Many English women gave their
jewels and much money to the war
fund, but there were thousands of
others who wished to give and were
unable to do so. That is, they were
until a wise woman suggested that
little trinkets, such as silver thimbles
be collected and melted down for the
silver they contained. Here is what
the silver thimbles purchased in one
year:

S Motor Hospital Boats
$1,110 for Hospital Supplies

$4,000 for Soldiers and Sailors
American women who think they
can not afford to give anything to the
various war funds might find these
facts interesting.

Fort Strong, Mass, for the past few
years as a member of the coast artil-

stated that he had some difficulty in
reference to his going because of his

to go and was finally permitted to
make the trip. We believe he is the
first from this part of the country to
go to France.

Thomas Oleson of Minot, N. D., ar
rived here Saturday to spend his va
cation with his mother, Mrs. J. Oleson

of wheat.

ing submitted to quite a lengthy OPP
Grafton which seemed to be essential

Quite a few people turned out to
the Lutheran Mission Festival Sunday
morning, but the rain soon put an end

les last week, and much more will be
gathered this week The vines are
just beginning to run nicely and as we
have sufficient rains it will only re-
quire a few warm days and nights to
make the cucumber crop just hum.
There are several splendid fields of
wheat in Wood County this year that
promise an abundant yield and it may
be the means of bringing back the
wheat growing industry that used to
be SO prominent in the early days.
For a clay country it is surprising to
see the amount of rye that is being
grown this year. Evidently the high
price of flour and feed prompted local
farmers to sow more fall grains last
fall
A deal was consummated Saturday
whereby Roy Murgatroyd purchased
the Henry Staven residence property
in Vesper.
Ernest Haumschild moved his house
hold effects and family to Fond du
Lac Friday where they will make their

WELCOMES
AUTO TOURISTS

Portland Ore.-Portland's police
force is after the auto tourist. Every
officer of the city is under instructions
to grab" every car from outside the
state of Oregon, and to extend in the
name of the people of the beautiful
Rose city a cordial welcome to our
midst.
The plan worked beautifully the day
of itsfrst trial. Patrolmen would
step into the street and hold up the
arm of the law when they saw a car
from California, Maine or Canada. The
occupants of most cars seemed scared
when stopped, but their fears soon
changed to smiles when the officer
stepped to the side of the car and said
that he was happy to welcome you to
Portland" Then followed an offer to
be of service to the travellers, to sup
ply then with any information desired,
and the tender of a neat little map
guide of the city.
The plan was evolved by the pub
licity and conventions bureau of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce, and
was the result of observing the large
number of foreign cars which are this
season visiting the famous Columbia
river highway. The columbia river
highway is paved for forty-seven miles
east of Portland, passes through a
great gorge and is said to be the finest
scenic road in America. 1t is ex-
pected that 10000 foreign cars will
visit the highway during 1917.

From Stevens Point Gazette
Emil Rossier, son of Mr. and Mrs
E. H. Rossier of Springville, who is
one of the men in the first draft for
the conscript army, filed claim for
exemption at the court house last We'd
nesday following his physical exami-
nation, on the grounds of his religious
convictions. He is a member of the
Seventh Day Adventist church, which
denomination insists that it's members
do not bear arms. Although the young
man filed claim for exemption he has
since decided that he will not file prof
for his claim, and as he successfully
passed his physical examination, will
be one of Portage county's men in
the national army.

THE EXPIATORY CHURCH
AT DONNYBROOK.

Last Sunday a week ago saw
the jubilee celebrations of the
opening OF the beautiful Church
of the Sacred Heart at Donny-
brook, near Dublin, Ireland. This
church stands on the site of the
famous Irish fair which, once a
light-hearted and simple country
function, dcgenerated, after the
"Reformation, when the land
was filched from the monks who
owned it, into an assembly of the
lowest elements of the city, in
which drunkenness and debauch-
cry prevailed. Fifty years ago
some public spirited Irish Catho-
lies had the idea of buying the
ground of the fair and erecting on
a portion OF ii an expiatory church
dedicated to the Sacred Heart, in
rcparation for the sins committed
in the same place. The idea pros
pered and the present beautiful
churclissiS the result. II was
opened with great cclat by Car
dinal Cullen, and Father Tom
Burke, OF. then beginning to
make a name, preached the first
sermon within it's walls. The
church cost nearly $4,000 and
successive rectors have added to
it's beauties or reduced the debt
upon it. SO that today it stands
complete with it's tower and pres
bytery. and there is now only a
debt of $4,000 to be cleared be-
fore it can be consecrated.

The Holy See, ever solicitous
about safeguarding the religion
of the faithful, and conscious of
the losses the Church has suffered
by reason of divided beliefs in
in too many homes, has acted up

manner which seemed to prom
Use the best results for the cause

are those who believe it would
be we'll if the prohibition against
these mixed alliances were made
absolute. Whatever may be the
experience elsewhere, it is not
uncommon here in America for
whole families to end up without
positive religious belief of any
kind. Professionalism, no less than
Catholicism, suffers when the
father of family is of one re-
ligious persuasion and the moth
er is of another.

THE PROSPECT FOR PEACE

Here is telegram that ap-
peared recently i'll the dispatches
that may have escaped the notice
of some OF those who are inclined
to doubt that the Church is suf-
ferilig in Mexico and to look upon
Carranza as patriot. Note that
the dispatch went through the
regular news agencies and was
not gotten up or circulated by
Catholics: The poor are dying
at rate OF about seventy daily at
Guanajato in Central Mexico, &C
cording to the affidavits of an
American mining man who has
just returned from there. He af-
firms that the sister teachers in
the parochial schools have been
seized by Carranza troops and
taken to Campas and the Churcl,
properties turned into bull rings
and barracks. The poor are wear
ing grasses for clothing and eat
ing roots and twigs."

THE TRUTH OF SIR ROGER
EASEMENTS RECONCILIA-
TON.

Copying from a Catholic week
ly published in London scores of
newspapers i'll the United States
stated the reconciliation of Roger
Easement took place two days
before his execution" This state
ment is at variance with informa-
ton that has recently reached
Rome. The allegation is that the
diocesan authorities OF Westmin-
ster refused to grant faculties for
the reconciliation of Roger Case
ment except on condition that he
signed declaration apologizing
for his private and public con-
duct. This document the con.
demned man tore into pieces
when he had read it..
Because of the. refusal of facul-
ties the reconciliation of Roger
Easement took place only on the
eve of his execution, viz, in arti-
culo mortis when the prison chap
lain was quite at liberty to use
the powers which every priest
has by virtue OF his ordination.
And thus the condemned man
was reconciled not in virtue of
any faculty granted but in virtue
of the faculty every priest can
exercise in the case of every peai-
tent who is in imminent danger OF
death.

"Some time ago at a little place

attended the baptizing by INNER
sion of some candidates by the
Second Advcntists. The preacher
asked a series Of questions OF the
candidates beginning thus: DO
you believe in God the Father AL
mighty, Creator of Heaven and
EARTH And so on through every
clause and word of the Apostles
Creed. After receiving aftirma-
tive answers to all the questions,
the preacher immersed the candi-
dates and the rite was concluded.
The preacher asked me after the
ceremony what thought of it. l
told him it was very nice, especial
ly the Confession of Faith. He
replied, I composed that, and our
conference adopted the form a
couple of years ago I told him
l was delighted to learn who COM
posed it, as it's authorship had
been disputed for nearly two thou

HOLES IN OUR MELTING
POT"

Under the above attractive
caption, Austin O'Mallcy, NJ. d.,
a distinguished writer and phys
ician, of Philadelphia, discusses
i'll America" some of the causes
of leakage in the church in this
country. The church," he says,
"is losing thousands of her peo-
pie here through mixed marriages.
Take up any evening paper and
you can read of the marriage of
Gladys Murphy to Mr.. Francis

been expected. Three-quarters Of
the population Of Ireland abstains
from meat every Friday for reli-
gious reasons. To make Thurs
day meatless would be to ask the
Roman Catholics OF Ireland to abb
stain two days i'll succession. In
deed, the rule would mean more
sacrifice than that, for in Lent all
Wednesdays and Fridays are now
meatless and so are two of the
Saturdays. In Ember weeks a
meatless Thursday would keep
flesh from the Catholics table
from Tuesday until Sunday. In
the week of Rogation Days he
would abstain from Sunday to
Saturday. In Advent he would
have no meat from Tuesday to
Saturday.
Thursday is one of the week
days upon which the church law
OF abstinence falls most infre-
quently. In Holy Week, and On
some vigils, Thursday is meatless
in Ireland, but in the main it is
as free as Monday. The protest
of the Irish Catholics is likely to
be that, so far as national econo-
my goes, they have a meatless
day every week; and if the gov
eminent must discipline them
with another it should be sepa-
rated from the religious day of
abstinence by at least one day
when meat may be eaten.
Wednesday, from the Irish
point of view, might be preferred,
as it is so often fast day.

AMERICAS WEALTH.

amount of $5,OO0OOO,OOO.
I'VE have given the warning
countries, to relieves their end

swer their claims OH our pity and

100000.
I'VE have gathered billions,
flowing i'll lavish streams. We
have doled out few millions.
The United States OF America
only a few generations ago was
one OF the least among the peo-
pies of earth. In the providence
of God today it stands forth as
the mightiest OF nations. the rich
est and most prosperous country
under the sun. The census fig
ures of 1912 justify the estimate
that the total wealth of our coun-
try at this time is not less than
$22O,OOOOOO,OOO."
The Comptroller urges pre-
paredness to defend our country,
our homes, our factories and our
wealth from nations jealous of
our power and covetous of our
possessions.
