Sixteen Million Catholics.

From the Literary Digest: The
official figures for the Catholic pop
ulation in the United States, from
the publishers of the official Catho-
lie directory, show an astonishing
increase of 913827 to the popula-
ton of this church for 1918, &C.
counted for principally by the first
authentic reports from the Ruthe-
man Creek bishop. This is the first
time all the Ruthenian Catholics
have been included in the census.
The editor of the directory places
the total number of Catholics at
16067 1856, and declares that this is
a very conservative figure, bellev-
ing that 10 per cent should be add
ed for floating population" The
church papers print this state
ment:
The official Catholic directory
for 1914 is replete with interesting
figures, According to its summary
there are 1858 Catholic priests in
the United States, an increase of
623 for the year. Among these
1858 clergymen there are 1854
priest of religious orders.
The new directory further shows
that 3S9 churches were established
in 1918, the total number of Catho-
lie churches in this country being
1861 OF these 9,740 have resi-
dent pastors, and 4,911 arechurches
attended from neighborine parishes.
The directory shows list of 50
Seminaries, 1852 seminarians, 23O
colleges for boys. $50 academies for
girls and 5,403 parochial schools.
In these 5,403 parochial schools,
1,429,859 children are receiving an
education which will fit them for
the world and give them the reli gi-
GUS instruction which is so neces-
sary under present day conditions.
! 1T must not be overlooked that
in addition TO these 1,429,S59 paro-
chial school children there are also
young men in colleges, academies
and universities. young women in
boarding schools and academies,
girls and boys in orphan asylums.
Adding all these it will be found
that 16S9,391 young people are re-
ceiving Catholic instruction.
The 1914 edition of this direc-
tory also shows that there Papa
500 Catholics under the protection
of the stars and stripes. This figure
is derived by adding the Catholics
in Alaska, the Canal Zone Guam,
the Hawaiian Islands, Porto Rico
and the Philippines to the tota
number of Catholics in the United
States proper"

Several years ago when the
Prairie Oil and Gas Company laid
one of their pipe lines through
Lomax, about a mile of the line
was covered with coal cinders.
These cinders have caused the pipe
to pit and destroyed it so badly
where they came in contact with
it that it has been found necessary
to replace the part so covered with
cinders with new pipe. and a force
