The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1914-04-11

The Editors of The Catholic Ency-
clopedia have finished the Index of
this great work and issued it in
separate volume containing $50 pages.
The Index proper occupies IT'S pages,
and contains fully 100000 titles and
over 100000 references. 1t is the
work Of a trained staff of indexers
who have spent nearly six years in it's
preparation.
Instead of waiting for the compile
tion of the Encyclopedia they began
their task after the publication of the
Fourth Volume, so that from that
time, November 1908, until the issue
of Volume Fifteen, November, 1912,
they had the opportunity of testing
the value of the topics selected.
Titles of these topics are: the sub
ject of the articles themselves; lead
ing points or divisions of subjects
occurring in the articles; reference
to these subjects occurring in other
articles; subjects on which there are
no special articles; in addition, the
title of every article contained in the
work has been entered under various
classified names, such as art, litera-
ture, science, education, music,
philosophy, theology, history, sociol-
ogy, etc. Only those subjects have
been entered in the Index, concerning
which specific information is given at
the place indicated. Mere dictionary
definitions have not been entered nor
have foreign words unless they have
at least a technical currency in Eng
lish.
Besides the Index, this volume con-
tains so pages of Courses of Read
ing" in the various subjects which are
treated in the Encyclopedia, grouped
together in logical sequence, and the
divisions and subdivisions of the gen.
eral subjects which have been treated
alphabetically throughout the work,
so that those who wish can find COM
plete treatises in every branch Of
knowledge that has to do with the
doctrine, history and practices of the
Catholic Church or with the activity
and achievement of it's members.
Another section of this volume,
about 80 pages, contains articles, ad-
ditional to the complete work, supply
ing information chiefly about promi-
nent persons deceased, dioceses
erected, ecclesiastical 1egislations en-
acted and subjects suggested since the
issue of the volumes in which these
subjects might have appeared in al
phabetical order.
Finally, in this volume 80 pages are
devoted to a list of Auxiliary Pro
moters" and Patrons of Record"
nearly 5000 in number, who by paying
their subscription for the full Ency-
clopedia before its completion helped
to make it financially possibility
This Index will make the volumes
proper of the Encyclopedia immensely
more valuable than they would have
been without it. It also serves to
reveal the vast and varied information
contained In the work as well as the
complete and thorough treatment of
the subjects discussed

reports received at Chicago late to day,
the state of Kansas is I'm need OF rain.
1t Is said chat nine or the big counties
of that State arc resccsling wheat, and
that "a great deal of the crop failed to
terminate and is dead. a Kansas city

Missouri man, who is well posted on
crop conditions, says that after motor
ing over Northern Kansas for three
weeks and covering five counties thor
ouShiy. he found the wheat crop in
bad shupc owing to drought He made
a personal examination of many fields,
ana found great deal OF the wheat
dead. These conditions have caused the
farmers of that state not only. TO hold
their surplus with atiphtcned grip, but
they are allowing their wheat to re-
main in the stacks for the present. and
the bins on the farms or in country
elevators at the stations. 1t looks as
n the producers in the Sunnowcr State
have made Il strong stand for s1.O5 and

the tremendous advantages that must
accrue At lcast one district In the

spirit of the movement, and the dis

In another respect Mccklenburg has
been fortunate. She has been selected
by the United States government as
one OF the seven counties in the State
in which facts and figures will be col
lected and tabulated to show just how
much In dollars and certs the counties
have benefited by the expenditure of
road funds. This survey in Meclklen-
burg County has not yet been COM
plctcd, but IL Is safe to predict that
dividend on the amount invested
A similar survey in Spotsylvania
County showed an annual dividend of
41.6 per cent, or $4,000 saved annually
in hauling over the roads. which cost

dividend by reason Of the fact that her

other crop in the South.
On this account the tonnage hauled

would seem excusable to say a word In
regard to the writer's home town.
