THE NEWSPAPER IN THE HOME

There are homes in which there is
no newspaper.
There are homes in which there
is no-account newspaper.
There are homes in which there
is bad newspaper.
And there are homes in which
there is a good newspaper.
And you can soon tell the differ
ence in the children Of those homes.
Where there Is no newspaper, or
only a no-account newspaper, the
whole family seems asleep. They
do not know what is going on in
the world They only hear what
their neighbors tell them. The
children learn a little at school and
then forget il. Other homes are
frightened by news, new inventions,
higher pleasures, but the home
without a newspaper is asleep.
The home with a bad newspaper
is stirred up in the wrong way. The
children read OF vice and crime. The
mother is set agog for town flnery
and discouraged in her home duties.
The father is filled with prejudices
and false notions. The home is
poisoned.
The home with a good newspaper
has a schoolhouse and a church
house and an entertainment hall by
its own fireside every week.

Western Union Newspaper News Service.
Washington. ID. C.--Secretary Baker
made formal announcement that the
troop movements OF Ohio and Ken.
lucky soldiers had nothing whatever
TO do with the Mexican situation as
such, and was solely TO relieve thou
sands OF troops now held in mobiliza-
ton camps only because they lack a
few recruits to bring units up TO fixed
minimum strength. The order sends
the troops from Kentucky and Ohio TO
the border as soon as they are equip
ped and transportation can be ar
ranged for them, and will move all the
others as soon as they are properly
equipped. with the exception OF the
Vermont troops, which will start Just
as soon as transportation is possible
War Department officials decided on
their action because the troops are
FESTIVE in camp and there seemed TO
be no stimulus to recruiting while
there was no prospect OF movement to
the border. They now expect most
OF the regiments will be flled before
the troops leave.
The Kentucky, Ohio and Vermont
troops. which will move practically at
once, will add the following units to
the long border line.
Kentucky-one brigade OF three
regiments OF infantry, one company
signal corps, one field hospital and
one ambulance company, modified at
II. Thomas.
Cavalry Also Ordered South.
Ohio-Two brigades OF three regi-
ments OF infantry each. one squadron
cavalry. one battalion field artillery.
one battalion engineers. one battalion
signal corps. three field hospitals. two
ambulance companies. all modified at

SERMON ON NEGROES.
SInteresting Talk Given at St. Mary's Church Yesterday

s The Catholic board for mission work @among the colored people was organ aiZed by the archbishOps of the United Estates in 1907. They appointed Rt. @Rev. Mgr. John E. Burke of New Y ork director general, to extend and support the missions throughout the south. The energies of the board have been directed largely toward the schools. At the present time there are 127 parishs among the colored people of the south and the number is being increased by about seven new ones every year.
 Owing to many causes there are
 only about one third of the colored
 children of school age in school at all
 and most of these for not more than four or five months each year. It is the aim of the board to increase the Catholic school facilities for such chil-
 dren as would otherwise not obtain
 any education.
 Mother Catherine Drexel one of the Philadelphia bankers family, has been the largest Catholic contributor to the negro development. She alone has given to this work over $100,000 every
 year for thirty-three years. She found ed an order of nuns who devote their lives to the education of negroes and Indians alone.
 There are now probably 250,000 Catholic negroes and the number IS
 increasing quite rapidly.
 Rev Father Bustin, one of Mgr.
 Burkes assistants, spoke at all the
 masses in St. Mary's church and was generously rewarded, receiving $23S Fathers Gibson and Edwards, the ether assistants in this work, were en- gaged in other churches yesterday. The board publishes a monthly pa
