THE ANTI AGREEMENT

Those who are apprehensive of an
early outbreak of war in Europe see
in the meeting of the Car of Russia
and the King of Italy an additional
sign of trouble. 1t has been broadly
accepted that this conference of mon
archs has been designed to cement
the relations of Italy and Russia, and
that the particular object for which
this understanding has been reached
is Austria, whose attitude toward Italy
and Russia is distasteful to both of
those countries. Italy is a member of
the ''Driebund' with Germany and
Austria. But the triple alliance has
long since ceased to be a factor of

What Do. Our Boys Road?

Catholic fathers and mothers, how
often do you stop to ask yourselves
this question?
do you know what your boy is read
ips? Have you asked him the name
of the book in which he seemed so
thor oughly absorbed? Have you ever
looked it over to see what it con-
t?ins?
We fear that 100 often our Catholic
PARENTS will be forced to confess their
neglect Of their. essential duty, says
tie Holy. Angels. calendar. Think
for a moment Of the moralatendencies
Of this age Of ours We know the his
terry of crime that is being daily. re-
corded In eachs!of our large cities; and
it is this history OF crime which is
the source OF much Of, tho material
found in the chapters Of many Of our
modern novels. Are YOU anxious to
'faves yoar'. aiIslf -tf1eir minds
upon these husks that are unit for
swine? Perhaps YOU have not read
these, books yourself. So much the
better. But this cannot serve as
yonr defense. A; cursoly glance at
tn" chapters, bearing the most sug-
gcstive titles. will give you an insight
into the :worth Of the book; while, if
even this is not possible, there are
those to whom you can always refer,
rot the least among whom is your
confessor.
Every book which your boy brings
into the house should be first sub
mitted to you for inspection, and the
slightest doubt as to its moral sound
ness should bo suf1cient to cause Won
to forbid the reading Of it, at least
until you have made inquiries. A. pa
per cover does not condemn a, book:
but look very carefully at the name
printed on that paper cover, and see
whether the condemnation of the book
is written there Then go a step far
thcr, and see if the book contains
those sadly prolific seeds of evil that
are being scattered broadcast over tho
land, and If so, cast them out as you
would most deadly poison.
Does your boy read the detailed
$: ories of crime that glare out at us
from the pages ~ the average daily
and Sunday papers? Do you permit
this? Would YOU be proud to con-
Tess it to the world? Can you hope
t" keep his mind unsullied, to ken him
faithful to the precepts Of God and
holy Mother Church, to have in him =
aut1ful and respectful son, when IDEAS
ard thoughts Of this kind are being
crowded out Of his mind by the thronx
Of criminal details that would shock
me ears Of even those whose profess
sion is crime? -
A word of warning, then, should
bring wisdom to you who arc the
guardians Of sacred treasure. Holy
Mother church needs faithful sons.
Are you striving, by this means. to
satisfy the desire Of her mother,v
heart?

A Bald Remark

It was the hour of the after-thester
supper. and every table In a certain
-Sell-known Broadway restaurant was
occupied.
A man who had partaken of far
more liquid than solid refreshments:
arose from one of the front tables and
steered a devious course between the
tables toward the cigar counter His
course was so erratic that he attract
ed the attention Of every one
Seated at one OF the tables was a
young man whose hair had reached
that state of defamation in which It
must be combed with mathematical
precision-eyery hair being carefully
laid where it will cover the most
scalp.
The center-of-attraction halted at
this table and. fixing his gaze upon
the young mans scanty thatch, spake
thus:
Excuse me. stranger My wife
says I'm getting bald; but I'll be
hanged If I'm near as bald as you
are"
And then he continued on his way
to the cigar counter. But he was no
longer the center of attraction; the
young man of the scanty thatch hac
/ succeeded to that distinction.

to the Mexican pueblo, and the offer
contains agreements which are OF dc

become a prrveyor of the most use

Some time since the officials at
Aqua Prieta took the matter of wa
ter service up with the d 1. company
and were given a rate by the COM
pany which was satisfactory to that
company as well as to the neighbor-
ing town which is now dependent up
on a few wells for its water supply.
Already water is piped to the inter
national line, to the custom house.
and this could easily be continued.
Aqua Prieta is growing and wnen rne

pueblo with it's shops and division
headquarters the present demand for
water viii be considerably increased.
The paper in the hands OF the city
officials is an offer to take water ser
vice from Douglas, provided the wa
ter project shall be voted, at the rate
which the present company decided
would make such a move profitable
In addition it IS agreed that shall the
offer be accepted the part of the
plant across the International line
shall be made free and exempt from
all municipal, state and national tax
alton for ten years to come and that
the rate offered shall exist for the
same period. unless the city shall see
fit at any time to reduce that rate, in
other words a maximum rate with
out taxation or imposts is agreed up
on
The water works project also en-
braces the furnishing of water to Pr
tleville and there is no reason WIN
