After long years of loving service
on behalf OF the Master, Brother
Maurelian, one of the spiritual sons
of st. Jean Baptiste de la Sale, lies
at St. Joseph's hospital, waiting pa
tiently beside the Western Gate for
the magic hour when he. too, shall
join the choir invisible. His last
hours are frightened by loving min
istrations of younger brothers OF the
order he has served so long and SO
well.
Brother Maurelian was born in
Lancaster, Pa, in 1912; entered the
Order of Brothers of Christian School
in 1856 and spent his novitiate in
Montreal. His first charge was st.
Peters school in Philadelphia. He
was there nearly three years. and
then was transferred to st. James
pro cathedral, Brooklyn, where he
stayed the same length of time, go
ing from there to New Orleans,
where he spent II years at St.~vln-
cents Academy and st. Mary's Col.
lege. In 1863 he was made head OF
st. Johns school, consisting OF 24y
boys. He remained there until 1871,
when he and Brother Anthony came
to Memphis and opened the college
here, where with the exception or
short intervals, he has been ever
since. Brother Anthony spent 20
years in Memphis, dying four years
ago in st. Louis.
MANY noted men owe their school
ing to Brother Maurelian, among
them: . Ex-Gov Patterson. Thomas
r. Boyle, Frankk L. Monteverde,
Walter c. Flower, mayor of New Or
leans; Chas. A. O'Neill, associate JUS

himself slightly on his bed; brushing

eyes. "I had a stroke of paralysis

The difference between the selling

ture, $3.50, is $4O.72 to $47.0O
upon inns OASIS 1t appears that the
cottonseed mills can pay from $4,000
to $45.00 per ton for seed, but
should the above prices per pound
for products decline, the mills will
have to drop below $4,000 ton.
1t is recommended that at any price
below $500 per ton for seed and
with fertilizers selling at the prices
named above the farmer use his
seed for fertilizer, unless he can ex-
change them equitably for cottonseed
meal. In making these comparisons
no account is taken of the varying
cost Of hauling and handling seed
and fertilizers, which each farmer
must determine for himself.
