Solemn and Beautiful Service at St.
Mary's Catholic Church.

Last Sunday was festive day at ST.
Mary's church when class of twenty
six boys and girls received solemn holy
communion, namely:
John Gray, Jr., Herman Gilman,
Charles Morgan, Robert Springer, Carl
Grimm, Henry Schaumburg, William
Till and Fred Sieger and Misses Mary
GRADER, Helen Gerlach, Mary Kieffer,
Irene McMurrough, Genevieve Daum,
Genevleve Schaaf, Magdalena Finkel-
meyer, Edna Schmitz, Josephine Brick,
Mary Unterholzner, Ida Stude, Loretta
Norman, Genevieve Polzkill Katherine
Thrasher Leona Eckstein, Gertrude
Engels and Hedwig Sieger.
AT nine O'Clock St. Joseph's Society
and the Catholic Knights stood in line
from the school house to the church
and the Communicates, four little lily
carriers, the pastor, Rev. Nicholas
Weyer and Alcolytes, preceded by a
cross bearer and the Child Jesus society
with their banner, marched through to
the church. At the church the mem
bers of the societies stood each side of
the center aisle, while the communi-
cants preceding the pastor and Alco-
lytes passed on to the Sanctuary,
where all knelt and in perfect order
took their places.
After the renewal of the baptismal
vows, Rev. Weyer delivered two APP
propriate sermons, one in English and
the other in German, after which hip
mass was celebrated. During this
mass, when the time came to receive,
the pastor stood near the center of the
altar and the children went up two and
two to receive holy communion. 1t was
an impressive sight to see the little
girls in white with wreaths and wells
and the boys in their devotion.
The affairs and sanctuary were a
scene of beauty, decorated with many
flowers. The special music and sing
ing by the choir was well rendered.
AS the day was ideal the seating
capacity of the church was taxed to
the utmost. Solemn benediction and
TIE Deum closed the beautiful service.

dangerous explosives there is little
wonder that thousands of smaller cities
and towns have also barred the old
time riot Of death and destruction
As result of this movement the
Fourth Of July deaths last year, as
recorded by the Journal Of the
American Medical Association, were
only 81, as compared with l3l in 1910
juries was reduced in equal proportion.
The fire losses due to the celebration
were almost negligible in the cities in
which the Sane Fourth was observed,
rs against the former expectation that
the day would break all records for the
number Of alarms These benefits
be if the municipalities will enact and
enforce the necessary ordinances and
the public sentiment Of the community
will stand behind them. Independence
Day should mean too much to the
nation and the individual in these times
Of change and progress to permit it's
lessons to be obscured by an orgie Of
fire and noise. Conservation is now the
watchword, and II proper celebration
Of the day will save the lives and limbs
of thousands of victims to the cannon
cracker and toy pistol and prevent the
destruction Of millions Of dollars
worth of property by fire. SO push the

Agriculture Menaced BY Pests
and Diseases.

That the United States stands con
stantly in danger of having some agri
cultural pest or disease introduced from
foreign country, just as the San Jose
scale was introduced from China about
80 years ago, that will absolutely ruin
certain branches of agriculture, was one
of the significant statements made by
Edward A. Seaton Minot, n D., the
speaker who represented the students of
the College of Agriculture at the com
mencement exercises of the university
of Wisconsin. The only way to ward
off this peril, said Mr.. Seaton, is to pro
vide n strict system of quarantine which
will rigidly exclude all diseased plants
from the country and good domestic
quarantine system that will confine de-
structive insects and plant diseases to
the localities where they are discovered.
The cotton boil weavel which has done
millions of dollars worth of damage in
the south, Mr. Seaton declared, was first
noticed in Il small strip of territory in
southern Texas. AT that time an en-
tomologist recommended to the state
legislature that cotton growing be pro-
hibited in this section until the pest
could be destroyed. The man was
laughed at by the Legislators, however,
and within few years the cotton boil
weavel had spread over the greater part
south and was causing millions of dol
lars worth Of damage.

that it could be repaired before the
