Associated Charities
Work Shows Increase

A meeting of the Associated Chart
ties was held in the city hall Tuesday
evening. Treasurer Chaffee made a
financial report covering the period
from Nov. %, 1916, to March IS, 1917,
showing a balance in the treasury of
$265.1S. Mrs. Shrum gave report
covering the relief and social work and
showed g. really remarkable amount
accomplished, both in betterment Of
existing conditions and preventive and
remedial work.
At one time the Charities was help
ing, to a greater or less extent, 25 fam
lilies, and there were many individual
calls aside from these. Help consisted
in the giving of fuel, food, clothing,
medical attention and care. In some
cases investigation showed that the
persons needing help rightfully belong
ed elsewhere and transportation was
provided.
Thanksgiving seven baskets were
prepared and sent and at Christmas,
! through the generosity of the Elks,
| who assumed the financial part Of the
work 10 boxes were distributed.
The Associated Charities worked in
closer connection with the city officials
| than ever before and this cooperation
was found to be most helpful. The
city helped financially in cases which
belonged to the municipality rather
than to the association, and the asso
citation was able to investigate cases
and report conditions to thes city.
Many gifts came to the association
in supplies and in money. Counting the

Memorial Day Crowd
Heard Great Address

Memorial Day always brings out
tribute of respect to the departed ones
who served their country in her time
of need, and this year found the pub.
lie unusually stirred with patriotism.
At the opening of the services We'd
nesday afternoon the capacity of the
Armory was not great enough to &C.
Commodate the hundreds who were
gathered there, and many were un-
able to get inside. Those fortunate
enough to get in enjoyed a fine pro-
gram and heard a splendid address
which called forth much applause and
fired the enthusiasm of all who were
present The Municipal band and the
high school glee club, two organiza-
tons of which Valley City is justly
proud, rendered a number of patriotic
selections very pleasingly. Lincoln's
Gettysburg address, as given by Gil
man Mudgett, is worthy of especial
mention, as it was delivered in clear
; and distinct tones and every word
could be easily heard in all parts of
the house.
The main address of the afternoon
| was given by DR.. House, of Boston,
| md was a splendid patriotic discourse.
The speaker cited the causes that
called our nation into previous wars
md showed why we are again com.
PEELED to enter into the present con-
; flict He showed, in forceful Ian.
guage, why every citizen of our ma
, ton, whether American born or not,
should be willing to fight, not only for
the preservation OF our own country,
but for the democracy of the world.
In plain language he told why we
should ally ourselves with England
and the other powers to subdue Ger
many, and paid a glowing tribute to
the men who have been at the head
of the nation in the crisis of other
times of peril-to Washington, Lin,
coin and Roosevelt-with thankful
praise for the wisdom with which
President Wilson is handling the pres
ent situation.
DR.. House told of the good work in
rousing patriotism in the Civil war
done by the Sixth Massa chusetts, Of
which our tOwnsman, Commander
Henry Beal, was member. His words
of commentator for this battle-scar-
red veteran, who had charge of the
services of the day, called for pro
longed applause from those present
who knew and appreciated his loyalty
and service.
Urging everyone to stand by our
president in this struggle, the speaker
closed stirring address that left a
deep impression on all his hearers
Another song by the glee club and the
'Star Spangled Banner" by the band
closed this part of the program.
The band then headed the process
sion composed of our own Company e
and some of Company H, company Of
Boy Scouts followed by the few re-
naming G. A. R. and a long line of
automobiles, which proceeded to the
cemetery where the usual ceremony
took place over the graves of the SOL

marched to the Normal foot bridge
where the beautiful custom of scatter
ing flowers on the water, in honor Of
the soldiers who died at sea, was OBJ
served while volley of shots was
fred above the water.

CORN

There was probably more hungry
ziock in North Dakota this spring than
Tor a good many years, even though
ahe year 1916 was one Of the best feed
years that Dakota has seen for some
time. The shortage Of feed of course
xas due to the long and very severe
winter. There was a very definite
boss in the way of production in the
produce from the dairy herd and even
4 loss of young animals in parts Of
the country.
While no one can rrophesy what
kind OF season we may expect this
gear, Indications are that the season
sill be drier than in 1916 This OF
course will mean that pastures and
meadows will produce much less feed
shan last year. In order that a
feed shortage may be avoided it is
very important that every farmer
plant good acreage Of corn. Some
fields are to be summer-fallowed this
year. This ought never to happen on
a farm where a good acreage of corn
is not being planted. Ground that has
grown a crop Of corn is in better filth
for the production of wheat and other
stUaII grains than is one that is sum
nlev. fallowed by the ordinary methods
used in this section of the state, and
besides, it can grow a splendid crop
Of feed There is no crop that will pro
duce feed during a year Of drought
like earn. For these reasons there
should be good acreage of corn or
every farm in the county where live
stock is kept

THE CATHOLIC HABIT OF
- PRAYER.

Nothing bespeaks the practical Cath
Ollie so much as the salutary habit OF
prayer. In temptation, in each sur
prise of. danger, in fear, anguish, or
grief. the well-trained soul, like a con-
fiding child running to the projecting
arms of its mother, turns instinctiyely
to God, and in so doing but follows the
maxim of our Lord to Pray always"
Prayer for-the Catholic is the armor
of the soul which from constant use
is kept clean and bright; it is the ever
present shield against which the fiery
darts of enemies strike, but are power
less to harm. 1t is as natural for the
good Catholic to pray as to- breathe,
and prayer will always spring sponta-
neously to his heart and lips with even
the first intimation Of danger. If he
be victorious over temptation; If he
be successful in overcoming an incli-
nation to evil; if he is to accomplish
any good whatsoever it is traceable

CHRISTIAN NAMES.

There is a growing tendency to get
away from the old-fashioned names
and substitute some meaningless word
for a name at baptisms. The Church
has always taught that the names Of
the Saints should be given to the
newly baptized, that they may have
a patron and guardian through life.
The New World remarks:
eve might also ask the whereabouts
of the old-fashioned Catholic fathers
and mothers who did not content
themselves with giving their children
but were proud to call them by the
same in after years. Where are the
Dominics, the Franchises and the BOni-
faces; the Agneses, the Margarets,
the Bridgets, and host Of others
known and loved in the past? Some
of them, it is true, remain-mostly in
families whose hardy faith has not
been touched by the blighting breath
of social eXpediency. But far too
often the fine old names have van
ished like last summers foliage. In
their place we have Percys and Floyds
and Myrtles and Daisies and other
meaningless designations too numer-
GUS to mention.
$50 let us leave the old-fashioned
songs to poets and musical critics and
concern ourselves with resuscitating
the old-fashioned Catholic parents,
who named their boys and girls for
saints of the Church.
The abuse to which our contempt
rary refers is undoubtedly becoming
more general throughout the country.
The present generation may well copy
the simplicity and faith Of the genera
tons that are past. In the day gone
by Catholic parents were staunch de-
tenders of religion and were glad for
truths sake to suffer the sings and
taunts of bigotry and modern thought
There are too many apologizing for
their faith to an un-Christian world
today. Why not be Catholic both in
name and deed!

CATHOLIC INSTINCT.

How often we hear the praise, 'It
is the Catholic instinct" or He has
the Catholic instinct" at was her
Catholic instinct" etc. Now what is
Catholic instinct? at is not easier to
define what Catholic instinct is than
to define what an instinct is" says
Maurice Francis Egan, writing in the
Almanac of the Sacred Heart for
1876 He gives this definition:
1T is the aroma from the gift of
faith which neutralizes the odors of
evil 1t is perfume of Rome, not an
odor of Paris. 1t is that sensitiyeness
which makes even the unlearned de-
test false doctrine, without knowing
exactly why 1t keeps us safe; it
makes us trustworthy; it prevents in
temperance in the assertion of the
truth; it makes us obedient without
the necessity of our explaining to our
selves why we should be so. On the
heart full of Catholic instinct the
truths of religion fall like the gentle
rain from heaven 1t saves us from
mistakes of overzeal or underzeal. 1t
is grace cultivated and conserved. We
know it's effects, and our great pub
licists have owed more to this instinct
than to their scholarship" =.
The creation of this instinct is one
of the chief effects of religious educa-
ton. Even the little non-essential but
beautiful customs of faith should be
encouraged from infancy How are
we to insure the inheritance of faith
to our children if we do not train them
from the beginning?" asks DIR. Egan.
The public schools may teach what
the textbook calls facts, "but they ig-
more the greatest fact of all" DR..
Egan believes that the ''basest result
of modern teaching is to make us
minimize the weight of parental re-
sponsibility," and he reminds the Cath
Ollie parent that mo power can absolve
him from the duty of keeping his
child's heart pure for its Creator
