SUSTAIN THE MISSIONS BY AIMS.

Here is an extract from the impOr-
tant letter addressed to the faithful
by the Holy Father in November last.
1t relates to the need of supporting
the apostles and their work.
Emissions demand resources, today
more than ever in face of the dis
asters caused by the war, when
schools, hospitals and other free in
situations were destroyed or left with
out support We ask all to be as gen
erous as their means permit. He
that hath the substance of this world,
and shall see his brother in need, and
shall shut up his bowels from him:
how doth the charity of God abide in
him. John iii. ~. SO said the
Apostle st. John regarding those who
suffer material want. And where the
missions are concerned the precept Of
charity takes on an even more sacred
character; not only are countless
number of poor people to be relieved
of privation, but rescued from the
proud tyranny of the demon and made
free children of Cod"

SPAIN TO HAVE A FOREIGN MIS-.
SION SEMINARY.

The next decade should see a
splendid number of young apostles
launched into the mission field. there
to combat time-worn heresies and SUI
perstitions. Falsities and ignorance

who are now gathering their forces
in almost every civilized country, and

CARING FOR ORPHANS.

Pastors OF Protestant churches of
Memphis and the tri-states seem to be
overlooking a most important condi-
ton of their Christian endeavor-the
lack of a dire necessity in that they
have no schools and church homes"
for orphaned and destitute children.
There are many semi-orphaned chill
dren of worthy but needy parents
especially now since the awful war
widows who are forced by circum-
stances to work ''out" for themselves
and children to have even the neces-
stiles of life. How can they do that
with no one to care for the Riddles
during the day, or the night, or both,
as their duties may require. This ap-
plies to the fathers difficulties as we'll
if he be the surviving parent. Then
what about the lone children robbed
of both parents?
Note those Catholic Churches.

HARD TO SATISFY.

Father Halder, of Borneo, Oceanica,
knows something about hardships. He
writes:

ing of Give us this day our daily
bread for we are forced to live from
day to day trusting in the Sacred
Heart of Our Lord to care for us. We
certainly do not live eXtravagantly!

HOME AGAIN..

This year I write to my friends
from my second fatherland-I call
Gallipoli my adopted country because
I am so much attached to it on ac-
count of the many conversions l have
made here among both Greeks and
Armenians"
Thus happily writes Father Gayraud
Superior of the Assumptionists at
Gallipoli, and he goes on to say other
hopeful things about his part of Tur-
key in Europe.
II came back to my mission two
months ago, finding my house empty
and much damaged, but | have made
the most necessary repairs and opened
the school room, closed for, five years.
"On account of lack of missionaries,
| am alone for the present, but | ex-
pect help before long to enable me to
care for the spiritual needs of my
Latin, Greek and Armenian parish
toner's. Fortunately have found again
most of these scattered and perse-
cuted people.
Half of the city was destroyed by
the heavy bombardment and by fire
and many of the surrounding villages
are entirely wiped out. But the atti-
tude of the people toward Catholicism
is more favorable than ever and
whatever aims are distributed bring
in great results. We made ourselves
greatly beloved by the relief we gave
at the time of the earthquake in 1912,
and during the Balkan war. How
happy | would be and how much good
| could do if a like sum were now
placed at my disposal, but now | have
only one door at which to knock for

tSTEvAN IS BOOZE
HEADQUARTERS

Regina, Sask. Tho little town
OF Estevan in the southeast corner
of Saskatchewan has developed into
the headquarters for illicit liquor
traffic with the northwestern states.
Day after day the streets are lined
with parked cars, bearing license
plates OF every state in the Union.
The authority for this statement is
Assistant Commissioner Tracy of the
Saskatchewan Provincial Police,
who has just returned from tour
Of investigation into conditions
there
"The business Of running cargoes
OF rum across this border to the
American side has assumed such
colossal proportions that hundreds
of people are devoting their entire
time to. the traffic and they are lit
orally amassing fortunes" said Mr..
Tracy. A round trip between Min
neapolis and Estevan is worth
S25O0 clear to the operator Of a big
car.
"All along the international
boundary OF the Canadian side are
located export liquor houses and
these are particularly thick in Este
van, which has become the head
quarters for the traffic. Under
present laws and existing condi-
tions, it is e. physlcaI lmpossibilty
to keep any check on ther stocks,
and they are able to cater to the Il
legal trade with comparatively little
risk of being caught. Once the
booty is across the line the car
drivers consider themselves and
their stock safe from any interfer-
ence. i i
Not only are the rum runners en-
gagged in this lucrative traffic, but
they are preying on one another,
and condition of lawlessness pre-
walls along the border which is ap-
palling. A few nights ago a car
containing four men from Minnea-
polls was forced into a ditch one
mile from the border by another car
stalled across the road. The con-
tents were rapidly transferred from
one/car to the other and the night
raiders made successful escape.

B0WBE[LS SCHOOLS START
MONDAY, !, SEPTEMBER IS

The Bowbells Public Schools will
open Monday, September 13 to take
up the regular years work. There
this year in high school, and it is
expected that the enrolment VIII
be larger than it has ever been be-
FORE Already several country peo-
pie have made arrangements for
homes for their children so they
may attend school, "a
The most important step Of pro-
gress for the school is it's admission
under the Smith-Hughes Federal
Act for Vocational instruction in AZ
riculture and Home Economics
Through the provisions of this AT,
by the school meeting certain ye-
quirements, half the salary OF tie
instructors in Home Economies and
Agriculture will be paid by the FED
eral government. These courses
will be among the most practical
courses in the school. Girls who
wish to take the Home Economics
course will spend half the day with
academic subjects and the other
half in vocational study-a course
which will take up all the practical
experiences OF real home maker.
The instructor engaged for this de
partment is Miss Pauline Holl, u q
graduate OF the North Dakota Agri-
cultural College: The Agricultural
department will operate the: same
for boys as the Home Economics
department for girls. Boys will
spend only half day with regular
high school subjects and the other
half in Vocational training in iAgri-
culture. Among other things to
make the. course a practical one,
boys will take up projects in live
stock later in the school year and
learn by actual experience what be
fore has been attempted to be
taught from books alone.
AS only very Jew schools in the
state were accepted to enter under
the Smith-Hughes act this year, 1t
seems very fortunate that Bowbells
should be one of those few. It will
mean more advantages for the farm
boy and farm girl with very little
added expense to the community.
The commercial department,
which was introduced last year and
proved so popular, will be enlarged
this year. adding another a.s; years
work in shorthand and typewriting
so that pupils finishing this two
years course will be fully qualified
for stenographic positions. There is
no reason why it should be neces-
sary for Commercial schools at Far
6 or elsewhere should be called
upon to furnish stenographers for
local professional or business offices
when it is possible to furnish even
better trained pupils from the local

second people will be sent to Diff
ferent offices in the city for practi-
cal experience, and it is hoped that
the business and professional men
in Bowbells who have use for such
help will cooperate heartily with
the school authorities.
Parents are urged to have their
children enroll the first day Of
school, even though it may be me-
cessary for them to be kept at home
some through the fall, as in High
School some classes will be formed
upon a basis of the demand for
same. In the grades the compul-
sorry attendance law will be enforced
this year quite rigidly and all pu
pills who have not completed the
eighth grade and are not more than
seventeen years Of age must attend
school until that branch OF their ed
ucation is finished.
A few more teachers will be en-
ployed this year than heretofore,
and as there will in all probability
be a large number of pupils from
the country. housing Accommodations
in the city will be taxed to the full
est capacity. For the best inter-
ests of the school and community
it will therefore behoove every FAM
lily who has a spare room they can
possibly rent to do so. All such
rooms, unless previous arrangements
have already been made, should De

The wheel of the truck crossed the
child's stomach and she died al
most instantly. Mrs. Bennett, who
was in the yard of the Bennett
home nearby witnessed the accident
and says, that the driver Of the ice
truck was not at all at fault. Ac-
cording to- Mrs. Bennett the ice

Kubanka wheat is Outyielding

bushels per acre in Cass county ac-
cording to threshing figures receiv--
