ing on the comforting of the title of

met Marshal Foeh in the last few
days are unanimous in declaring he
is in great, good humor, according

National "Peace Novena" in Ireland.
All Ireland is on her knees in prayer
during these days to Our Lady OF
Lourdes i'll the great novena for inter

scenes have been witnessed in both
town and country at the opening OF
the devotions. In the southern cities
many of the shops and business estab.

employees to participate in the opening
of the novena. The churches have
been crowded to their doors and where
ever there was statue of Our Lady
of Lourdes special decorations have
adorned it. At Mount Argus, near
Dublin, there was great procession
and FIR. Columbian, C. P, urged the
people to have recourse to Mary in

would suffer in any such appeal; the
appellants were repudiated by Catho

London-Events have been moving
very quickly here in regard to the Irish
question. Following on the repudia
ton of the attitude of the Irish Bish
ops by the Catholic Union of Great
Britain, has come the reputation OF
the Catholic Union by the Stafford
Catholic Federation, and also by the
Bishop and chapter of that diocese
The Catholic Federation in it's resolu
ton says that the Catholic Union has
no right to speak for the body of Brit
ish Catholics and that is unknown to
the large majority Of Catholics outside
London. The Bishop and chapter Of
this Northern stronghold Of Catholicity
consider that the attitude assumed by
the Union is mischievous and beyond
their, sphere. Bishop Dunn of Not

the press upholding the attitude of the
Irish Bishops. Cardinal Logue has
been interviewed and has declared that

Whether the word has gone round that

The American Patriots" are within!
They are the only body of men joined
together in common cause, ashamed
to wear badge of their lodge, asham-
ed to admit membership. Their one
aim is to overthrow the Catholic
Church, their binding tie, common
hatred for their Catholic fellow men.
The Methodist Church stands con.
victed as a sponsor Of this band. In
New York State it operates as t'The
Great Secret Oorder," with Bishop
Burt, of Buffalo, State Master. This
good Methodist Bishop is known to
fame as political worker of the Meth.
odist Episcopal Church, and was for
some few years it's resident European
Bishop. Think not that the divine is
wearing a badge to identify him with
the latest anti-Catholic movement. The
proof, however, is at hand to show that
he is the head and tail of the tribe in
New York State.
An illiterate wanderer who helped
out Brother Burt in recent political
work in New York State is at the head
of the movement in Maryland, the
cradle Of religious liberty. Certain
Methodist churches have been initiated
to further the anti Catholic campaign
and to set brother against brother.

this supreme sacrifice met, because
we know that no greater or. more glo-

our sons die fighting for the STARS

Therefore, we feel that we have a
solemn obligation, to prevent in so
far as we can, any calumny being
heaped upon the original stock of our
race in Ireland. From the information
which seeps through from channels
inimical to their welfare, we learn that
they are thoroughly united against
foreign rule and will preserve their
rights to the last drop of blood and
never surrender, especially to the
most odious of measures, namely, con-
scription, sought to be forced upon
them by a foreign power for which no
Irish nationalist parlimentarian voted.
We beg of the American people to
think as to what they would say and
do under like circumstances. They, the
Irish, are striving for freedom of their
small nation. Therefore, if from rea'
sons of policy we cannot as people
specially declare for the freedom of
Ireland at this time, let us in the name
of High Heaven refuse to condemn
the patriots of Ireland who are work

MORE CORN
THIS YEAR

West Raleigh, April 2.-North Car
olina needs more corn this year than
ever before in the history of the State
North Carolina should produce more
corn this year than ever before in
her history. She should do this in
spite of a shortage Of labor by paying
more attention to better soil prepar-
alton and better fertilization. Mr.. C.
B Williams, chief, division of apron-
omy, agricultural extension service,
states that these matters are of high
Importance, and that at least 20
per cent increase in the number of
bushels should be made. This can be
done, he states, and no effort must be
spared to bring it about. If it is a
normal season and the corn is given
better cultivation and more intelli-
gent fertilization the increase can be
made.
Notwithstanding the high price of
fertilizers, it would pay TO use them
where the corn needs more plant food
The advance in price of corn has been
considerably more than the advance
in price of fertilizer materials, and
if small increase Of from 100 to $50
pounds of fertilizer per acre is wisely
used, good increase in the Yields
Of corn will be made at considerably
less price than will be the value of
the increases in the yields of grain
brought about through the use of the
fertilization. Especially is this true
when the soil is given careful prep
aration and corn is we'll cultivated

THE SANITARY DANGERS
FROM DOMESTIC PETS

United States Public Health Service.
A report on an epidemic of viru-
lent smallpox in one of the southwest
ern states, submitted to the Surgeon
General of the Public Health Service
by one OF the officers of that corps,
sets forth with renewed emphasis the
role that domestic pets may play in
the transmission Of disease, especial
ly among children. The instance cited
was that of fatal case of smallpox in
an infant in arms. The nearest case
of the disease was in a house block
or so distant, and although the two
families had no social relations, this
apparently did not deter a dog be-
longing to the infected family from
dividing his attention impartially be-
tween the two homes, eating at one
place and sleeping at the other.
In no other way could the source
of the infection of the baby be ex-
planned, than that the dog fondled by
the children Of the smallpox family
carried the virus Of the disease to the
neighbor's baby. Similar instances
have been noted before in connection
with smallpox transmission, and cats
and dogs both have been incriminated
as carriers Of plague infected fleas
cases of bubonic plague so contracted
having been observed by Public Health
Service officers working in recent
plague epidemics. The same house
hold pets also have been charged in
certain instances with the RESPONSE
bility of carrying the Infection of
diphtheria, scarlet fever and other
communicable diseases of children, as
we'll as various intestinal parasites.
A disease that annually causes more
than 100 deaths in this country is ra-
bies and the role of domestic animals
in spreading this disease is definitely
proven, speculation or circumstantial
evidence being discarded.
Altogether therefore, it is perfectly
evident that the citizen who keep do
mestic pets maintains at the same
time a very potential source of dan
ger; sanitary menace to his own
household and to that of his neighbor
While this aspect of the subject ap-
plies year in and year out, it may well
behoove the city dweller in these
times of urgent demand for food con-
servation to seriously take council
with himself as to whether he is justi-
fled in continuing to keep his dog or
his cat, both of which are casual
sources of mental annoyance to neigh
bors, as well as agents for graver DO
tentialitieS.
