CATHOLIC FOREIGN MISSIONS.
France, The United States and Ger
 many Lead in Contributions.

The Catholic society for the prOpa- atiOn of the faith whose headquarters are in Lyons, France, had total receipts last year of $1,454, ,485, a ain of little more than $5O000 over the year 1910. The society is unique among mission ary organizations in that it collects money one year, and after it knows the exact sum in hand. it expends it the next year. By this plan it avoids debt All other societies make budets, begin expenditures. and then get both ends together without debt-if they can.
 France gave $6O5,000, or wellnight half of all the sOciety's receipts, while the United States was second on the list with gifts of $2S1 ,234. Germany is the third contributing country, with gifts amounting to $1S6,000 Italy, Spain and Austria, strong Catholic countries, contribute to world missions of course, but do so chiefly through the orders In 1882 Lyons established it's famous society and gradually has led France, the United States and Ger many into the secular rather than the regular channel of giving.
 The United States, working in close
  recently established a foreign mission seminary and within a fortnight it's first building will be dedicated by Car dinal Farley. This action was taken by the Roman Catholic archbishops who selected two young priests and sent them to Europe to study cOndi- tfons and needs. The aim is to get larger numbers of Catholic young men of America into the foreign mission fields Heretofore most such workers have been enlisted and educated in France England has furnished a few.
 It was this Lyons society that early assisted the planting of Catholic churches in America. Ever since it has been granting money to America, util the total sum given between 1922, when the society was formed, down to 1900, when Catholic America attain ed it's majority b y being put on the same footing a European countries, exceeded $10,000,0 Most of this money came from French Catholics but was granted to hierarchies that were and are largely Irish.

WIKI,

Why isn't the N cattle ordi

and sheep may be s,4n roaming at
large and grazing on the sidewalks
in any section Of the city, at al
most any time. The police can not Of
fer the excuse that they do not see
these animals, because the other day
a member of the force was observed
to pass by a stray horse without
paying the least attention to the IN
fraction of the law or making the
slightest attempt to enforce it.
Why is garbage, offal and filthy
refuse of all kinds dumped on the
Bayou Lafourche batture at the
head Of Claiborne street, to the
great annoyance of the residents OF
the community and the probable IN
jury of their health? By what au-
thority is this locality constituted
the dumping ground for the waste
matter OF the city? The arbitrary
and unjust practice has gone to SUCH
an extent that even the carcasses OF
dead animals are deposited on the
unsightly pile, to furnish food Tor
b,1zzards and contaminate the air
with foul and sickening odor.
why isn't the pavement in Mlssls-
sippi street and Railroad avenue re-
paired? Several bad holes have de-
veloped in both thoroughfares, nota-
bly one in Railroad avenue near the
corner of Iberville street. AS long

Oh, Sugar!

Manufacturers Record:
If certain big American interests
which, by claiming that the tariff is
responsible for the high price Of SUI
gar, are attempting to bring pressure.
upon congress for the abolition OF
the duties on sugar, should guaran-
tee to American consumers that upon
the abolition CT the duties they would
sell sugar more cheaply, they might
make some impression upon the in
telligence of the American public
But the American public, in increas-
ing numbers. is beginning TO per
oeiYe that reduction or abolition Of
tariff duties does not mean reduc-
ton in the price of goods. IN the
past ten or fifteen years a situation
has been developed in which the pol
icy Of free raw materials is a sure
means. of strengthening the position
OF certain great interests IN the
American MARKET That policy is a
step toward the elimination of sur
wing Independents IN nanufaetur-
ing and mining and other lines OF
production that are really independ-
ent.

University Press News:
First-grade goods are made from
using only firm, red, ripe tomatoes

and peel. Pinnge in cold water to
cool and harden The fruit. Cut out
the hard part of the tomato where.
the stem is attached. being careful
not to cut into the soft portion;
peel, and fill ns--using only to-
lnato and tomato juice.
Before using, all cans and other
utensils employed should be thorough
" cleaned and sca1ded
If tin cans are used, put cap on and
leave vent hole open; if glass jars.
put top on lightly, Set in water,
nearly to top. and boil ten minutes;
close vent hole Cor tighten tops of
glass jars), immense completely in
boiling water; continue boiling for
thirty minutes. In removing glass
jars do not let cold air strike them.
With steam Gamer, put caps on
and close vent hole Immediately at

Death Of Antoine sobral, 5r.

After years of iaYalidism and suf-
fering, Antoine sobral, .Tr., son Of
A. NJ. Sobral Of this city, passed into
the Great Beyond at ) o'clock yester-
day morning at the Touro Infirmary
in New Orleans, where he had been
under treatment for some time Every
resource known to medical science
was employed In an attempt to
curb the rayages of the insidious
.nalady from which the young man
suffered, but the best efforts of the
most skiIlful physicians proved futile
to avert the inevitable end or pro-
long the spark Of life. The remains
were conveyed to St James yester-
day afternoon via the T. and P. Rail-
road, and interment was made in the
Catholic cemetery at that place, the
obsequies being attended by a large
gathering Of relatives and friends,
MIR. Sobral was a native Of St.
james parish, and had attained the
age of thirty seven years. He was
a young man Of studious habits and
retiring disposition, and was greatly
esteemed for his many lovable traits
Of character and admired for the
fortitude and patience with which he
bore his burden Of pain. Besides
his father, he is survived biz ane
brother. Joseph sobraI OF WhitecastIe.
and two sisters, Mrs. Peter Stiff Of
New Orleans, and Miss Jaeinta So
oraI. The sympathy of the entire
community is extended to the be-
reaYed family in their hour Of grief.

Candidate Pugh Confident.
Thibodaux Commercial j ournal:


Judge e. N. Pugh of Donaldson
vile was here last week and in an
Interview stated that .'jurists, pub
lieists and all those who have made
a study of the present system IN
vogue in the supreme court, Of one
justice passing upon cases instead OF
the entire court, are united in con-
.denning the system, and feel that
it would be preferable to have the
value and weight of the entire court
in all Judgments The correctness
of Mr. Pugh's statements is being
admitted on all sides, and while he
has assumed this position he does
not find that any of his opponents
in the race have expressed them
selves regarding the matter He says
the question is creating considera-
BILE argument everywhere in the dis
trict. ale feels satisfied with the
progress of his candidacy and has
every reason to believe he viii be
in the second primary. He admits
ne will be in the second primary, and
says that while he is not claiming
every parish, it viii be found in the
general wind-up that there are a
number of parishes where he will
lead the list.

FIXED SALARIES PREFERABLE
TO THE FEE SYSTEM.

In reply to Inquiries relative to the
proper manner of compromising GER
tain Darochia1 officials for SPECIFIED
public services, the attorney general
Of Louisiana recently announced g 4
series of opinions that will have an |
and generally unfortunate
effect upon the fiscal affairs of per-
haps majority of the parishes OF !
The state il ii transpires, that police
Ijuries are Obliged to change their
methods of administration to conform
to these opinions.
The attorney general contends that
the common practice of paying sal
aries or fixed compensation to sher-
ifs for keeping and maintaining pris-
oners in the parish jails, to coro-
ners, district attorneys and parish
printers is not in accordance with
law; that sheriffs must be compen-
stated for the maintenance of prison
ers on the basis of not more than
fifty cents nor less than twenty-five
cents per day for each prisoner;
that coroners and district attorneys
can only be paid the fees provided by
law, and that parish printers should
be paid according to the provisions
of legislative acts Of 1894, 1908 and
1910 for work done.
At the time the opinion regarding the
printers compensation was rendered,
E,the act of 1912 relative TO public
printing had not been promulgated
and the attorney generals position
is of course subject to revision I'M
der the provisions of the new law.
Many years of practical experience
have demonstrated to the police jul
ries of Ascension and numerous other
parishes that it is far preferable
from every point of view to deal with
| the local officers under the salary
rather than the fee system. The
primary and most important adyan-
| tage is that of being able to estl-
mate the annual expenditures with
approximate accuracy, which cannot
be done when the indeterminate fee
| system is in vogue. When fixed sal
| aries can be paid a large amount OF
clerical work involved in the keep
| ing Of accounts, the. rendition, exam
iination and verification of fee bills
is avoided. There is certainly much
economy of time and labor effected
| by paying salaries instead OF fees,
and there is no ground for believing
/ that there would be any saving OF
money to the parish OF Ascension
by changing the present simple and
satisfactory plan for the old, cum
bersome and uncertain fee system.
| If police juries have not the legal
right and power to substitute sal
aries for fees in the case OF the
sheriff, district attorney, coroner ana
/ printer--as they have to pay fixed
compensation to the parish treas
urer, health officer, secretary OF the
police jury and other parochial off
Gals and employees--.then the sooner
the laws are amended 50 as to con-
fer this power the better it will be
for the interest Of the various par
ishes.
