Mr.. Can and Mr. Can't.

Oh, Mr.. Can't from MIR. Can
Is very different sort of man.
For Mr.. Can he always tries,
And Mr.. Can't he always cries;
Now Mr.. Can ge-s many blow,
But he gets the best in the end, you
know.
While Mr.. Can't gets nothing at
all
For he's down too low to suffer a
fall,
Oh: Mr.. Can gets up with a grin,
And he says: I'm bound in the
end to win"
But Mr. Can't is a pitiful sight,
For he's whipped before he's begun
the fight;
And he says it puzzles him quite a
lot
Why some can win ands0mecan not.
Oh, poor Mr.. Can't. he never knew
The secret I'm going to whisper to
e. you;
That you can win if you ONLY try,
And you certainly can't if ycu only
cry.
And that is the reason why Mr.. Can
FlOm Mr. Can't is different man.

CleanUp.

Warm weather is approaching
and the refuse and rubbish will be-
Gin to decay and give off gases
which will be injurious to the gen,
eral health and will also become
the breeding place for flies and 9TH
er insects which cause disease. 1t
is a fact that many epidemics have
been traced to filthy conditions.
This being true there should be a
general cleaning up of all places
which might cause auy sickness.
Then again, clean places lock so
much better that even the appear
ance is worth more than the cost.
Therefore both for sanitary and bet
ter appearance there should be a
general cleaning up of streets, al
leys, and the front and back yards
all over town. Do it now few
days may be so late that disease
which may carry off some loved one
may have been established.

GREAT GROWTH OF THE
CATHOLIC CHURCH

made under the nine years pontiticate
of Pope Plus X The figures as made
public show an exceptionally strong
growth of The church in the United
| States, SO much SO that the promise is
| openly made that Pope Plus is consid-
ering plans for creating new dioceses
in the United States and giving that
country an entirely new ranking
amongst the Catholic states of the
world.
In order to understand the figures
which have just been compiled the
Vatican has also issued an explanatory
statement showing the manner in
which the Catholic church is estab-
lished and developed in new territory
There are explained five distinct
stages. First mission is established
in the new territory by one or more
authorized priests. When this mission
has developed sufficiently it is made
an apostolic prefecture consisting of
the original mission with other mis-
sions under it's jurisdiction, and with
an apostolic project in charge who is
armed with specials powers from the
Holy See. When the prefecture has
expanded more fully it is organized
into vicariate apostolic and is gov
erned by titular bishop. This con-
tinues, until it can be organized into
an archdiocese with suffragan do
ceses depending on it.
Under this system, during the nine
years reign of Pope Plus x there has
been established one mission, this at |
Dryate River, May 4, 1910. After
This there have been opened 81 prefec- \
lures apostolic, these being estab-
