The State Senate baa passed finally the House bill making October 12 a legal holiday, to be known as Columbus Day, the Idea being that Christopher Columbus was born on that day. It would seem that the aonlvnrsary ot the birth of the man who discovered America Bhould ba properly celebrated, but nobody' knows the day, nor the month, nor the year In which Columbus was born. The cyclopedias, dictionaries and biographies agree .that the great navigator came into this world some where between 1436 and 1457. The most trustworthy evldeno seems to show that be was born not long before March 25, 1440. But that U really Im material. Punxsutawney Spirit. The Checker Tournament.
