Business government and civil life
pursuits are undergoing fundamental
changes, and they will never again be
as they were before the war. Busi-

must put themselves in frame Of
mind to readjust themselves to the
new order of things that is sure to
come. How sweeping this change will
be no man can foretell, and as the City
Council is the legislative body of the

VIM. F. BROOKS
The Man Who Put Minneapolis
L On the Map As An Avia-

Mr.. VIM. F. Brooks, one Of the lead
ing business men Of Minneapolis. is
the president Of the Aero Club, whose
motto, "HeIp Win the War in the Air"
has resulted in the location of an
aviation field and training school for
mechanics in this city.
The record which Mr. Brooks has
made in public affairs, through his ef-
forts in behalf of the Aero club, Lib
erty Loan and Red Cross campaigns,
has brought him prominently before
the public and many of his friends,

Che manufacturing of aeroplanes will
become as important an industry in
the United States as the manufacturing
of automobiles was decade ago, and
that the business men of Minneapolis
and all the various trade and labor as

war Is over, take steps to establish in
Minneapolis factories for this purpose
which will be a credit to the city and
bring to our community a most i'm

feeling the Importance Of having in the
state Senate men whose loyalty could
not be questioned, whose judgment is
sound, and who can honestly and ef-

prevailed upon Mr.. Brooks to stand

Thirty-first district, composing the
Fifth and Sixth wards.
Mr.. Brooks has lived in Minneapolis
for 43 years and has been resident
Of the Fifth ward for 20 years. He

securing the franchise Of the Mime

Regarding the future activities Of
the Aero club, Mr.. Brooks says:
"Of course, at the present time all
our thought and attention is centered
on winning the war. But some day
this war will be over and when that
day comes there is no department Of
business that will prosper and develop.
we believe, so rapidly as commercial

advantage of the situation and have
the city OF Minneapolis receive all the
possible benefit therefrom.

Community Leadership.

The great problem in promoting
town progress is to get people who
will take the lead, and do things.
There are usually plenty who are
willing to help if someone will tell
them what to do. 1t is easier to get
half dozen people to serve on q
committee, than it is to find one per-
son who will be the chairman of that
committee and take responsibility.
There are plenty of people here in
DEBORAH who have excellent ideas
and express them with force and in
telligence. But if you ask them to
take hold and make an effort to car
ry out these very meritorius suggest
ions, o, no, they couldn't!
The moment that it is suggested
to anyone that he take the lead in
any community proposition, he be-
comes filled with a modest and
shrinking spirit. People are fearful
OIL llILi6 CilIlCloLi, VI oSOHo ~
make themselves prominent. And
so for lack of positive leadership,
most of our good ideas are dead be-
fore they are born.
No town gets ahead much until 1t
has a live board of trade or lmprov-
ment Society or whatever local name
may be given. The backing of such
an organization helps people over
come the false modesty that leads
them to seek the back seats.
If a person is qualified for leader
ship. his friends should insist that
he take Office in community organi-
cations. If his friends believe him
competent he should, accept their
and have faith in his own
ability to get things done. III a
man or woman will only
nut the same energy or thought into
community work that is put into
that persons own business or home
tasks, great things can be done Tor
ones home town. And it is rewarding
work. Public spirit is the quality
that the community honors and
values the most.

BELLS AND VICTORY
LAY POWER HAS NO RIGHT TO
ORDER THE RINGING OF
CHURCH BELLS.

Civil functionaries have no right
whatever to order the ringing of the
bells of a Catholic church. Those
bells serve a religious purpose only.
The ritual for the blessing of bells
has been in use in the Church for
nearly twelve hundred years. Ac-
cording to ecclesiastical law, even if
the consecrated bells belong to lay
persons, the right to their use resides
solely with the clergy.
Concerning this matter, the Cath
olfc Encyclopedia" says: "The sol
emn ceremony of benediction provid-
ed in the 'PontiffcaP can only be car
ried out by a bishop or by priest
specially empowered, and it is only to
be employed in the case of bells in
tended for church use. For other
bells simpler blessing is provided
in the 'Rituale.' Numerous prohibi'
tions exist against church bells be-
ing used for 'profane' purposes, e.
G., for summoning meetings or for
merely secular festivities and in par
ticuIar for executions. In Catholic &c
clesiastical legislation the principle is
maintained that the control of bells
rests absolutely with the clergy
