BETTER PRICES FOR PRODUCE
Bringing About Improved Methods and
Closer Attention to Scientific
Growing of Crops

Better prices for farm products are
bringing about better methods and
closer attention TO the scientific grow
ing and handling of crops and soils, ac-
cording to A. n. Brown, editor Of Fruit
Belt, who declares that the first and
fundamental step is to know soils and
to know what elements of fertility
should be supplied to aid growing
crops. If care be not taken TO keep
the soil supplied by the addition of
manures and fertilizers, the yields be-
come smaller each year. but when the
soils are managed properly the fer
tility is maintained and productive
ness Is increased.

MERCIFUL NURSE TO MANKIND
Charity Follows Heels of Calamities
and Walks in Wake of Raw
ages of War.

AS merciful nurse TO mankind,
Charity springs up In desolate places,
cheerily and heartily bestowing beauty
under most adverse conditions. Ii fol
lows at the heels of calan,Ities and Wis
itations; Ii walks In the wake OF the
ravages and atrocities of war; Ii
comes after the fall of the thunderbolt,
after the concussion of the earthquake.
Ii rides the tempest, the whirlwind,
the flood, the tornado, and in the hours
of threatening anger and dissension II
covers up the scars of the past and
thrusts prejudices and vested rights
away in the blackness OF midnight
darkness.
'Tis Charity who lays the coin In the
beggar's hand. 'Tis Charity who takes
the orphan in its arms. houses the in
digent and the aged, clothes the naked,
feeds the hungry and lifts the fallen.
We find It. as the late Urlon B. Hunt
once remarked, standing at the prison
gate. as Ii seeks those who have vio-
lated the laws of God and man, TO
counsel and aid in proper reforma-
tion; we find Ii in the bowels Of the
earth. in the forest, upon the mountain
top, in the shop and counting room,
upon the green fields, In the valleys
and upon the streets the wide world
over-wherever sorrow and misfor-
tune has placed its bllghting grasp. it
brings comfort TO the tortured soul
and spreads its rays of hope and en-
couragement"- t"-"Friendship, Charity
and Benevolence." George Leon Var

nitely .nat he could not think OF ac-
cspting the legacy. when Enthusiastically
the dying intention of Mr.. Tresham
was to leave 1t to the girl he had driven
from his love.

stormed the hard-headed lawyer. "A

the bequest."
All the same Lucius Marcy quietly
went to the city the next day and paid
an advance fee to an information bu-
reau to try and locate the long-absent
Hester Vale
Then he bought ledger and day

the expenses and receipts of the day,
and one item always: Cash for one

He paused, she was staring at him

that you wish to give your property

"As Mr.. Tresham desired on his
deathbed certainly" gravely respond
ed Marcy.
She continued to stare ut him. Then
he noted dim moisture come TO her

THE CONVERT-PRIEST IN THE CHURCH
NO RELIABLE STATISTICS RE-
GARDING NUMBER OF CONVERT
PRIESTS IN THE UNITED STATES
THEY MAKE GREAT SACRI-
FIcES FROM WORLDLY POINT
OF VIEW-THEIR CONVERSION
THE RESULT OF GRACE.

Nearly fifty years ago Father Hecker
remarked: There are two opposite
tendencies in the religious thought of
our country-one toward rationalism,
the other toward Catholicism" Time
has shown the truth of his observa-
ton, writes Rev. Fl. H. Wyman, G. S.
p, convert, in Extension Magazine. .
The history of the leading Protestant
denominations since 1865 has been
marked by most acute internal strife
over what their founders held as es-
sential beliefs for salvation, and the
very raison d'etre of their formation
as separate church organizations. AS
long as each denomination had it's
own special apologize and a common
belief in the inspiration of the Bible,
many sincere and earnest souls among
them enjoyed comparative peace, but
since doubt and dissension have dis
rupted their rules of faith the majority
of their members have drifted into
liberalism or Indifference in matters
of religion.
Now, in spite of this great move
ment away from supernaturalism,
there is a large number of sincere and
devout souls, both in and out of these
various sects, who are praying and
looking for the Interchangeable Truth
which they are certain is somewhere
to be found
Among the students in Protestant
and secular colleges and seminaries,
especially those who are preparing for
the ministry, the Bible and church
history are eagerly studied in the hope
of finding the key for the solution of
the religious problems which are vex-
ing souls in our age more than in any
other. And there is where we look
for future conyert-priests. But we
must never forget that what seems to
be clear to the instructed Catholic is
most obscure to the minds of these
people. Prejudice and false tradition
have so distorted their view of the
Church that an extraordinary grace
seems necessary for their enlighten-
lment. The majority Of conyert-priegts,

FOR HOMELESS BOYS
LOUISVILLE WOMAN BEQUEATHS
LAND FOR INDUSTRIAL
SCHOOL.

Establishment or an industrial
school for poor, homeless and neglect
ed boys is provided for in the will Of
Helen Smith of Louisville, KY, dated
May 20, 1915, and probated last week.
In the event it is found impracticable
to establish such home the executor
is requested to devote the property
to some other charitable institution
that will be the most far-reaching in
it's effect on suffering humanity.
With a view of making the indus
trial school a reality the testatrix
bequeaths a farm Of ninety-four
acres near Shepherdsville, in Jeffer-
son County, to Right Reverend Denis
O'Donaghue, Bishop of Louisville.
Should it be found impracticable to
establish either the proposed indus
trial school or some other charitable
institution the testatriX provides that
the farm shall be sold and the pro-
ceeds divided equally between the
Little Sisters of the Poor and the Sis
ters of the Good Shepherd, both of
Louisville.
1t is provided, however, that the
farm shall be rented temporarily until
it earns sufficient money to pay all of
the debts of the testatrix, after which
Bishop O'Donaghue is to use his dis
erection as to the suggestion made by
the testatrix with reference to it's
future.

CHRISTIAN BROTHERS CENTENARY

LAND, oMMEMORATED OPEN
ING OF CHRISTIAN BROTHER
SCHOOLS IN THAT CITY.

The centenary of the founding of
the Christian Brothers in Thurles,
Ireland, was impressively celebrated
recently. Archbishop Harry of Cashel,
presided at High Mass in the Cathe-
dral, and there was large attendance
of clergymen. The sermon was
preached by the Right Rev. Monsignor
Ryan, dean of Cashel, who said that
few pious laymen, who conducted
their ordinary business of trade of
mechanic or farmer, used to give their
services one hundred years ago, off
and on, as teachers of the young and
ignorant. Amongst these were two
young men named Cahill-Thomas
Baptist, of Callan, and William
Joseph, of Thurles, who with the ap'
prevail of the then Archbishop of
Cashel, the Most Rev. DR.. Bray
placed themselves under the direction
of Brother Edmund Rice, made their
novitiate and studies in Mount Sion
Waterford, and, returning to Thurles
in 1916, opened the Christian Schools
