which they could do for girls. Just
now they are deciding upon the vari-
Gus things which the young women
can do for the league. 1t is the in
tention to raise fund among this
group of girls which will be used as
temporary loan to girls in need.
There is already a small organization
which is known as the Young Wo-
mans Auxiliary and it is the plan
that this group shall grow and de-
velop throughout the year and be-
come an asset to the league proper.
Mrs. L. N. LaCroix, chairman of
the press committee, has put in a
busy time with the multifarious duties
of printing and promotion and
busy time is before her in the promo
ton of the various social and other
activities which have been planned
for the coming winter.
The most important development
which came as the result of the pub
licity in connection with the financial
campaign was the gift of an acre of
ground with the promise of $4,000
club house, which was the Suburban
Realty Company's donation to the
league. This property is located on
high ground a short distance and

This supplements and enlarges the

Hall and the cafeteria.
Mrs. Grace Gum is chairman of
the house committee and acts as
hostess at all affairs at the league
rooms and is chief counsellor for the
hundreds of girls who make the cafe
terra their headquarters for the noon
hour. 1t is said that Mrs. Gum has
more friends among the young Cath
olic women of Minneapolis than any
other woman in the city.
1t is the desire of the present ad-
ministration to leave only memory
of humane kindness and considera-
ton and concentrated effort for the
common good when the individual
members of the executive board make
way for the officers for the ensuing
year. The personality of the hum
blest worker in the league to be con-
served as an asset 1t being the pol
icy that no individual shall be sub
jugated in any way and that each and

AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES OF MINNESOTA
BY John Ireland D. Archbishop

lSllOI dIlCe anu ldZlleSS, 10 deprive
self and others, through ones own
remissness, of comfort and cheer of
life, of culture of mind and heart, such
as af1uence allows, is sin against
human life, a sin against the Al
mighty God.
Back in the year 1910 the French
traveller, De Tocquevi1le, enamored
with the regions drained by the Mis-
sissippi, declared that nowhere else
on the globe were such beauteous and
fertile lands fitted out by bountiful
Providence for the dwelling place of
men. De Tocqueville spoke the truth.
Let us add that whatever is said of
the Valley of the Mississippi in gen.
eral, must be said with special en-
phasis of that part now embraced
within the frontiers of the State of
Minnesota.
Minnesota speak my conviction;
l am sure l speak the conviction of
my hearers; and while, perhaps, east
of me and west, south and north,
voices will be heard in protest, the
task is easy to defend by strong argu-
ment the statement I put forth. All
conditions considered and summed up
in final conclusion, Minnesota is the
best, the fairest field open to agricul-
ture upon the continent of America.
Its soil is fertile; it's skies are benign;
rains and dews descend in opportune
season. Its chief products are those
most needed by the populations of
this and other countries, those conse-
quently that remunerate most richly
the toiler. Corn and wheat are the
valued crops in American agriculture.
Here, as in few other regions, the
one thrives side by side with the
other. The lesser cereals, rye, barley,
oats, grow to perfection. Our grasses
are the most succulent. Our climate
is the healthiest for animal life. Our
meats win the prize in the markets
of the world. The SAVIOR of our cheese
and butter is nowhere surpassed Will
objection be made to the cold of Min
nesota? I would not choose a colder
climate, for then no corn-felds would
supply swine and cattle with a fat
tening food, and man would suffer
discomfort But neither would |
choose a warmer climate. for then
plant and animal life would be weak
er, and man less vigorous and less
free from facilitating maladies. Mel

opening session of the Minnesota
Conservation and Agricultural Devel-
opment Congress, held in St. Paul in
1910. Archbishop Ireland was intro
duced by Governor Eberhart, who
explained the keen interest which the
Archbishop had taken in the agricul-
tural development of Minnesota and
stated that there was no churchman
in the state so we'll known among the
people as Archbishop Ireland. The
address made by His Grace has been
printed into literature, distributed by
the State Board of immigration, and
sent out to all sections of the coun-
try explaining to people the resources
of Minnesota, and its agricultural op-
portunities. The complete address
follows:
The First Minnesota Conservation
and Agricultural Development Con-
gress cannot be viewed otherwise than
as a most important, a most s1gn1h-
cant, event in the history of our State.
The Congress signalizes the coming
of a new era-the era of conscious
knowledge of the beauties, the re-
sources of Minnesota; the era of the
solemn resolve of it's people to put to
best profit those beauties, those re-
sources; the era, consequently, of the
rise of Minnesota into fullness of
growth, into the high stature willed
for it by nature and natures benefi
cent Creator-one of the richest and
most beautiful of States, within a
country the richest and most bount-
full that earth may own, the United
States of America.
Let us make the candid confessions:
Heretofore it's sons have not been
just to Minnesota. They have not
studied it, they have not known it,
they have not worked for it with pow
er and will adequate to it's merits.
Now, however, amends are to be
made; we make the promise, we
pledge ourselves to its fulfllment.
No act more beneficial to Mime
sofa, more worthy of the intelligent
guardianship of it's interests and well
fare. could have come from the hand
of Governor Adolph O. Eberhart than
the convocation of this Congress.
The enlightened citizenship of Mime
sofa proffers to him. for the great
act, it's tribute of praise and gratitude.
To know the beauties, the resources
of Minnesota, to nurture them fond
ly, to work for their increase, is an
obligation of the highest order-a
moral, a religious obligation due to
ourselves, to our children, to our fell
low men. Minnesota is the gift from
God to its people. Like all divine
gifts, it comes to the receiver with
charges imposed upon it by the wis
dom and the goodness of the giver:
The earth is mans that he till it."
We are not absolute masters; we are
trustees held to make the gift fructify,
to the ends in view of which it was
bestowed. There is ire from the Mas
ter upon him who leaves unused the
wealth con6ded to him; who does not
draw from it, for self and for others.

ity for the Minneapolis League of
Catholic Women and the women who
took over the direction of the leagues
endeavor did so with an ambition to
maintain for the league the splendid
ideals of the past; the reputation for
efficiency which the organization has
won, and in all humbleness to follow
the trail blazed by the splendid group
of women who pioneered the work
and made the league power in the
community. At the same time this
new group determine that they should
not set upon themselves any limit
Tor breadth and scope of effectiveness,
helpfulness, and cooperation with the
other agencies working for the COM
mon good in Minneapolis and the
Northwest
Mrs. D. Coonan, who took her place
as president of the league at the be-
ginning of the new year, is a woman
of rare vision, of breadth of mind and
an understanding of the needs of the
community and of the young in par
ticular and her administration prom
ised from the beginning to be one
of splendid progress. Within two
months she had stamped the organi-
cation with the spirit of her gracious
and general personality, and now at
the end of the fifth month she has the
loyal and enthusiastic support of
every member of the organization.
Mrs. Coonan has had the most cor
dial cooperation and support of the
group of the six vice presidents, COM
prising Mrs. L. S. Donaldson, Mrs. A.
S. Dowdell, Mrs. W. S. Daggett, Mrs.
R. P. O'Brien, Mrs. J. H. Mccarthy,
and Mrs. Torrance Connolly.
Mrs. P. P. O'Hallaran as chairman
of the philanthropic committee has
charge of the children's home, which
and affords relief to a few unmarried
care of 200 families through the cold
months, and the hospital work which
means calling on the sick in homes
as we'll as in hospitals, sending flow
ers, and in as many ways as possible
making the sick more comfortable.
One of the great marks of progress
of the league is the Settlement House
which has been erected in Northeast
Minneapolis and will be ready for oc-
cupancy and general activity on the
18th of September. To Mrs. L. q:
Barry, chairman of the educational
department, this splendid achievement
must be largely credited. Her inter-
est in the children and young people
of the Italian settlement in the sec
ton of the city aroused her to the
need of concentrating effort if these
new made Americans were to assimi-
late fully the ideals of American
citizenship. To the end that this as
similation might take place under the
best auspices possible, Mrs. Barry
has worked night and day to realize
her dream of a Settlement House.
Classes will open in sewing, cooking
with full equipment). gymnasium,
music, and any other subject for which
there is a demand, on September IS.
The idea is also to make the Settle
ment House the center Of all the so,
cial activities of the neighborhood and

dfminution Of public interest. Prices
at the outset were SO irregular as to
suggest further liquidation, but these
declines were largely etfaced in the
later dealings, when another rise in

land caused the short interest to COW

cended seven points to the new high
price OF 4S4.
There was further selling for Euro

but this made only slight impressions
upon quoted values. United States
Steel also was offered for account OF
foreign interests, selling of a substan-
ltial fraction to eighty-two and one
eighth, but recovering at the end. Con-
isolidated Gas lost over three points

concerning the tenor OF Washington'a
