each moving backward the two lines
formed a wide lane along which
passed the procession headed by the
Cross. Following first behind the
cross-bearer came the acolytes, then
the surpliced choir of priests at the
rear of whom walked Very Rev. J. C.
Byrne, V. g., and Rt. Rev. Mgr. Guillot.
The deacon and subdeacon vested in
alb and dalmatic walked at either side
of the Most Reverend Archbishop who
with mitre and crosier and vested in
white cope proceeded to the spot
where the high altar of the new
church will be erected
The site of the future altar was
marked by white wooden cross and
around this the sacred ministers, the
chanting clergy and the acolytes were
arranged while the Archbishop blessed
the place with prayers and the
sprinkling of holy water on the un-
finished floor. All then proceeded to
the cornerstone which was laid ac-
cording to the beautiful and impress
sive rite of the Roman Ritual. The
official record of this solemn ceremony
is embodied in the document called
the attest" which was composed for
the occasion by the Very Reverend
Doctor Moynihan. This, together with
copies of the Catholic and daily
papers of the Twin Cities, Annals of
the Society for the Propagation of
the Faith and other documents was
deposited in the copper case which
was placed within the cavity of the
The Cornerstone.
The stone itself is a huge block of
red granite. On it's front surface is
raised and highly polished letters is
the name of the edifice: Church of
the Incarnation, and beneath, the
verse: "The word was made flesh and
dwelt among us" John 1-14. On the
outer end of the stone a cross stands
in c,ds relief above the date A. D.

The National Convention of the
Knights of Columbus opened in Chi
cago last Tuesday with a Pontifical
Mass celebrated in the Holy Name
Cathedral at nine O'Clock by the
Right Reverend A. j. McGavick,
Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago, which
was attended by delegates from every
State in the Union, from Canada, and
from our insular possessions in which
the organization is established. The
sermon was preached by the Right
Reverend Mgr. Kelley, President of
the Catholic Church Extension So
ciety.
After Mass the convention was
called to order at the La Sale Hotel
by Supreme Knight James Flaherty,
in presence of the Supreme Officers,
the National Directors, and the ac-
credited delegates. Owing to the
amount of important business before
the convention it was decided to de-
vote no time to entertainment or so
cial functions.
The foremost subject of discussion
was the War Camp Fund which the
knights are raising by assessing the
members of the Order, and by appeal
ing to the Catholic public for the pur
pose of erecting, equipping and main
tanning chapels and recreation cen
ters in all army camps and for pro
viding priests, in addition to the off
cially appointed chaplains, to minister
to the spiritual wants of the Catholic
men in the army and navy. Accord
ing to the statement made by Su
preme knight Flaherty before thu
opening of the convention, the funt
of $1,000, 900 has been oyer7subscribed
He declared that the convention
would consider the advisability of in
creasing the amount in order to NEE
the demands of the situation. Re
ports from the delegates showed tha
each State had done its share in rails
ing its proportionate amount of thi
fund.
Contracts have already been close'
for the erection of buildings to serv
as chapeIs and recreation centers il

tional army, namely, at Aver, Mass.

A beautiful day,-sunny and warm
with fresh breeze tanning away the
heat-welcomed the thousands who
gathered on Pleasant avenue last Sun
day afternoon, to witness the laying
of the cornerstone of the Church of
the Incarnation. The Most Reverend
Archbishop placed the stone, blessed
the foundations of the new building
and delivered the sermon, He was
assisted by the Very Reverend Francis
j. Schaefer, ID. D., Rector of st. Paul
Seminary, who acted as deacon; and
Very Reverend Humphrey Moynihan,
S. T. D., President of ST. Thomas Col
lege, as subdeacon. The score of
priests who chanted the litany,
psalms and responses were led by
Reverend Francis X. Bajec of st.
Paul, Reverend Thomas E. Cullen and
Reverend Joseph Cieminski of Mime
apolis. Reverend Edward F. Casey
was first master of ceremonies with
Reverend Thomas Sheehy assisting.
A hundred and fifty laymen, under the
direction of Captain Baldwin, Grand
Council of the Knights of Columbus,
formed a guard of honor for the Arch
bishop.
The Procession.
The procession was formed in the
Institute of the Incarnation, the edi-
flee which has served the purposes of
both church and school since it's COM
pletion six years ago, There the
Archbishop and the priests vested
and the men of the guard of honor
assembled few minutes before three
o'clock. At the appointed hour, as the
cross-bearer emerged from the vestry,
the guard of honor rosss aa4, forming
in four companies, marched in double
column out to Pleasant avenue, south
ward across Thirty-eighth street to
the front entrance of the new founda-
tions, thence up the steps and along
the length of the building to a point
near the future sanctuary The files
of men then faced each other and

Honor Guard Girls
\ Need Ammunition

The Honor Guard girls class In
rifle practice holds target practice
twice weekly at the indoor range in
the armory. The girls have been
greatly handicapped, however by the
lack OF ammunition. The shells they
have got hold of so far are very un-
reliable, most Of them going "spiff''
and falling out OF the end of the rifle
instead of heading for the target. A
regulation weight and pattern army
rifle, calibred for .22 cartridges, is
used, and the girls need about thou
sand rounds OF ammunition, which
would cost about $3.50. Who will be
the first TO help along the cause by
buying a thousand rounds OF ammuni-
f.on for the girls? Anyone wishing to
do so should communicate with Mrs.
Hal McNair.

Helen Dugan Wins
Writing Contest

First honors in the Jackson county
writing contest go to ten-year-old
girl in the fourth grade of Long
Mountain School District 81, near
Eagle Point.
A. N. Palmer, author of the state
text, The Palmer Method has award
ed prizes to the nine students in jack
son county who made greatest prog
ress in penmanship during the past
year. The writing papers showing
the students handwriting were col
lected at four different times during
the year. These furnished basis
upon which to Judge improvement
In commenting upon the work Mr..
Palmer says: "These children have
made great progress. Most of them
wrote a little pinched hand in the
fall, while now they write with free
dom. Geneva Vaudeville, who won
third place, did not write at all, but
just drew her letters very slowly with
a heavy movement. The penmanship
of Kendall Hall Is far better than any
of that on which prizes were award
) ed, but he wrote a fairly good hand
last fall"
The prize winners, with the schools
they attended, are:
First, Helen Dugan, Long Mountain
school, Eagle Point.
Second Elva Coleman, Jacksonville
school.
Third, Geneva Vaudeville, Oal
Grove, Medford.
Fourth, Lucille Abbott, Jacksonville
school.
Fifth, Hulda Johnson, Rock Point
Gold Hill
Sixth, Glenn Mcdaniel, Applegatt
school.
Seventh, Lois Hall, Talent school
Eighth May Clarke, Talent school
Ninth, Kendall Hall, Central Point
school.
The prizes will be sent directly
from Mr.. Palmer's office in New York
to each of the above contestants.

Daley Case Is
Dismissed

On motion of Prosecuting Attorney
George Roberts in the circuit court
yesterday afternoon, w. G. Daley, the
Lake Creek pioneer, charged with
criminal assault upon Miss Anna
Dorm, was released on directed ver-
dict of acquittal.
After the complaining witness had
been placed upon the stand by the
state and was unable to state her age,
the county in which she lived or tell
a coherent story Of the crime, the
prosecuting attorney decided it was
waste of time and money to con-
tinue action further. Commendation
of this move was heard throughout
the court room, 1t being apparent that
a continuation of the case would be
folly, the general opinion being that
the charge was trumped up by enc
mics of the Lake Creek pioneer, the
girl in the case being mentally def
cient and a helpless victim in the
hands of anyone wishing to impose
upon her.
The motion for dismissal was made
when court convened for the after
noon session, and the jury was dis
charged until o'clock Monday morn.

seemed well satisfied with the ac-

break the monotony of travelling in
