mittee in Europe.
RadicaIism Current.
There is a powerful undercurrent of
radicalism among the working classes
in America at the present time. Cath
olics should be alive to the dangers
of this movement, but they should re-
member that it can be more effective
ly counteracted by sound legislation
than by destructive criticism
During the next few years many
legislative problems will arise which
directly affect Catholic institutions.
The Workmen's Compensation move
ment is of immediate interest to Cath
olic hospitals, but so far Catholic
opinion seems to have had no influ-
ence on this form of legislation The
Health Insurance movement, the
movement for state supervision of
Catholic institutions and for health
supervision of school children vitality
affect the interests of the Church.
The Committee on Reconstruction will
keep in close touch with these move
ments and will keep Catholics in
formed in regard to their develop
ments.
The most urgent problem which we
are facing at the present time is the
securing of employment for the re-
turning soldiers and the munitions
worker. This is primarily a govern.
ment function. The United States EN-
ployment service will make every eff.
fort to secure work for those who
have been displaced by reason of the
cessation of the war. In this work the
government realizes the Importance
of having the cooperation of private
agencies. On a recent Sunday the
Federal Directors of Employment in
the different states east of the Missis
sippi met with. the representative Of
the Y NJ. G. A., the National Catholic
War Council, and the Jewish Welfare
Board in Washington in order to de,
wise plan of cooperation between
the government and these organiza.
tions. 1t was decided that in each
city in the United States a Committee
should be formed representing the Ma.
tional Catholic War Council, the Y. M
G. A. and the Jewish Welfare Board
for the purpose Of handling the EN-
ployment problem during the period
of rehabilitation.

II MENTALLY there will be a
r. boys and girls club in each
school in every organized county
where there is county agricultural
agent in charge.
! AS rapidly as possible the State
Boys and Girls Club Leaders are Sc
lecting county leaders, sometimes in
connection with the Y. M. c. A.,
sometimes with the Boy Scouts, but
usually rounding up all the school
boys and girls to do practical things.
The Poultry Club is one of the most
important Of these projects. The
children are taught to handle the birds
from the egg to the ak. They are
taught to feed them properly, which
Is one of the reasons why they sue
coed where the hit or miss methods
Of the old-time farmer were often so
unproductive. AS rule the children
are taught that chicken feed made by
scientific manufacturers is more sue
icessful than makeshift feeds which
may or may not be had at home.
! They learn to protect their birds
from the weather. Mad as a wet
hen" Is no idle phrase. A hen will
not work If she is wet or exposed to
"a draft.

They are taught to care for IT,
physical wellbeing of their flock. Red
mites and lice are prevented by fix.
ing the roosts in sockets so that they
may be readily removed and washed
and oiled with kerosene which dis
courages the mites which cannot pass
to the birds at night as is their GUS
tom.
They are learning also to keep the
chicken houses sweet and clean.
There are good many disinfectants,
but the one which is simplest and
most pleasant is to spray with formal-
dehyde mixed in an equal amount Of
water, applying with an ordinary
spray gun to all parts of the ground
and litter which Is turned over and
over. All woodwork is treated with
a whitewash made of lime and salt
with half pint of formaldehydeI
mixed in the bucket of water. This
is applied with whitewash brush
and flooded into all crevices The
formaldehyde, unlike carbolic acid,
soon evaporates and the interior isl
spick and span. This sarne white
wash should be applied to the exterior
of the hen house and fences about
the runway.

ASK MERCY FOR
finn SOCIALISTS

COPENHAGEN, Nov. 81. - Core
Socialist and liberal members of the
Swedish Riksdag, numbering 1853,
have signed a petition for mercy for
nine Finnish socialists, who have
been condemned to death or impris-
onment by the White Guard for alleg-
ed rebellion. They assert there is
good reason for calling the recent
regime in Finland White terror"
They were among the best repre-
sentatives of Finnish Social Democ-
racy. Some of them were on their
way to the opening of the diet when
they were arrested. No one here is
convinced they were responsible for
the bloody deeds laid at their door,
seven out of the nine convicted hav-
ing against their own convictions, and
most unwillingly, served as officers OF
the Red Government.
Yrjoe Maekeling, a veteran advO-
cate of freedom, is alleged to have
written agitating articles. Eetu Salin,
who against his will, was made editor
of the Red official gazette, signed a
proclamation calling on the Reds to
lay down their arms. Paayo Lep-
paenen did not agree with the insur-
rection, and sent to Viborg where he
acted as an editor, and for the articles
he then wrote was condemned to die
by the White Guard. Nestor Aronen
and five others were convicted on the
same sort, or even weaker, testimony.
After careful examination of the
rest of the cases, where sentences of
from twelve to three years at hard la
Dor were imposed. there is most live
ly impression here that the recent
regime in Finland tried to rid the
country of the Socialist party.

YOUR GARDEN
(By ]. C. Kline, County Agent)

(By ]. C. Kline, County Agent)
A great deal of fertility is being
wasted this fall in bonfires. The
dead leaves which have fallen from
the trees will In most cases prove very
beneficial to garden soils. They
should be raked up and scattered over
the ground to a depth of four to six
inches and spaded or plowed under.
The soil should not be narrowed or
raked, but should be left in a rough
state during the winter.
Not only will the leaves provide
some fertility by rotting during the
winter months, but they are even
more valued for the effect they have
upon the texture of the soil; the
leaves an organic matter which
helps to tighten heavy soils and gives
all soils a greater power to quickly
heavy soils and gives all soils great
er power to quickly absorb and hold
moisture. Leaves are especially val
liable when barnyard manure is scarce
and hard to obtain.
A top dressing Of lime at the rate of
a pound to every ten square feet will
prove beneficial.

One of the most important items in
improving the dairy business of each
county is to have a sufficient number
of sires which are accessible to all Il
the members. 1t is often impossible
for the Cwner of herd to have rs
good a sire as he really desires. Then
it is the business of the County Agent
and of the Cow Testing Association t.
provide service of enough good bulls
to improve the quality of every calf.
which are so necessary to replace the
COWS which have been eating their
heads Off at the dairyman's expense.
The matter of feeding bulls and
cows has great deal to do with theit
value. Animals which are not fed
well at this time of the year go into
winter with a handicap, thin in flesh
and the cows have a reduced milk
flow. It is not only expensive but "5ai
less to attempt to bring them back J
normal toward the end of the winter.
1t pays to feed them literally all
through their resting period.
dairymen who are in position to
raise or to buy all the ingredients nee.
essay to properly feed their dairy
stock. 1t is much better and nearly
always cheaper to buy a dairy feed
of exact digestible nutrients. 1t is rel
peatedly proven that commercial
feeds will compete in price with any
possible home mixture, and what is
more important, will save the time Of
the farmer, for labor on the farm il
the scarcest commodity.
The feeding Of bulls is especially
important. He must be kept in goo \
bodily flesh and condition, and 1t car
not be a feast or a famine with hinl
if you expect him to help you to build
up your dairy herd. He must be fed
regularly, abundantly and intelligent
ly. A valuable bull must not be ruined
by stinginess in feeding.

THE USE OF COMMUNITY
BULLS.
How County Agents Are Building Up
the Live Stock Industry of
the Country.

National Crop improvement Service.)
n EVERY well organized county
the cow-testing clubs are making
a grand record. There are nearly
three thousand counties in the United
States Twenty-Five hundred of them
have County Agricultural Agent
under some more or less satisfactory
arrangement, and the breeding up of
the dairy herds is one of the main
projects.
All of the live stock interests have
recognized that it IS good business to
help the County Agent with his group
selection of cows and bulls. H. r.
Smith, the Agricultural Commissioner
of the Chicago Live Stock Exchange,
is undertaking to organize the work
that he can act as clearing house for
all county farm bureaus which desire
to secure we'll bred bulls of any breed.
Mr.. Hugh Van Pelt, who is the half
owner of Financial Sensation, the
eixty-thousand-dollar Jersey bull
shown in the illustration, says:
'It is certainly desirable to use a
tried sire, especially if his breeding
denotes that he is descended from
high producing ancestors that were
excellent individuals. if he is Of good
type and conformation, provided his
blood lines are such that he will nick
well with the herd on which he is to
.be used" Such a bull is always
worth a great deal Of money.
The breeding of Financial Sensa-
ticn started many years ago on the
Island of Jersey, and his pedigree
shows that he is the result of most
careful breeding from the most pro-
tlific Jersey cows, and his family rec

government.
While it is not permitted to reveal the

the nature of this report and the genera
work Of the convention is well known te
public men in England and Ireland. Pre-
mier Lloyd George declared when ths
convention was organized that if it agreed
upon any plan for government it's plar
would be embodied in a bill and placed be.

Whether a mere majority report in ia

Premier Lloyd George also strongly in
timated that the government might pro

States commissioner of education, in
an address at founders day exercises
of Tuskegee Institute here, urged that
the ideals of the late Booker T. Wash
lington should never be forgotten in
the education Of the negro. DR.. C1axton
was introduced by William G. Wilcox
Of New York, who is here attending the
annual meeting of the board of trustees
of the institute, of which he is chair
man.
OF the life work of the late negro
leader DR.. Claxton said:
! Booker Washington fought for the
ideal that the education of the negro
shall stress, first, the development Of
character, and, second, adaptability to
the needs of the pupil and the commu-
nifty. 1t will take the best thought and
the wiseSt leadership on the part OF
the men and women in all groups to
achieve this ideal of education. Amer
lea will not soon repay the debt it owes
to Booker Washington. His demonstra-
ton for his race that education is a
/ idignifying human service rather than
a means of escaping labor Is only less
| important than his demonstration to
the southern people that education of
the negro is a fundamental need for
the south and the nation"
Exercises also were held commemo-
rating the sixty-second anniversary of
the birth of Booker Washington.
Among members of the board at the
exercises were Frank Trumbull. chair
man of the board of directors of the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, and
Julius Rosenwald of the advisory COM
mission of the Council of National De-

it is believed that the Germans did not
learn that Americans We're occupy

and took it. though there were many
signs today that the Americans put

Holding Opposite crests:
I'm this hilly< terrain the forces are
holding opposite crests. the American
dugouts being on the lee side of hill

right the program is varied with gas

gas masks for many hours each day.
This ground has been fought over
many times. One night two "Manerick"
soldiers crawled out of their own

abandoned trench in no mans land, and
cheerfully started sniping the German
trenches less than 100 yards away. The
Germans. unable to oust them with ma
