MISSION NOTES

c'Let the wicked forsake his ways
and the unjust man his thoughts. and
let him return TO the Lord, and He
will have mercy on him, for He is
bountiul TO forgive. Isaiah 55. 2.
During the mission apply yourself
earnestly to your salvation,
30 to the morning exercises as well
as to the evening sermon. The exer-
cises are so arranged that one follows
the other like the links in q cnain.
If you lose one link the chain is brok-
en-.
The service you neglect may offer
the grace you need to make the mis-
sion well.
Prepare to make thoroughly good
confession and a very good deyont
Communion.
The Mission affords an opportunity
to blot out the sinful past and make
new start in the service Of God.
A Mission is not a passing event;
it should leave deep and lasting i'm
preston, and be the beginning of a
permanent conversion to God.
1t is time of earnest prayer.
1t is a period of recollection.
1t is the seed time Of everlasting
life.
And it all depends or how one at.
tends the exercises.
The Mission is for Non Catholics as
well as for Catholics.
The question box placed at the
church door will be for their inquiries
which will be answered fully and
frankly.
At z O'Clock each evening Father
Monaghan will meet non-C Catholics at
the rectory for personal conference
about religious questions. We rely
on jealous Catholics to bring their
non-cathohc friends to the services.
and particularly to these interviews,
upon which the effect of the Mission
mainly depends.
Pray for them.
Invite them to accompany you to

Bring them to the rectory early in
the evening.
Hours for Confession. Mission In
dulgences and all other information
will be given on the opening Sunday.
Christ said to the apostles, "Come
ye apart and rest a while." 1t is
good for every soul at stated periods
to go apart from the affairs Of daily
life and to consider anew it's relation
with God. The Mission Is the
Church's way Of affording this oppor-
tunity. 1t is q special season when
holy men who have been trained to
the work by long years of study and

SELECTING AND CAR
ING FOR SEED CORN
By DR.. II. H. Stoaer,
Superintendent Of Farmers

Institutes.
No one will ever know the loss that
was sustained in South Dakoto the
present year by planting Door seed
corn. II the loss could be computed
1t would run up into millions OF buah-
els. Ask almost any farmer why he
has such poor stand of corn and he
will nearly Invariably, answer you in
single word, -" Cut worms"
Well, the cut-worms have destroy
ed thousands Of acres OF corn this
year but all the poor stands Scan not
be laid at his door. Poor weed hss
prbably had as much to do with poor
stands as cut worms. It is much
more easy to control the seeG chan it
is to control cut-worms. An article
will soon appear In these columns on
"cut-worms', for the present wish
to consider the question of good seed
corn.
The first essential In securing good
| seed corn Is to select the ears that
have gotten rips prior to the average
time of our first frost. In the cent
raj part of the state the first frost
usually occurs about September 18th.
Seed corn in that part OF the state
should therefore he selected prior to
that date. II 1t does not frost until
October 1st and seed corn picking is
deferred until that time many ears
will be selected that were not ripe
at the average time of the frost and
the probabilities are that the plants
from these ears will all get nipped by
the frost the following year. The
tendancy is to select the largest ears.
The largest ears get ripe last and il
one waits until after the first frost TO
select his seed corn, II frost comes
later than usual, he is very liable to
have his corn frost bitten.
In selecting an ear of seed corn
from the stock remember that all the
corn from that ear next year will
resemble very clsely the character
isJics Of the seed ear. II it grew on
La large stalk neaalv all the stalks
next year viii be large; If the ear
had a long shank, practically all the
shanks will be long next year; il the
seed ear droops on the stalk all of
it's progeny viii droop, In short the
characteristics OF the entire plant
will be reflected in next years. crop.
Select an ear that is ripe. Select
an ear that is growing on stalk just
high enough to husk easily. Select
an ear that droops enough to shed
water easily. Select an ear that Is
filed out well on the tip and the but.
The next and most important step
of all is TO dry 1t. DO not throw it
it down In pile to dry because IL
you do it will heat and its germina-
tion win then be poorer than crib
corn. A good plan is to tie the ears
together with stout cord and hang
them in an airy place where they
will rapidly dry out. But in tying
them care should be taken that the
ears do not touch each Other. There
are many seed corn RACKS on the
market at this time. They are all
good and serve their purpose admir-
ably.
After the seed Is thoroughly dry. 1t
should never be allowed to become
damp afterward. Freezing damp
corn is what kills the germ. It
should be stored for the winter in the
dryest place on the Promises. Hard
freezing will not injure perfectly dry
seed corn. Light freezing will injurs
damp seed corn.

Attaching the Elephant
BY CHARLES B. LEWIS

The circus and menagerie Of Jones s.

greater part of its menagerie consiSted
Of the elephant Abdul. and Abdul had
become old and irritable and no longer
saw things with the friskiness Of other
days. He was being most carefully
watched when the show arrived at
ClementsvilIe
Jones & Jones had had to offer so
cents on the dollar to their creditors
at the last three stands, and when the
exhibition at Clementsville was over
they could not pay certain farmers for
oats, hay and straw. One farmer. the
largest creditor, refused to take n note
OF hand His claim was for $40, and
he rushed to see Mr.. Taylor, the law
yer, about 1t.
Your claim is good, and all we have
to do is to attach something was the
lawyers announcement. "As the ele-
phant is the biggest and most valua-
BILE thing they have, we will attach
him. The circus won't move on with
ont him. Your case will be settled
And so the elephant was attached
The constable saw the creditor, and
arrangements were made to take Alb
dul out to the farm. He figured that
he was going to get a soft thing, and,
much to the astonishment Of the cir
Gus folk, he went along in contented
manner and finally brought up In the
farmers barn. Then the real history
of the case began. Jones & Jones left
town with smiles. That meant that
the suit would have to be adjourned
when called and that ultimately it
would be decided in the farmers IA
vor; also that he would find himself
with an elephant on his hands. He
found that out even within the first
hour.

house. Then he wanted Il quarter of

elephants that were still knocking
around the country. Night had no,

bed happy. The farmer again con-
suited the lawyer. The latter had been
making elephants study for the last
four hours.
Yes. all the cost Of lAbdurs keep and
all the damage he did while in the
hands Of the law would be assessed on
Jones & Jones when the case was de-
cided against them, as it surely must
be. Just go right back home and give
that elephant whatever he wanted and
1t would be all right.
On the second day Abdul broke his
chains and pulled a ton of hay from
/ the NOV. Then he wanted a drink,
and when the farmer cut him of with
five barrels Of water he trumpeted
wildly and broke up the tanning mill,
the corn shelter and some stray boards
and beams.
VERY irregular and improper on the
part Of Abdul" declared the lawyer,
but Of course Jones s. Jones will settle.
They must settle. They must have
him with their show"
On the third day Abdul demanded
seven barrels Of water, half a ton OF
hay and most of the pumpkins grow
ing on the farm and then broke down
the doors and piled the fragments in a
| neat heap and set out on a voyage OF
discovery. He discovered the smoke.
house and chicken coop and dairy
house and upset them. He discovered
the family we'll and yanked the pump
out by the roots and threw 1t over the
house. He discovered the house itself
and smashed all the windows and
doors. Then he passed into the orchard
and pulled up twenty-one apple trees
to show that he was no buffer. He
had leveled forty rods Of fence and
torn down Il wagon shed and tossed 9
reaper and mower sky high when he
entered mammoth mudhole and
drowned.
The lawyer said Abduls proceedings
could be legally criticised, but thai
there was no question as to how the
suit would go. There wasn't Jones &
Jones came back and won it and made
the county pay them $1,000 for the
loss OF their elephant while in ths
hands OF duly elected constable. Ani
then Jones & Jones, the clown, the
bareback riders. the tight rope walk
er and other circus people smiled ant
winked. and Lawyer. Taylor realized
he had had his chance and was no,
equal to the occasion. k5Al
