ANSWER TO PRAYER
RELIGIOUS PRAY FOR RELIC OF
TRUE CROSS AND GET 1T.

We have desired and prayed for a
relic Of the True Cross, says Father
Paul James Francis, Of the Society of
the AtOnement, Garrison, n. Y. in the
Lamp. During the Church Unity o.
tave the prayer was answered and the
desire fulfilled A young man from
Philadelphia, who entered our nOvi
tate a few days previously, came and
laid on the Father Minister'S desk a
reliQuary containing three pieces of
the True Cross, arranged so as to form
a cross of themselves, with a docu-
ment dated over d hundred years ago,
attesting under the seal of the Arch
bishop of Paris to the genuineness of
the relic
And how did the young man get it,
you may ask? He found it amid the
des0latiOn and ruins after one of the
battles over in France. He guarded
it as a sacred treasure until he met
the secretary of the present Cardinal
Archbishop Of Paris. who wrote few
words of French on the back Of the
old parchment mentioned above and
babe him keep it.

4 PORTUGUESE CENTRUM
BISHOPS BRING ABOUT ESTAB-
LlSHMENT OF SOLID CATHO-
Lie ORGANIZATION.

The majority of the Catholics of
Portugal are beginning to rouse them
selves from the lethargy which has
enabled the anti-clerical element to
make disastrous onslaughts on Cath
Ollie freedom, particularly since the
hand Of the assassin removed Presi-
dent PaeS.
In strong contrast to the lcthargic
attitude of the lay people. the Portl-
guose Bishops have continually as
serted themselves on behalf Of the
rights of the Church and liberty of
conscience. Having stirred up the
people, the Bishops have brought
about the establishment of a Catholic
centrum. with its own press organ,
The Union
The new Portuguese Centrum is a
strictly religious and Catholic organi-
zatiOn, and vigorously non-pOlitical,
there being in the minds of the Bish-
ops, quite sufficient political organiza-
lions in the country, which are all at
cross purposes with one another, and
it is not their wish to add to the mum
Der. The organization is already
firmly established in the diOCeseS and
in practically every parish there is a
branch of the association. Member
ship of one parish group entails mem
bcrship in any other parish group
which does away with narrow paro
chial feeling in the working Of the
Centrum.
The new organization has sent tel
cgram to the Holy Father pledging its
loyalty to the Holy See, and guaran
teeing the united determination Of the
entire body for the defence Of Cath
Ollie interests.

dictate a strong investment demand
for liberty bonds and victory notes
by the general public. In two in
stances large banks reported that
they were oversold and obliged to
purchase small lots of liberty bonds
from other banks to supply the de-
mand.
The issues in demand, according to
figures supplied the federal reserve
bank, are those paying Az and AZ
per cent interest. Apparently there
is no active market for bonds of the
3R per cent or notes of the 3%
per cent issues.

President Will Be
Mediator Between
Armenia and Turks

Observation-Disclosures Wilson
will accept the invitation of the
league of nations to act as mediator
between the Turkish nationalists and
the Armenians, now engaged in war,
it is believed by officials close to the
administration. Furthermore, the
presidents action will probably be
taken on his own account and with
out previous reference to congress.
1t was stated emphatically at the
state department that the president
has full authority to accept the in
vitation without consultation with
congress. While officials declined to
express an opinion as to whether or
not the president will take up the
task of meditation, the general i'm
preston at the department is he will.
1t is probable that he will do so on
It is probable that he will so so on
condition that he be permitted to
delegate the actual work to some one
of his own selection operating in the
name of the United States. Such an
would have behind it all
the force that the name United States
implies, which is the thing chiefly
desired by the league members.

HAY DEMAND WILL COME LATER

BOISE. - The continued mild
weather and the heavy rains of No
vember are causing grass to grow
green on the range and permitting
sheepmen to run their flocks in the
hills much later than usual, accord
ing to information reaching Boise.
AS a result of the open range
farmers in southern Idaho are ex-
periencing difficulty in selling hay.
The woolgrowers in many sections
have returned their sheep to the hills,
where they are grazing them, 1t is
said, and no attempt is being made
to buy hay for the focks.
The hay market cannot improve
until cold wather forces the sheep
men to commence buying alfalfa and
in the absence of snow on the range
coupled with the abundance of grass,
the indications are that little hay
will move for some time yet.

COME CONTAGIOUS

| Some of the worst diseases are
contagious; some of the best Of hu-
man acts are contagious. There, are
many human acts that ought to be
contagious and, might, become so if
they were, only encouraged little.
The men who get out and harrow
and drag the roads adjacent to their
own farms or between their farms
and station are public benefactors
and when they get out and do this
work free of charge for the benefit of
their sfellowmen and themselves
Jointly, they receive reward in the
happiness it brings to their own con-
seriousness. The joy of service is
what is meant by that billical express
sion thatSsays, ut is more blessed to
give than to receive" .@-
In these days when the county
treasury is i, without funds; when
most of the farm work is caught up
md when teams are in good working
condition but idle; when the roads
are soft and need narrowing and
dragging; these are days when
farmers can afford to be generous in
their contributions to their com
munity
In the case of the man dragging
the roads, there are these sources of
reward he feels the joy of render
ing good service; his neighbors
benefit from it and he gets some
benefits from it himself.
During the war people responded
to all sorts of drives to help. win the
war and felt good about it. This is
a good time to let the spirit of road
dragging become contagious and
every family get a little Of the dis
ease and work it off by dragging the
roads There maybe bridge or cul-
vert that needs a little dirt shoveled
or scraped up to it; there may be
holes in the road that need special
treatment with an irrigating shovel;
there are lots of things that can hap
pen to the roads that require special
attention as a remedy. Almost any
body would rather go out and shovel
a hole full of clay than to see some
body come along and break spring
in it. s,
The man living in town is not
without opportunities. Almost any
of us can get out and find crossing
near our homes that needs to be
shoyeled Off There may be holes
that need to have clay shoveled in
them and the average man working
in an office or store will be just as
we'll off if he gets out these morn
ings and does a few minutes shovel
ing for exercise. Then there will be
the inevitable tonic that goes with
it; the tonic of good cheer that comes
and does something for others.
