crease, will approximate $l50,000 for
the year 1911, the largest sum collect
ed by the sO-called automobile tax
in the history Of the state. Vermont
is one of the pioneer states to rate
automobiles on the basis of horse pow
er and Mr.. Bailey is considered the
father of the law which has made il
possible to place such a large sum
into highways annually, which with
the 100000 highway appropriation
makes a grand total of upwards of
$3.50, coo which is Vermont s annual
contribution to the cause of good
roads and making her highways

months from March to July. For
these four months the fees according
to returns to the secretary of state,

This is a new scheme to get city peo-
pie into the country. We are having
calls for farms from people who wish
To coloHiZe and form small agricultural
clubs, where several medium priced
farms can be got III close proximity to
each other. They are purchased and
these people work them ana pay for
them on the instalment plan, the farms
are first bought by people who have
money thinking it a good Investment,
fruit. berries vegetables. etc, are the
crops that are raised, and small dairies
when the farms are large enough. Some
times these people are all of one ma
tiouality ana like to own where it is
possible all the land in their little neigh

We are taking options on small farms
within a radius of few miles of Brat

The fact that we take the options
does not always mean that they will

MISSION ANNIVERSARY.
SANTA YNEZ MISSION IN CALI
FORNlA OBSERVED THE 11OTH
ANNIVERSARY OF ITS FOUND
ING THIS WEEK.

One of the most interesting celebra-
tions of the season was held Septem-
ber 20, at Santa Ynez, Cal, when the
fathers of the Old Mission observed
the one hundred and tenth anniver-
sary of that ancient structure with
elaborate church services and a civic
program. In the services in the
church the officers of the Mass wore
the same vestments the old padres
wore over one hundred years ago.
There is no more interesting place
than the Santa Ynez mission, and the
fathers there are keeping the ancient
structure in preservation only through
personal sacrifices and through the
generous contributions of their friends
in Santa Barbara, and others towns
and cities on the coast
During the exercises Canine Real
bell, donated by the Los Angeles Dis
trict of California Federation Of Wom-
ems Clubs" was blessed by one Of

FOSTERING IRISH MELODIES
SOCIETY IN. DUBLIN PRESERVES
AND PUBLISHES TRADI-
TIoNAL FoLK-TUNEs.

Irish melodies have been poorly
recorded in the past, at least since the
days of Edward Bunting. And what
country in Western Europe is so rich
in folk-songs? Political conditions
have, no doubt, been largely against
any deep national interest in any
thing so intangible as a fiddle tune.
In out of the way places where
songs are to be heard the educated
musician seldom penetrates; he is
more likely to settle in Dublin or
Belfast or some other large town to
earn a living than to give much time
toward collecting" unpublished melo-
dies.
The chief work of preserving and
publishing the traditional tunes of the
country lies at the present day, with
the Feis Ceoil Association of Dublin
Since 1897, this association, which
holds it's annual festival, or Feis, in
Dublin, has offered a prize for "the
discovery, and vocal or instrumental
performance, of Irish melodies hither-
to unpublished" From the country
came fiddlers and pipers playing I'M
familiar tunes upon their instruments;
others sang or whistled airs that had
apparently never been noted before;
others brought in MSS. of unpub-
lished airs. In 1899 the association
offered two further prizes, and in a
few years rich harvest was theirs.

DEAN WOLF RESIGNS s
PASTOR OF ST. MARY'S PARISH,
GRAND ISLAND, NEB., FOR
BE CHAPLAIN OF ST. FRANCIS
HOSPITAL IN THAT CITY.

The Very Rev. Wunibald Wolf who

Church, Grand Island, Neb., owing to
the precarious state of his health, has
been appointed to the Chaplaincy of

Father Wolf was born in Westpha-
liza, Germany, February %, 1854. He
received his collegiate education at

and entered the st. Francis Seminary,
Milwaukee, where he was ordained on
June 27, 1880, for the Vicariate of
Nebraska. He was pastor of Greeley
for year and of Crete and it's mis-
sions for five years prior to his ap-
pointme to st. Mary's Church, Grand
Island. During his pastorate he built
a new church which was dedicated
on July Z, 1889, parochial school
which was opened in September, 1898,
and a parochial residence in 1907.
During all these years he has been
untiring in his efforts to promote the
spiritual and temporal welfare of his
congregation and the civic welfare OF
the people of Grand Island.

is warmly upheld in Ireland today by
the whole hierarchy. There is no
theological maxim more popular in
Maynooth than that which was the
basis of the policy of st. Patrick:
Grace does not destroy or supersede
nature; it purifies, elevates and en-
mobiles it. Thus, in Christian Erin the
title of Scribe became one of the most
honorable a man could have.
The Venerable Bede tells us that in
the time of the Bishops Finan and Col
man (652 and after) a multitude of
mobiles and others emigrated from Eng
land to Ireland where they found cor
dial welcome. The Irish gave them
lodging, support, books and teaching
free. From this it follows that there
must have been considerable multipli-
cation of books in Ireland in the sew
enth century of our era; so that the
art of writing with ease and elegance
must have been practiced to large
extent. So honorable had the title of
scribe, or copyist, become that it was
often used in the Irish Annals to en-
hance the dignity of Abbot and
Bishop. In process of time the scribe
became theological instructor. In ad-
dition to the Bible, the Church Canons
and the works of the Fathers, he had
a fair knowledge, in some cases, as
in that of ST. Cummian of Clonfert,
very considerable knowledge of the
literature, the history, the philosophy
of ancient Greece and Rome. The
Book of Armagh itself shows an init
mate acquaintance with the Latin
Classics and an ease of reference to
them such as characteriZes the aca-
demic atmosphere of culture at all
times, and, indeed, became mere
commonplace in later Irish literature
Thus the scribe became fear
leighinn" "lector" or "Vir lectionis." :"
a man of reading and learning. The
Irish fear leighinn' is the equivalent
of the medieval magister or master,
the modern Master of Arts, or rather
the Doctor of Literature of the Bri-
tish Universities and the Doctor of
Philosophy of the Germans. Needless
to say, the Christian scholar, reading
and writing in his monastic cell, en-
joyed the sans high repute among
the Irish people as the pagan scholars
had enjoyed before st. Patrick came
1t. is worthy of notice that the Life of
st. Martin of Tours by the eminent
Christian historian, Sulpicius Sever
us, was for long ages one of the highly
priced of Christian books. This was
due of course to the charm of true
piety and the spiritual JUNCTION of it's
author; but as a piece of literature,
model of biographical work and a
specimen of the purest Latinity, it
was worthy of the honor of preser-
vatiOn in many copies throughout
Europe. The fact that it was deemed
worthy of inclusion in the Book of
Armagh, side by side with the New
Testament and the documents relat-
ing to st. Patrick, is no mean testi-
mony to the high standard of literary
appreciation attained in the monastic
schools of ancient Ireland.

URUGUAY's NEW CALENDAR
INFIDEL GOVERNMENT ABOL
ISHES SUNDAY AND ALL
CHRISTIAN FEASTS..

The question of the reform of the
calendar has been settled-by Uru-
quay. Uruguay, it is true, is not ex-
actly the hub of the universe 1t is
a little South American republic with
a population of a million and a quar-
ter, twenty-five per cent of which is
made up of foreigners, mostly Italians,
Spaniards and Brazilians, and nearly
one-third of which is centered in the
capital, Montevideo. The Archdiocese
of Montevideo has been vacant since
the death of the late Archbishop
Soler in 190S-the Pope having been
unable to appoint a successor to him
owing to the difficulties raised by the
government Last March new presi-
dent was elected in the person of
Signor Jose Battle y Ordenez. He
will not enter into Office until next
year, but in order to give the Catholic
population and the whole civilized
world taste of his quality he has
already presented to the congress OF
Uruguay a bill abolishing the Grego
rian calendar and substituting for il
the calendar of the French Revolu
ton, in which every week has ten
days, from which all Christian feasts
including the Sunday, have been ex
plunged, and which contains a whole
decade of civil feasts Senor Battle
is evidently very enterprising man
and he will probably succeed in pass
ing his law, but the good people O
Uruguay will continue to use theil
old calendar with its Sundays anC
feasts, and the rest of the world il
not in the least likely to follow Senol
Battles lead.
