K. OF c. SCHOLARSHIP
MINNESOTA MEN AT COLLEGE
VIA x. OF c. SCHOLARSHIP
AWARDS MANY WOMEN EN-
ROLL IN EVENING SCHOOLS.

The final assignment of winners OF
the Knights of Columbus series of
scholarships for the men who served
in the Nations cause during the war
has been completed, and throughout
the country hundreds of veterans of
khaki and navy blue days are now
romping through college and univer-
sity halls. From their headquarters
in New Haven, Conn.,, the Knights
have issued a special pamphlet cover
ing this phase of their reconstruction
work and their report shows that the
following men from this state have
been winners:
University of Minnesota-Walter J.
Cassidy of Eyota; Lawrence w. Hay
ward and Walter l.. Maiser of Mime
apolis; Orner F. Ernster of Brainerd;
Albert J. BarankieWicz and Herbert
A. Edd of Winona; Ralph G. Elliott
and Horace J. Lee of Duluth; Rufus
E. Fritz of st. Paul, Porter E. Har-
der of Minneapolis; Joseph E. Young,
Louis Yurkovetsky and Ingwold Ris-
void of Minneapolis.
College of st. Thomas-Vincent A.
Ryan of Caledonia.
Besides the award of college scholar
ships the Knights of Columbus have
now operating throughout the country
supplementary evening schools which
have a total enrolment of more than
100000 students. In all of the large
cities three to five schools have been
established. More than 10000 men
and women attend the schools in New
York City; and the same progress is
reported elsewhere. Thousands of
women have enrolled under the pro-
vision whereby women who served in
the war with any branch of the serv-
ice are given the same considerations
as the ex-soldier, sailor, marine or
man who served with the merchant
marine.

LETTER TO THE editor
UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR AND
THE BIBLE.
To the Editor:
St. Paul.

To the Editor:
Recently one of the professors al
the Minnesota State University was
"rarin' and tearin' round" asserting
that the Old Testament promulgated
false philosophy, that the story OF
Elijah was a fable" etc., ad nauseam
1t is remarkable that Catholics have
to appear in the arena as defenders
of Holy Scripture against those fol
whom ''The Bible and the Bible alone
is the rule of faith.'
l have therefore written to the edi
tor of the Alumni Weekly the follow
ing protest which may be of interest
to your readers:
Editor Minnesota Alumni Weekly:
Lest the multitude of those who be
lieve firmly in revealed religion
should remain voiceless, l beg leave
to take exception to the views ex
pressed by Prof. P. M. Rarig, of the
Department of Public Speaking, in E
lecture upon the subject of the Sacred
Scriptures, as reported on page
twelve of the minnesota Alumni
Weekly" January 10, 1920. I cannot
agree with the claim that there is any
fallacy in the philosophy set fortl
in the "Old Testament" / respect
fully protest against the allegation
that the story of Elijah is, in any
sense, "a fable"
In common with many citizens O.
the state 1 believe that the Univer-
sity should carefully avoid all forms
of religious teachings. Secular educa
ton in America, conducted by the
state, involves the observance of that
concept. A state institution ought
also, to avoid lending it's platforms
and it's professors to attacks upon re.
ligious beliefs.
I desire to go on record as be
lever in the plenary Divine inspira.
tion of that collection of ancient books
which is known to- the English-speak.

disappearing world as the bible"

DIOCESE OF BISMARCK

Bismarck: Rev. Eugene J. Gehl,
missionary for the deaf of st. Johns
institute, st. Francis, Wis, conducted
a retreat last week for the nurses of
st. Alexius Hospital. His lectures and
instructions were very interesting,
and many useful and important points
in regard to the nursing profession
were discussed.
Father Gehl travels about the coun-
try in the interest of the Catholic
adult deaf, and in behalf of the deaf
children cared for at St. Francis, Wis
This institute, located at the city
limits of Milwaukee, Wis, has an en-
rollment of ninety pupils coming from
all parts of the state, and as the in
stitute is charitable one, it depends
largely upon Father Gehl's missionary
activities. To help support them he
travels about giving missions and re-
treats, specializing in retreats for
nurses.

Brief Reviews and Notices

The Grey Nuns in the Far North: By
Rev. P. Duchaussois, o. M. l. Pub
lished by McClelland & Stewart,
Ltd, Toronto, Canada. One-third
discount to trade.
Books of travel and of exploration
usually furnish considerable interest
to the reader. When the element of
religious adventure is mingled with
the details of description and story
the work becomes most fascinating.
Such is this book, entitled, "The Grey
Nuns In the Far North" Usually the
members of a religious society are
successful in proportion to the degree
in which they carry out the spirit OF
their founders. This historical mono
graph shows conclusively that the
Canadian Sisters of Charity were
most successful, in spite of hardships
and countless trials, because they
sought always and everywhere to car
ry in heart and action the spirit of
their beloved foundress, the Veneer
able Mother d'Youville.
The story of their explorations, OF
their sufferings and their triumphs,
possesses all the thrill of wellwrit-
ten novel. 1t appeals more to the
heart than to the imagination because
it is based upon absolute facts.
Throughout their many years of strug-
gle these heroic Nuns maintained
ever cheerfulness of spirit and a
simple confidence in Divine Provi
dence that deeply impress the reader
There are also many human interest
features scattered throughout the vol
ume, which is, by the way, copiously
illustrated The touching pen por
traits of the angelic child Louis, the
deformed paralytic, of the Montagnais
pupil called Peter, and of little Julia
leave an indelible impression upon the
mind, and a reverence for the holy
women who could thus evolve such
wonderful models of sanctity. Alto
gether, this work is one of the mos
intensely interesting that it has eve
been our good fortune to read Will
regard to the Far North.

Montgomery: A fine program will
be rendered at the Starland theater
on Sunday afternoon, March Z, under
the auspices of the Friends of Irish
Freedom. Two reels of motion pic
lures will be shown, the Starland Or
chestra will furnish music and a fine
address will be delivered on the Irish
question, by Colonel w. H. Donahue,
of Minneapolis. Short addresses will
be given by other speakers of noted
ability.
The local Branch of the Friends of
Irish Freedom is growing rapidly and
it is safe to say that no less than two
hundred names will be signed up be-
fore the March meeting, when people
from far and near are expected to be
on hand to participate in the program,
which promises to be very interesting,
instructive and entertaining.
The manner in which the people
have responded to the call for mem
bership in the local Branch, which is
known by the name of Robert Emmett
Branch of the Friends of Irish Free
dom, is very praiseworthy.

j. S. 5. CASEY
GOOD SHIP NAMED AFTER X. OF
c. BREAKS RECORDS.

The good ship Casey, named in
honor of the Knights of Columbus by
the United States Shipping Board,
broke all records when she was
launched, by having two sponsors
Miss Miriam Flaherty, daughter of
James A. Flaherty, Supreme Knight
of the K. of c., and Mrs. D. H. Smith
of st. Louis. The Casey has broken
another record. She has made the
trip from Brooklyn to Havre in thir-
teen days-the shortest time for a
cargO-carrier. --.:- ~
Word to this effect was cabled to
William J. Mulligan, chairman of the
K. Of G. war activities committee,
last week from Paris, and the cable
added that the knights, to celebrate
the event, were giving Captain R. H.
Mckay and his gallant crew of the
Casey a tour of the European battle.
fields.
When the Casey was launched she
was too eager to get into action-a
failing of the X. of G. secretaries at
the front during the war. She burst
from her bonds, and little Miriam
Flaherty was unable to break the bot
tie of special Hog Island 10 wine on
her nose. But Mrs. Smith of St.
Louis, on board the vessel, hoisted
up the bottle and did the trick as the
Casey slid into the water.
Now the Casey will proudly sail the
seas with the traditions of the noble
work for which she was named be-
hind her, and also her own individual
record of speed with safety in the
face of the stormiest week the At
lantic has had in many moons.

The high cost of living has affected
the fifty Catholic priests of Bishop
Schinner's Diocese in Spokane, Wash,

housing and living expenses of the
priests, which must be supplied by
parishioners. There are only two as.

their pay will be raised to $500. Bishop
Schinner stated that he felt that the
salaries would bear even greater in

USED ANOTHER'S CASH
 TO PAY HIS OWN BILL AND LIEN STILL HOLDS

Frank Stolaroff of Douglas was building house. The contractor was M- Morris. After the payment of Nor ITS for the work, Stolaroff found that tnere was an unpaid lumber bill of 1ASz6, and a lien was attached to the mouse as an unexpected lean ito. (No play upon words intended) Stolaroff opposed the lien on the ground that he mad satisfied the lumber bill when the following developments were made: Morris already owed appellee and the plaintiff in the lien proceedings a bill of $500.
 Stolaroff was unwilling to trust Morris with the amount of money to satisfy the claim for lumber for his building, so he gave a check to a man by the name of Kermer, who went with Morris to the lumber company where Morris putting sufficient money to the check, paid his own bill
 In the proceedings before the supe- rior court of Cochise county judgment was given the lumber company and an appeal was taken. The judgment of the lower court was affirmed, the court holding that the lumber company could not have been sufficiently ap- prised that it was the intention of Stolaroff to pay his bin and had no reason to believe that the check was to be applied to the purpose for which it was applied
 Another matter passed upon was the case of Wright P. ShiIl, appellant. against c. c. Jones and various other persons interested in south side ditch, appel1ees from this county. The appellant claimed to have suffered damages in the sum of $500 because of the breaking of the appeHee's canal to the injury of his lard. A motion was made by the defendants to make the complaint more definite and cer- tain. and the motion was allowed by the court, but the plaintiff declined to comply. and judgment was given against him.
 The supreme court found that the clements of damage to which the plaintiff might be entitled were very Indefinitely and uncertainty stated There was no description of the ares
