WARNING
Order Repair Parts of Farm
ing Machinery Early, Delay
May Mean Serious Loss

Don't rely on eleventh hour repair service this
year. Overhaul machines and order repair parts a
long time i'll advance of the you expect to use
the machines. Freight and express shipments move
troops and Government supplies they are likely to
move slower in The future.
Everything possible is being done by manufacture
crs and the Government to the farmer of ann
pie repair parts. Nevertheless ne should take steps
to avoid inevitable delays by planning ahead If nc
waits until the minute he needs them before ordering
il may be impossible to get repair parts to him in
time.
Order repair parts now even if you do not expect
TO use them for several months That is the only way
to be and safe against the loss that you are al
most certain to suffer if you delay until the last
minute.

Grison, M. S. H., Vicar Apostolic of
Stanley Falls, Belgian Congo. He asks
that we do not send any offerings for
Mass intentions until we hear further
from him, as it is very difficult at
present to get altar wine, and conse-
quently impossible to fulfill Mass obli-
cations. Europe can send almost no
wine out of the country, and the
Bishop is going to try Cape Town, to
see if possibly he can secure supply
there. What a sad situation is this,
for, as the Bishop says, Mass inten-
tons are the great support of the mis-
sion materially, and to be deprived of
the consolation of the Divine Presence
would be a still greater calamity.
