HOLY SEE TO IGNORE
PAN-CHRISTIAN CONGRESS.

Rome, April l3.-It is stated semi
officially on behalf of the vatican
that the holy see4has not given its
adherence, to the Pan Christian CON
gress which it is proposed to hold
shortly, as the Catholic church, con-
sidering her dogmatic character,
could not join in the congress on
an equal footing.
The feeling of the vatican, says
the semi-official expression, is that
all the other Christian denomina-
tions seeded from the Roman
church, which descends directly
from Christ, and that, therefore,
Rome can not go to them, it being
for them to return to her bosom.
The pope, the expression adds. is
ready to receive representatives of
dissident churches with open arms,
as the Roman church has always
longed for the unihcation of all
Christian religion.
/ Pope Leo XIII, it is pointed out,
was deeply interested in the ques-
tion and wrote two famous encycli-
Gals on the subject of the uni6ca-
tion Of the Christian churches.

MEAT INCREASE
AT Time NEEDED
Producers Responded No5ly
When Demand Was Shown
to Them.
CATTLE AND HOG FIGURES.
Government Justified in Pork Policy
Which Nov Provides Chief Sup
Sly to Meet Three Billion
Pound Fat shortage.

In line with the general plan OF con-
| Administration Immediately following
the entrance of the United States into
the war the contribution made by the
meat producers of this country TO the
war program is of particular signifi-
eance. as IL demonstrates the hearty
cooperation accorded the Food Ad-
minisgration by the m at producers of
the country.
According TO reports of the L. :.
Department of Agriculture. there was
an increase in cattle of lO23S.0oO head
and IL All 900 hogs, these figures com
piled to January l last. In the same
period there was decrease of $4,000
head of sheep. but indications are this
decrease will show an increase follow
ing the latest reports.
Since January l unofficial informa
don indicates an increase in hogs of
not less than eight per cent and not
more than fifteen par cent. compared
with one year ago, with an increase in
average weight.
Following the request of the Food
Administration for increase in hog
production for the fall of 1918 and the
spring of 1919 the increase may yield
not less than 1900 900, 600 pounds
more of pork products than We're
available last year. Without this In
crease the shipping program arranged
by Mr. Hoover regarding animal food
products would have been impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 30,
1917, amounted to 903,1T2. 600 pounds,
while for the same months of 1918 the
production was 1,277 $1,000 pounds,
an increase of over 374 100000 pounds
for the quarter.
During the same period In 1917 In
spected slaughter records of dressed
beef showed 1858 100000 pounds as
against 1,454 100000 pounds for the
three month period ending September
l. this year.
We must increase our meat shir-
ments. especially our pork products
to meet the added demands of the mil
lions liberated from German OppreS-
sion And at the same time we must
look forward to the rehabilitation of
the European meat herds. The policy
which guided our meat program in the
past year has been fully justified, for
only the heavy pork production which
il has brought about will enable US
even partly to satisfy the increased
demands on us for the coming year.
There will be world shortage in fats.
and il is TO the United States thai Ed
rope must look to supply its defcIen-
cy. At the same time there will CON
tinue TO be heavy demands for beef
Owing TO the limited refrigerator ship
ping capacity European imports OF
beef for some time will be limited
The United States, Australia and
Argentine will be able to maintain a
supply that will keep all available
freezer vessels operating at capacity.

Ex-President Roosevelt is Dead

In the death of president
Roosevelt the nation has lost one
of its most virile characters and
the Republican party IFS strong
est hope of electing a president
in 1920. Col. Roosevelt was isO-
lated in qualities from the com
mon run of mankind. He was
honest in the extreme idiosyn-
cracies that his life reflected in
sometimes painful relief. He
emphasized the viewpoint of his
strenuous character with intel
lectual dynamic force that drew
men after him by the sheer force
of his will
His service to the country as a
president and statesman is writ
ten IN enduring lines into the an
mails of the nation. His contribu-
lions TO literature are replete with
valuable research and his private
life contains no smirCh that OPP
crates to belittle his greatness.
The world recognized Col. Roos-
welt as a man OF unusual quail
ties, and while many did not agree
with his political pronounce
ments, there were few who did
not concede to him honesty of
purpose in the policies he adyo-
Gated. Col. Roosevelt died of
rheumatism while he was asleep
in his home at Sycamore Hill.
In the quiet of the night, while
none were at his bedside, the
soul of this great American took
its flight 10 that other world to
receive the reward of his life as
he spent ii on earth. The nation
is bowed with sorrow and re
allies that il has lost another of
its great citizens.

who can succeed themselves
probably will offer for reelection.
The outlook for a big crop OF
candidates is good. All county
officials that will be elected this
year will be put upon a salary
basis. The fee system will be a
thing OF the past after this year
Many believe that the fee system
will prove beneficial TO the tax

MISS WAKEMAN
GIVEN SURPRISE
AT NEWPORTPARTY
Popular Barton Girl Given
Novel Shower by Chums
at Miss Drew's Home

The home of Miss Dorothy Drew
was the scene Friday evening of
a very pretty shower given by Miss
Drew and several of her girl friends
in honor of Miss Alice Wakeman of
Barton, who is to be married dl-
rectly after the holidays.
Miss Wakeman, who was formerly
employed as a stenographer in p. w.
Lawson's office here, arrived in New
port from Baton on the air line eX-
press which vas two hours late and
was met at the station by Miss Drew
and Miss Winsome Jones. The three
proceeded at once to Miss Jones
home where Mrs. Jones had invited
them to have supper. After they had
finished eating Miss Drew suggested
q trip UP to her house and as they
entered Miss Drew's room and tu1E-
cd on the lights Miss Wakeman was
amazed to find IL of her girl chums
seated around the room. After greet
ings had been exchanged Miss Drew
invited the girls down stairs into the
living room where the fun began.
Thirteen alarm clocks had been
concealed throughout the lower part
OF the house and arrangements were
made to have one of the time pieces
ring every ten mninuts. Behind each
clock was a beautiful gift for the
bride-to-be. After this sport vas
completed the girls went into the
dining room where a very fine lunch
con of sandwiches, sailed nuts, cake
and pink ice cream were served. The
color scheme throughout was pink.
The center piece was a table lamp
with a pink shade with streamcrs
coming down from the e~lectrolier to
the corners and sides of the table.
The place cards were a pink rose
and the nuts were in little pink heart
shaped baskets with a keWpie dressed
in maline standing beside the bas-
kets.
Following the party all of the girls
