Jordan, Minn.-The entertainment
of the Catholic schools held at the
Catholic Association hall on Monday
evening Of last week was most literally
patronized, and all the little folks per-
formed their numbers on the program
with great credit to themselves and
to their instructors Sisters. A
goodly sum was netted, which goes to
the improvement of the school, and the
little folks can feel proud Of the pro-
gram rendered and of the amount net
ted for their own school.
Winona, Minn.-There has recently
been operating among the Catholic
people of Winona an agent for an east
ern book house. and by the unwarrant-
ed use of the name of Bishop Cotter
he has induced large number of per-
sons to subscribe for Sc book, the
matter in which was published long
ago and sold in neat volume at less
than one-third the price asked for it
by this agent. "The book is not issued
by Catholic publishing house," said
a prominent Catholic to the indie
pendent. "Nor has it received the ap-
proval of Bishop Cotter, or any other
bishop in its present form; nor is the
agent "a student preparing for the
priesthood "Catholic papers and
pulpits," continued the gentleman,
shave time and again urged their peo-
pie to refer the statements of these
agents to their pastor, but this advice
has been unheeded, with result that
useless books have been purchased at
outrageous prices. One of the most
effective pleas made by agents of this
class is that they are students for the
priesthood and circumstances make it
necessary that they should spend lei
sure time in working for the means to
carry them through college. These
pleas are made by men who never
thought of studying for the priesthood,
or any other honorable profession, and
solely for the purpose of getting SUBJ
scriber for their publications"
