So Loose the Animal Can Almost Tern

The pelt of an adult badger is eX-
tremely thick and difficult for biting

the skin cover the body that the animal
is able to turn almost around in Its
hide.
Should a dog acquire a hold on the
throat the badger turns himself SO that
the dogs grip Is on the back or the
badgers neck without having loosened
his first hold. Then the badger secures
a viselike grip upon some vulnerapie
portion of his enemy, and While ms

as formidable and deadly as might be

What They Have Been Doing
the Past Week-General
News Notes.

Division Z of Springfield, Mass.
will conduct fair from February IL
to II.
The fair held by the Hibernians OF
Plainfields, N. j., realized $1,000 for
the building fund.
Next week will be a busy one for
the local divisions, as all but Divis-
ion 4 will hold meetings.
The County Board met too late
this week for this edition, but the
proceedings will appear in our next
issue.
Former National President Mat

the initiation Of a class of 1913.
The Ladies' Auxiliary of Portland,
Ore, attended mass at st. Mary's
Cathedral on Thursday morning in
honor of their patron, st. Bridgld.
During the past year many dfvisr
ions in the Eastern States have ac-
quired real estate and will in the
near future own their own halls.
Twelve hundred Hibernians assem-
bled in Fitchburg, Mass, to witness
the district initiation, when 200 new
members were received into the Or
der.
Vermont Hibernians are making
themselves felt. Two mutations in
one week, one at Poultney and the
other at Rutland, increased the mem
bership 204.
The Boston Hibernian notes that
in nearly every instance the Presi-
dents of the divisions in the Middle
and Western States is a prominent
professional or business man in the
community in which the division is
located.
Have you secured a candidate for
the coming initiation? This can be
done by every member with but little
effort, and thus the order would be
greatly strengthened. Get busy
among your neighbors and you will
be elated with the results.
Indianapolis Hibernians, their pro-
test being futile, passed resolutions
requesting that members and the
public ignore the obnoxious play

mending the Petroleum Develop

proximately a half million dollars in
this field; still other companies have
recently entered the field and are
doing development work. The gas
has been piped to the city of Ard
more, fifteen OF twenty miles dis
tant. As to the quantity OF oil pro

all OF the lands II possibly can, either
by purchase or lease, one Is driven
70 the opinion that the field Is
profitable one. The land OF The
Petroleum Development Company Is
very close TO the developed oil land.
/ might add that there have been
very, very few wells drilled In that
section that have not proven produe-
tive. AS to the future Of the field.

that II will be developed into a great

NOTRE DAME.
Body of Father Badin Still
Reposes Under its
Shadow.

The Kentucky Irish American has
Just received from Rev. John Cav
anaugh, C. S. c., President of Notre
Dame University, the following let
ter, which makes final disposition OF
a subject that aroused much interest
and conjecture in Catholic circles In
Kentucky and Indiana:
ut has been very generally stated
in the Catholic press and in certain
secular newspapers that the body OF
Father Stephen Theodore Badin has
been transferred from the University
of Notre Dame TO Cincinnati. Ohio.
At first was disposed to pay no at
tention TO this erroneous report. but
the number OF letters addressed to
me on the subject shows how deep
and how widespread Is he interest
In IT, II also shows. by the way, the
power OF the Catholic press for pub
licity. The truth is that the body OF
Father Badin reposes under the
shadow of the University OF Notre
Dame, which was one OF the great
missionary centers created by Father
Badin in the pioneer days. Indeed II
was Father Badin who procured
from the United States Government
the ground on which the University
stands. Some months ago letters
from Bishop O'Donahue, OF Wheel
Ing, and the chaplain and the
Mother Superior of Loretto Convent
In Kentucky requested relic OF
Father Badin to be inclosed In
monument they were erecting 70 him
In Loretto. The request was courte-
ously granted and a bone from the
body OF the sanity pioneer was rev
erentiy transferred TO the great
Kentucky convent. OF which he may
