The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward McDonald of Corunna, and has been em - ployed in ‘the: local telephone exchange ~for nearly two years. The bridegroom the son: of Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Eckhart North Main street, is engaged in the retail shoe business at Ligonier. Both are ''well known yvoung people and have many friends in ‘the community.

Taking Annual Invoice, _ Ligonier merchants and smanufacturers are now taking their annual invoice. Business generally ‘in this city ‘has been good, the amount in yolume being equal to former years, but profits show a slight slump on account of declining prices incident to readjustment. The outloock on the whole for 1922 is @ exceptionally bright. It must be remembered that the merchant cannot hope to - in* crease his sales jwithout llegitimate advertising. When the buyer desires a certain afticle he 'depends upon the place where. it is usually: kept and an advertisement. in the logal paper points the way. : :

Ligonier merchants gire counting upon extending their trade area and this cannot be /done without judicious publicity in the home paper which reaches to all parts of the community and,. beyond | present trade limits. The Banner columns will prove a guide and index to the buyer in 1922 as it has for so many years in the past. b e

Utility Business Booming. F. A. Bryan: president of the Indiana and Michigan Electric company South Bend says: L “In general the utility business is better than ever before.

“The demands upon us are daily increasing and the problem for us even with business as it is today, is how to take care of the increasing busines. With the return of normal business it will of course. involve the expenditure of a considerable amount of capital.”

And she grunted five times, one grunt after the other to show that she agreed. “What are you all talking about?” asked Red Top, the rooster, ; “You don’'t know?” asked all the pigs. :

“Oh yes, I know,” sald Red Top, crowing proudly. : e “Then why did you ask?’ inquired Brother Bacon. | “You haven't much sense,” said Red Top. “Of course I don’t know, or I wouldn’t have asked.” “Well did I ever,” grunted Miss Ham. “You said one moment ago that you did know and now you say you don’t know, . Which do you mean? Do you know what we were talking about or don’t you?” : “Yes,” said- Sammy Sausage, “that is what we would like to know.” “Well,” said Red Top, “I don’t know, and if T had I wouldn’t have asked you.

: “Yes, that would be quite different,” ‘Squealed the other pigs. ' “I was wrong,” said Red Top grinning. “Of course you have no wish to take a joke because it is nothing ‘to eat. ‘I .meant, of course, that it ;was a joke when I pretended I knew 'what you were talking about just after I had asked you that question. 'I wouldn’t have asked you if I had ‘known, as I have said before. And I wouldn’t ‘have bothered to have had ‘a litle joke with you if I had thought that you didn’t care about joking.

66 HE American 18 apt to re'gard his New Year as The New Year. Had he a } penchant for celebrating holidays he could travel in 5 a more or le-s leisurely way fi around the world, and in the ] course of the year could

& participate in six or seven New Year festivities, adding a couple of Christmas celebrations for good measure,” according to a bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the National Geographic society, ‘ “Our American mikht start his progressive holiday jaunt by going to some western Europeamr country for the approaching New Year which the United States too will celebrate. He could then travel to Greece, JugoSlavia, Rumania .or Bulgaria in time for Christmas in those countries. Christmas is also December 25 in the countries named, according to their calendars, but corresponds to January 7 in America. : .

“By'remaining a week in the same country he could also spend New Year Day, called January-1, but ecorresponding with the American and western European January 14. By pushing on and making good connections he might be able to reach Singapore, or by supplementing st?amers with airplanes could reach China itA self to take part °o’“ 3{ In the most ? a thoroughgoing 1 . ' New Year celebra\3. Q ~ tion In the world, £ %\ the Chinese New e ( / Ci~ Year, Mo AL, ‘‘After’ the ) | = Chinese New Year /‘ J celebration, the 0 N traveler could S 'M\ pursue his holiday L J hunting less o strenuously for a . while. He could OB 2 arrange to arrive : -in Siam in time for.the Siamese New Year on April 1, and afterward could have five months of sightseeing before reaching Arabia for the Mohammedan New Year on September 4. He could ‘then cross the Red Sea and make a quick journey into Abyssinia to take part in the New Year festivities of that country on September 10. Returning to the Red Sea and taking a steamer north he could easily reach Jerusalem in. good time for the Hebrew New Year, October 3. : “The holiday hunter would now have taken part in all the principal New Year celebrations of the world and could return to the Western hemisphere to spend the Christmas with which he is most familiar at his own hearth side. In six days less than a year he would have chalked up seven New Year and two Christmas celebrations to his credit, -

“The world’s. multiplicity of New Year Days and Christmastides is due to the fact that our calendar is largely an arbitrary device. The earth revolves around the sun in 365.2422 days, which makes the true year a very odd measure of time. And it is almost as difficult to choose a logical beginning for the year as ‘it is to find the starting point of a circle. Different peoples have selected different startingpoints and have also assumed the vear to be of slightly different lengths. This has not only resulted in the yvears beginning at different times but has also caused the times of beginning to vary in their relations to one another from year to year. It is as though a clock had half a dozen or more hands all moving around the dial- from ' different starting points. “The most logical starting points for the year would seem to be summer and winter solstices and the spring and autumn equinoxes; and all of them have been ‘made. to mark the beginnings of the years in some parts of the world. The Gregorian calendar that is now In use in the United States and throughout most of the

Christian world, is the Julian calendar slightly modified. When Julius Caesar caused. it to be constructed, . the EEEW " <beginning of the BB year, January 1, & 4 was placed seven : days after the A b winter solstice, = and not in con- [N . Junetion with it -} as ‘logic would =4 | seem to dictate, sl +The Julian year ‘SN ’ was made, by means of the . ‘leap year’ device, RJ i 365.25 days long, Wy which was an ex- £ cess over the true year of 11 minutes and 14 seconds. This excess caused the nominal January 1 to creep gradually farther and farthér beyond the winter solstice so that by the time of the Church Council of Nice in 1325 it was elqven days beyond the solstice instead of seven. “By the time of Pope Gregory’s correction in 1582, January 1 was 21 days beyond the solstice and Christmas 14 ‘beyond. If the calendar had remained uncorrected, New Year Day would have gone on creeping forward, - first into spring, then into summer.” | ————— | , “Enigrtain at Supper. .
