Dr. McAuliffe, in his address gave the reason Catholic educators in- sist on the parochial school for the young children. He laid particular stress on the very early religious train ing, and the effect on the infant minds of the able work done by the teachers in the Catholic schools. The superior citizenship possible for a people who have received youthful religious train ing was noted, and attention was call ed to the effect on the patriotism of a religious and God fearing nation.

 That's why I am going to show you a little gingham dress-it's equiv- alent to your three piece menu It is substantial, and I know you will be pleased with it.''
 Don't you think the yellow and black check is rather striking?" que. ried Miss Wellington.
 Tt is, but you can carry it off very nicely because of your slender height"
 Miss Wellington slipped into the dress made of yellow and black large check gingham. A slightly bloused bodice lent a decidedly girlish affect to the dress. The pleated skirt has an apron-panel depending from the waistline. The only ornamentation is the novel belt, which gives the dress a distinctive tone. The sleeves are quite plain, and are finished with long shaped cuffs of white linen.
 The white linen collar contrasts prettily with the ye::ow and black check.

 Cold weather affecting produce market.
 The cold weather of the last week has caused a decided decrease in the amount of produce handled in the Farmers Market. The pea season is right in it's prime and more peas were handled this morning than any pre- vious day. This delectable vegetable is selling wholesale from $2.00-2.5O a busheI or 5O-60c a peck according to variety and quality. Housewives are advised that now is. the time to can peas. They require no sugar and what tastes better in the winter time than nome canned peas?

quality were costing the retailer $s or 25c quart.
 Lettuce is moving very slow in the market and most sales were at 40-5Oc a dozen heads or 3-5c head. People should eat more lettuce and retailers should cooperate by handling this product at as low a margin of profit as they can so as to keep this valua- ble vegetable in supply.
 Beans, both the green and wax va rieties are coming in in increasing quantities, over 40 bushels being handled this morning at $3.25 a bushel wholesale or 10-12c a quart Rhubarb and asparagus continue scarce and the season is practically closed for both of these spring vege- tables. Local cabbage is on the in- crease and the end of the week will probably find this product in good supply. Prices are ranging from S3-S3.5O a bbl. of about 2 dozen heads or 12-15c a head.
