great shock to his parents and friends.
He retired Saturday evening apparently
in good health and ON Sunday morning
he was taken seriously i'll. At first he
was thought to be in no danger but as
the disease developed it was soon evi-

Easter at St. PaulS CathOlic
Church.

The great Christian Festival of the
Resurrection was observed by more
than the usual solemnity and beautiful
ceremonial of the Catholic Church at
st. Pauls in this city. From the flower
bedecked and brilliantly lighted Altar
and Tabernacle, the Joyful anthems of
Alleluias and the happy and devout at
titudes of the large congregations there
seemed to eminate true spirit of hope
and sincere faith in the Redeemer' 5
resurrection.
The abundance of natural, ported
and cut flowers, lilies, roses, carnations,
tulips, with ferns and other plants,
made the Sanctuary most attractive
and filled the church with their sweet
fragrance.
The choir, under Miss Emma Whalen S
direction and charge, was a revelation
to the congregation, as pleasing as I'M
expected, SO correctly and in harmony
did the members render the fine but
difficult Mass, after very short prep
aration. The "Kyrie, " Gloria" and
"Credo" were from Roswig's Mass in
F. The ''Sanctus," ''Benedictus" and
"Agnus Del from Leonard's Mass in
E Flat. The 'Benedictus, sang by
Messrs. Cullen, Commins and McMur-
rough, was very impressive and effec-
tive. During the taking up of the offer
ing Mr.. F. Coady and Miss Henrietta
Kane gave very lovely charming duet,
an appropriate hymn. Miss Lily Stoner,
as leader, is developing a strong So
prano voice, which was evident to all
present. All the members of the choir
should feel happy and proud as they re-
ceived well merited praise.
After reading the gospel proper for
the Feast, Father O'Keefe delivered a
sermon, full of hope and faith for the
Christian in the future glorious life,
from the text, 'YOu seek Jesus of
Nazareth, He is not here, He is arisen,
behold the place where they laid Him. -
Miss Mary Healy, assisted by Clar-
ence Egan, prepared and placed all the
decorations, using many of her own
beautiful flowers and plants. Mrs. w.
Holmes also sent some fine Towering
plants. Miss Ethel Healy of Chicago
sent magnificent lot of Easter lilies,
tuliDS and roses. as did Mrs Peter
Collins from Riverside, Cal, including
some fine specimens of Gala Lily. The
congregation highly appreciated this
thoughtful kindness.

Badger Corn Growers Should
Test Seed.

The value of the field crops of Wis
consin is estimated at $lOO.OOOO0O an
nualIy and this great valuation can be
increased one-fourth or $4,000, 900, by
careful grading and testing of seeds,
says Prof. R. \. Moore Of the College
of Agriculture, University of Wiscon-
sin, in urging the Importance of seed
testing. There is no seed which varies
more in quality and vitality than corn,
and farmers cannot afford to take the
risk of planting untested or ungraded
seed \ few hours of careful work
may mean double the yield for the

praise bestowed upon them for their

Treating Potatoes to Pre-
vent Scah.

Potato scab is a fungus disease which
may be prevented in the crop by simple
treatment of the seed potato, if the crop
is planted in soil that is free from the
scab. The horticultural department of
the College of Agriculture University of
Wisconsin suggests that when potatoes
are grown on a limited scale, they may
be treated by placing the seed potatoes
in burlap sack before cutting them
and by soaking them for an hour and a
half in a mixture consisting of one
quart of 40 per cent formalin solution
in 30 gallons of water
