LABOR SCARCITY THREATENED.
Indications of a general scarcity of
labor during the autumn and winter,
in sharp contrast to the great unem.
ployment in the corresponding period
in 1914, are shown in the statistical
and other compilations published fol
October by the Labor Gazette. On
this point, the Labor Gazette says:
Unemployment has reached prob
ably the lowest point since 1907. The
demand for labor has SO far been
easily satisfied, except in q few trades
connected with the manufacture o1
munitions and in the harvesting Of
enormous crops, but there are alread,
fears being expressed by employers
that a general labor scarcity will oc
cur. With but very few exceptions
the demand for all kinds Of labor ha,
increased, while the shutting of o.

astrous fire on Thursday Of this week
The number of fatalities is not We,

the heroine of the fire, throwing TWEEN

and leading others down the stairs
through the smoke and flames. Iden
tif1cation of the victims was practical

and partitions were of wood and
burned very rapidly. So fierce were
the flames that within five minutes
after the fire was detected, the build
ing was in flames.

Brilliant Success of
A. O. H. Bazaar

The long heralded festival and
bazaar of the Ramsey County Hiber.

ally opened Wednesday evening at
Hibernian hall under favorable aus
pices. The interest displayed and the
substantial generosity extended by
the initial night patrons gave bright
promise of success for future evenings
following the weeks of hard labor on
the part of the various committees
making preparations for the event
1t was refreshing and exhilarating to
mind and body to witness the result
of their endeavors so successfully
demonstrated. After a program OF
music, Hon. D. w. Lawler delivered
an eloquent and patriotic address, fol
lowing which Brother White enter
tanned the crowd with several Irish
melodies. The fun began when the
solicitors exercised their Blarney and
Establishments to attract potential Gus,
toners to their respective booths. For
over three hours 1t was blankets and
comforters. quilts and pillows, shawls
and rocking chairs, dolls and candy
and hundred and one other things
to attract the eye, distract the mind
and extract the coin from willing vic.
tins. with everybody laughing, friend
greeting friend and fair femininity w.
ing with sturdy masculinity in a per.
suasive and generally successful ap.
peal for patronage. The handsomely
decorated booths were arranged as
follows: Starting to the left of the
hall, juvenile booth in connection with
booths of Division 1 and 2, L. A., in

NAVAL PROGRAM APPROVED.
Honorable James A. O'Gorman, of
New York, one of the ablest Of our
national legislators, says: "The naval
program is inspiring and is sure to
have the support of the nation. The
recommendations of Secretary Daniels
evince an intelligent and patriotic
conception of the country's needs and
make ample provision for naval in.
crease which, with an adequate navy
will preserve the peace and security
of the United States.

cessities which new world conditions
have imposed upon US. If we would
escape the disaster that has fallen
upon other nations, we must at once
provide an adequate naval and mill
tary establishment"

Don't you think that you owe it to
the propagation of your faith to help
spread Catholic literature?
Look over the list of candidates
published in this issue and you will
see the names of men and women
whom the Catholic Church and the
state of Minnesota may we'll be proud
of. Catholic friends look upon them
with admiration when they see them
put their shoulder to the wheel and
with each subscription obtained turn
it around sprocket by sprocket.
Why should you refuse to take up a
work which Right Rev. Bishops and
priests are preaching about the world
over. and encouraging day after day.
namely, "The Spreading of Catholic
Literature" Surely there is a certain
dignity in this contest that you could
find in no other. Then have you
thought of the compensation offered
you for the work? Well, think! $500
in prizes to be given away, and all for
a few hours dignified work each day.
AS we have said before this contest
gives you an excellent opportunity to
make reputation of persistency for
yourself. The winning of one of our
prizes will be worth more to you in
the years to come than a letter credit
or rich relations; it will give others
faith in your ability and power to ac-
complish what you undertake. Such
reputation is like gold-it is current
the world over at par. No matter
what the envious may say, there is a
never failing demand for the man or
woman who. despite ridicule and hos.
tile criticism, pluckily pushes ahead
runtil the goal is attained that they
have been striving for. Always be
courageous, even with the example OF
failure around. If others have failed
that is no reason why you should moi
succeed. We all have our ups and
downs, but those who go at anything
attainable with a determination tc
win usually come out on top.

BE A BOOSTER.

Be q booster. You will enjoy the
contest as much as anyone of the can

for new candidates, as daily some drop

friends that you are in the race to
win. Be enthusiastic. No contestant
is limited to any particular field Of
labor. Go anywhere and everywhere.
If you are acquainted in adjoining
counties or vicinity inform your
friends who live there that you ex-
pect their support. Just bear in mind
that great many Of your friends are
just as much interested in your well
fare as you are yourself. Many are
just waiting for you to approach them.
Every contestant will meet with some
encouragement. But the one worth
while is the one that will smile when
everything goes dead wrong.

But certificates good for the number

Baltimore, Md

On the approach of the First Sun
day in Advent, the day appointed by
the Holy See for the Annual Collec-
tion in favor of the Catholic Univer-
sity of America, the Board of Trus-
tees appeals most earnestly to our
faithful people for q continuance of
the support which they have given so
generously In the past, and 1t COM
mends most earnestly the needs of the
University to the American Catholic
hierarchy and the clergy of our coun-
try.
twenty-five years ago, the Catholic
University was begun under the aus
pices of the Holy See and the Bishops
of the United States, and it has not
ceased to grow on the lines laid down
by its founders until today it fills with
admiration and hope the hearts of all
American Catholics. Great religious
works blessed by authority and true
to their original purpose are always
crowned by God with the success He
destines for them in furtherance of
His honor and glory.
Catholic lay students are entering
the University each year in everlarger
numbers. The number of ecclesiasti.
cal students also increases, both secu.
lar and religious, SO that the problem
Of accommodations remains always
acute. Two new dormitories for lay
students, like Cardinal Gibbons Hall
could easily be filled IL we had them

leges, and destined to render great
services in the future to Holy Church
and to the generous Order, coming as
they do from so many parts of the
Union.
This year the University is educat-
Ing between four and five hundred lay
students. Surely not few Of them
will become men of distinction in all
the walks of life. lawyers, physicians,
teachers. writer's, engineers. etc., and
in this way give us notable increase
of the Catholic leadership we so bad
ly need and so ardently welcome.
The celebration in April of our
Twenty-fifth Anniversary called pub
lie attention to the rapid growth and
eminent services of the Catholic Uni
versity. Our three American cardi-
nails and thirty archbishops and bish-
ops, with several hundred priests and
distinguished laymen, took part in the
proceedings. and with one accord ac-
knowledged the many benefits which
our American Catholic life owes to
the foundation of the University.
Already, through its Summer Schools
and It's Sisters College, the Univer-
sity is rendering incalculable service
to the Catholic parochial schools, and
this affects Immediately the happiness,
temporal and spiritual, of multitude
of Catholic families in most of our
dioceses. The annual donations of
our Catholic people In each parish are
thus repaid with interest, for it il
universally admitted that no greater
service could be rendered Catholic
education than to help in training per-
fectly the members of our teaching
sisterhoods.
1t is not easy to overestimate the
advantages which our holy religion
will draw from the successful estab-
lishment at the National Capital Of q
great central school like the Catholic
University. Already. many thousand
visitors frequent annually its grounds
and buildings, and return astonished
and delighted with the evidences of
solid growth and academic power. The
constant commingling of ecclesiastics
and lay students in the classes, the
