Catholics Told
Watch Y. M. G.. A,

Rome. Dec. 23.-The holy office
issued a decree today asking Cath
olic bishops to watch IAN organ
ization which, while processing
absolute freedom of thought in re-
ligiouk matters, instills indiffer-
ence and apostasy TO rne Catholic
religion in the minds of its adher-
ents."
The decree mentions the Young
Mems Christian association by
name. saying it is upheld by many
Catholics who do NOT know its zeal
nature. The decree says the organ
ization corrupts the faith of
youths.
Clauses of the canon law which
forbid papers. periodicals and or
ganizations favoring religious rad
icalism and indifferentism are re-
called in the decree. which re-
quests the bishops to communicate
with the Holy See within six
the decisions taken on the
subject at regional congresses.

CHEESE OUTPUT Low;
PRICES IN ASCENSION
Receipts at Country Warehouses
Dwindle-Dealers Hope Rains
Will Speed Milk Flow.

Cheese is "mitey" and will prevail
eventually.
But right now even the "mitiest"
of cheese is prevailing but little.
Cheese may be as strong, or even
stronger than before. individually,
but the market is weak.
Even the all powerful limburser
isn't strong enough to fnd a market.
And so 1t reeks its vengeance on the
storage piants-and reeks and reeks.
And while the cheese vapors rise,
so DO the prices.
Production Is tagging because OF q
reduced milk flow-sweet milk won't
consent to be made into malodorous
cheese this year--and because COM
petition has taken away the supply
for other purposes. "Cheeseries" are
fndina II increasingly difficult this
year to compete with creameries and
condensaries. Receipts of cheese at
country warehouses have been in
creasingly light since the middle Of
July. but dealers hope the abundant
rains since will have tendency to
increase production by Improving the
pasture lands.
Receipts at distribution markets
for the week just passed were some
.3sb. 900 pounds lighter than the
previous week and approximately IA
600 600 pounds less since the first of
the year than during the same period
in 1919.

anticipated little difficulty In caring

whatever measures they deem neces-
sary to handle any overflow OF stu
dents.
"I do not believe the problem OF

principal knows how he or she is
a large enrolment. u
"I have asked the principals to solve
the problem Of congestion themselves
However, am here at my office to
give advice wherever necessary.
From time to time, after school
opening, will visit the various
schools and study the situation.

admittanco in Washington will be
cared for"
Principals OF many OF the grade
schools are contemplating halliday

done in several OF the high schools.
