Il earnestly hope and believe that
the Catholic Church will exert every
effort to cooperate effectively in this
great enterprise.
Next to the worship of God no
higher duty lies within the range Of

There is much to link the Ameri-

the Catholic Church, for the one, like
the other, holds that only through the
development of the individual can the
mass, or nation. be developed and made
dignifled, potent, righteous and worthy
of world leadership.
THE Catholic Church and the Con-

Importance of the individual as para

Returned Hero Wears Cheurons Shouting
 Duty We'll Performed

The Newport Daily Indepen- dent of Tuesday contains the following mention of the re- turn from France of a former Oil Trough young man.
 Alex Bunch, one of our Com pany E boys, arrived home last Saturday morning from Camp Pike, where he was mustered out of service. He had just ar rived from France a few days before. The young man is a nephew of A. z. Shipp of the East Side, who has raised the young man, his parents being dead. He is in Oil Trough for a few days visit to old friends. That Alex Bunch has done his full duty can be ascertained by observing his left sleeve upon which he wears chevrons from shoulder to cuff. He has his gold wound star, the stripe de- noting he was a volunteer for service to his country, one showing that he was one of the first one hundred and fifty thousand men sent over and also his Triangle Division insig- mia. Private Bunch sailed for France one year ago the first of next month, was wounded seriously by shrapnel on the head the 18th of July and now carries an ugly scar on the side of his head. He was sent to a hospital and before the opera tion heard the surgeon say he was done for, but fortunately his life was spared and he was almost we'll enough to return to the fighting line when the armistice was signed. It is a pleasure to give a hearty greet ing to such heroes that go out from our home town and re- turn to us, and while we are late in forming this young mans acquaintance, we are proud of his splendid record and welcome him home
