be true of this week. In the first place
the customary parade on the opening
will be 'cut out" Whatever expense
this feature might reach will thus be
saved and turned to good advantage in
providing entertainment for fair pat
rons. The feature of the week will be
the Mozart orchestra which will pro-
vide dance music. The dance has been
voted the most popular of fair diver
sions and with this in mind the orches-
ira was procured to play the most pop
ular waltzes and two-steps.
There will be an array of articles to
be disposed of by chance, chief among
them $25 in gold, the chances on
which will be ten cents.

Saloon Not the Cause.
Father Curran, in the course of his
talk, expressed a belief that is not
shared by good part of the members
of the union. In fact, he confessed
that the belief was not always held by
himself, This was that the saloon was
NOT the cause, ii was the effect of the
drinking habit. Mans habit, his desire
for drink was the CAUSE. This conclu-
sion was reached, Father CurIan said,
since he became active in the cause of
the Catholic Total Abstinence union
and had better opportunities to study
social conditions.
Two Weeks Pay Bad.
Among the causes that spread the

two weeks pay, which is in vogue in
this section. It gives men the chance
to handle money oftener, men who are
