The annual Hibernian field day, to
be held at St. Thomas College
grounds on Sunday, Aug. 16, prom
Uses to be one of the most important
events of the year in Hibernian cir
cles and is being held under the aus
pices of the Hibernians of Hennepin
and Ramsey counties. In the ath.
letic contests there are sixteen
events with first, second, and third
prizes for each event. In addition
to the athletic contests there are
various dancing contests, including
Irish jigs and reels. A program of
music has also been arranged and
everybody will be entertained from
the time the program opens. No
time or energy has been spared by
the committee to make this affair
one of the most successful Hibernian
field days the Hibernians have un-
dertaken. The athletic ground Of
St. Thomas College is an ideal place
for holding athletic events and is
one of the best arranged and con-
venient grounds in the Twin Cities,
in addition to being one of the best
athletic fields in the country. The
committee in charge Of the affair
have been fortunate in securing Hon.
Daniel w. Lawler of St. Paul as
orator of the day. Mr.. Lawler is al
ways at home and in his happiest
vein when speaking to the Hiberni-
ans and what he will have to say on
the occasion of the Hibernian field
day will be of Importance to the Irish
Americans of the Northwest. Judg-
ing from the interest taken the field
day this year promises even to sur
pass the glorious event Of last year
when thousands of Hibernians and
their friends gathered at the
grounds of st. Thomas College.

EPISCOPAL CHURCH DECLARES
AGAINST CHILD LABOR
EVIL.
Pointed Out in Annual
RanOpt


Condemnation of child labor is a
feature of the annual report of the
Social Committee of the Scranton,
Pa, diocese of the Episcopal church,
which says:
ut is almost trujem to say that
the labor of children at an early age
is physically and mentally detri-
mental. There is not enough ener.,
giving work to go round, and the di-
visions of labor tend to offer an
enervating effect upon the brain,
while the form of the work is often
cramping, and stuffy room will
produce the usual results. The boy
traders upon the street form lad
companionships. and the disreput-
able places to which they are obliged
to 60 accustom them to evil at an
early age. The all-day worker is
removed from school, his opportrn-
tiles for an education, even the most
meager, are curtailed, as the David
Livingstones who study at the shut
tie are few and far between. The
fact of child labor is not due entirely
to the capacity of the employer as is
often supposed, but more frequently
to the necessities of the laborcr' 3
home, and the desires of the children
themselves.
There are at present $4,000
boys and girls under sixteen years
of age in factories and many more
thousands in other pursuits The
Pennsylvania Child Labor Associa-
tion will petition the Legislature to
make it illegal for children between
fourteen and sixteen to wcrk more
than eight hours day. and more
than six days a week; TO abolish
night work for children, and street
trade for boys under twelve and
girls under eighteen. Upon the right
for the two latter requests VIC arc
positive and If the former would
cause ruinous reduction in the
family income, cannot the pay for
those eight hours be raised? The
committee urges you to study this
question, and if your conscience
permits, to use your influence for
remedial measures"

that when the British regulars are

teers. in whom the government has
full confidence"
Premier Asquith explained that
Earl Kitchener, the new secretary Of
war, is now assisting the Irish vol
unteers in perfecting their organi-
cation.
Asquith announced that Lord
Kitchener, minister of war, has d.
rected the raising of second volun-
teer army of 100000 men. This an
nouncement is interpreted as mean
ing that the entire available British
army is now under orders for service
on the continent and that a good
portion of it is already there.
Every possible reprisal is to be
made against Germany. w. l.. Run

workers visited forty counties in ALL
they were accompanied in the various
counties by total of 1896 people and
1877 automobiles were required to haul
them. Some 800 different farms were
visited and at each one some special
investigation and discussion We're en-
gagged in. Fayette county won the
honors for largest interest, 1870 cars
carrying almost 700 people joining in
the tour there.
"The tours were of unusual value"
says Acting Director of Agricultural
Extension r. c. Taft. because we had
conditions and discuss them with so
many progressive farmers in every
county. Moreover. our extension work
ers both taught and were taught. In
exchange for what they gave, they got

thru the small nodules that grow Oh
their roots. When legumes are turned
under for green manures, the supply
of nitrogen in Iowa soil may be main
tanned indefinitely.
The other two important elements,
phosphorus and potassium, are taken
out in amounts Of about s14,O00.000
each annually Much of this is re-
turned every year thru manures when
they are properly taken care Of and
thru corn stalks and stubble that are
rlowed under, but even then there is a
large net loss. Mr.. Brown says that
generally the phosphorus content is
low in Iowa soils and sooner or later
will have to be supplied; as for
potassium. the supply seems to be
larger If corn were grown continu-
ously on the best soil of the state, and
the corn stalks plowed under every year,
but no manures or other fertilizer
added. the phosphorus supply in that
SOIL Mr.. Brown estimates. would last
about ninety years. That indicates ne
says, the Importance of proper ma
nuring and rotations.
Iowa Soils Need Lime.
The survey disclosed that very gem
orally Iowa soils need lime to keep them
in good condition for crop production.
1t has been commonly supposed that
the lime in the soil would last for
many ears to come. but it teaches out
rapidly and is also removed in other
ways AS lime goes out. the soil be-
comes sour and most crops suffer,
some like alfalfa, very seriously.
The situation demands the best
thought of Iowa farmers, but Mr.
Brown makes this encouraging state
ment: Iowa soils do not need to wear
out. If the moisture of the soil be
regulated by cultivation and drainage:
if crops be rotated correctly: if farm
manures be cared for right and used
with green manures; if some eaos-
pilates be added as needed; and if lime
be applied Iowa soils may be kept
permanently fertile. These things need
to be looked after, however. or Iowa
agriculture may repeat the history of
the agriculture in eastern states.
