LOCAL PASTOR VOICES REGRET
FELT IN M'ssouLA At DEATH
OF CHURCH HEAD

News of the tragic circumstances
of the death of Pope Plus has pro-
foundly affected people Of all classes
and creeds In MssouIa. Everywhere
are heard expressions OF general
sorrow that the pontiff whose life was
such an Influence for world good
should have died while Europe was
sunk III the great war against which
he had preached and labored 50 hard.
Appreciation Of the pope's life is gem
eral. -=4s
Father p. I. Delon spoke briefly Of
fthe pontiff yesterday. THE Cath
olic world is deeply gfieved, of course,
by the death of the pope, especially
since it came in the midst of this
great war. No one can doubt that the
war hurried the end, for the pope en-
deayored nobly to avert the struggle.
During his whole life, he has. been a
stalWaft advocate of world peace.
1T is Impossible to measure in words
the good the pope has done in this
country. 1t is possible only to men
ton q few specific things. BY admit
ting little children to means OF grace
upon reaching the age Of reason the
pope did great good. He also made it
possible for all to secure holy com.
mu11ion whenever they desired and
made special provisions for the sick
which have done much, good.
Important Change.
'sOne Of the most Important changes
he made was in lengthening the period
OF study for the priesthood In order to
insure the fitness of, ordained priests.
He aimed toward the preparation of
priests for any emergency. He SO re-
vised the courses Of study that priests
can meet amy social or other problem
which may confront them during their
ministry.
Throughout his life, too, he has
striven for the spread of Christian
faith. He has advised and worked for
the simplfcation of church discourses,
insisting upon catechetical explanation
of doctrine rather than sermons in the
common sense of the word He pre-
ferred that his priests should acquaint
the people with the faith rather than
indulge i'll rhetorical flights which
serve to distract attention from the
teachings to the speaker.
Pope Plus was a firm believer in
the freedom Of the press. He advised
absolute freedom, but exhorted hie
priests to use the press as a medium
for the dissemination OF Christian doc
trlne that all people mig,lt be brought
into contact with the truth. That, he
felt to be his great mission: the spread
Of the faith
"Of his work for peace the whole
world knows, and | understand that
he died with an expression of regret at
this war was upon his lips. He was
q great, good man.
Some time next week, solemn
requiem mass will be celebrated
throughout the Catholic world. it is
believed.

FOR MISUNDERSTANDING

Yesterday The Missoulian published
the report of City Clerk Harris for
the month of July. During the day
several inquiries were received asking
for explanations concerned. this re-
port and why it is that the amounts
given for the maintenance of several
departments seemed so rnreasonably
high.
Missonlian readers will remember that
a short time ago the city's system OF
bookkeeping was radically changed.
That the state examiner demanded
that a new set of books, designed by
his department to be uniform for all
cities of the state. be installed in Mis-
soula. This change was made several
weeks ago, but yesterdays report of
the city clerk was the first published
since the change took place.

Under the new system the city's de-
partments are grouped separately and
the various items in any way connect
ed with each department are listed
the clerk gave but tho totals under
each of these heads.
An Example.
AS an exmple of the method now
followed the department listed under

this head last month the total was
given as s735.23 Tho various items
making up this amount appear on the
books as follows:

Potato Houses, Powdery Scab-==
Methods of Cleaning and Dis
injecting Houses and Implements

Recently many inquiries have been
addressed to the Maine Agricultural
Experiment Station asking for infor-
nation as to the hest methods for dis
injecting potato storage houses, i'm
PIGMENTS or containers which may
have become contaminated with the
germs of powdery scab. The notion
that the disease may be spread by
means of articles which have come in
contact with affected potatoes ap-
pears to be well founded. No doubt,
il it could be traced, it would be found
that some of the powdery scab in
Maine came from the purchase of
second hand sacks previously used for
imported potatoes. Likewise it is
evident that only a relatively few bar
rels of affected tubers in a storage bin
might so infect the bin and other
parts of the house as to result in
spreading the disease in manner far
out of proportion to their number.
Assuming that only healthy, disin-
fected seed is used and planted on
clean. soil how may it-and the result
ing crop be protected from infected
barrels, sacks, planters, potato hous-
es, etc? From an experimental stand
point very little has been done as yet
to answer this question and some
phases of it have not been touched at
ALL However there is 2 available a
large amount of data regarding the
effect of certain fungicfdes and germi-
cides upon the organisms causing
common scab, blackleg, the Rhizoc-
tonia disease, etc. The conclusions
derived from this, taken in connection
with the work of Pethybridge in Ire
land on powdery scab may serve as a
tentative basis for recommendations
as to disinfection, in the absence of
any experimental results obtained in
this country.
Planters and other tools which have
in any way come in contact with the
germs of powdery scab should be
washed clean, then thoroughly washed
or sprayed with a strong solution of
formaldehyde, one pint to gallons,
and allowed to stand few days be-
fore using. Barrels or other contain
ers may be handled in the same way.
Sacks may be disinfected by soaking
. hours in formaldehyde the same

and then drying. Doubtless less ex-
pensive method for disinfecting sacks
would be steam sterilization at some
central station. Secondhand sacks
should not be purchased except under
a guaranty that they are free from the
germs of powdery scab.
Special attention should be given to
empty storage houses. All loose dirt
and rubbish, including decayed pota-
toes or other culls, should be removed
from the interior and from around the
outside of the house. AS much of this
material as possible should be burned.
What remains unburned should be
soaked with a strong solution of cop
per sulphate. After all rubbish has
been removed the interior walls and
floors of the empty potato house
should be thoroughly sprayed with
solution of copper sulphate, pounds
and water SO gallons. A hand barrel
pump with rs to so feet of hose with
an extension rod such as is used in
orchard spraying would be very salts

with copper sulphate. To accomplish
this make all outside doors and win
dows as tight as possible. For every
1000 cubic feet of contents of the house

permanganate and 3 pints of 40 per
cent. formaldehyde. Spread the per-
manganate evenly over the bottom Of
che or more large vessels like wash
tub or half of a kerosene barrel, these
latter arranged in the central parts OF
the floors of the house or rooms. Pour
the formaldehyde quickly over the
permanganate, being sure that it is
we'll mixed with the latter. Leave and
tightly close the house at once. Allow
to remain closed "a hours or longer.
Barrels and tools, If clean, can be dis
infected at the same time, although
probably not so thoroughly and eff
ficiently as by washing with formalde-
hyde solution. Do not attempt to use
the gas in the houses till after all
potatoes and rubbish have been re-
moved and the house cleaned up as
described above.
