STUDYING IRISH AGRICULTURE.

STUDYING IRISH AGRICULTURE,
A group Of Americans who have
gone to Europe to study agricultural
conditions have seen At to extend
will be certain to discover. That is
that Americans are welcome there.
But their study of the agricultural
conditions is not likely to be in vain.
Ireland has not had the opportunities
to develop its agricultural resources
as it should, owing to the plague of
landlordism. But the Irish people
have made the best of the opportuni-
ties at hand.
The yearly exports Of Irish agricul-
tural products amount to 5000, 600, 900.
The amount consumed by the four
and quarter millions of people in
Ireland is estimated at $4,000, 900.
The total value of the agricultural
products would therefore amount to
approximately $3.50. 100000.
The best beef in the world is pro-
duced in Ireland. A study of the con-
ditions shows that ingenuity and en-
terprise enter into the agricultural
development of the country. This is
to be noted especially in the southern
counties where the people are raising
potatoes to catch the London market
when the season is past there. This
results in bringing to the Irish grow
ers and dealers the highest market
price for their products.
The one thing to which this agri-
cultural development is due is the
right of the people to own the land
on which they live. Under the sys-
tenn Of landlordism the soil naturally
was allowed to lose it's fertility. The
man who rents land never knows how
long he is to be in a place and, con-
sequently, has little incentive to i'm
prove the soil. The man who owns
little farm takes the opposite view.
1t is to his interest to make the land
on which he lives as productive as it
can be made. He labors accordingly
to fertilize the soil. The change has
worked magic in conditions in the
country. The current of Irish prog
ress is at the flow of the tide.

manager and the other as superin-
tendent Of the manufacture of the
work. AS their name was we'll known
in the publishing world there was no
reason why it should not be used for
the name OF the company.
Gradually, however, confusion arose
between the names of the two Apple
ton companies, so that the editors
and directors of the Encyclopedia de-
cided that it was advisable to change
the name. In choosing their new
title, The Encyclopedia Press, they
have chosen one that suits the char
acter of the publication already COM
pleted, while it will also be suitable
for other similar publications which
they are urged on all sides to under
take.
This change of name does not mean
that the company itself will be
changed in any sense, the directors,
officers. the board of editors, the ad.
ministration and the policy of the
company will remain; the same. Condo

TRIBUTE TO IRISH IN ENGLAND.

At Plymouth, England, few days
ago John Redmond paid a high trib-
ute to the Irish in England for their
steadfastness and continued assist
ance in passing measures effecting
the government of Ireland.
"In the old bad days. now gone,
never to return" he said, 1.-The lot Of
Irishmen in Great Britain was not a
very happy one and it required a good
deal Of courage. constancy, fidelity and
high principle for the Irish people of
those times to proclaim their faith
here In England and to stand up for
their ideals for their country. We all
know that the fact we are on the eve
Of final triumph of Home Rule is due
in large measure to the Irish people
Of Great Britain. They have always
been great power in this country,
and they are a great power now, and
I am sure that after Home Rule is
achieved, and when we Irish repre-
sentatives go back to our own Parlia-
ment to endeavor with our local
knowledge, and with ample time at
Cur disposal, to govern our country in
accordance with Irish ideals, they will
remain a great force on the side Of
every democratic cause in this coun-
try"
What the Irish leader has said of
the faithfulness Of the Irish people of
Great Britain to Ireland might be said
with equal aptness of the Irish in
America. And 1t is question If the
Irish in America do not deserve still
greater credit. The Irish in Great
Britain are nearer to ireland and
know the conditions there better than
the Irish in this country can know
them. But, nonetheless, Irish Amer
leans have not faltered in their duty
to their mother country. For their
mendation.

The shooting by Huerta's soldiers of
the United States officer at Juarez,
Mexico, was one of the events of the
week that threatened to precipitate
trouble between this country and
Mexico. 1t is not likely that war will
result, but the incident adds to the
seriousness of the situation. The act
was undoubtedly done by irrespons-
ible persons. But just such acts have
been known to stir up no end Of in
ternational trouble.

ST. THOMAS COLLEGE,
ST. PAUL, MIMI.
OFFERS EXCEPTIONAL ADvAN.,
TAGES.

The College of st. Thomas contin.
ues to forge ahead steadily. Scarce
ly dozen years ago it's roster showed
an attendance Of only two hundred
students; last year five commodious
modern buildings were taxed to hold
the six hundred and seventy students
who thronged it from all parts, and
plans for new buildings in view Of
further increase are under considera-
ton. To this remarkable growth
many causes contribute. st. Paul and
Minneapolis are the focus of a vast
network of railroads, and every rail-
road brings students to their schools.

educational advantages which parents
appreciate more and more. st. Thorn.

afford the spaciousness necessary for
all healthful recreation as we'll as the
seclusion necessary for an institution
Of education.
1t Is, however, upon it's system Of
education, thorough and comprehet
sive, that the College has established
its reputation. Those who wish to Sc
cure a liberal education choose
branches of learning that lead to the
degree of Bachelor of Arts or Bache-
lor of Science, while those who are
content with high school course find
every branch in that curriculum with.

for commercial pursuits, but also those
branches which form part of good
general education. Even young boys
who are not fit to enter the academic
or the commercial departments find a
preparatory course provided for them.
Thus st. Thomas offers a range of
studies sufficiently wide to meet the
and at the same time exercises the
kind and careful supervision that re-
lieves parents Of all the anxiety that
attends the education Of youth in it's

Perhaps the unique features of the
College is the fact that it unites with
the moral training for which it is
distinguished, the training which the
best military schools Of the country
offer to their students. st. Thomas
