 That being the case, many forced economies in the daily life of the peo- ip1e must be coming to an end.

TOWN PROMOTION NO. |.

Growth, advance in population. prosperity and civic advantages. is dream of every community. The importance of a. town is gauged by the outside world by it's figures of population. Every progressive man is anxious to see his town grow great CT, confident that at the same time it must grow better.
 Where so many towns are cornpet- dng for the same end, many of these hopes must be disappointed. If some places gain, others will remain sta ttonary or lose. If community re- mains indifferent to its own advance ment the chances are that it will re- main stationary, while it's young and enterprising men go elsewhere.
 The problem of what practical things can be done to make a town advance in population and prosperity is one vita1ly important to our own community. How shall we get our share of the splendid advance that has been accomplished by so many places, which has multiplied the solvent business, and secured many public improvements and comforts of living not otherwise to be- had2

POTATOES FOR STOCK FEED

. . 4 Washington, April 1.-The heavy production and the low price Of pota- kaas has directed attention to their

Then actual value k2or feed depends upon many factors
 but it is better to make some use of the potatoes on hand rather than let ktheNn rot.

its exercise. This idea does not en-
tail a double Church: the Church of
Christ is essentially and formally one.
Man is composed of two elements,
body and soul; but this does not make
him a dual person. They belong to
the body and soul of the Church who
are living lives of real Catholics, who
are participating in the supernatural
graces of the Church, whose union
with the spiritual life of the Church
is one of reality and not only of ap-
pearance, who are, in a word, Cath
olics in fact, and not merely in name.
Those persons belong to thesBo1y of
the Church alone and not to the Soul,
who are Catholics in name, who go
to church, who even at times receive
the Sacraments, but whose lives of
sin and hypocrisy cut them off from
participation in those spiritual graces
and supernatural helps with which
Christ endowed His Church to enable
it to lead men back to God and to
heaven. The real Catholic belongs to
the Body and Soul of the Church.

POPE REFUSES PETERS PENCE
RETURNS MONEY TO ST. PETERS
CLUB TO AID WAR VICTIMS.

On July 26, in the Consistorial
Hall, Pope Benedict performed the
ceremony of the blessing of the
"Agnus DEL" which is customary for
Popes to carry out in the first year
of their pontificate, says a Catholic
Press Association cable. Afterwards
he received in audience a large num-
Der of prominent representatives of
the Catholic association of Rome.
The president of the "Circolo San
Pietro Peters Club-presented
him with the sum of 10000 lire
$4,000 as Peters pence. The Holy
Father, however, after having ex-
pressed his thanks for the generous
gift, smilingly handed it back to the
president, with a request that the
money be devoted to the furtherance
of the excellent work that is being
done by the club in assisting the
families of soldiers, and other per-
sons who are suffering on account of
the war.

THE { MBER DAYS
FIRST WEDNESDAYS, FRIDAYS
AND SATURDAYS OF THE FOUR
SEASONS.


The ember days are the first We'd
nesday, Friday, and Saturday of each
of the four seasons of the year, set
apart as fast days by the Catholic
Church. According to the testimony
of Pope Leo, they originated in the
time of the Apostles, who were in
spired by the Holy Ghost to dedicate
each season of the year to God by a
few days of penance; or, as it were,
to pay three days interest, every
three months, on the graces received
from God.
The Church always commanded the
| faithful to fast at the beginning of
each of the four seasons of the year,
because it is at this time that she or
dams the priests and other servants
| of the Church, which even the apos-
ties did with much prayer and fasting.
Thus she desires that during the
ember days Christians should fervent-
ly ask of God by prayer, fasting, and
other good works, for worthy pastors
and servants, on whom depends the
welfare of the whole Christian flock;
she also desires that in the spring
ember days we should ask Gods bless
ing for the fertility of the earth; in
summer for the preservation of the
fruits of the field; in autumn when
the harvest is ripe, and in winter
when it is sheltered, that we should
offer to God, by fasting and prayer, a
sacrifice of,thanks, petitioning Him to
assist us, that we may not use His
gifts for our souls detriment, but re
fer all praise to Him, the fountain OF
all good, and assist our neighbor &C.
cording to our means.
