THE GENERAL INTENTION,
recommended by HIS holiness. Plus X
Daily Communion.

NiiJ SHiAltilGIlOIs
Come to Me, all we that labor and
are burnened, and L VIII refresh you
HoW often in moments of trial have
these words of Jesus sounded In our
soul, and we have yeaTned to know HON
TO TO approach Him and find peace!
prayer, suffering, toll, these are path
ways which His sacred feet have trod
and made holy for US to follow; but
shorter and boiler and more eff1cacious
IMAM any of these is the way to daily
communion. o We of little faith, why
90 We doubt? This is our first mistake;
and faith is weak! We are conscious
of our sinfulness, and we fall De bring
home TO ourselves that Jesus is still
more conscious of it. and yet bids us
come to Him. For He alone can take
away sin, and give strength, daily
strength, not to sin again. Our second
mistake is a false humility; we think
We know better than Jesus when we
are worthy to receive Him; whereas
He knows that we are never worthy
without Him. Let me say nothing OF
sloth which refuses to make the effort
TO go to daily mass and communion,
nor of that most shameful of all UNI
worthiness, the fear of what others may
say: but consider the blessings which
follow daily communion. First, we have
the special benediction Of His Holiness,
and the assurance from his apostolic
lips that daily communion is the spirit
of the church today. We shall be like
the first Christians, who communicated
daily. We shall first concupiscence les

AFTERMATH OF POTATOE
 CORNER WHICH FAILED
Sheriff Dorian Advertises Sale at Auction
 of Half of Steam Yacht Edgewater.

; The famous potato ''corner" of two fears ago is recalled by Deputy Sheriff Peter Doolan who has given notice of his intention to sell at public sale a half interest in the steam yacht Edge water, now owned by Edgar D. Chit tenden. president of the National Fsrti- lizer Go. and residing at the Stratf1eld, to satisfy a judgment for $1,53S.71 in favor of the E.. l.. Cleveland Co.,, poto- to dealers of Maine.
 Chittenden was one of the Bridge porters who set out to get Q corner in potatoes. Their attempt to corner the market was successful. but they had other forces to contend with. An un- looked for shortage in cars made ship ment slow. The loss was very great. The Maine firm delivered potatoes in large lots to Chittenden. The yacht Edgewater is owned equally by Chit tenden and Edward Gilman of Black Rock.

Getting Rid of Weeds.

The problem of weed eradication is
one of the most serious which con-
front the farmers Of Iowa and ad-
joining states. During the last few
years a method of killing weeds has
been discovered which promises to
greatly Tighten the annual toll which
the farmer pays to these pests. This
new method consists In spraying the
weeds with certain destructive ma
terials known as herbicides. Some of
these herbicides. of which iron sui
plate is the most promising will kill
nearly all kinds Of common weeds
without injuring the oats. wheat or
other crop In which they happen to be
growing. In fact, in several cases the
sprayed grain was thriftier and yield
ed more than that which did not re-
ceive the treatment This method is
especially valuable for destroying mus
tard in grainfelds and dandelions and
other weeds on lawns.
