streams were turned upon the blaze and
after about an hour and a half of hard
work the fire was cxtingulshed.
The Waterman discovered the fire when
1t first started and told Free Press man
that 1t was undoubtedly of an incendiary
origin as he had been looking In that di-
rcction every few minutes during the
night and If 1t had caught in any other
way he would have seen the smoke 1t
could not have caught from a spark from
a locomotive as there was absolutely no
wind to carry sparks and there had been
no train through since the $40. The pile
was also so far from the railroad track
that it would have been impossible for a
spark to be carried that distance The fro
started in a small pile of soft pine used
for making boxes, and when it was FIRST
seen it looked as though the wood had
been saturated with kerosene. The blaze
spread from this pile to a larger one ad-
joining and from there across the street.
Only one of these larger piles was, how
ever, much damaged and the loss will be
slight.

text of the papal encyclical abolish

clergy in Latin America. The
South American bishops council at
Rome last spring petitioned this in

papers. although carefully suppressed
throughout Europe. The encyclical
states that inasmuch as celibacy is a
church ordinance and not a divine
command. established when candi-
dates for the priesthood were numer-
Gus, and inasmuch as the priestly
calling has fallen into disrepute in
Latin America and many parishes are
without pastors and inasmuch as
ceiIbacy is the main reason why the
youth are disinclined TO become
priests in these countries, it seems
advisable for those without sufficient
moral strength to choose a worthier
condition by marrying"
