy day. Don't start a fire in field or woods if there is danger of it escaping to i adjoining woods or field. If fire must ,be started in such a place, stand i guard over it. It is excellent policy to plow a few 1 1arrows around the field or in the [woods, thus establishing a fire liue land making it easy to keep the flames within a desired fire zone. Don't leave a fire at night without first raking all combustible material far away. it is best not to leave a fire at night if it is possible to extinguish it. The state law provides a penalty for anyone setting fire to a woods or who 'permits fire to escape from his land to that of another. The fine in such a case, upon conviction. Is not less than 15 and not more than |SO. Furthermore the guilty one shall be liable for full damage sustained therefrom. Mr. Deam suggests, in view of the serious lack of timber in our commonwealth. that Indiana's slogan be "plant more trees and do not burn what we possess.” GET YOUR Lawn Grass Seed Blue Grass Seed White Clover Seed Dwarf Essex Rape Seed Armour’s 4-8-6 Garden Fertilizer FROM Adams County Equity Exchange 722 W.
