ST. HlLAlRE LUMBER CO.

The expense of building at present
is such that only a careless and ex-
travagant person would indiscriminate-
ly buy from a lumber company whose
prices are not exorbitant The st. Hill
aire Lumber Co., near the Great
Northern depot, carries a fine line of
lumber, building materials, coal and
wood at moderate prices. Their lum-
Der possesses utility qualities which
are unusual and which cuts the high
cost of building very substantially
This company is managed by G. W.
Harnwell an experienced man in the
lumber business. Through his efforts
materials are bought from large fac
tories whenever there is a reduction
in price. In this way the ST. Hilaire
Lumber Company is able to sell their
materials to customers who are de-
sirous of securing the lowest possible
prices. Then business methods have
been worked out with the greatest
care, and they see that their custom
ers are given first-class service.

asbestos roof. In the year 1914 two
lots which stood between the church
and rectory were bought for the sum
of $3.50. The rectory then was NOV
ed nearer to the church, on its pres
ent site. A large basement and a
hOt-Water heating plant were added
to the rectory. The parish now owns
a frontage of 225 feet on Beltrami
Avenue. The location is an ideal one,
being close to the court house and the
new postoffice. In August, 1914, the
parish acquired a site of ten acres
for a cemetery at cost of $3.50. 1t is
two miles from the church. 1t was
surveyed, fenced in and a beautiful
orbronze Calvary was placed in the
center of it.
St. Philips parish today is valued
at 100000, with $4,000 liabilities. The
pastor and congregation are anxiously
looking forward to the day when they
will have a Catholic school. The con
gregation all told numbers about IT'S
families.

was built by Rev. Philip Murphy in
1899. 1t was a frame building and
cost about $4,000. Father Murphy, the
first Catholic pastor of Bemidji, was
succeeded by Rev. John O'DWyer in
1905. Under Father ODwyer the first
church was sold to the school board
in the year 1906. In the year 1907
the first part of the present beautiful
brick church was built. Father
O'Dwyer was succeeded by Rev. John
]. T. Philippe on the feast of All
Saints in the year 1911. The church
was enlarged considerably in the fall
of 1916. New affairs, a new, large
tiled sanctuary, new stained glass
pictured windows, a new lighting sys-
tenn and large, commodious sacristy
were some of the features added with
the new addition. A steam heating
plant has taken the place of the old

WASHINGTON'S MAxIMS.

These are some of the rules of con.
duct the Father of our country made:
Let your recreations be manful, not
sinful.
Speak no evil of the absent, for it is
unjust.
Let your conversation be without
malice or envy.
Let your discourse with men of bust.
ness be short and comprehensive.
Undertake not what you cannot per-
form, but be careful to keep your
promise.
Be not apt to relate views if you
know not the truth thereof
When man does all he can, though
it succeed not well, blame not him that
did it.
Labor to keep alive in your breast
that little spark of celestial fire called
conscience.
