West Central Students and Faculty
Answer the Call to the Cnlors

The war is finding students and
faculty responding to the call to the
cOlors from all over western Mime
sofa. Mr.. Woodman, who for the
last five years has been in charge of
the agricultural engineering, is now
at the Second Officers Training Camp
at Fort Smelling and will undoubted-
ly get a very good commission. He
has had military training and is a
graduate civil engineer, which make
his qualifications for an officer very
good.
Christ Jensen who has the past
year has been farm foreman left the
22nd Of this month for Camp Dodge
in charge of the Delegation from Ste
vens county.
R. A. Skabo who was in the office
last year is also at Camp Dodge. Miss
Hulett is member of the University
Base Hospital but will be back this
fall until the hospital unit is ordered
out. Ole Madsen, one of last years
Juniors, is now in Texas in one Of the
aviation camps. The last letter re-
cetved from him indicates that he
will get pilots license. Harry John
son, a 1913 graduate, is in an avia-
ton camp in California. George
Eystad is a member of the First Min
nesota and is now doing police serv-
ice in Minneapolis.
Many other students and gradu-
ates are now in the service of which
we do not have a record at this time.
The entire student body of the West
Central School of Agriculture is eth
er serving their country in the army
or aiding in the production of max
1mum supply of food stuffs at home
upon the farm. From the farms that
we have visited, we know that every
where West Central School of Agri-
culture students are rendering real
service.

Did you ever pin freshly washed
clothes on a line out In the sunshine

with your own hands2
You haven't? Well, you needn't say
it with such a scornful tilt to your
nose. You're to be pitied more than
env1ed, for you've missed one Of the

couldn't be called pure Joy, but hang

proudly the whole long rowan, then
you taste the glory of real achievement,
and it gives a satisfaction that few
achievements give.
It's such a worthy work, making the
world a cleaner. more wholesome

Bio Chains Are Handmade.

In this day of machine manufacture
1t will perhaps surprise some to learn
that the making of big chains is large
~, If not entirely, confined to methods
dependent on hand labor, says the Sci
entifc American. There are probably
no big chains being made In the Unit
ed States by the use Of machinery.
There are various appliances employ
ed, but these are hand operated or per-
sonally controlled. This situation ap-
pears to be due to two things. First, as
the proverbial expression has it, "a
chain Is no stronger than the weakest
Of its links" A handmade chain is
naturally made link by link. If the
workmen are not only careful, but con-
scientiOus az to details, there IL a
considerable opportunity for attention
equivalent to continuous inspection.
The mailing Of big chains Is largely an
old dime blacksmiths Job.

Do We Need Drainage z

One cannot travel very far in
western Minnesota without seeing
thousands of acres of partially pro-
ductive and non-productive lands,
acres which lack only drainage to
make them the most fertile of any

lord continue to pay interest and
taxes on these useless acres? Surely
he does not realize the BENEFITS to be

creased danger from this disease, not
only to soldiers, but to the civilian
population"
DR.. H. w. Cook, chairman of the

900 cases have developed among the

FATHER DESlERE's
GOLDEN JUBILEE
Belgian Born Priest Has Enjoyed Nota-
BILE Career in the Northwest.
Title of Monsignor Conferred Upon
Him for His Zeal and Activity In
Church Work-WeII Known and
Loved Throughout Montana.

On Saturday, Dec. Is, the Catholics
of Butte paid homage to it's pioneer
priest, Monsignor Peter De Siere, on
the golden anniversary of his ordina-
tion to the priesthood.
Monsignor Siere was born more
than seventy-five years ago in Belgium.
He received his education and training
for the priesthood in his native land,
and on December IS, 1867, he was
ordained by Bishop Faict. For twelve
years he served as professor at Dix
nude college and then was appointed
pastor of church at ROulers and
later at Westende. Here he built the
first school to be conducted by Cath
olic Sisters in the parish of Westende.
1t still stands, monument to the
early efforts of the young priest.
When still young Father De Siere
heard the call from the mission and
came to Montana in 1887. His first
station was at Deer Lodge, where he
labored for sixteen months as assist
ant to Father De Ryckere. He then
went to Butte to assist Father Van de
Van at St. Patrick's church. After
three months there he went to Ana
conda, where he built church and a
parish school.
Returning to Butte in 1893, Father
De Siere became pastor of st. Patrick 8
and since then has been an active fac
tor in the community life of the great
camp. Under his jurisdiction one of
the largest and most successful con-
gregations of the west has been built
up. Sisters hospitals, schools, high
school, Sisters homes and various in
stitutions have been built
Not only in Butte will his friends
join in the special services planned in
honor of his golden jubilee, but
throughout the state, where he is
known and loved and where he labored
in the early days, the people will re-
member and rejoice with him on his
happy day. 1t is the privilege of the
editor of the Irish Standard to know
Father De Siere personally, and he
therefore joins heartily in the felicita-
tions extended to this splendid priest,
whose life ornaments not only the
Catholic church, but the whole human
race.
