GAINESVILLE on St. Patrick's Day

On Friday morning, March 18th,
Rev. Father Fox, pastor of the Catho-
lie Church at GAINESVILLE passed to his
eternal reward after an Hines of a
years duration during which time he

act of Providence that he should pass
away on day that meant so much in

According to the editor OF the James.
vile Argus, Father Fox was born in
Tyrrel's Pass, Oldcastle County, West
Meath, Ireland, on March 11th, 1858
SO that he celebrated his 58th birth
day last week. Entering All Hallows
Foreign Missionary College in Dublin
when but twelve years of age, he com.
pleted distinguished ecclesiastical
course of studies before attaining the
canonical age for ordination to the
priesthood. In the interval, he came
to st. Paul where he became intim-
ately associated with Father McGold-
rick, afterward Bishop of Duluth, and
Father Cotter who was made first
Bishop of the neWly-fOrmed diocese
of Winona. For short time he as
sumed PROFESSIONAL duties in St. Fran
cis' Seminary, Milwaukee.
On September Goth, 1880, he was
ordained priest by Bishop Grace in
the Cathedral of St. Paul. Having
labored as pastor in several parishes
in the diocese of st. Paul and of Wi.
mona, amongst which were West Al
bany, Mapleton and New Richland
he was appointed by Bishop Cotter to
GAINESVILLE, in September 1916, which
was destined to be his last charge.
In the course of his ministry Father
Fox used his great talents to the best
advantage. Gifted with remarkable
literary tastes and possessing a rich
strong musical voice, he distinguished
himself as preacher and lecturer
and singer. He was strong type
of Irish priest, and all who counted
him their friend experienced his warm.
hearted Irish generosity and cordi
ality. His dying request was that his
remains might be laid as close as pos.

pioneer apostolic missionary of this
district, in st. AIMS Cemetery.
The funeral was conducted at ten
O'Clock on Tuesday, March 81 and was
marked by the largest congregation
that has hitherto ever assembled in
GAINESVILLE. Long before the hour the

EARLY VARIETY PUSHES
CORN BELT NORTHWARD

Wisconsin corn breeders have de-
Veloped new variety with which to
push the corn belt northward"
According to reports from E. ]. Del
Wiche, in charge of northern branch
stations Of the College of Agriculture,
the new early dent varieties, known
as Wisconsin No. %, is showing I'D
favorably this season under varied
conditions of soil and climate. It
is about ten days earlier in maturing
than Wisconsin No. s, which has here
tofOre been the most promising varie-
ty for the regions Of the state having
short growing seasons.
AT the Spooner station the Wiscon-
sin No. 25 is yielding more than Is
bushels Of shelled corn an acre."
states Mr.. Delwiche "The corn was
tit for seed on Sept. 10, and ripe ears
could have been selected Sept. 1.
The variety also did well at Conrath
on heavy silt loan soil. Reports
from cooperating farmers throughout
the north, who grew this variety on
test this year are nearly all favorable.
AS several hundred acres of Wiscon-
sin No. rs were planted during the
past season, considerable amount
OF good seed will probably be available.
Mr.. Delwiche says that this variety
will do for either crib or silo. 1t
grows from seven to nine feet high,
is leafy, and not coarse in stalk. The
ears are medium size, and of a deep,
golden color The kernels are deep,
well denied, and much harder than
most dent varieties, although not
f1inty in character. Twelve to sixteen
rows to the ear is the rule. The pro-
portion OF corn to cob averages about
IS per cent, which is unusually high
for northern grown variety.

HOW ONE COMMUNITY
HAD NEW LEASE OF LIFE.

An authority on country life sup
plies this bit of community building
history which will be of interest to
Wisconsin neighborhoods.
II have in mind a congregation that
two decades ago had preaching once
month, and paid the preacher $1O0
a year. 1t is a real country church
and at that time was typical. 1t was
bleak and barren old building, and
the brethren heard a sermon an hour
long once every month and that was
all.
But a change came over the spirit
of their dreams. Some man arose in
conference and moved that the pastor
be paid $3.50 and the services doubled.
It worked we'll. The blessed contag-
ion spread. The Sunday school re-
vived. There was warmth and glow
about the service they had not known
before. They tore down the old build
ing and built larger one.
"They finally decided that they had
lost so much of the joy Of Christian
service that they would in some meas
ure atone for it, and so they called
a preacher at $1,000 year and a good
home. Land advanced in value. The
farmers found a new joy in farming.
The young people went to college. The
neighborhood was transformed. They
are now engaged in building a $12,-
600 house which will be to them what
the holy city was to the Hebrew
''This is not a rich church. 1t is
