a beef shortage of nearly five hundred
million pounds since the first of jan

interest in the articles in The Iowa

al and profitable beef production. The
Homestead is the greatest farm paper
of the West and is entitled to liberal
patronage. We club it with our paper
at the low price of $500 per year for
both publications. Farmers who can
devote some time to canvassing for
subscriptions to The Homestead may
learn of a most liberal offer by writing
to James M. Pierce, publisher of The

towns people, the majority of whom
were either sectarian or of no fixed
persuasion.
There are four hundred Mexican
Catholics in the town, and the priest
strongly urges the establishment of
the Catholic school, and the construc-
ton of a church to hold at least two
hundred people. Our friends, the
enemy, are making frantic efforts to
buy the Mexicans away from their
faith, and the priest is of the opinion
that they will do it unless assistance
reaches him quickly, and substantially.
The business men of the section
have already been disappointed by
Baptist and Presbyterian collectors,
and now bear out the truth of the
old proverb, "Once bitten, twice shy"
The Extension Society recently for
warded about 100000 to help this mis-
sionary, the receipt of which he
acknowledges; but he insists that with
cut assistance to the extent, at least,
of $4,000, that things will be in bad
boys and girls practically interested
in their religion, with sodalities, etc.
He has an order more popular than
the Boy Scouts, namely, the Knights
of Our Lady.
The Catholic Church Extension So
ciety will be pleased to forward to
this missionary any gift addressed to
1888 Mccormick Building, Chicago,
ILL.,, to enable him to build the chapel
and school that he so urgently needs.

THE MONTH OF THE SACRED
HEART.

We have no doubt that the friends
of the Missions will have special de-
votions to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
during the month consecrated to Him.
May We suggest that one of the best
ways to show their love for Our Lord
is to work that He may be better
known throughout the world.
There are over one thousand mil
lions of men and women in pagan
and non-Catholic countries who do not
love the Sacred Heart of Jesus, be-
cause they do not know Him!
They are laboring in darkness and
the shadow of death, because the in
vitation of our gentle Saviour, Come
to Me all you that labor and are bur.
dened, and l will refresh you," has
not reached them as yet!
They are crushed under the yoke OF
Satan because they do not know that
the yoke of Jesus is sweet, and His
burden light, and that under it they
will find rest to their souls!
A pious practice for the month OF
June is to interest some of our friends
in the work of missionaries; they are
endeavoring to bring about the reali
cation of this wish of the Sacred
Heart: II have come to cast fire on the
earth, and what will l but that it be
kindled!"

MORE ABOUT PRoSELYTIZING IN
TEXAS.

A priest in Texas has written
statement to the Church Extension
Society of the troubles he has been
experiencing at mission in the State
served by him. He relates how he
tried, without success, to get a Cath
Ole teacher placed in the Mexican
public school. To his great disap-
pointment a Baptist widow of fifty
years of age was selected. This strong
minded creature did very well at first,
but soon commenced working hard
for converts"
The usual tactics were adopted
the appeal to the stomach. Sandwich
picnics were held on Good Friday,
and strange songs were sung. The
good lady introduced the Protestant
Bible into the school, and circulated
little memory gems" The priest
quickly got on the proselytizer's track,
and after strenuous efforts in the way
of public and private denunciation of
her practices, the teacher was dis
charged, much to the chagrin of the
