GIVEN
ON MARRIAGE
Father Finnerty Talks About The Sa-
cred Relationship OF Man And
Wife At Catholic Church.

Father Finnerty held the closest at
tention of his audience last night at
the Catholic Church when he spoke
on the subject of "Matrimony." The
greatness ard sanctity of the bond be-
tween man and wife were extolled.
"This is a great sacrament, but
speak in Christ and in the Church"
Eph. 5:32. Marriage validly contract
ed, no power can break, Father Fin
nerty said. "What therefore, God
joined together let no man put asun-
"God instituted marriage for sac
red and holy purpose" said Father
Finnerty. "His law demands fidelity to
this, and history shows that peoples
love to the sacred bond of unity of
marriage and of the establishment Of
the home with little ones, have pros
pered and have been blessed"
Father Finnerty paid a tribute to
the mothers who when our country's
very life was at stake, gave their stur-
dy and loyal sons to defend Old Glory
One of the great curses of the day, he
pointed out, was the want Of prayer
full consideration for the entrance into
the marriage life.
Tonight at 7:30 there will be lee
ture on a very important subject
which should be our everyday thought

ed, will make its eighth annual meet
ing, to be held in Atlantic City April

man in increasing farm production

relation of labor to production will be
approached from both sides, the en-

group meetings for each of several
great divisions of industry.

RETAIN POLICY
FIXING PRICES
For Wheat. Potatoes And Other Basic
Food Commodities In Germany
Despite Farmers Opposition.
Associated Press

BERLIN, Mar. 1.-THE German
government has decided to retain
throughout the coming harvest year
it's policy of fixing prices for wheat,
potatoes and other basic food COM
modities, despite strong opposition by
the farmers. At the same time it
has announced that the minimum
prices which may be demanded for
these food supplies will be increased
by 100 percent for wheat and 800 per-
cent for potatoes. These advances are
intended as partial concession to
producers, to allow for the reduced
purchasing power of German money
and the increased cost of production
Under the new scale Of minimum
prices wheat is fixed at not less than
1000 marks ton, potatoes at 500
marks a ton, rye 900 marks, barley
and oats 800 marks. This fixing of a
minimum price is a reversal from the
former procedure when maximum
prices were fixed. Producers had op-
posed the maximum price system on
the ground that it failed to provide
for the general increased cost of pro-
duction.
Farmers also vigorously opposed
continuance of the governments pol
icy of fixing prices and vainly at
tempted to have the free trading sys-
tenn restored. The government, act
ing through the Economic Council, in
sisted that the price fixing was nee
essary because the food situation con-
tinues precarious and because Ger
many is obliged to rely upon her own
production until the country is placed
in a better position for buying in for
eign countries.
The government cited as evidence
of probable disastrous results If con-
troll of prices were removed, the fact
that when oats were released for free
trading they sold in the open market
at 4,4OO marks ton while wheat
was fetching 500 marks ton.

PRESENT FIGURES
ARE NOT FINAL
Population Figures Now Being Made
By Census Bureau Are Subject
To Change.

WASHINGTON, March 17-Special
So many inquiries relating to the
Fourteenth Census population figures,
now being made public by the Census
Bureau, have been received from pub
fishers of almanacs, school books at
lases and other publications intended
for permanent records, that Sam L..
Rogers, Director of the Census, has
issued statement pointing out that
the figures now being given out are
but preliminary and are subject to
correction.
"The population figures now being
compiled by the Census Bureau, and
which are being publicly announced as
rapidly as possible, are but prelimin-
ary in their character stated Direc-
tor Rogers.
''Those who intend to print the pop
ulation figures of our cities and towns
in almanacs, school books and other
publications intended for standard or
permanent use should bear this fact
in mind"
FIGURES CERTIFIED TO CON-
GRESS.
"At a later date the Census Bur-
eau will announce from time to time
the final and official population Of
each state, city, town, county, town.
ship, or other minor civil division, and
it is expected that the official popu-
lation of the United States by states
will be promulgated, and thus be rea-
dy for certification to Congress, some
time in October.
"It may well be that the figures
which we are making public at this
time will turn out to be the correct
and official figures for many if not
most of the different subdivisions.
However, l want to call the attention
of everyone ito the fact that the fig
ures we are announcing at this time
are preliminary and are subject to la
ter correction.
"The publisher who prints these
preliminary figures in permanent rec
ords is running the risk of not print
ing the accurate and official results of
the 1920 Census"

explicit faith will be solved in one
way-by finding exact justice and en-
forcing it.
''The republican party" he said,
from it's inception has stood against
undue liberalization of industries and
activities. There must be strong fed
eral regulation, but not government
ownership"
Referring to the American soldiers
in the war with Germany, Mr.. Hays
said:
"The republican party will never
forget the debt we owe to the SOL
diers who have won this war. We
used to hear: Food will win the war,
Liberty Bonds will win the war, thrift
stamps will win the war; They did
not. They all helped to win the war,
but the war was won by the fighting
men at the fighting front, and in no
other way. And the party's appre-
ciation of our soldiers will be remem-
bered.
In closing Mr.. Hays appealed to his
hearers to, "find disloyalty if there
be any in the land and scotch it; find
dishonesty if there be dishonesty and
crush it; find the right and cleave
unto it.
| keep your eyes raised, Americans
but keep your feet on solid ground,
he exclaimed.
sFind the reason for discomfort, and
meet it squarely; correct the cause
where there is cause ,and merciless-
| ly destroy the excuse where it is ar
excuse only. Give every well behav.
ed man and woman their equality o1
opportunity and require from then
their full measure Of accountability.
