self and covered itself with
glory last Friday evening be-
cause of it's initiative and abili-
ty to make things go. The
object Of their endeavors was a
party in honor of the seniors
whose high school days at
home are soon to be ended.
The evening was a most en-
joyable one, it being spent in
the playing of games of various
sorts until the hour of eleven.
There were alarms at times due
to the lurking of the shadows
of envious Freshmen prowling
about the buildings. They
proved to be nothing but
shadows as far as disturbing
the evenings enjoyment was
concerned. Delicious refresh
ments, consisting of cake and
ice cream were served by the
sophomore girls doing domestic
science work under Miss Rose.
After the serving of refresh
ments there was period of
speechmaking by few of the
sophomores. all of the seniors
and faculty members present.
The sophomores did not need
to speak nor boast for they
were praised in the very high
est term in all the speeches,
whether the speech, otherwise,
made a hit or did not.
The party broke up at a late
hour, happy in the realization
of the fact that there is in
Bottineau a class so full of
initiative, so generous and 50
capable of accomplishing great
and good things as are the
sopllomores.

Northwestern railroad company
has beeh organized and charter
ed at Lafayette for the purpose
of building a new railroad. 1t is

There is some talk of connect

IEn, TEN REGULATIONS ISSUED
BY ORDER OF ARCHBISHOP

The use of hogs lard or ridp-
pings is allowed in the prepare
ton of permitted food.
Persons who are dispensed
from fasting are free to eat meat
more than once a day, on days
when the use of meat is allowed.
By a special indult granted to
us by Leo XIII on March Is,
1905, and renewed by Plus K on
Feb. q, 1905, we permit all
workingmen and their families
to eat at the principal meal on
all days of fast and abstinence,
with the exception of Fridays,
Ash Wednesday, the Wednesday
and Saturday of Holy Week and
Christmas Eve.
likewise, any member of the
family on whom the household
depends for support-whether it
be the father, son or daughter,
it matters motif at liberty to
use the indult, carries the
privilege for the entire family
Persons who are l~egitimately
#FE FE.@- 49,
excused or dispensed from the
obligation Of fast and abstinence
are permitted to eat meat more
than once on the days before
mentioned. However, even to
those who are free to use this
privilege, it is not allowed to eat
flesh meat and fish at the same
meal. But since the lenten sea-
son is essentially a time of pen
ance, we would earnestly urge
those who avail themselves of
this indult, to perform some
other acts of modification, such
as abstinence from intoxicating
drinks, staying away from thea
tiers and other profane amuse-
ments.
All Catholics who have at
tanned the proper age are bound
to receive worthily holy COM
munion during the Paschal time,
which extends from the first
Sunday of Lent to Trinity Sum
day.
Parents are strictly bound to
take all the measures necessary
to have their little ones, arrived
at the age of discretion or rea-
son, receive worthily the sacra-
ment Of penance and of the Holy
Eucharist.

900, 900, and he announces:
Seventy million people, or TO-
900, 900 families, have jobs wait
ing for them in the South.
That should sound encouraging
to those who view with depres-
sion each winter the bread lines
in our great Northern cities and
ask how the c ong e S t o n of
t h poor in t h e slums is
to be prevented. There is room
for all these and many more in
the South, according to MI.
Cool's fgures-the United States
is not ,overpopulatrd. But how
to get the out-of-works into the
South or any other thinly popu-
lated part of the country is quite
another question. Many families
or single men, now merely exist
ing in poverty in Northern cities,
might do well on small farms,
North or South, if properly
started, but the start requires
some capital, pluck and knowl-
edge Of farming. Perhaps no
more practical or far-reaching
philanthropy could be devised
than an organization for the pur-
pose Of placing, first in colonies
and then on small farms, fam
lilies and persons showing a rea-
sonable promise Of becoming
self-supporting. The field is one
for action on a large scale to the
benefit of the nation.
