Bishop Urges Catholic Reading
Bishop McDevitt, of Harrisburg, in a
recent pastoral said: 1. In every
Catholic family there should be plen-
tiful supply of wholesome reading
matter. The existence of good books
in a household implies an effective
embargo against books that are dan
gerous to faith and morality. Q This
wholesome literature should include
the Bible-at least the New Tesla
ment-the lives of the saints, books
bearing on the spiritual life, books
that explain the doctrines of the
Church, a Catholic paper and Cath
Ollie magazine. 3. To render fruitful
the possession of these treasures, the
practice of family reading is highly
advisable. 4. A most important duty
on the part of Catholics in regard to
good literature is the support of the
Catholic press

HURRY DISCHARGES
At CAMP MEADE
Speed up Demobilization m Order
to Get Men Home for
Christmas.

Gimp Meade, Admiral, Md, Dec.
l3.-With 1000 men on the way here
from Camp Wadsworth. Spartanburg,
S. c. and smaller contingents coming
from otner directions, the demobIlIza-
uon officers are working at top speed
NTH the idea of getting as many men as
possible back home for Christmas. Most
of those bound for this camp were in
ducted into the service within few
hundred miles of mere, and this is to be
a mere way station for them in their
homeward journey. AS many as 200
have oecn discharged and shipped away
IN single day, ana for this week the
total will reach ABOUT 5000
Nothing seems to bring down the
camp population, however, for the in
coming tide is as great as the outward
flow. Medical examiners and the cler-
ical forces are going at the JOB with en-
thusiasm, but above them there is CON
slant pressure for more speed. the rail
road men assigned to the movements
are concentrating thought upon making
the best possible showing by Christmas.
To get out the greatest number, the
first plan of clearing the development
battalions first was strictly adhered to,
because 1T was found easier TO get rid
of Glass A, fit for overseas, than Of those
who were not yet developed TO the stand
axd required for full duty. So the de-
velopment work goes on in some com
panies while other whole companies
are marching away. The last of the artil-
lery and trench mor,ar men win get out
by the end of the week Most of the col
ored soldiers from Camp Dix are now
out.

and prairie and sand. 1 remember
you used to tell about the Texas
steers, they had such long horns,
and they were so poor they were
nothing but skin and bones. Some OF
them looked so poor they were hard

OFFER PRIZE FOR
BEAN CROP
Iowa School Kids Likely to Raise
Enough Beans to Feed the Whole
World This Summer.
AN ACRE OF BEANS
In EVERY SCHOOL DISTRICT
1000 Districts i'm Iowa. and Navy
Beans Yield up to Twenty
Bushels to the Acre.

The Iowa county whose school
of beans in 1918 will receive as
a prize a school library valued at
$50. offered by S. j. Clarke and
Company of Chicago.
This prize offer is in connection
with the school war bean project
which was launched at a special
meeting of county superintendents
in Des Moines the last week in
February.
Il is planned that at least an
acre of navy beans is to be cult
waited in every school district in
the state. AS there are some 1900
such districts and as navy beans
yield up to 20 bushels to the acre,
the addition to the bean supply of
the state as a result. of this pro-
ject can readily be computed.
Pupils may take up this work at
home personally or collectively on
school ground if such is available.
1t is suggested that teachers and
pupils try to encourage the rails
ing of beans by farmers and 9TH
ers, the same to count to the credit
of the district in the report of the
amount raised in the district. In
all cases the work will be known as
the school district bean raising pro-
ject, although it is planned to en-
list the cooperation not only of
teachers but also of local clubs,
garden leaders, farmers and others
interested.
In addition to the county prize
already mentioned, the following
prizes are offered to communities
producing the most beans:
To city of 5000 and above, one
set of McMaster's history of the
people of the United States, offered
by ID. Appleton & Co., of Chicago.
To town of 1000 and under 49,
600, Webster's new international
dictionary.
To towns and villages below l.
600, not consolidated, school library
of ten volumes, offered by A. Elan
nagan Co., of Chicago.

or district, agricultural and farm
library of nine volumes, offered by
CHM & Co., of Chicago.
To consolidated district, home and
school cyclopedia, offered by O..

Iowa.
To rural Independent district
agriculture and the farming bust
ness offered by the Bobbs-Merrili
Co., of Indianapolis; and school and
home gardening, offered by j. B..
Lippincott Co., of Philadelphia.
In addition to the foregoing pri-
yes it is possible that others will
be added before the campaign is
over, which will be applied in the
classes where they will be made
suitable.
Each district entering the contest
is required to keep a record OF
the amount of seed planted, acreage,
and the amount of beans produced
Prizes will be awarded on the most
beans produced by the various clas-
ses of school districts and the aggre-
gate of school districts in county.
