ct is always fun to see other peo-
pie have fun said Jane, bravely.
The day came bright and hot, and
Jane went in her heavy, well-brushed
dress. She gave up all idea of fun"
for herself, and set to work to help
the others find it. On the cars she
busted herself in finding seats for the
little girls and helping the servants
with the baskets of provisions. On
the ground she started games for the
children, ran to lay the table, and
brought water for the older women

to applaud "a good ball." she laughed

man, beckoned to his superintendent
There is one girl here whose

Such things appeal to the fighting

Opportunity for Clergy. Do
There never was a greater opportu-
nifty for the American clergy than
there is at the present moment, but
the opportunity is not in the Red
Cross nor in the Y. NJ. G. A. nor in
the KNIGHTS of Columbus as much as
it is in the army itself. 1t is easier

of the soldiers than it is for the char.

comparison between the work of Cath

within the limits of truth when | say
that as a class they have not made

Whether the fault is with the mental
makeup of the average Protestant

overseas service, or whether these
men are handicapped by their uniform
and the kind of work they have to do,
or whether it is a little of both, / do

SUCCESS OF THE JAPANESE MIS-
SION IN CALIFORNIA.

The new home Of the japanese Sis
ters in Los Angeles, has just been ded-
icated by Bishop Cantwell and marks
z step in the progress made by the
workers for the Japanese in Califor-
Ma
1t is now nearly four years since the
Japanese Catholic Mission was estab-
lished in Los Angeles, and during that
time one hundred and twenty Japan
csc, mostly converts, have been re-
ceiyed into the Church.
The Japanese children, though
born in this country, are placed in cir
cumstances most unfavOrable for the
development of Christian and Ameri.
can ideals. Their parents, being in
America but not Of it, cannot give
them the genuine American education
The school is the channel through
which the good Catholic Sisters-some
americans, some Japanese-reach
these little souls and teach them re
Iigion and the customs of our civil
cation.

Boys and girls who are good Amer

the best Americans have always
obeyed. -
The first law is the Law of Health
The good American tries to gain
and to keep perfect health.
The welfare of our country depends
upon those who try to be physically
fit for their daily work. Therefore:

me.

One of the institutions asking help
in educating native priests is the
APOSTOLIC School at .JTrakami, near Ma
gasaki, Japan 1t was founded by the
Brothers of Mary whose aim is the
formation of religious, catechists,
Christian teachers, and, at least, bet
ter informed Catholics, who will LEND
a precious aid to the conversion of
Japan.
There are now fifty-seven youths in
the school. The expenses, which in
crease with the development of the es-
tabIishment, are betrayed by Catholic
charity.
1t is urgent to win over to the Faith
first the more powerful and progress

their neighbors for good or evil and
once converted will become their apos-
ties.

ate between a proper solicitude and
worry. One ought to be solicitops
that he does his full duty in the so
luton of any problem of life. This
should not go to the worry station,
for no train ever gets out of that sta

right, for otherwise we become indif-
ferent to some of the most sacred OBJ

calmly selicitous is evidence of keen

DEER HUNTING NOT
THIS CO.
CUSTER FOREST RANGERS WILL
ENFORCE LAWS PROTECTING
THE FEW REMAINING DEER

Whether or not deer may he killed
within the boundaries of Powder,
River county, is much discussed
question with the hunters in that
county, according to j. C. Whitman.
supervisor of the Custer National
forest. Because of the fact that the
1920 game license does not mention
Powder River county in the list of
counties in which deer hunting is
restricted, hunters have contended
that it is within the law to shoot the
animals. Deer huning in Custer
county has been restricted for some
time, owing to the scarcity Of the
animals.
Since practically all of the hunt
ing territory in Powder River county
lies within the Custer National for
est. the question becomes an import
alt enc for the forest service as The
RANGERS must enforce the game laws
Supervisor Whitman communicated
with j. l.. De Hart, state game war;
den. regarding the matter. and his
reply was that deer hunting in Pow
der River county was not licensed by
law. Since the opening of the big
game season. it is understood that IL
censes have been sold in Broadus
with the understanding that deer
could he hunted. Supervisor Whit
ham has advised officials in BroadHs
and all the forest rangers Of the
state game warden's S decision in the
batter and it now is certain that the
Law will be enforced The forest
service is very anxious to save what
few deer are left in the reserve. =
said Mr.. Whitman, ''and this is the
main reason why the question was
brought to the attention of Warden
