Salters Depot, June 21.-Season-
able weather with occasional show
ers have been very beneficial to the
growing crops throughout this Sec

Corn has made a marked improve
ment, and the present outlook is for a
good crop with continued favorable
weather The oat crop, with few
exceptions, is the finest in several
years. Tobacco is growing fast and
prospects are good; worms are re-
ported to be bad. The cotton crop is
promising and with favorable sea-

SATURDAY, MARCH Is, l92O

Much has been done, and Is even
now being done, to obviate this diff
ficulty. Not the least of these 10
the effort put forth by the HER
archy in their recent conference at
Washington to awaken the faithful
to their obligations and opportuni-
ties. Now as heretofore, one in be-
lief, the church seeks a similar
unity in activity The National
Catholic Welfare Council Is the me-
dunn through which 1t seeks to ac-
complish this object here In Amer
lea. Born of the necessity for CO
ordinating the varied and scattered
efforts OF Catholics, that same ne
cessity makes its continuance i'm
peratiye. ''In unity there is
strength" When individual Catho-
lies have fully assimilated the mean
ing of this axiom and have thrown
off the inertia and inactivity that
has hobbled their wills, we can ex-
pect to see the return of true peace
and tranquility to this troubled
world. And only then.

WORTHY CAUSE.

The cause of ireland makee a
powerful appeal to the heart OF
every man, who appreciates liberty
and Justice; of every man, who
hates tyranny and oppression; of
every man, who admires transcend
emit perseverance in patriotism under
inexpressible persecution, declares
the Catholic Telegraph. After CEN
turtles of foreign domination, the
people Of the Emerald Isle at last
found a way to protest to the world,
in an unmistakable manner, against
the longer continuance of the In
vader upon her sacred soil. They
voted for and established the Irish
Republic. That the election was in
eontestably fair is proved by the fact
that It was held with the machinery
Of the British Government. The
World War was fought to establish
forever the right of nations, small
as we'll as large, to determine their
own form of government. Ireland
demands freedom to exercise that
right. She ought to have 1t.

RETURN OF LEADER.

Herbert AsQuith's return to the
House OF Commons is, in its way,
an event of no little Importance,
since It gives to the Liberal party
the element of leadership which It
has lacked since Lloyd George be-
trayed his party and went over to
the reactionaries Asquith believed
in Dominion home rule for Ireland
and would have drawn the home
rule bill (now on the statute books)
on Dominion lines, but was over
ruled by his supporters, including
Lloyd George. He has not changed
in this respect. but II anything has
gone a step farther. for in his cam
paign speeches he insisted again and
again that ''self-determination"
should be applied in Ireland, and
that Ireland's case was worse
case than that of the Poles, Czecho-
sIavs. Jugoslavs, or the Baltic
provinces.

IRISH WEATHER SIGNS.

Moonlight nights have the heav-

The higher the clouds the finer
the weather.
The farther the sight the nearer

When stars flicker in a dark
background rain or snow follows
soon.
Expect a strong wind with stormy
weather when smoke from CHM
neys hangs near the ground.
Here are a few in verse. They
have the advantage of being easily
remembered:
Clear moon, frost soon.
Year of snow, fruit will grow.
Rain before seven, fine before
eleven.
The wind in the west suits every.
one best.
If the sun set In grey, the next

1t may not be amiss to Enform

Fish voter is determined to support
only those who have proven their
devotion to American principles and

THE GREAT PHYSICIAN.

She will die" said the famous doc
tor,
AS the Nurse came down the
ward;
But the poor, weak patient heard
him
And clutched life's breaking chord.
She thought of the ones who needed
Her counsel and help and care,
And out from her heart she breathed
A pitiful; silent prayer.
Dear Sacred Heart of Jesus!
You have never failed me yet:
You have helped me carry bravely
All the crosses l have met;
You have sent me strength and pa
thence
In each hour of pain and strife,
But this morn, o Heart of Mercy,
1 am pleading for my life.
There are little ones who need me
In cottage far away,
They are calling Mother. Mother!'
Looking down the road today.
Give me time to guide their foot
steps
On the path that leads to You,
opdIb my lie. " t1edIl Oh jesus
There is work for me to do"
From that moment strength came
swiftly
To the poor, p&haIssted Frame -
And the mother soon was speeding
To the ones who called her name,
And each evening by the fireside
Tears of love and Joy will start.
AS she sings to them the praises
OF the Saviour's Sacred Heart.

supreme. There is nothing in this
grotesque arrangement even family
suggesting the Canadian system, I'M
der which the election of parlia-
ment and therefore the choice of a
ministry is always determined by
the majority of the Canadian cleo
torate. The obstacle to the applica-
ton of the home rule principle in
Ireland since Gladstone brought in
his first measure of that character
has always been the opposition of
four counties in Ulster. 1t remains
to be seen whether that obstacle can
be removed by the expedient of
new legislature, to sit in the north
OF Ireland. But even II it can, the
great majority of the Irish people,
in their present temper, will not
acquiesce in the compromise.

THEY HAVE FLED.

The much advertised "Ulster del
egstion," consisting OF Honorable
Billy Coote and his seven Belfast
preachers, who we're supposed to set
the United States on fire against the
cause of Irish independence, have
suddenly left America for Ireland.
Coote and his Protestant ministerial
troop of performers didn't address
one public meeting in the United
States. They got no public recep-
lions. All their meetings we're held
in Protestant churches and in each
case the pastor who invited them to
speak was either Belfast Orange
man, a Scotchman or an English
man. Their last meeting was held
In New York, where they spoke at
the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian
church to a small congregation.
They had been invited by the re-
Gently imported pastor. Rev. John
Kelman, OF Edinburgh, Scotland.
Presided over by DR.. Kelman, the
Orange-Loyalist bunch passed a res
olution against the recognition Of
ireland by "our" Government, with
an allen In the chair. So they
folded their tents" and quietly de-
parted from New York for Belfast.
Challenged to public debate every
where they went by Rev. DR..
Mythen, Lindsay Crawford and
others of the Protestant Friends of
ireland, the bigots fled, finding out
that the coil of the American Re-
public had no welcome for them or
no sympathy with their views.
