John Henry Grey in his "China'
tells of the notices which decorate n
Chinese vessel.
On the masts of the sengoing Junks
are fastened strips Of red paper In
scribed with Chinese characters. Some
Of the notices follow:
1.-THE mast is as a general command
ing 10000 soldiers"
"From every side of the compass
may fair winds blow"
MAY this mast scorn tempests from
whatever quarter Of the heavens they
may come"
On the poop "A pavilion is built, ana
over It's doorway is n chance for more
notices.
MAY the wind not cause angry wa
tiers to rise" "May this vessel brave
the storms of hundred years"
There Ia always shrine on board,
and here the Chinese gods are APP
pealed to.
"Wherever this ship may sail, grant
her prosperous voyage" Enable
us by trading to acquire wealth"

SOME DENSELY POPULATED POR
TIONS OF THE EARTH.
China, England and the United States
Each Have a Strip Of Territory
Wherein the People Are
Closely Packed.

That the population Of Berlin de-
clined 4.419 In 1908 is not surpris-
ing result of financial depression.
Although the German empire has
"a, 100000 people in an area much
smaller than Texas, no part OF 1t 10
very densely peopled. The new
Greater Berlin" which is planned on
an area more than twice New Yorks,
will not contain so many people. The
center of densest population in Ger
many is not Berlin but Crefeld, but
the Industrial region of Rhenish Prus-
STA and Westphalia does not contain
more than 100000 people.
Belgium, with more than 7,0OO,0 900
people In an area less than Marylands
is considered an example of extreme
density. She feeds 625 people to the
square mile by the aid of vast manu-
featuring industries Java, with 49,
900, 900 people in space less than
Iowa, supports STA to the square mile
by agriculture alone. The Inhabited
portion of Egypt supports by agricul-
ture nearly 1000 to the square mile.
The Chinese province of Kangsu Is
supposed to support 100000 people
in the area of Illinois, but there is no
exact census. Still, the portion of the
province running from Shanghai to
Marking along the railroad. the Grand
canal and the Yangtsekiang river, an
area like New Jerseys, is one Of the
three great hives of humanity known

American strip of 220 miles by

Tribute to Rev. FIR. Fierle

The following tribute TO the late Rev.
FIR. Fierle was paid by the speaker
at the unwilling of his monument in
Ionia Decoration day.
81 say TO you, my friends, Father
Fierle was martyr to christian Cath
Ollie education, for the edifice which he
erected is monument / say to you,
my Catholic friends, of this parish
who celebrate the memorial of your de-
parted pastor, support the hand of your
present pastor, for while bouquets on
the grave of the deceased may mean a
great deal more; support your pastor by
cooperation in practical manner.
Why is it a Catholic priest is entitled
TO the endearing term, father? Because
he is in truth the spiritual father of the
child. The natural father next TO God
is instrumental for the life of the child,
but the priest of God makes that child,
a child Of God by sacrament OF bap-
ism, that child who would not have
cen permitted to see the Heavenly
ather becomes entitled TO a place in
.eavenly kingdom. And as the child
rows older, the priest of God watches
s career. When it reaches the years
reason, tits taught TO go TO confession,
hen it reaches the years of twelve or
lereabouts, that child makes its first
Ioly Communion, later on, by the
hand Of the bishop is confirmed, later
IN when that child enters the matri-
nonial life, the priest of God is there to
bless that union, declaring, "What
sod has joined together let no man put
ssunder." When life is nearly run who
is ii that is at the bedside of that per-
son that is about to dieP Is it not again
the priest of God? Who gives unto
that soul about to appear before its
Maker, Holy Viahcum, the Body, and
Blood Of Christ as a Companion and
traveller? Who is it that says last pray
ers over the remains of the deceased
person? Again the priest of God. There
are many poor unfortunates in the
world, who cannot find shelter but
who will find friend in the priest of
God, who will encourage her to rise up
and go forth-and sin no more.

THE TIMBER THIEVES
Are Being Hunted Down By New
Land Commissioners.

Timber thieves have been robbing
state tax lands in the upper part of the
state at an alarming rate and Huntley
Russell, land commissioner, is making
this nefarious business decidedly un-
popular since he assumed the Office
January 1.
Since the first of the year SO cases of
trespass have been investigated The
investigation is being carried on by
four trespass agents, assisted by five
examiners. So far the list of counties
which trespass cases have been started
are as follows: Altoona 3; Alpena 5;
Cheboygan, L; Chippewa, 1; Claire, 3;
Delta, 2; Dickinson, l; Emmett Glad
win, 8; Gogebic, /; Grand Traverse, A;
Iosco, 8; Kalkaska, Z; Lake, l; Mecosta,

aygo,3; Oceana, 2; Ogemaw, IL; Os-
cda, 8; Otsego, 2; Pressure Isle, Z; Sag
NAV L; Wexford, II.
OF this number 33 cases have been
disposed of and 95 are still pending.
The above cases cover l0l separate dis
cription OF land. From the cases dis
posed of the state has received 81, 790 "a.
From the reports Of trespass agents il
is shown that 49, feet of timber, 10,
600 posts, 5,0S5 ties and several humid
red poles and mining props have been
taken. A large portion of the stolen
timber has been seized and the state
mark placed upon it, pending the
settlement of the cases.

Rural Free Delivery

The rural free delivery could cele- brate on October 1 next it's thirteenth l birthday anniversary, but it will not celebrate at all. It will keep right on serving the people, and few. indeed, will consider what has been accom- i plished in IS years
 ] Nor have the 10000 routes been source of expense to the country, for 13 years ago the postal deficit was $11,411, ,000, and 10 years later it was but $6.653, 900. It would soon be over come if Congress would let postal rates alone, and then the postal serv- ice would be self-sustaining- in other words, those who are served would pay the expense.
 The postoffice department recently presented the benefits of rural free delivery, as follows:
 From an ethical point of view it promotes neighborly relationship and intercourse with other communities.
 Prom a commercial standpoint it benefits the farmer by enabling him to keep posted on the markets.
 "In an economical sense the public derives the advantages of good roads.
 "Educationally speaking it has large ly extended the circulation of local and metropolitan papers, magazines and general literature and has proved a stimulus to personal correspon- dence."
 There will never be fewer rural free delivery routes. Each year will see an increase in the number. and in Ala bama there are now nearly 1000 routes Two thousand would not be too many, and 10 years from now there will be that number in this state, or an average of 30 in a county.

said that the direct primary is only the forerunner of the referendum and the recall, but unavoidable persons presume that they need not cross these bridges until they come to them. II Is said that the direct primary will merely substitute new bosses for old ones. but the irrever- ent suggest that even so. the odds will be strongly in favor of improvement. It is said that the agitation for direct pri- may is disrupting the republican party. but those who love the party do not at heart believe that the party can be dis rupted by demand for open dealing and majority rule"
 It is a square stand-up fight in the republican party in New York between the bosses with their heelers on the one hand and the people on the other. Governor Hughes is leading the people in his party, and the bosses are rally ing for the final struggle. New York elects this year the lower house of the legislature only.
