ANOTHER ]. s. Cardinal
MAY Be CHOSEN IN ROME
Arrangements Being Made at Vati-
can to Hold Consistory
Soon.

ROME. via Paris, April 17.-Arrange-
ments are being made at the Vatican
for holding a consistory, which may
occur in the month of May or later.
The announced reason for the holding
OF the consistory is to secure the ap-
pointnent of a new chancellor of the
Catholic Church, which post has been
vacant since the death of Cardinal An
thony Agliardi March 10. This post
can only be filled by appointment in a
consistory.
In reality, however. the Pope wishes
to take the opportunity. it is said.
again to address the world with a SOL
emn allocution further to explain the
attitude Of neutrality of the holy see
In its efforts to re-establish peace with
out any preference for the faithful
among the belligerents on one side or
the other.
1t is considered probable that no new
cardinals will be created, owing to the
difficulty Of avoiding misrepresenta-
tons. even if they were chosen from
the clergy Of neutral European coun-
tries If cardinals are created they
might be South American. Australia
or even a fourth American. In the
latter case the opinion is expressed in
some quarters here that Archbishop
Ireland will be chosen.

The Importance of the south as a pos

greatest possible value. and department
officials are of the opinion that it will
place the cost of beef where it was

that southern farmers have become
painfully aware of the fact that one
crop section is menace helps the plan
to make southern farms meat raisers

ducers.

LOWER COST Of LIVING
PLANNED BY OFFICIALS
Department of Agriculture Heads
Suggest Creation of National
Marketing Commission.

Two plans for reducing the cost of
living by wider distribution of sci
entff1c principles to the food and mar
ket questions are being considered by
Department Of Agriculture officials
and also by men outside of the de-
partment interested in the broader
phases of the subject. Briefly, the
ideas comprise the greater distribution
of cattle on the farms of the south
and the creation of national mar
keting commission. The two plans
have nothing to do with each other,
but happen to be discussed together.
According to Assistant Secretary
Vrooman of the Department of Agri-
culture, the department is considering
plan to place food animals on every
farm in the south as soon as the cattle
tick has been eradicated. The tick is
southern pest exclusively. and I'M
less eradicated would prevent the
southern farmer from becoming a cat
tie raised. One-third of the pest has
been wiped out. and there seems to
be no reason why the remaining two
thirds cannot be wiped from the face
of the earth.
