LEARN LOYALTY FROM CATH

I'VE may differ from the Catholics,

built up the finest ecclesiastic organi-
cation the world has ever seen. We
should profit by the methods of others.
IF You save the young, you will solve
the problems of the next twenty years
and as goes America, SO goes the
world. If they stumble and fall, the
Church should lift them up and point
TO high ideals We should reach out
and save the young.
I'VE may learn loyalty from our
Catholic, friends. Have you noticed
the loyalty of the average Catholic?

civilian life. That loyalty to the

BACK TO THE PRIMITIVE.

One of the greatest disasters that
the war brought to the mission of
I5areme, Tanganyika, East Africa,
was the loss of its dairy and fine
herd of COWS. Not less than four
hundred and fifty animals grazed on
the rich pasture lands and the making
Of butter and cheese was an industry
that brought the mission considerable
income.
Father C. L. Avon, w. F., who sends
this report, adds that a severe earth
Quake shook that part of Africa not
long ago and did much damage to mis-
sion property In fact the priests had
barely time to escape with their lives
from falling bricks and timbers. A
considerable sum will be needed tc
repair the houses.

CATHOLICS IN CHINA.

From time TO time statistics are
published giving the number of Cath
olics IN China. The Lazarist Fathers
of Che Kiang have compiled these
figures for 1919, and they state that
there are today in China 1,992,241
Catholics. This represents a gain
of 39,41S during 1919, which is, how
ever, little more than one-third OF
the ordinary increase.
No province reports an increase OF
more than four European laborers
while the majority OF the fifty-one
provinces can report no increase
Whatever. This, however, is partly
compensated for by the increase in
native priests and students. Fifty-one
native priests were ordained, while
the number Of seminarians increased
by fifty, the classical students by
ninety-three.

Land Sinks Thirty Feet,

Pat Monaghan was over from
Usage Tuesday on a little business
deal and during his conversation
with the editor remarked that there
had been an earthquake on his farm
near Usage one day last week.
Much of the ground over there is
supported by a rock foundation hav-
ing large creyices. A low, marshy
spot o Pats farm drained into one
OF these crevices which probably led
to large cave. One day last week
the marshy spot. about 80 feet
square, sank to depth of twenty
feet square, presumed that a rock
ledge gave way and the earth sur
face above fell into the cave. Pat
