The SCRUB FARMER
BY NJ. sUYDAM

The doctor goes to college.
The lawyer does the same,
The professor goes to some good schoo
To get training for his brain.
The electrician aud the printer,
And experts with fine tools,
Get their primal education
In some special training schools.
But Farmer Brown sits back
And laughs in great disdain.
To think successful farming
Requires an active brain.
But Farmer Browns forgotten
That the time has passed away,
When uneducated farmers
Can farm. and make it pay.
So when you see old Brown again.
Just give him this advise,
The Normal Course in Agriculture
Is worth many times its price.
Tell him to send that boy of bis
To the AgRiFallian Club,
And when he gets 30 be q man..
He wiz be no farmer scrub

In going over files for Thirty
Six Years Ago" items this week
we found one in the Ellsworth
correspondence which reads as
follows: "The temperance wave
has not yetreached u.s." That item
was written for the Journal Of
February l, 1877-thirtysix years
ago. 'Twould be shame to take
advantage of this record and make
mean comment, but it might make
a gooo problem for some of the
mathematical sharks to look up
the rate that a Temperance waye"
travels and figure up the time that
it will take said wave to reach"
the county seat. Of course they
will have to take into consideration
the fact that the wave gets a bad
setback during county fair week.

OLDEST CARDINAL PASSES.

Pope Plus X. was deeply grieved
when told last Saturday morning
that Cardinal Luigi Oreglia di Santo
Stefano Aloysius, dean of the Sacred
College, had passed away the pre-
ceding night. Although the aged
Cardinals death had been expected,
the Pope sustained a shock when
Monsignor Giovanni Bressan in
formed him as caustiously as DOS
sible of tie occurrence. The Pom
tiff has frequently expressed great
appreciation of the energy with
which Cardinal Oreglia conducted
the affairs of the Vatican during the
interregnum between the death of
Pope Leo XIII. and mis- own election.
The Cardinal was eighty-five years
old and was the only surviving Car
dinal created by Pope Plus TX.
Luigi Oreglia di Santo Stefano was
head of the Cardinal Bishops, or
dean of the Sacred College. He was
born at Benevagienna, diocese of
Mondovi, on July 8, 1928, and was
created and proclaimed a Cardinal
by Pope Plus TX. on December 22,
1873. He was Bishop of Ostia and
Velletti, Archchancellor of the
Roman University and Prefect of the
Congregation of Ceremonies, and
came OF a royal family.

OF many reforms under his admins
tration as Warden of the Kentucky
State Reformatory and the State

half holiday on Saturdays, segrega-
tion of the tubercular prisoners, bet
ter quantity and variety of foods,

among the prisoners, thereby encour-
aging the strong to help the weak in
their daily tasks. In addition to the
above reforms and Improvements
the net earnings of the prison have
increased $6,SO5.33 for the first
eight months of the new administra-
tion compared with that of the same

FAREWELL.

Rev. John O'Connell, for years
pastor of st. Augustine's church in
Jeffersonville, was rendered a recep-
tion Tuesday night on the eve Of his
departure for Indianapolis, where he
will be the irremovable rector OF st.
Patrick's church. Father 0'Connell
had endeared himself to the people
of Jeffersonville, and the reception
was the largest ever held in that
city, being attended by Catholics and
nom Catholics, rich and poor, pro-
fessional, business and workingmen,
who were anxious to express regret
at his departure while rejoicing over
his promotion. AS token of their
esteem and affection Father O'Con-
nell was presented with a purse of
about $500. His successor, Rev.
Michael Halpin, is now in charge OF
st. Augustine's. Father Halpin is an
able and energetic young priest, and
the congregation is fortunate in hav-
Ing him for their pastor.

UPHOLDs LIBERTY.

81 do not wish to see the day
when the church will invoke and re-
ceive Government aid to build our
churches or subsidize our clergy"
said Cardinal Gibbons in a sermon
at the Cathedral in Baltimore last
Sunday. 'For then the civil rulers
might dictate the doctrines we were
to preach. May the happy condi-
tions now existing among us al
ways continue; when the relations
between the clergy and the people
will be direct and immediate; when
Bishops and priests will bestow on
their spiritual children their volun-
tary labors, and when they will re-
ceive in return the free will offer
ings, the devotion and gratitude of
their beloved flocks." The Cardinal
said that whenever any encroach-
ment on the sacred rights of civil
and religious liberty have been made
by protesting members of the
church these wrongs, far from be-
ing perpetrated with her sanction,
were committed in palpable violation
of her authority"

GOOD THING CAME.

That good things come to those
who deserve them and are willing to
wait" is an old Irish saying that has
ever proved true, and is vouched for
by Charles Weissenberg, the genial
advertising man for ]. Bacon's Sons.
Last Sunday morning the Stork Wis
tied his home, 1921 Eastern park
way, and as consequence there is
now there a fine ten-pound boy, and
may the good Lord prosper him and
his. The new arrival will be known
through life as Charles Thomas, the
name being selected by the four
sisters. and when the christening
takes place there will be a good
sized reunion of relatives and
friends.

ways with the order, of which he has
been a member about a quarter OF
a century. Attorney Will McDon-
ogh gave little synopsis Of present
home rule prospects and prophesied
a bright future for Ireland. Other
talks were made by Joseph Meehan,
Harry s. Hennessy, Thomas Dignan
and Patrick O'Donnell, the latter
surprising all with a flow Of elo-
quence, his speech being the hit of
the evening. John H. Hennessy,
