Brief Reviews and Notices

christian sciences: BY Rev, Cyril
Buotich, o. F. M.
This booklet comprises series of
lectures on Christian Science, an
Apostasy from Science and Christian
ity, by Father Buotich. The lectures
were delivered in the Church of st.
Boniface, San Francisco, Cal, during
the services of the Pious Union of st.
Anthony. These readings are very
clear and crisp and they present
Christian Science from the standpoint
Of both Science and Christianity. The
reverend author examines the various
claims of this cult and shows how un-
tenable they are. The booklet may be
recommended to all those who desire
clear, concise exposition of the
claims of Christian Science and their
refutation. A brief index would prove
very helpful to the busy reader.
Copies may be procured at 1873 Col
den Gate avenue, San Francisco, CAL,
at Is cents each.
Retraite De Jeunes Files: BY Very
Rev. J. Millot. Price francs. Pub
lished by Pierre Tequi, 81 Rue Bon
aparte, Paris, France.
The above work is an excellent SER
les of sermons and instructions for
girls and young ladies on retreat. The
exercises are the work of the Vicar
General of Versailles, in France, and
are arranged under the titles of In
structions and Conferences for Re-
treat of four days. The very Rever-
end author considers the subjects
usually handled at such retreats, but
presents them in very readable form
inasmuch as he breaks up each sub
ject into various points. Especially in
teresting are the instructions of Dis
couragement and a very strong Con-
ference on the subject of Vocation. A
most practical instruction is given un-
der the head of Apostolate, in which
the way is pointed out for practically
effecting the various forms of good un-
derstood by the phrase, lay Apostle
late. An English translation would
doubtless prove both interesting and
useful.

SEED WHEAT ASSURED
FOR ELLIS FARMERS
Drouth in Western County
Has Been Broken.

ARNETT, Okla, Sept. 2.-(Special)
The drouth which began here in June,
1916, has practically paralyzed all in
dustry in Ellis county. Early in An.
gust OF this year steps were taken look
ing to securing seed whea, for the farm
ers who could>not buy for themselves.
Before plans were perfected the rains
about the middle OF August came on,
between two and three inches all 10.
gcther, and II was then thought that The
improved conditions, especially as to
rough feed, had so relieved the strain
on the FARMS that tsnost OF them could
take care OF themselves and the matter
was temporarily dropped. The middle
OF August rains, however, did not help
matters as much as was at first thought
and the drouih up to the first OF Sep
tember'made conditions look unhopeful.
Late in August the Ellis county coun-
ell OF defense appointed a committee
OF County Agent Bunyard, X. M. Sow
crs OF the Bank of Gage, and John
Hyde, a farmer living two miles east
of Shattuck, to go to Enid to confer
with the state council OF defense. Ar
rangements were made there for the
state council TO furnish wheat for seed
to all farmers OF this county who have
suitable ground and have it properly
prepared and have not the means or
credit y get the wheat without such
aid. The wheat Is to be shipped to the
proper railroad station. freight prepaid,
and the farmer is to receive Il there
and deliver back after next harvest to
the same station in return, two bushels
for each one received
The passing upon applications and
general supervision OF the distribution
and the business connected with it is
under the control OF a committee ap-
pointed by the county council Of de-
Tense. II Is believed that most of the
farmers will be able to take care OF
themselves and will not need this aid,
but arrangements have been made to
supply all who need help and have
proper ground

that it could afford to spend $500 for

county paid the other half. Then the
business men got together and col
lectet $3.50 for road work. They also
built every bridge leading into the city
and also graded and surfaced all roads.
