FEAST OF THE ASSUMPTION.

August 18th is the feast of the AS
sumption, the principal feast of the
Blessed Virgin. The feast is two-fold
in its significance, marking the depart
ure of the Mother of God from this
life land her assumption into heaven.
Catholics throughout the world cele-
brate the feast day with great rever-
ence. The feast has been celebrated
from the early times and with special
devotion since the announcement of
the church regarding the doctrine of
the Immaculate Conception. Cardinal
Newman, in speaking of the signifi-
canoe of the feast of the Assumption
in his meditation, brings to our atten-
tion in a solemn manner the religious
significance Of the feast as we'll as
the. spiritual attributes of the Mother
of God.
AS soon as we apprehend by faith
the great fundamental truth that Mary
is the Mother of God, says the Car
dinal, other wonderful truths follow
in its train, and one of these is that
she was exempt from the ordinary lot
of mortals, which is not only to die,
but to become earth to earth, ashes
to ashes, dust to dust. Die she must,
and die she did, as her Divine Son
died, for he was man; but various
reasons have approved themselves to
holy writer's why, although her body
was for a while separated from her
soul and consigned to the tomb, yet
it did not remain there, but was speed
lily united to her soul again, and raised
by our Lord to a new and eternal life
of heavenly glory.
by her assumption is meant that
not only her soul but her body also.
was taken up to heaven upon her
death, so that there was no long DE-
riod of her sleeping in the grave, as
IN the case of others, even great
saints, who wait for the last day for
the resurrection of their bodies.
"One reason for believing in our
Lady's Assumption is that her Divine
Son loved her too much to let her
body remain in the grave. Other ser.
wants of God have been raised from
the grave by the power of God and
1t Is not to be supposed that our Lord
would have granted any such privilege
to anyone else without also granting
it to His own Mother.
"A second reason is this, that she
was not only dear to the Lord as a
mother Is dear to her son, but also
that she was SO transcendantly holy.
so full. so overlooking with grace"
A special Importance is attached to
the observance of the feast day among
members of the Pro-Cathedral parish
in Minneapolis, because on next Sun
day, the Pro-Cathedral will be solemn
ly dedicated in the name of its patron
saint, the Pro-Cathedral of st. Mary.

op of Tuam, celebrated the half-past
eight o'clock mass in the Westport
Church. His Grace, addressing the
congregation after the First Gospel,
said he was very glad to have the op.
portunity again of joining in this his

tain. He wished specially to refer to
one aspect of the pilgrimage on this
occasion. They were all aware that
our Holy Father, the Pope, desired
that all the children of the church
should take occasion to join in an
united act of atonement and supplica-
ton to avert Gods wrath, justly pro-
voked by the sins of the world at the
present time. He need not refer in
particular to what these were, for 1t
could be truly said that the world was
full of crime and full of woe, and that

salu IL was natural that such thoughts
should be in their minds that day, a
day on which the Archbishop asked
they should humbly and earnestly pray
God for peace and good will amongst
all peoples, that an end might be put
to this destructive war, and especially
that God should save the people of
this country from the horrors of war
that had overtaken other parts of Eu-

MESA NEWS NOTES
WILL DISCUSS SALE
 OF COTTON GIN TO DAY
important Meeting of Growers to Be Held in Town Hall at 2 O'Clock
 This Afternoon

A meeting of vital importance tc the future of the cotton industry in the Salt River valley is that called town hall, at which time the pro posal to sell the cotton gin will be discussed. It has been some what generally known for some time that there is a disposition on the part of q number of the growers to dispose of their stock in the gin on account of the low prices prevailing for cot
 ton last season. However, at d re- cent meeting when some of the growers expressed a desire to Gis- pose of their entire interests in the gin and to disband as an organiza- tiOn of cotton growers, the real sig nificance of their standing in the matter became somewhat alarming. The meeting this afternoon has been called for the very purpose of de- tcrmining just what the growers de- sire to do and it is desired that 3 full expression be had and that the matter be settled at this time.
 There are a number of things of considerable import that should be taken into consideration. In tHe event that the stock in the gin is for sale the indications are that n controlling interest will go to d com petitor In instances where compe- titlon buys controlling interest in a going concern it does not 1uguf well for the concern being purcna sed If it were clearly demonstrated t,,at the cotton growers of Mesa were cut of the business for good there would be an excuse for the-saie ot the local gin. but the history of the Mesa section is that next season will see probably as many acres planted to long staple cotton as last season This same experience has been had by the cantaloupe- growers and it is fairly safe bet that the cotton growers will make history repeat it. self. In the event that cotton goes to D cents this season which is ai- together possible it will mean a rusi back into the business next year These are words that will be de.

 AT YAQUl CAMP
Indian Dance at Village Near Tempe Will Start This Morning. Thousands of Visitors on Hand To- night

That the big Easter dance Of tse Yauui Indians at their camp sOuti;- west of Tempe will start this murn- ing seems practically assured. Ac- cording to one of the chiefs of the village the festivities should co:n- mcncc about or 10 o'clock and will last for exactly twenty -four hours There was plenty of excitement at the camp yesterday, and between the religious ceremonies that were oo- served and the general good ,ime participated in, Guadalupe was full of holiday life from sunrise until late last night
 Tempe people attending tonight will probably find the best road if they go mile south from the cor ncr of Eighth street and Mill avenue and turn a mile west and then go di- rectly south. distance of two mics and half. to the camp. There is good road all the way that can be negotiated comfortably by any means of travel. People from Mesa and Phoenix would probably find the best road to first come 10 Tempe and then follow the route outlined.
 To catch the camp at the height uf it's festivities one would probably do better to attend this evening. Pr1c- tically all of the rigs in the local livery stables and all of the auto stages have been chartered by now and one of the largest crowds that ever has attended a dance of the Yaqui Indians, either at it's Guala = lupc camp or the old camp south of kyrene. is expected this evening.
 Thursday and yesterday were both live days at the camp preliminary C. the big dance today. There we~e various ceremonies carried out in tho forenoon and for a short while in the evening. The remainder of the time was devoted to fun and frolic.
