President Wheelwrisht,s Statement.
In a statement to the meeting By
President Nieelwright5 e was shown
The company last year earned 50 ,007,.
900 above all expenses, including
taxes. The dividend took 81, 500, 900,
leaving over 100000 to be carried to
surplus, = n Z.
# was shown that the present deaf
does not add a cent To, the required
cash disbursement of the company for
the period during which Il runs.
Therefore twill be in the same posi-.
ton asto! dividends and otherwise dur.
ing this period, provided its business
continues of the same extent. This
the company. not only expects, but
also says that there is every indica.
ton that it may be increased. Dur.
ing this interval &c will have the use
Iof this new money for development

President WheelWright also made
the statement that for the first IS days
In January the company had Slipped
lGS5,000l tons, Us compared with Il 1000
tons for the correspo nding period last
year. The. shipments for the entire
year ended December 81. 1914, were

ST. MARY's CHURCH NOTES

Every Friday evening during Lent
special services will be held at half
past seven o'clock Father Naugh-
ton intends to give an interesting
series of sermons on 'The Teachings
of Christ and His Life" VS.. Cond;-
tions of Modern Society. He will deal
in detail with many of the questions
which affect human life along Social
ogical lines and with his past ex-
perience IN a large city parish of his
home town of Chicago. These sermons
premise to be most interesting and
instructive for everybody. All are
most cordially invited to attend,
Catholics and non-Catholics alike. The
subject of next Friday evenings SER
mon will be Gods Providence as
shown in conditions of modern So
ciety." Everyone Should make an
effort to attend these Lenten SER
vices. Every Sunday ia 10 O'Clock
High Mass Is sung and the Question
Box" system seems to be thoroughly
appreciated by all. Many questions
have been answered concerning mat
ters of religion and the Catholic
faith, showing the interest this form
of sermon topic has created.

The AlaskanS,

According to the government statis-
tics the natives of Alaska are about
$4,000 in number. and they are
spread over more than 350,OO0 of the
$4,000 square miles of territory.
The small settlements extend along
about 10000 miles of coast and on
both sides of the Yukon river and
its tributaries. for distance of more
than $500 miles. One of the super
vision districts contains full 1O0,-
900 square miles. the others average
more than $1,000 square miles each.
OF the natives of Alaska, approximate
ly 1000 belong to six tribes of In.
dians in southeastern and southern
Alaska, and in the valley of the Yu
kon. About 11.000 are Eskimos on
the western and northwestern coasts.
along the Bering sea, the Bering
straits and the Arctic ocean. Some.

LAUGHS AT "BoY PROBLEM"
No Such Thing as It Has Been Un.
derstood, Is the Conclusion
Of an Expert.

There is no such thing as the boy
problem much as folks talk about it,"
said Fred S. Goodman of New York, a
Young Mems Christian association ex-
pert, in addressing an Omaha audi
ence. THE problem is entirely in
the kind of leadership the boy gets,
and that rests, not with the boy, but
the man."
Mr.. Goodman insists on a mans in
fiuence for the boy, especially from
fourteen years of age on and the man
ought to be his father. For the boy.
he says, instinctively classifies him.
self then as a man and will respond
sensitively to a mans leadership. To
illustrate, he cites this incident:
When the steamer The Republic was
rammed by another ship some FIVE
years ago and imperiled and the trans
fer of passengers was under way with
the rule of the sea, woman and chill
dren first" in force, a father standing
near the edge of the deck bade his
+ wife, little daughter and son of four
teen good-by and stepped back. Pres
emily the boy kissed his mother and
sister and went to take his place be-
side his father Instinctively he classi-
fled himself, preferring to die with his
father as man than escape with his
mother and sister as a child.
| How typical this boy was no one
knows, but the moral is plain. The
father who succeeds in establishing
and maintaining close, confidential
companionship between himself and
his son has, as we all know, taken a
vital step toward meeting his RESPONSE
bility. From then on it is largely up
to him what his boy becomes, depend
ing on the kind of leadership the boy
! gets.

One Of Them-Caste Question A.
ways Of Profound Impor-
tance.

Hidden among the pages Of statis-
tics and maps in the 1911 general re-
port on the census of India are some
quaint stories of Indian beliefs and
superstitions. Mr.. O'Malley, who su-
perintended the census taking in Ben
gal, Bihar and Or:ssa, tells us that the
lower classes think that insanity ia
due to excess of bile in the system or
to worms in the head.
Neglect of the worship of the gods,
or the curse of Yogi Sadhu or other
holy man may produce 1t. Madness
being due to possession by an evil
spirit, every attempt is made to ap-
pease or exercise it. The exorcists
hold smoking chilies to the nostrils
of the patient and chant mantras, ad-
dressing the spirit in obscene Ian
guage, all with the idea of driving it
away. When these means prove futile
they prescribe diet calculated to
force the spirit to leave his victim in
fear of losing his caste. The unfortu'
nate patient has therefore to consume
soup made of toads, etc. When these
abominable nostrums fail the use of
medicated oils and of Indigenous
herbs and drugs is resorted to-"
The medical treatment of the insane
sometimes takes the following forms
"The mud taken from putrid tanks
is plastered on the patients head, or
aloe pulp is mixed with water and ap.
piled in the form of an emulsion. A
fayorite remedy is soup made from a
particular kind Of frog"
Again, the caste question is one
which is of particular Importance in
many of the Eastern provinces. aud II
is told how one chief communicated
the recalcitrants in one highly organ
lied caste which had been split into
two hostile camps, and so effectual
and binding was this order that not
only did the BARRIERS, washermen and
priests of the state, who had hitherto
served them, refuse to work for them
but the services could not be OBJ
tanned even of BARRIERS, washcrmen
and priests residing outside the state
This order was strictly enforced for
some time. The men of this caste
are clean-shaven and very well
groomed and dressed. but when the
dispute was eventually settled the per
sons affected by the order had long
dirt-matted beardsN the hair of Their
heads was in long strands and filthy
in the extreme. and their clothes were
beyond description for uncleanliness

THE COUNTY UNIT

A bill bearing the above title and
relating to rural schools is now be-
fore the Twentieth General Assembly.
1t has been prepared, by the school
people of this state and has the unan'
imous endorsement of the Colorado
Teachers Association, both Of which
now seem to be the chief arguments
used against it by its opponents. If
this bill Is passed as drawn, it will
give one Board charge Of all the rural
schools in each county. 1t will make
one system in each county instead OF
many systems as at the present time.
1t will make uniform tax levy for
all these schools and equalize edu-
cational opportunities for all the chill
dren in each county. All the school
supplies will be purchased by the
County Board, thereby not only eff
fecting great saving in money but
making possible uniform system of
textbooks and all school supplies and
at the same time making possible a
uniform course of study for all the
schools, with adequate supervision for
the rural schools of each county which
is not possible at the present time.
The schools of each county will still
be managed by Board of Directors
elected by the peop,e themselves.
The bill does not provide for in
creased taxation. The taxes will be
higher or lower only as the elected
representatives of the taxpayers
themselves make them so. The bill
does not increase the salaries of teach
ers, for it was not prepared to bene-
fit the teachers, but the children in
third class school districts and to
make it possible for the teachers to
give better service for the time and
, money expended.
