 Arkansas lands continue to in- crease in value, the state standing second in percentage of increase in the past decade, according to the United States census bureau. If you have any money it is wise to invest it in Arkansas land, or Arkansas in- dustries.
 Ponzi and his fifty-percent-in- ninety-days scheme didn't last long. It is remarkable how many people are to be deluded by promises of big profits. If victims of Ponzi had invested their money in safe secur- ities they would have had the prin- cipal and fair income, instead of nothing. And their money would have been used to reduce the cost of liv- ing by increased production of de- velopment of resources.
 The "move on ordinance ought to be applied on Saturdays at the northwest corner of Fourth and MainI The Main street sidewalk, at least, should be kept open for traf- fife. It is very disagrecable, partic- ularly for ladies, to have to push their way thru the crowd which as- scmbles at that point.

NEW YORK'S CHARITIES
GREAT SURVEY OF CHARITABLE
FIELD IN EASTERN
DIOCESE.

''In all the age-long history of Cath.
olic charities and social work, no an.
alysis Of so vast field has ever been
attempted" writes DR.. John A. Lapp
in an article contributed to the latest
issue of The Survey, reviewing the
study of Catholic social work in the
Diocese of New York.
DR.. Lapp points out that the New
York Archdiocese maintains social
service institutions and organizations
which run the whole range from the
beWildering problems of the crowded
slums of Manhattan to those Of the
most battling character in isolated dis
trfcts of seven upstate counties.
The material survey shows that
there are 32 children's homes, with
accommodation for 1854 children; 26
hospitals, containing 4,432 beds; 5
homes for the aged, with accommoda-
tions for Lib persons; "a day nurs-
cries, with accommodations for about
1900 children; 21 girls boarding
homes; 35 boys clubs; 100 active con-
ferences of st. Vincent de Paul Soci-
ETY.; 80 auXiliaries of the Ladies of
Charity and 43 parish visitors. Cath

BAN UNCLEAN FILMS
CATHOLICS HELPED TO HAVE
LAW FOR DECENCY
PASSED.

Catholic organizations had con-
spicuous part in the campaign which
has eliminated in the passage of bill
by Congress to include immoral mo-
ton picture films in the category Of
obscene, lewd, lascivious or filthy"
matter or other articles "of indecent
character" forbidden to be imported
into or transported through the Unit
ed States and it's possessions. The
bill has been signed by President Viii.
son.
This amnedment to the reGaral penal
code, which until now contained no
prohibition against the transmission of
indecent films, will enable the agents
of the government to prosecute those
who ship such pictures by express or
any other carrier. The penalty pre-
scribed by the statute is fine Of $5,-
900 or Imprisonment for not exceeding
five years.

GREGOR|AN CONGRESS
CHILDREN WILL BE TRAINED TO
CHANT GREGORIAN MUSIC
CONGRESS FAVORS INSTRUC-
TION IN PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS.

One recommendation embodied in
the resolutions adopted by the Inter-
national Gregorian Congress before
it's closing in New York on June 8,
was that preparatory training be es-
tablished in all parochial schools as
a means of applying congregational
singing as the Holy Sea has urged.
The Congress ended with the SOL
emn pontifical Mass for the feast of
Corpus Christi, procession and ben
ediction in st. Patrick's Cathedral,
which was thronged.
The widespread interest aroused by
the Congress was manifested in the
size and the cosmopolitan complexion
of the audiences at the public discus
sion of Gregorian music in Cathedral
Hall, on Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings. Musicians from all over the
country-many of them non-C Catholics
participated in these discussions.
Mr.. Macauley announced that he had
come all the way from Sydney, Austria
liza, to attend the Congress and take
part in the discussions.
Approval of the object and program
of the Congress was sent by Pope
Benedict through Cardinal Gasparri to
Archbishop Hayes.

FOR THE DEAD
CATHOLIC MAUSOLEUM OF BEAU
TY FOR SAN FRANCISCO.

Rivaling in impressive dignity many
of the most noble structures of the
ancient world, a Catholic Community
Mausoleum will soon be completed in
Holy Cross Cemetery in San Francis
CO, assuring secure and dignified
means of sepulture for the departed
faithful of the archdiocese.
The edifce, which is being construct
ed of steel and concrete, will be dedi-
Gated next September, following the
return of Archbishop Edward ]. Han
ma from Europe.
The interior of the mausoleum will
be of marble and bronze and it will
contain 1850 individual crypts, 1S pri-
vate sections and 4 memorial rooms.
The cost of the edifice will be more
than 100000. It's erection is due to
the inspiration of Archbishop Hanna
and his desire to satisfy the ex-
pressed wishes of many residents of
San Francisco and the immediate vi
cinity for such a reposing place for
the dead.
The mausoleum will be 205 feet in
length, 80 feet in width, and will have
general height of 33 feet, the facade
to be surmounted by a central pylor
rising to a height Of 65 feet.

BISHOP DOUBLEDAY
NEW ENGLISH PRELATE NOTED
CHAMPION OF PAROCHiAL
SCHOOLS.

The See of Brentwood, England,
that was rendered vacant by the death
of the late Mgr. Ward, is to have a
new Bishop, Mgr. Doubleday, who was
preconized by the Holy Father at the
recent semi-public consistory. The
Bishop-elect, who comes from the dio-
cese of Southwark, where he held the
appointment of rector of the Diocesan
Seminary at Wonersch, was for many
wears a strenuous combatant for the
safeguarding of Catholic education
opposing with all his might any inter
ference with the rights of the Catho
lie schools by the London School
Board which in times past was very
much under the dominance OF the ex
treme Protestant sects.
The See of Brentwood, which was
founded by the Holy See in 1917, was
formed by dividing the Archdiocese o.
Westminster. 1t includes within its
borders part of the most crowded
district of industrial East London.

IRISH PRISONERS PRAY
MEMORIAL ROSARlES GIVEN
JAILED MEN-DESCRIPT
OF TOUCHING SCENE.

In everlasting memory of the rosar-
les recited by the people for the liberia

Archbishop of Dublin for "their spir-
itual and temporal welfare" all the
liberated prisoners in the Mater and
Jervis Street and st. Vincent's Hos
pitfalls in Dublin have been presented
with valuable steel rosary beads by
Canon Downing. In making the pres
entation, Canon Downing explained
that they were memorial of the tri-
umphant struggle they were making
for the liberties of their native land.
A vivid description of the recitation
of the rosary outside Wormwood
Scrubs Prison has been given in the
London Daily Herald by Mary Bed

"Then voice said: We are going
to say the Rosary And as the priest
began Our Father, Who art in Heav-

Communicated

On last Tuesday, June 8, Very Rev.
Jeraslaus Cermak of New Prague,
Minn., celebrated the twenty fifth an
niversary of his ordination to the holy
priesthood. Solemn High Mass was
celebrated at 1913 with the Very Rev
erend Jubilarian celebrant. The dea-
con was Rev. Robert Bastyr; subdea-
con, Rev. P. F. Kelly, master of cere-
monies, Rev. Aloysius Ziskovsky.
Dinner and supper were served by
the ladies of the parish societies in
the dining rooms of the parish school,
In the evening an entertainment was
given in honor of Father Cermak.
Father Cermak came to Minnesota
in the fall of 1891 when he entered
st. Thomas (now st. PauD Seminary
for his theological course. He COM
pleted the full classical course, also
a course of philosophy in Bohemia,
graduating with high honors.
He graduated at the st. Paul Theo-
ogical Seminary in June, 1896, and
was ordained priest on June 8 of the
class ordained at the st. Paul Sem.
mary.
Father Cermak's first pastorate was
at Silver Lake, Minnesota. Here he
built substantial parish house and
a fine church. The care of the Polish
parish was in his charge for two years.
About IA years ago he came to New
Prague, succeeding Right Rev. Mgr
ITCHY. He had a big undertaking
before him that would test the ability
and energy of most men.
He was not afraid of work, however,
and he started out to collect for a
new church which was badly needed.
The result is large and ornate struc-
ture, artistically decorated and splen-
didly furnished, that will supply the
needs of the people for years to come
Saint Wenceslaus' Church is one of
the largest parish edifices in the arch
full length of the basement and fully
equipped, serves for weekday serv-
ices during the winter months.
Next he planned a parochial resi-
dence which when completed was said
to be the most up to date and com.
modious priests house in the archdio,
cese.
On visit to the parish Most Rev
Archbishop ireland exclaimed when he
saw the structure complete in every
detail: why, you have built a pal
ace"
Father Cermak next turned his at
tention to building parish school and
parish hail. The splendid modern
school and hall tell of his zeal. Three
hundred and sixty children attend the
school, and the hall can accommodate
a large gathering Of people. The hal
has a fully equipped stage with seen

CHRISTIAN BROTHERS
BROTHERHOOD LOST 400 IN
WORLD WAR-NOW HAVE
HOUSES IN GERMANY.

Nearly 400 Christian Brothers died
in battle or of disease while serving
in the armies or with Red Cross con-
tingents of the various countries en-
gagged in the World War. More than
1000 members of the family of st. De
La Sale were in the conflict. AS Ger
many had excluded the Brothers from
her borders before the war, that coun-
try is not represented in their roll of
honor.
These and other interesting facts
about the Brothers are contained in
the statistics of the order for 1919,
just issued by the mother house.
Since the war the new government
has permitted the Christian Brothers
to return to Germany. Seven schools
have been opened in different German
cities Several of these have been es-
tablished especially for the benefit of
the orphans of the war.

EX-PRES|DENT ELIOT
PRESIDENT OF HAR-
WARD CHAMPIONS PAROcHIAL
SCHOOLS IN DEBATE-TOWNE
BILL HARD HiT-CLAxTON AND
PAROcHIAL SCHOOLS.

Elimination of private schools
would strike fatal blow at tradi.
tional American liberty" President
Emeritus Eliot of Harvard, declared
replying to Prof. Dallas Lore Sharp
Of Boston University, at the recent
annual meeting of the Harvard Teach
ers' Association in Cambridge.
Professor Sharp contended that the
private school tended to perpetuate
class distinction in American life, -
and that it "interfered with the neces-
sary development of public education -
The Smith-Towner Bill, which con-
templates the establishment of Il de-
partment Of education, whose head
should be a member of the President's S
cabinet, and the appropriation Of $780,
100000 annually to assist the public
schools of the several states, was the
at the meeting.
Professor Charles H. Judd of the
University of Chicago criticized GER
tain details of the bill, which was de-
of Teachers College, Columbia Univer-
sity, Professor Strayer declared that
the bill ''as it stands" represents vir-
tual unanimity among educators, but
ignored the fact that many Catholic
authorities are opposing it as a costly
scheme of Capitalization.
The Bureau of Education of the De-
partment of the Interior by which the
report of the Cambridge meeting was
issued has been using it's funds for
the dissemination of propa ganda in be-
half of the Smith-Towner bill. P. P.
ClaXton, Commissioner of Education,
head of the Bureau, holds views very
similar to those expressed by Profess
sOr Sharp. Mr.. ClaXton recently CUES
toned the "Americanism" of narochial
schools. He said that he believed it
would be better for education and for
the country's interests if all schools
were completely under public control.

Canons Regular of the Holy Cross

King William I in that country had
forbidden them to accept novices, the
Order seemed to be doomed to ex-
tinction. Happily the fatal edict was
abrogated by King William II. Since
that time with the help of God the
spark of life, which was left, flared
up again, so that today the Order of
the Holy Cross is making progress
once more.
In Holland and Belgium.
At present the Crosier Fathers have
five monasteries in Holland and Bel
gium together, while a sixth one is
now under construction in Rotterdam
(Holland). They conduct three flour
ishing colleges for the education of
youth.
In Minnesota.
Ten years ago the Crosier Fathers
came to Minnesota, settling in the
diocese Of st. Cloud. They are glad
to think that, with Gods help, they
have been able to do some good, al
though it has been in very humble
and inconspicuous manner. That
which seems to be contemplate in
the eyes of the world, is not always
so contemplate in the eyes of the
omniscient God. Where the Crosier
Fathers came in Minnesota, two new
settlements of Catholics have been
started at Onamia and at Butler,
Mimi. In several other places the
Fathers have rendered assistance.
Next autumn six members will go to
the Uelee district in Congo, Africa,
and others are to follow later.
st. OdiIia.
Remarkable it is, that in the year
1887 a sanity lay brother, called John
de Eppa, living in Paris, was admon-
ished by a threefold apparition of St.
Odilia, virgin and martyr, to travel to
Cologne, there to dig up her relics,
and to bring them to the main con-
vent of the Order at Mount Clair-Lieu.
She told him that God had appointed
her to be the special patroness Of the
Order of the Holy Cross, because dur
ing her life she had loved SO we'll her
Crucified Savior. After a third ap-
partition the Prior could not doubt
any longer about the truth of the ap-
partition. He let the brother go with
his blessing in company of priest.
The relics were really found and
miracles testified to their genuineness.
Since that time the Crosier Fathers
Generate st. Cdiiia, virgin I'D martyr,
companion of st. Ursula, as their
patroness. The feast of the transfer
of her relics is yearly kept with great
solemnity by the Order from July IS
till July 25. In different places, where
monasteries are established, many pill
grims visit the shrine of st. Odilia.
She is specially invoked against eye
troubles, and wonderful cures of quite
recent date are on record
Crosier lndulgences.
In the year 1916 Pope Leo X granted
to the Order of the Holy Cross the
faculty of imparting an Indulgence of
500 days to beads of 5 to Is decades.
This indulgence can be gained as often
as one says devoutly an Our Father
or a Hail Mary, on such a blessed
rosary This Indulgence of 500 days is
commonly called the Crosier indul-
gence (Kreutzherren Ablass). 1t is
applicable to the poor souls in purga
tory.

JUBILEE OF FATHER CERMAK

cry. Various ante-rooms are added
for use of the dramatic club
The next work to be done was to
completely renovate the Sisters home
and improve the grounds. Up to the
present $4,000 has been spent in i'm
provements. At present there are &C
commodations for 16 Sisters. The
parish house, church and school and
Sisters house are heated from the city
power plant.
Father Cermak having finished the
four buildings, now turned his atten-
tlon to beautifying the church grounds.
Today strangers admire the beautiful
shrubbery, the ornate flower beds, and
choice trees and plants which set off
the buildings so well. The parish
property is the beauty spot of New
Prague.
The people of New Prague honor
and respect Father Cermak as a man
of learning, a man of broad views, a
man OF energy, a man simple in his
tastes and gentle withal. He has no
love for idle display or frivolity. He
is the true Catholic priest at all times
ever the true gentleman He has
the respect of those who differ from
him in religious views, as his charity
and love are modelled after ST PauIs,
All things to all men,
Had Father Cermak not possessed
foresight and energy, had he not
urged in season and out of season the
necessity of parish buildings, what an
outlay and expense the parish would
have today? 100000 would hardly
represent what the church property in
New Prague would be valued at now.
One thought cheered him in his ardu-
GUS labOrs, and that was his faith in
his people and their lively devotion
to him.
Many objected to his building pro-
gram, and the buildings were too large
they said, for the size of the then
growing parish. They would build for
the day, but Father Cermak looked
to the future, and today the number
of families is over 500.
They who objected at first are today
the most ardent admirers of Father
Cermak. He buided better than he
knew, for in the high cost of material
and labor it would be impossible to
! do now what has been done.
Father Cermak in his fourteen years
| of labor in the parish of New Prague
has done noble work in a quiet way.
His achievement, however, will be an
inspiration to others in the face of
difficulties. When strangers come to
| the quiet village and wonder how such
noble pile of buildings has been
erected, when they admire the beau
tifully laid out grounds, they will not
| find man to boast of what has been
done, but man of modest mien, and
of simple and retiring disposition.
On this his silver jubilee we wish
| him every blessing. The people of
New Prague owe him a debt of graf
itude. The results of his fourteen
| years of labor are evident. They spell
effort and success. He is the ideal
priest, the patriotic citizen, in a word,
the Christian gentleman, beloved by
all and respected by those who differ
from him or his point of view. Ad
Multos Amos.
