abundance of sunshine In their living

This need of young pigs has been
thoroughly recognized by modern farm
building architects. and they have de-
signed buildings that will keep the
pigs and their mothers warm, allow
them plenty of fresh air without
drafts. and mt the same time admit the
lie and heaItt-giving sunlight.
How this is accomplished is shown
by the building in the accompanying
Illustration. This frame structure. 81

crete floor. The floor enables the

that half that is next the outside
walls of the building. Is covered with
planks, raised an inch or so from the
concrete. This permits a circulation
of air underneath the planks. on
which the. bedding is placed. and pre-
vents the pigs from coming in contact
with the cold, damp concrete.
But the most essential feature Of
this building Is the windows in the
walls and roof. These windows are
so located that every bit of sunlight
available in February and March has
access to the pens. killing the disease

CATHOLICS IN TERRITORY 10
 BOOST PAPER

Beginning an active campaign to place "A Catholic Paper in Every Catholic Home" the month of April will be Press Month throughout the territory of Alaska
 The drive to increase the circula- Gion of the Catholic Northwest Prog ness, official organ or the northwest, was recently started in every town of the territory and splendid results have already been submitted
 BISHOP CRIMoNT PRAISES WORK
 His lordship, Right Reverend Bishop Crimont, has heartily endorsed the campaign and is making every effort toward it's success. His lordship re- gently issued a pastoral letter to all Catholics in Alaska, dwelling on the importance of this movement and re- questing the assistance and support of the clergy in bringing a Catholic newspaper to the people of the north.
 Bishop Crimont laid special stress on the duty of each pastor to place before his parish for consideration the fact that never before have so many important moral and religious problems been uppermost in the minds of the American people. That the questions intimately concerned with the family, the home, the sacred ness of marriage, the relation of labor and capital, the teaching of proper ideals concerning American citizen ship, the opposition to pagan ideas of state control of education, and many other all-important questions, can only be solved by true states manship based upon Christian prin- strument for teaching and promulga- 4iOn of Christian ideals can be found 4han the Catholic press.
 PASTORS COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN
 The local pastor of each parish 1n the territory is the chair man for his parish and lay workers will form committees to work directly under his supervision. Loyal Catholics have pledged their assistance and the drive will be- carried into the far northern districts, where there are no churches and the few inhabitants have limited means of keeping in touch with the church. 1t is expected that by the end of the month every Catholic family in the territory will be a subscriber to this paper. Beginning April s, the re- turns from Alaska will be published each week in the Progress.
 ACTION OF OFFICIALS
 The campaign is the result of &C., GiOn taken by the archbishOps and bishops of the Catholic church, who in annual conference assembled, Sep Gember, 1920 voted unanimously iu favor of a resolution calling upon the clergy and laity of the United States to unite in a great, organized national movement on behalf of the Catholic press.
 The organization of this movement was left to the department of press and publicity of the national Catholic welfare council, which is composed of the Hierarchy of the Catholic church in the United States, under whose leadership and inspiration the many and highly diversified Catholic organizations and forces of the coun- try are being nationally unified.
