Hibernians and the Ladies' Auxiliary,
will be held in Leavenworth Sunday

order that their delegates might return
home by Monday, Labor day. It is ex-
pected that not less than $50 delegates

the order, not delegates, and Catholic
clergymen from the nearby cities
The programme for the morning will
open with Bishop Lillis celebra ting
mass for the delegates and members of
the order which will be in the cathedral

business meeting of the mems and wom-
ems orders, both to be held in the ca
thedral hall or lodge halls.

urable end of the celebration and con-
vention. The opening attraction will be
a musical programme in the hall of the
cathedral school. This will be followed
by the official banquet The musical
programme will her taken part in by

Corn Spotted in Mitchell County.

The corn is very spotted in Mitchell
county this year, and great deal of
difference can be discerned between
fields frequently with nothing but 4
road separating them. This probably
arises from the manner in which the
land has been previously cropped, and
the time of planting the corn crop now
rapidly maturing in the fields may have
something to do with 1t. In some cases
it is que to the quality Of the land, as
some of it undoubtedly lacks those nee
essary elements in it to successfully
carry corn crop through a week or
two's dry, hot weather. However there
are enough good fields of corn in Mitch
ell county to assure a fair average yield
this year. and all told there will proba~
bly, be as much corn raised in the coun-
ty this year as there was last.-Beloil
