NOTES..

Our blessings are many. If we stop
to examine the list we will be amazed
at their number. Standing out before
all others is the blessing of faith, that
wonderful vitalizing faith that makes
the timid soul as strong as God Him
self, and sheds ineffable light and
comfort over the hardest difficulties.
What would we do without it? Life
would be unbearable and death a ter
ror. If we realize it's meaning we
should be certainly keen to share it
with others that they may enjoy our
happiness.
Father Joseph Gerenton, O. F. NJ, is
very proud of the Corpus Christi pos
session in the Pingtu district, Shan
tung. The natives turned out in great
numbers and pagans as well as Chris
tians paid the ceremonies respectful
attention. Bishop Wilmer was pres
ent as was also the Provincial of the
Order. The former bore the Blessed
Sacrament, and little girls dressed as
angels strewed flowers along the
route. Perhaps in no way is the free
dom now enjoyed by the Church in
China more emphasized than in the
public PROFESSIONS so much in vogue.
The governor of New Caledonia has
bestowed official recognition upon Sis
ter Marie Alexis, who has charge of
the hospital at Port Villa. This nun
has been fifteen years in her impor-
tant position and has brought the
greatest devotion to her arduous. labor.

Where the Newspaper Stands

The local board of Waterloo Ia is said to have held the newspaper business to be a non productive essential enterprise and to classified the men of draft age. employed, and to have ordered them to work or fight. The dispatch describing this action of the board is rather vague The ruling of the board appears to have been applicable to a single paper rather than to journalism as whole
 Waterloo is town of about the size of Phoenix It has several newspapers two daily, agricultural with extensive circulation, three or four journals devoted to the daryng industry and one or two poultry papers, Which of these seven or eight has under the anmadversion of the local board is stated
 Some newspapers essential and some are productive of anything but trouble for their owners and the communities in which they are located But the board without authority judge between or among industries of the class, is to differ entiate An1 further. understand the numerous and complex rulings issued from the office of the provost marshal general. the local boards are not charged with the duty of determining what industries non-essentia and non-producive and what
 
 The board, of course, had right to classify the employed that newspaper or any newspaper for neither employees nor owners of newspapers are exempt or are entitled to any considerations to which other citizens are not entitled They have never been exempt anywhere. They must take their chances along with all other citizens under the selective draft But the fact that the provost marshal general has indicated that newspapers non-productive leaves 10 newspapermen the right to work at their chosen vocation until they called upon to fight
 The Waterloo local board may only have chosen this way to convey their disapprobation of a par ticular newspaper. Or, the board may indulged in joke as an Arizona legislature did one time when it enacted defining the offense producing newspaper felony subject to dire penalties. The governor at that me when the bill reached him. be- lieved that the joke had gone far enough.

I don't think the Ameri- can people realize how big a job it is yet. l hope they do wake up soon. The sooner we win, the less lives and the less money we lose. If we win this summer it will save a hundred thous- and American soldiers lives. While we are getting ready, so is Fritz. We must beat him to it. He knows we will win if he can't win a decisive vic tory this year. Therefore his great drive on the Somme. Well Dad. write as often as you can and tell mother and Otis to do the same.

The State of the Germans?

The successful attack of the French and Ameri- cans on the Marne salient the unremitting vgor with which they have prosecuted the advance to the Nese River appears to have demoralzed the Germans along the line through Picardy and made possible the successful drive of the British and French southeast of Amens. Meanwhile throughout the battles in the Marne salient the British have been engaged in oessful nibbling operations in Flanders
 All this has probably been made possible by the shifting of German divisions from the northern part the line the Marne region. All this scarcity of German reserves and if that is the Of the most recent German disasters little fear need be entertained of further German offensive this year.
 The Germans have enjoyed great advantage the allies in the matter of transportation Within their shorter line they have had opportunity since the latter part of March construct roads and build railroads chords of circles, for the rapid dispatch of troops from point another while the allies especially after July 20, have had in the Marne region only ruined country traverse with bridges and destroyed. Allied other points on the line could move only in of circles
 Unless the Germans have coup in mind it appears that they must be outnumbered along the whole western front.
 Some weeks ago Colonel Repington the military expert of the London Mail, asked Where Mackensens dvisons?' He stated that it known that the conqueror of Russia Rumania had forty divisions that had yet appeared the western front It was later reported that Mackensen was take supreme command the western front but his whereabouts remain mystery. Certainly there has been place within the last three weeks where his genius and his divisions were more seriously needed by Germany
 There is situation in Russia at present what ever it may become later that calls for either von Mackensen or his supposed army. Events there may for months to be controlled by minor comman- ders It is hardly possible that this great force has anywhere been held in reserve. We may hope and is not ble believe they have long since been absorbed and that present weakness of Germany is not only apparent but real All this though is not so certain to warrant any letting up of the business of increasing strength. The gov ernment is going forward just it would be going if Germany were winning instead of losing
 We have more ground for confidence now than have ever had before but well grounded con- fdence does not the slightest lack of precaution.

SHORT GUT ROADS
 ID COAST OUTLINED

Several reports of short cut to Cal ifornia have reached the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce. When the well known road map maker. Harry Locke. was in Phoenix few days ago, the road committee of the chamber of commerce, asked Harry to go over the road and make a report on it. Locke was leaving for California in few days and agreed to make the run over this so-clled new route. Word has just been received from Locke in which he says:
 The road from Barbee (New Bill Williams Fork, at Cactus Queen Mine) to Yucca is not in shape to be traveled until some contemplated work is done. There are bad, rocky grades. sand washes and the road is only fit for boot -leggers to use.

SAVE PLENTY OF SEED CORN

In both quantity and quality.
 Because of killing frosts in De- tooer, the seed corn situation. last spring was so serious as to cause na- tlon- wide alarm. The U. S. Depart rnent of Agriculture, state officials, agricultural colleges, county agents, newspapers, bankers, business men ana farmers were aroused. Cam palgns were conducted to test Seed corn and locate every good ear of nome grown seed.
 The result has been gratifying, but the expense must have reached into the millions of dollars. In some local tues It was necessary to import seed because the 1917 crop did not mature and not sufficient seed corn of the 1916 crop has been saved.
 This experience should prove a les son to us. Never again should we be caught without plenty of seed corn Tn every normal year we should save plenty Of seed. We should always save enough for our own use for two years and enough in addition to supply some neighbor who may not nave any. We should always bear in fnind that the next corn crop may be total or partial failure.
 Every ear of seed corn should be harvested before the severe fall freezes and stored where it will dry out and keep dry. The best method IS to tie it up with binding twine as shown in the cut. Hang the strings ] Tn the attic in rows about four inches apart
Norwich bulletin., 1918-09-04
By P. G. HOLDEN

Harvest your seed corn before it freezes.
 Hang 1t in the attic or upstairs room where there is a free circula- ton of air.
 Profit by the lesson of 1917 and save enough seed corn each year to crop fails to mature.
 Don't get caught again without seed corn.
 Always save enough seed to last two years.
 Remember, the next corn crop may be a total or partial failure and you may not be able to save any good seed from it.
 IL always pays to have good seed corn to sell to your neighbors.
 If your surplus is not needed for seed it Is not wasted. It always has a market value or may be fed to stock. IT it is needed as seed it will be worth many times it's market value as grain.
 To save plenty of good seed corn Is always good business. It is pa triotic. lt is our duty to ourselves. our community and our country
 Crop reports indicate that, if con ditions between now and harvest time are favorable. this years corn crop will be about normal
 But. because of the serious seed corn situation last spring, there is danger that some of the corn may have been grown from imported seed and either will not mature before frost or will produce a yield inferior
