Comment on the Princes VISIT
The British papers that have objected
to the visit of the Prince of Wales to
the Holy Father fail to see that the
British government knew it's business
when it requested him to make that
visit, and moreover that the Italian
people, especially the Romans "Black"
and white" would most decidedly
take it to be snub to the Vatican had
not the prince gone to pay his re-
spects to the head of a power to which
England has an accredited representa-
tive. It may be news to them that
not even the most virulent anti-clerical
organ in Italy made the least COM
plant about the princes action. The
entire press of Italy saw that the
| Prince of Wales did his duty, neither
| more nor less.

Who WILL PLACE TAG
ON The MAYORS SHOVEL?

Millions of school children through
out the United States are on the tip
toe of expectation Who is going to
have the honor of tagging the mayors
shovel? That is the absorbing ques-
ton in the schools. And back of it all
is the great nationwide educational
and conservational schoOl-child cru
SADIE for saving coal.
The U. S. Fuel Administration has
weighed the educational values in it's
Tag Your Shovei Day campaign.
Through the cooperation of the SUI
perintendents of schools, it has en-
listed the tremendous force of 20,35O,-
600 school children in this drive
against coal famine.
'Tag- ur-Shovel" Day, January
80, becomes the children's draft day,
the day of their enlistment in the
world war in defense of childhood, the
day of their partnership in national
ideals and in national duties.
The government is placing a trust
in the hands of the school boys and
the school girls. 1t is relying upon
come Little Missionaries of Thrift, to
carry to their own homes the message
Save Coal and to be the consecrat-
ors of the family coal shovel to the
worldwide cause of humanity.
AS effective as a great army with
banners" will be this mid-winter
campaign of the 2O,35O,OOO American
school children, the largest organized
unit in the world, in their compelling
drive against fuel waste and coal
famine on January 80. Hear them
come.
The government authorities at
Washington have set their heart upon
dren against coal waste, not only be-
cause of the total actual saving of
fuel thus to be gained, but because of
the deep educational values that will
lie in the enlistment of the youth of
the land in a War Thrift crusade
Tag Your-ShoveP Day, January
30, is thus expected to be a unique
educational day of conservation to an
ideal-the ideal of helping to win the
world war for democracy by helping
to crush waste and famine at home.
There are 100000 shovels to be
tagged in the homes of the United
States. Bales of these MANILA tags
are being shipped to superintendent
of schools. The big movement is under
way. The day is coming. The. tags are
coming. The children are expectant.

ST. HENRY'S SCHOOL CLOSED
UNTIL WARMER WEATHER

AT meeting of the trustees of St.
Henry's Catholic church held Wednes-
day evening it was decided to close the
school until warmer weather owing to
the shortage of coal. The decision was
arrived at after the matter had been
thoroughly threshed out The school
will probably be closed until sometime
in March. There will be no further en-
tertainments in ST. Henry's hall and
the church will be heated only on
Sunday. Both the parsonage and sis
ters' house will be without steam
heat, stoves having been installed in
both buildings.
Father Schwinn in speaking of the
necessity of closing the school, stated
that the present situation is serious
and it is much better that the schools
close for the time being and resume
studies when the school work can be
carried on without heat and allow the
coal used for heating to be urned over
to the manufacturing industries in
need of the coal
