CHILDREN GRADUATE WITH HIGH
HONORS.
Commencement at St. Joseph's Acad-
envy, Marshall, Minnesota, Was a
Great Success-PeopIe From All
Over the County Were Present.

The commencement exercises of St.
Joseph's Academy, Marshall Mimi,
were held at the Barrymore theater
in that city last Tuesday afternoon
and evening, and attracted large au-
dience. The principal feature of the
program was a play entitled "The
Mystic Rose,'' which was given by the
pupils of the academy. It deals with
the persecution of the early Chris
tians and the performance evinced
thorough training and study on the
part of those who assumed the several
roles. The class of 1917 consists of
the following young ladies:
Bessie Teresa Beach, Vesta; Clara
Agnes Borte, Wanda; Marie Glare
Jackson, Redwood Falls; Aurelia Mary
Kane, Prior Lake; Clara Eleanor
Schacherer, Dawson; Nina Sophia
Schacherer, Dawson; Blanche Loretta
WEIGH, Sanborn.
Father Carlin presented the diplo-
mas and delivered an interesting and
patriotic address.
He spoke of the purpose of the
school and that the education that
they sought to give their students was
not alone mental but that it embodied
that greater education, the moral and
spiritual.
AS part of his address he referred
to the Liberty bonds and urged his
listeners to buy Liberty bonds and
do their bit for America.
It was inspiring and pleasing to hear
him say, 1--WE are all Americans; we
owe our all to America and must be
loyal to our country"
The Barrymore was we'll filled and
the audience thoroughly pleased and
enthusiastic with the exercises.
st. Joseph's Academy is to be con-
graduated upon the work it is doing
in Marshall and vicinity and the Mar
shall parish is to be congratulated on
having as their pastor so able and elo-
quent and patriotic a man as Father
Carlin. ,.::.

The congregation of st. Bridget's
have neat little church at Emerson
and Thirty eighth avenues north, but
their hospitality is renowned. The
pastor, Rev. James Donahoe, is a gen.
uine "soggarth aroon." He has in a
few years won a proud position for
himself among the clergy of the city
by reason of his enthusiasm in his
work and his broad and deepescholar-
ship. He is thorough student of all
the social problems of the day and has
contributed valuable material to the
science of philanthropy in his writ
ings. "Laborare est orare," the fine
old motto of the monasteries, seems
to have been adopted as his slogan.
His range of activities is surprisingly
wide, and every detail of his parish
work is carefully attended to. He has
acquired general popularity in the
neighborhood of the parish, and num-
bers among his friends many who do
not profess the Catholic faith. The
parish and the city are justly proud of
this excellent type of spiritual leader.

bye to the theater's patrons for the
present summer season, for "Mile-a-
Minute Kendall" will be the closing at
traction for the organization. Follow
ing the stock company, the ever sue
cessful, never equalled and most stu
pendous of all movies, "The Birth of a
Nation,' will return to the Shubert for
a limited engagement. The only diff
ference between the present engage
ment of "The Birth of Nation" and
the former engagement last year will
be the prices. Then s. scale of seats
was charged. During the next few
weeks the worlds greatest photoplay
will be produced with the same Won
derful music and mechanical effects
which made it the most talked of pic
ture ever filmed and produced, but it
will not be shown for a limited run at
popular prices.
"Mile-a-Minute Kendall as the
name suggests, has to do with speed,
but Jack Kendall is not record hold
er in auto races, nor daring aviator,
but thoughtless young man who has
burned up the bright lights of Broad
way with a reckless and extravagant
expenditure of money. Nothing could
come too fast for "Mile-a- Minute" but
then came the sudden and repentant
awakening. After a few weeks of
swift and swirling escapades along the
alleys of the metropolis, Kendall de-
cided to reform and earn his own liv-
ing. First, he decided to get married,
but the timely arrival of his father
before the ceremony, and $4,000 paid
to the girl, whose past was as lurid
and lively as that of the great money
changer, prevented. Then came the
real girl, who operated hotel news
stand, but who was wise in the ways
OF the world and men. She it was who
induced Kendall to go to work, perfect
an oil-burning engine he had conceived
and win his way back to riches and
dignity. Averell Harris will be the
spendthrift and Nan Bernard "the
girl" Other parts will be played by
Joe Helicky, Marie Gale, Oscar John
son, Alice DeLane, Kenneth Bradshaw
Ray Khan, w. H. McWade, Ernest
Fisher and Charles Richman.

VATICAN FINANCES
ARE AFFECTED
High Cost Of Living Touches Papal
Expenditures

The high cost of living in the Vati-
can has impelled the large staff en-
gagged there to petition the Pope for
general increase in wages and sal
aries. But the pontifical administra-
ton has been obliged to refuse any
increase owing to the low, state of
the Papal budget.
Belgium, formerly the largest con-
tributor of Peters Pence, has ceased
to pay anything toward the upkeep of
the Holy See. Austria, which came
next, can send only very small
amounts. America formerly was third
in the list Of contributors and even
America has not sent it's usual quota
since war began. One reason why
the offerings of American Catholics
have fallen off is that there have been
no pilgrimages from America since the
summer Of 1914. The pilgrims gener-
ally brought large sums of Peters
Pence, which they presented immedi-
ately after having been received in
audience by the Pope.
Against the decrease in papal re-
ceipts comes the increase in expendi-
ture, for Pope Benedict gives very
freely to many war charities, sending
large sums into France, Belgium and
Poland especially, for the relief of the
starving civil population, which is dis
tributed by the bishops to the various
Parishes. So the staff of the Vatican
has to go without any immediate re-
lief for the ever-increasing food prices
prevalent in Rome.
But something is being done indi-
rectly. The Vatican administration
has brought large quantities of the
most necessary foodstuffs and is now
selling them to the staff at lower rates
than those charged by the Roman
storekeepers. And with this the per-
sonnet, from the monsignor to the
Swiss Guards, must be content

An excellent opportunity for independent woodSmen to turn honest penny in this section is in the demand by the government for fifty million feet of Alaska spruce for airplane construction.

THE MAN WITH THE HOE

tion of the condition of the American farmer generation ton of the condition of the American farmer genraton ago:
 "Bowed with the weight of centuries he stands
 Leans upon his hoe and gazes on the land
 The emptiness of ages in his face,
 And on his back the burden of the world"
 When Edwin Markham penned these words it was not generally felt that he had overdawn the picture But that was twenty years ago. when almost every farmer had mortgage his place. when he sold his wheat for 6O cents and his best horse for less than S00 The writer can well recall how the farmers wont to congregate and swap troubles On such occasions the fvOrte texts for discus sion were the "GImblng Farmer and HOw to Keep the Boys on the Farm" Many reasons were offered for the existing state of affairs but rule they wide ot the mark.
 Fortunately, the old homestead no longer stands in dsrepute The passing years have digned it beyond all measure and enhanced it in the estimation of men and Wo men everywhere But aside from the sentiment that sur rounds the memory of the old fa has achieved economic significance that makes of first importance to the nation The modern farmer reaps highly from his la bOrs but along with his prosperity have increased responsibilities Circumstances have made him the bull wark of the country and while millions of armed men are locked in mortal combat the great leaders in the conflict are calling to the farmer for the relief that only he can furnish Armies travel their stomachs, and the farmers fthe country hold the destiny of nations in their hands,
 And so in opposite but larger sense than the poet pictured the farmer bears the burden of the world upon his back but the emptiness of the ages longer shows his face His responsibilities have sobered him. just as his rewards have made him more substantial He has recov cred his sefrespec and with all has consciousness of power that knows no ms His is the splendid duty off sustaining the mghtest movemnt in history, and he has willingly accepted the task Somehow or other it would seem that the man with the hoe has undergone ransg

THE RAILROAD OF DREAMS

Whoever has pictured in his mind the government railroad in Alaska winding it's way through tortous can yOns eapng chasms bridges requiring ingenuity to design and daring to erect pungng through tunnels and doubling around mountains to gain elevation will be disappointed They have been anticipating the cOnstuc tOn of railroad of dreams. Their imagination has been properly fed by newspapers and magazines improperly ad vised to the real facts concerning the first national rail road built by this country.
 It was expected that GOethals would be called from the canal zone to Washington and be assigned to the SUD- posed StupendOuS undertaking in Alaska.
 An exhaustive report of Commissioner Riggs has been filed and an elaborate account of the work being done and the work to be done in future has been published in the Engineering Record which throws new light on the sub ec and for the first time makes public the real facts which cOncusivey show that we have been in our minds building dream railroad

THOSE EXCESS" PROFITS.

If Congress has a real desire to
equalize the burdens of taxation
that are to pay for the war, that
body will be compelled to ap-
proach the question in a different
spirit from that now manifest.
If there is one truth that stands
out more plainly than any other
in this country it is that capital
and capitalists have been more
favored than any other on the
globe.
The United States has more
princely incomes than any other
nation in the world. The profits
from her industries are greater
than those of any other country.
1t is the expressed purpose to tax
these incomes and profits. AS TO
the former, they are contributing
probably their share. 1t is with
the latter that we have to deal.
To the thoughtful person it
would appear that Congress
should devise a just system Of
taxes on profts-not on excess
profits. The profits on Big Bust
ness have been enormous for
years. and there is really little
excess" upon which to levy a
tax.
Take, merely as an example, the
United States Steel Corporation.
That concern is credited with a
dividend in 1916 of $270,0Q0,000.
It is extremely doubtful if their
profits will much exceed that fig.
ure in 1917. which would enable
u. s. Steel to escape the excess
tax entirely.
Again it is asserted that the tel
ephone companies Of the country
cleared during the month Of
March last $l.00 on each telephone
in use in the entire country. But
as their earnings have been enorm-
Gus for some time. the too would
escape with very modest Tex
cess"
But any little farmer worth less
than 10000, who makes a profit
Of Sc, 600, will be compelled to pay
at least $1,000.
The injustice Of the entire
scheme can be seen at glance.
The tax burden will not be
squitably distributed so long as
we persist in dealing with Tex
,ess' profits. When we begin to
consider all profits we will begin
10 make progress toward cor
rect solution-of the axing problem.
