FIELD HEADQUARTERS. PUNITIVE Ex-
Petition IN MEXICO, Dec. 25. Dust
smothered the great Christmas celebra-
ton to-day at the field headquarters Of
the American punitive expedition. A
terrific gale from the southwest drove
officers into their quarters and soldiers
INTO their little shelters gasping for
breath. Swirling down the chimneys OF
the adobe shacks. It sent the occupants
into the open air until the fires in the
CRATES could be extinguished. the smoke
cleared out and the shelters rendered
habitable. Tents were uattened. adobe
houses and Offices unroofed and kitchen
fires blown out.
Because OF the gale every man not on
guard duty wac allowed TO seek shelter
from the dust. Orderlies sent "a with
messages became lost III the limits Of the
camp and took an hour to walk a thou
sand yards. Travel without dust gog-
giles was impossible. Hundreds of men

Of the wind. ventured into the open to
zee their headgear swept away over the
mesa. The headquarters camp appeared
AS a great blur. Although the day was
cloudless hardly a ray OF sunlight
pierced the enveloping dust.

THE NEW AUTOMATIC.

On Sunday, Nov. 18th, the Tri-State
Telephone Co. will put into operation
throughout the Twin Cities, one of the
largest, most modern Automatic tele.
phone systems in use today.
The "Cut-oyer" in Minneapolis from
Manual to Automatic service on that
date, will mark the completion Of a
task which has covered a period OF
over two years, and which has neces-
STATED an expenditure Of over two mil
lions of dollars.
Through this Automatic system, in
ter-city calls will be handled twice as
quickly, and much more accurately
than by the old system, and the method
of calling is just as simple as dialing
a local number.
A st. Paul subscriber, calling Min
neapolis number, will dial that number
direct, just the same as for a purely
local call A special toll checker will
intrude just long enough to ask the
numbers of the calling, and the called
party, then the connection is completed
and absolutely locked against any in
lterruptions.
The Automatic Telephone is the ulti
mate achievement in telephone eff
cheney, it gives to its users a service
far superior to that which can be giver
over any other equipment.

SAINT CLARA COLLEGE, SiNSiN
AVA, WISCONSIN.

Mr.. Baas OF the Wisconsin College
of Music at Madison has SO thoroughly
established himself as a favorite at
Saint Clara that return engagements
occur often. The latest took place on
the evenings of the second and third
instant when the celebrated baritone
and dramatic reader gave an evening
to each of the arts in which he has
won success. The reading of Justin
McCarthy's YIf / Were King" proved
his dramatic ability, and a varied song
program gave testimony that however
perfect he may be as a reader, he
never forgets the exquisite art of the
singer.
DIR. James J. Welsh, of New York
City, lectured at Saint Clara College,

"The Education of the Intellect and OF
the WILL" was essentially interesting

The Saturday Evening Post, will be
put on at the Sfubert the week of Nov.
IL, commencing with the Sunday matt
nee. Every member OF the Shubert
Stock Company is required in the pres
entation of the play, which has been
one of the most brilliant successes of
recent seasons. Briefly, the story
deals with the trials and tribulations
of two "cloak-and-suit" partners, gruff
and captious on the surface, but at
heart all that is kind and generous.
They risk their all to save from
Hdssian prison d co-religionist falsely
accused of mountaineering, and, in
turn, through his good Offices they Sc
cure the services of Ruth Goldman, IA
designer described as having a bust

a form like Lillian Russell In the
end, the young exile marries the.
daughter of Potash, and Perlmutter
himself wins the hand of the beauti-
full Ruth, but this does not happen un-
til the end of three acts of real com
edy and human interest.

Garrison; The Catholics Of st. Mich
olas' parish have purchased property
and will build school and home for
the Sisters. The work on the new
school will be commenced at once.
1t will be a frame structure 24X40,
one-story, with basement and contain
ing two class rooms. Plans have been
made to complete the building by No
vember LIST, and school will open at
that time if possible. The house which
was on the property bought will be
remodeled and used for a Sisters
home for the present time.
Sherwood: November the fifth the
new church was dedicated by the
Bishop of Bismarck. This church
is a fine brick building, costing about
$4,000, and is a great credit to the
pastor, Rev. Michael Schmitt, of Mo-
hall, and to the Catholics of Sher-
wood. A large number of people, COM
ing from all neighboring parishes, and
filling every space in the new church,
assisted at the celebration. Rev. A.
Wagner, who had in pioneer days at
tended to the first Catholics in this
neighborhood, celebrated Solemn High
Mass; he was assisted by Rev. T. F.
Eagelston, who has also done mission
work in this part of the country, and
by Rev. H. Sendbuehler of Clear Prai-
RE, Iowa, the home parish of Father
Schmitt Rev. A. Mittereder acted as
master of ceremonies. The Catholics
of Sherwood begged the Bishop to
give them resident priest, They
surely deserve one. On this day nearly
the whole congregation received Holy
Communion; they are people who are
determined to build up the Church of
God, not only by contributing the ma
terial means, but by living a truly
Catholic life. 1t is to be hoped that
some more Catholic settlers will build
homes around Sherwood, so that the
congregation be soon able to have not
only a resident priest, but also par
ish school.
