TALK ABOUT FINE CATTLE.

There is no doubt but Texas has
some very fine blooded cattle.
Many of them were in evidence
during the Gainesville fair which
opened October 10. Probably a
dozen contestants for blue ribbon
stock had the pick of their herds
there, but it remained for Jerry
c. Washington, of Marietta, I, T.
to clean up nearly everything in
sight with his excellent territory
stock. The Marietta Monitor had
this to say of the incident;
when it, came to registered
ShUrthorns, Jerry Washington
easily took the first prize on the
best ShOrthorn COW, two years old
and under three, best Shorthorn
heifer over one and under two,

stakes. The latter Was only II
months old and weighed 1890 lbs. ,
and is undoubtedly one of the
finest animals in the south or
west. Mr.. Washington also took
the first premium on a two-year-
old Shorthorn heifer that weighed
1000 lbs"

country are much Interested in the

can Federation of Catholic Societies of
the United States, which will open in
Cincinnati, Dec. 10. They regard it as
a history making event for the church

The federation has the approval and
cooperation of the most distinguished
prelates in the United States. Every
Catholic organization in the country
has notified the national officers of it's
intention to participate in the con-
vention. The national officers are in
this city. and a corps of clerks have
been employed for weeks. answering
inquiring correspondents and making
arrangements for the Cincinnati gath

ton will number over 1900 delegates,

elaborate preparations to receive and
Jersey. New York. Massachusetts,.
Ohio. Kentucky. Maryland, Illinois and
Indiana particularly will be fully repre-
sented. The most distinguished Cath
olic laymen and churchmen in the
country will be among the delegates
and speakers. There will be an orator
of the West and an orator Of the East
The former will be District Attorney
P. H. O'Donnell of Chicago, and the
latter will be either Bourke Cochran
of New York or Michael ]. Ryan of
Philadelphia.
The convention will be attended by
an elaborate street parade of uniform
ed Catholic knights of America and

terest, such as the position of the
church in the Philippines. 1t will eff
feet a permanent organization for fu-
ture work, as its officers will proba-
bly, include some of the most promi
nent and conspicuous Catholics.
