HAVE EXHIBITION
BOOTH AT FAIR

The Grand Forks chapter Of the
American Red Cross will have an ex-
hibition booth at the state fair this
year, if plans now being made mate
rialize as expected.

to arrange for a booth where the

the different days Of the fair. There
will be a supply of literature on hand
for distribution. and an opportunity
will be provided for membership en-
rolln1ent, and donations. but no solic-
ting about the grounds will be done.
Well informed members Of the
chapter will preside during the var
ious days to give information regard
ing the workings of the Red Cross
and samples of supplies will be on
hand for the inspection of the fair Wis
itors.
In view Of the fact that numberless
| women and a good many men OF the
state ore giving much time and at
tention to this line Of patriotic work
at the present time. his booth. and
the various demonstrations which are
to be given. will probably be the CEN
ter of more than a little interest
among the attendants at the big fair.

CARAVAN GATHERS
FOR TRIP ON DESERT
Many Candidates Would Join.
All Parts Of State viii
Be Represented

On every hand and from every part
of the state, word is coming to the
membership committee of Al Kader Is
temple of the vast number of candidates
who have applied for admission across
the hot sands.
Noble George G. Brown, who for the
last two weeks has been giving his ev-
cry spare moment to the Red Cross, has
now turned every bit of energy in the
direction of helping gather in the num-
ber Of candidates who seek the already
red crossed sand to al Kader temple.
Assistant Noble Judge Ryan has
Jared a field and journeyed many miles
and reports tracks Of caravans all
pointing toward Salem.
Noble o. A. Olson is also busily en-
gagged in fixing the "by-Cuss peds /"
Of those who seek to eat the herbs that
grow near the Oasis, while Noble Zadoc
Riggs has mixed huge barrels of lini-
ment for the aid and the "after com
fort" of those hardy warfarers who
who seek to tame the wild animals that
infest the path to Al Kader's door.
From afar comes the word Noble
Oscar Hayter is demurring' to the
number of candidates in his section of
the desert and is making so many emo,
tions' that the seekers for comfort
are being alarmed. Noble George Brown
who is in charge has issued this cheer
ing laconic message to his committee:
"Oh! Mobiles Of the Faith, word has
come to me that travellers in the desert
seek the comforts of Al Kader's tenn
pie. In the name of the prophet, bid
them welcome; bid them appear not
later than 3 p. m. (Heathen time), Sc
cure their fezzes and make their wills.
Bid them welcome, offer them of the
best in they tents, but hold out no
hope"

vention program.
Rev. Father Osb took as his subject
"The American Flag" He said that
each of its three colors represented a
virtue and that it deserved the undi-
vided loyalty of all true Catholics. TIE
urged continued devotion to the cause
of humanity and spoke patrotically
and inspiringly,
Music inspires, Too.
His sermon followed the solemn high
mass OF the morning session. In the
afternoon the president Of the socie-
ties, Joseph Jenne of Mount Angel, pre-
sided. Seated on the platform with
him were the Rt. Rev. Abbott Frowin,
the Rt. Rev. Abbott Placidus, of Mount
Angel; Rev Father Gregory, of Sacred
Heart church; Rev George Schooner
and the pastor Of st. Joseph S church,
Father Frowin.
Several delightful selections were
sung by the singers of st. Joseph IS
church and the orchestra played a
number of appropriate airs.
Abbott Plaeidus had as his subject,
Loyalty to Church and States,'' and
in his discourse advocated continued
appreciation of the advantages offered
by both. He advocated the teaching of
the precepts of the church and the de-
votion to the country and the flag.
Christianity applied to daily living and
in the treatment Of mankind urged by
the abbot.
Rights Not Infringed.
The surprises that the great war have
brought forth were mentioned in the
address of the pastor of the hostess
church, Father Frowin, who praised
the wisdom of the government in OBJ
tanning supervision Of foods and other
commodities and said that in doing so
the state had in no measure touched
upon individual rights.
''The present system is fundamentals
ly right aud guaranteed by the law of
Cod" said Father Frowin. He, too,
was patriotic in his message to his
brother Catholics.
Father Gregory's topic was "The
Question Of the Future. =" He besought
the German-speaking Catholics of this
countr yto be just and loyal to church
and country; TO be truthful, to avoid
any unkind thoughts or deeds and to
remember "that God will bless those
who do what is right" The Rt. Rev.
Abbot Frowin spoke in the same vein,
his words ringing with loyalty.
Miss Frances Schbiederjost played a
violin solo, as an interlude between ad-
dresses. The convention opened Satur-
day night with the registration of dele
gates and the meetings of yesterday
concluded the gathering. The dele
gates were entertained by prominent
local speaking Catholics. Many
of the visiting delegates are making
the Carlton hotel their headquarters
while in the city.
