THE CZECH TROUBLES

beheld a deputatiOn of clergy set ont
for Rome, there to engineer the aboli-
tlon OF celibacy! But in the midst of
their troubles there appear among
them two American priests of Czech
descent, who speak to them in their
own language, and ask them frankly
what is at the bottom of all the trou-
Bile. How full of faith and religion
this people still is may be shown by
their devotion on the feast of SIS.
Cyril and Methodius, when $4,000 at
tended to offer their prayers. It is
to help this people that Mgr. Bouska
and Father Zlamal have come on their
mission to Prague"
The journal goes on to compare
with evident chagrin the mission to
Rome of SIS. Cyril and Methodius with
that of the recent deputation, and it
says that the Holy Father knows fully
all the circumstances of the case. It
comments further on the sadness and
astonishment with which the Catholic
people heard of the appeal being
made, and of their lack of complete
information as to all the details.
Needless to say, these faithless priests
were severely reprimanded by the
Holy Father, and taken to task bv
their own Bishops and the better
minded clergy. The journal con-
cludes with:
Mons. Bouska spoke before a great
clerical assembly at Prague, when he
expressed his painful astonishment at
finding SO great a dissension among
the Czech clergy, particularly that
such matter should be given i'm
portance when the utmost unity was
necessary. Father Zlamal also spoke
recently at a clerical assembly at
Prerau in Moldavia, when he told
those who were in favor of the aboli-
ton of clerical celibacy that the Cath
olics of America would not, for a sim
gle instant, tolerate in their midst a
married priesthood"

PRINCE OF WALES
FUT URE RULER VISITS ST.
ANNE'S FAMOUS SHRiNE-ALS so
SHOWS GREAT INTEREST IN.
URsULINE CONVENT, QUEBEC.

Despite the report circulated by the
Canadian press that the Prince of
Wales had cancelled his engagement
to go to the shrine of st. Anne de
Beaupre, Quebec, the prince visited
the famous holy place and spent half
an hour there. On the same day he
inspected the Ursuline Convent, Que
bee, and was much interested in it's
work. .,9
This information is given by Phil
adelphia priest, who, with other
priests, was travelling in Canada; on
the day of the princes visit they were
at the shrine. Sir Charles Fitzpat-
rick, Governor of Canada, who ac-
companied the prince to the shrine,
noting the presence of the clergy, in
vited them to join the party in his
private car. The invitation was ac-
cepted, and the Philadelphia priests
were the governors guests, together
with the Prince of Wales. Sir Charles
Fitzpatrick is Catholic @
Refused to Cancel Trip. 5u
Commenting on the newspaper re-
ports that he had cancelled his trip
to the shrine, the young prince said
that it was planned originally that he
should go to the shrine and he would
go no matter what anyone said. His
grandfather, Edward VII, when a
prince, also went to st. Anne's.
The party, arrived at the shrine
about o'clock and was greeted by
the priests there, who gave the prince
and his party warm welcome. The
prince went into the basilica. Later
the Philadelphia priests and the prince
and the governor rode to Quebec by
automobile and afterwards went to the
Ursuline Convent. .f.,
The visit of the prince to the shrine
has. been given little or no secular
newspaper mention, and the impres
lsion has been circulated that he die
lot go.

ATTRACTIVE FEATURES OF
THE GREATER ALAMO SHOWS


The Greater Alamo shows will
open the tented season at Blackfoot
for a seven-day engagement start
ing Saturday, April 10 and includ-
ing Saturday, April 26. There is
nothing old or shabby about the
Greater Alamo shows. This aggrega-
ton has new paraphernalia and new
performers, giving the public a
meritorious outdoor amusement.
There is another reason why 1t
seemed very opportune time for
Messrs. Waugh and Hofer to perfect
an entirely new organization for the
season Of 1919, they have contracted
and closed with the great northern
Pacific circuit of fairs to furnish all
the attractions on the pleasure trails
Of those fairs.
The stipulations Of these contracts
were rigid, but Messrs. Waugh and
Hofer, after putting out fortune in
expense and energy have succeeded
in fulfilling every requirement, with
the result that today the Greater
Alamo shows will be the prime feat
ure attraction of the northern Pacific
fairs, and this attraction may now be
seen right here in Blackfeot. adv. I

ARMY CUSTOM
| AT HOME

One good old army custom is with
us. Blackfoot will police up" it's
streets, yards and alleys on Wednes-
day, April 16, and the merchants
will close up their stores for the
afternoon. Weeds will be burned
rocks and leaves picked up and rub
bish done away with. Then there
will be an inspection, by civic Of
ficers, and if a premises is not in
good clean shape, the sereant of the
police will see that it is cleaned up
at the owners expense.
The difference between an army
camp and town is not only a mat
ter of architecture, but a matter of
cleanliness. A town may clean up
once a year, or not at all, at it's own
pleasure, but an army camp must
be kept clean at all times, and
there are inspections every day, OF
one sort or another.
Clean surroundings will influence
personal cleanliness. When you
enter clean house you instinctively
brush the dust from your clothes
And dirt and rubbish means sickness
even when they are hidden away In
the back yard or the cellar.

France, Nov. %, 1911;
Dear dad:

Dear dad:
This is the first letter that l have
written to you in years. Seems that
| always have only enough dope for
one letter, and it was sort of right
to send it to mother. However, this
is Fathers Day in the A. E. F. and
we all promised to write letter to
dad. So here goes.
Do you know, l think the Old
Gents back home instigated the
whole affair for the purpose of re-
| ceiving at least one letter from the
boys over here. Guess it was rather
tough to have to depend on the
ladies to drop a few hints of the
news such as they felt willing to
hand out. A kind of crawling to
pick up the crumbs dropped by the
chosen few. OF course we never
thought OF it in that light, so don't
blame you bit for starting a little
propaganda in your own favor.
Things have been going just fine
with me, dad. Lots of fun mixed in
with our work, and lots of interest
ing work too.
1t seems the joke is on the folks
| back home. Understand that you
celebrated the armistice several days
before it was signed. To give you
the dope straight it was signed at
5 o'clock in the morning of Novem-
Der IL. OF course, didn't hand the
kaiser the pen or anything like that.
But you can bank on this being the
straight dope. l didn't fire the last
shot, either. But it was fired at
1859 the same morning.
Dad, our friends sure did spoil
this country plenty. You can't
imagine just what it is like unless
you could see it yourself. An acre
or two of holes in the ground and a
sign with the name of the village
is about all there is left of many
Our friends sure didn't play the
game square, dad, and | sort of
feel ashamed of them. You know
just like you would feel if your
friend were caught cheating at
pinochle at the club after you in
troduced him as a good fellow.
used to try to find excuses to offer
myself for him, but I'm thru with
him. dad. He's bum fellow, this
Fritz. Not at all like he used to be
some thirty-five years ago. Guess
all the good ones came to America
in 1900 and that's why Germany
went to the bum. No good fellows
left to run her.
l never told you dad, but l sure
felt proud of you back in IT when
l came home after being in the army
six months without your knowing it.
Didn't know just how you would
take it. But you sure were tickled
to death after the first surprise of
seeing me back in the United States.
Guess you were sort of afraid that
and the rest would sort of leave
you in the lurch as the Dutch father
Of bunch of bum Americans. Guess
now we didn't take the wind out of
the sails Of some Of those birds who
thought they were Yankees and
called us Dutchies. 1t sure made
me laugh to see some of EN- digging
for wives and the shipyards when
the draft came around.
Well, dad, la guerre est finne, and
we are all coming back home toot
sweet (French for $50 bait vie
moglich".) Well have good old
fashioned blowout when we all get
together, and hope you will see to
it that we don't have to drink ice
water, either.

Had Flexible
Money Then

AS the Union army won and estab-
lished the credit of the government,
as finances adjusted themselves to
the conditions and the promise of
the government to pay came to be
accepted at par, money that was
worth IS cents rose to the value of
100 cents, or to put it conversely,
property that was worth $1.OO, de-
clined until it was worth only 35
cents. The merchant with thou
sand dollars worth of goods that
were bought on the war basis, found
the same goods worth only $3.50
after the adjustment If it was mer-
chandise that he was selling out of
every day he had a chance to save
himself from part of the loss, but
II it was real estate and he kept it,
he had to stand the shrinkage.
1t was not until the year 1873
that the adjustment became COM
plete, when specie payment was
placed side by side with currency,
and then came the showdown as the
panic of '73, when final adjustments
arranged themselves.
Money Not Flexible
Now
In the adjustment that must fol-
low the world war, paper money was
not one of the problems. Interest
bearing bonds have been sold, and
they become due at different times,
SO the great day of adjustment is
wiped out of the consideration
Bonds are good, safe investment,
and while they may sell on the mar
ket somewhat below par, they will
be held as money or almost it's equi-
valent and prices will not come
down rapidly due to the condition of
the country's finances.
All Prices More
Stable
The law of supply and demand will
not permit prices to come down
rapidly, because of the dearth of
goods of all kinds in the world, and
the great amount of money and
credits belonging to all the nations.
Any Of them can buy goods and all
OF them are in need of practically all
kinds of goods and wares At the
close of the Civil war the world was
carrying almost a normal supply of
all kinds of goods excepting cotton.
The money issued by the southern
confederacy was worth nothing, and
the money issued by the north had
to adapt itself to the victories. While
that was going on, the wares of the
world were seeking a market in
America, and especially in the north
where there was money. The great
prairie states were being put under
cultivation, there was an excess of
food products and it is no wonder
there was panic.
Developing Greater
Markets
In the present after-war adjust
ments, it seems that all the big fun
damentals are on the side of stability
and a slow decline of prices from
their present high levels. If all the
energies of the nation were con-
centrated in manufacturing goods
for sale, the decline of prices would
be more rapid, but owing to the
great amount being directed to i'm
provements such as road building
and reclamation, that element of
danger is made more remote. For
every job Of bodybuilding, some
machinery has to be built. For
every reclamation project, much
goods and machinery must be built.
For every new home made on q re-
clamation project, new goods must
be manufactured, 80 the increased
consumption will be enormous, and
will act as safety valve.

THE MPROBABILITY
OF HARD TIMES

At the darkest hours of the Civil
war, the paper money issued by the
United States government was worth
only IS cents on the dollar. 1t took
a dollars worth of paper money to
buy 35 cents worth of goods or
property.
