The necessary information was fur

ADMIRAL sEMMES' GRAND
DAUGHTERS TAKE THE VEIL

Last week the chanel Of st. Cecilia

spread interest throughout the entire
southland especially in Alabama,

girls, made their vows for three years
to the Mother Superior there. Miss
Semmes will be known hereafter as
Sister Mary De Sales. At the end of
three years she will make her final
vows, which will be for life. Miss
Katherine Semmes, who will be
known hereafter as Sister Ann
Frances, will make her first vows the
9Th of December. The ceremony was
most interesting and impressive.
Fhe sermon was preached by Mon
Beignor d. ]. Murphy, OF the pro-
Cathedral, and the prayers said by
the convent chaplain. Father Parker;
the vows were made to Mother SUI
perior. The altar was decorated with
quantities of ascension lilies sent by

These young girls, who were gladly re-
nouncing the world and all of it's
pleasures for the church. first assembled
the altar where Father Murphy gave
each a black veil. Then they returned

who. as the novitiates made their

By State Association for Prevention
Of tuberculosis

The Minnesota Association for
the Prevention and Relief of TIT
berculosis begs to announce to the
public-and especially to the many
purchasers of Red Cross Christmas
Seals and to the Seal agents who
by their splendid cooperation the
past four seasons have made pos
sible state educational campaign
that has reached every city and
county that this is the last appeal
that will be made to the people of
Minnesota to buy seals for state
work.
We believe that the coming
legislature will pass the bills that
will be introduced providing for a
state supervised system of hospitals,
dispensaries, nurses, and enforced
sanitary regulations without which
things the death rate will not be
appreciably lowered and are resting
everything upon this belief. But
these bills and the reasons for them
must be brought to the attention of
every tax payer which will cost a
lot of money. So we need the as
sistance of the generous public
once more. All former and pros
pective seal agents are urged to
write at once to the State Red
Cross Seal Agent, Christopher
Easton, at the Old Capital, ST.
Paul for assignment of territory
supplies, etc,
We hope that every sales agent
will put redoubled vigor into the
campaign this year and so provide
the sinews of war for battle that
ought to mark the beginning of the
end.
This is fight that we ought all
to be proud to have been engaged
in and let us fight it to a finish.
Nothing above stated binds any
local association not to sell seals
after 1912 for the benefit of local
work for which the greater part of
the proceeds of previous sales have
been expended.

100000 Acres Of Land

Northern Minnesota will enter
into active competition with North
western Canada in an effort to
secure the settlers from middle
western states who are seeking new
lands in an undeveloped country.
Through the efforts of the Northern
Minnesota Development association
the advantages of the Gopher state
will be laid before land-seekers in
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and other
states.
Thirty-two million acres of land /,
more than IS per cent of which is
tillable, is unused in Northern
Minnesota, according to w. R.
Mackenzie, secretary of the North
ern Minnesota Development as
ISOLATION. This land offers a far
better investment than lands in
Canada.
The work and products of every
county in the northern portion of
the state is on display in our Min
neapolis show rooms" said Mr..
Mackenzie. I'VE now plan to
open similar show rooms in the
larger cities of Illinois, Indiana and
Iowa and possibly other states.
Northern Minnesota lands will
undoubtedly attract many buyers
when the advantages are properly
advertised. Thirty-fve counties
have now joined the association and
nearly all are giving active help.
Every county in the Red River val
ley north of Clay county is includ-
ed in the work. There are at least
$4,000, 1000 acres of land in these
thirty-fve counties that is not now
in use. Less than rs per cent of
the Minnesota side of the Red
River valley is under cultivation. !"
