DO YOU KNOW?

In Maine the other day, the
Supreme Court of the State
handed down a decision to the
effect that even if a driver does
not know of the presence of any
one behind him, he is guilty of
criminal negligence unless he
makes an effort TO ascertain
whether another vehicle is a
short distance behind him, or un-
less he gives a warning or signal
in sufficient time to make pos
sible prevention of accident.
Such effort at observation and
such warning are considered
merely reasonable prudence"
by the Court.

CHRISTMAS PACKAGES.

Every year many Christmas
packages ale lost in the mail due
to carelessness by the senders
in addressing, wrapping and etc.
Following are some very good
suggestions to follow in sending
your holiday packages:
Always write name of address
see and return of the sender on
the container as well as on the
wrapper so that if wrapper is
lost the address can be found on
the container.
Do not depend on tags as ad-
dress cards only, as they become
dets ched very easily.
Always endeavor to write ad-
dresses in ink, as pencil addre. s.
es become illegible with repeated
handling.
Money or anything of value
should be sent registered or in
sured.
Do not place dependence on
special delivery as protection
against loss or personal delivery
to addressee. Special delivery
expedites delivery. Any regis
tered or insured mail may also
have special delivery service, if
desired.
In sending packages of fragile
mail it would lie advis" BILE to con-
suit postoffice employees as to
packing same as this may avoid
contention and delay at time of
mailing.
Do not attempt to guess at re
puired posta ge but have package
weighed by postoffice employees
end right postage ascertained.
Articles other than first class
mail will rot 90 forward unless
p0stage is fully prepaid. Always
put on return address.
During the holiday rush be
sure to procure your receipts for
mail registered or insured as
these receipts are very essential
in case of loss or damage.

BISHOP CORMAN
ORDA|NS PRIEST
HOLY ORDERS CONFERRED
ON REV. FIR. MICHAEL
BAUMGARTNER.

Wednesday, December 3, the
feast of the Immaculate Concep-
ton of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
feast observed by all Catholics,
will stand unique in the history
OF our community, since this day
brought to us the exceptional
privilege of seeing a member OF
St. MichaePs Monastery raised
to the rank of the priesthood in
st. Mary's church. The joyful
news had caused an enormous
confluence of visitors from near
and far, and the church was
crowded to capacity to witness
the sacred rites of the Sacra-
ment of Holy Orders as institut-
ed by Christ and observed by the
Roman Catholic church.
At 10 a. m. the Rt. Rev.
Bishop Daniel M. German enter
ed the sanctuary surrounded by
numerous assistants to confer In
virtue of his apostolic authority
on FIR. Michael Baumgartner, o.
S. B. the office and dignity of a
priest of God. After the prelate
having assumed the pontifical
vestments and icing seated at
the altar the candidate prostrat-
ed in the sanctuary before him
in solemn prayers. Then follow
ed the most impressive moment,
when the bishop and all of the
priests present imposed their
hands in deepest silence upon the
candidate, thus comforting to
him the sacerdol powers which
were sealed by the Immediately
following consecration of his
hands with holy Chrisam by the
Bishop. This ceremony being
finished the new priest was vest
ed with the robes of his new
dignity and handed the sacred
utensils of his office; paten and
chalice. From the same mo-
ment the newly ordained priest
joined the bishop in reading the
holy mass. Towards the end of
the holy service the power of
forgiving sins was added to
those of teacher, guide and medi-
ator of Gods people. This part
being closed, the bishop con-
graduated the new priest as well
as the congregation to the great
event, expressing his hopes that
this ordination would prove SO
fruitful that many others would
follow it at st. Mary's church.
The prelate than gave those pre-
sent the Papal Blessing, followed
bv FIR. Michael who also eXercis-
ed his newly received powers in
blessing the greet assembly for
the first time. The other priests
participating in the holy SER
vices were Philip, o. S. B, Baer-
locher, Martin. Boniface. James,
and Willibrord. Space forbids
to pay due tribute to the beauti-
full decorations of the altar, and
the exquisite rendering of the
sacred songs by st. Mary's
choir. We take the liberty of
joining the Rt. Rev. Bishop in
his congratulations to the newly
ordained Father and wish him a
successful career "Ad multos
Amos"

ENGLISH SPEECH FOR WORL D
Belgian Professor Favors Its Adoption
as Language of all
Nations.

Observation-Disclosures would undoubt-
eddy be the most suitable as a world
language, in the opinion of Professor
Carney of Louvain university, Bel
GUM.
He made this statement in the form
of reply to the question addressed
by the Northern Peace society to
prominent finguists in various coun-
tries as TO which language would be
best adapted to universal USE
After declaring in favor of English
NJ. Carney wrote
THE German and French languages
have lost their place through the war.
The English language is a hospitab.e
one, being kind of compromise be-
tween the Latin and Germanic
tongues: also it is simple and is spok-
en- by most progressive nations of the
world, and has one of the most beauti-
full literatures of modern times"

MY VALENTINE

AS my thoughts upon this day incline
Toward the fashioning of valentine,

A girl who is dressed in overals.

Who's always present" when duty calls
Who never thinks of to shirk,
But tackles the job in oyeralls
When the broke out all know,

When brothers were battling at the front
And brayely facing the rifle-balls
She ready to do her little
And climbed right into her overalls
An honor and credit her race,
She trips through life with charming grace,
Distributing sunshine the way
No hardship daunts-no fear appals-
No timorous doubt may sway,
The heart of the girl in overalls.
Where does she live this fair?
All the country, everywhere;
From the Hudson clear to the Golden Gate
From the Sunny South to the North, where falls
The heavy snow when the billiards. mate
You'll find her there in her overas
There will many queen of fashion pray
kind remembrance this day,
AS arrayed in silks and satins
She sits in a cage with gilded walls
But the queen who gets this valentine
Is the girl who is clad in overas
So while choosing valentine Il
The girl in the overalls is mne
And when meet, wherever we're at

With great respect I'll raise my hat,
To the really girl in the overals.
