GAScONY LEARNS FOLLY OF
"ONLY SON" FAMILY POLICY.

The lowering of the birth rate and
the dangers of voluntary birth restric-
ton In France are a matter Of just
concern to all those who are seriously
interested in the future of the country
One object is formulated every.
where under different forms: is it rea-
sonable, is it possible, in view of the
economic difficulties of the present
day, to found family and support a
large number of children? "God bless
es large families but He does not feed
them" the advocates of birth restric-
ton say ironically.
That large family is something of
a burden to the workman in the city Is
fact which it would be difficult to
refute, but in certain districts of
France, the peasants, too, have adopted
the policy of the only child, believing,
in this way, that they will guarantee
him a better future.
The Peasant Soul.
DR.. Labat, a physician of the PROV
ince of Gascony, published q series of
studies in the Revue Des Deux Mondes
during the war. These studies, which
have since appeared in book form
under the title Lame Paysanne"
(The Peasant Soul give a touching
picture of the passing of the Gascon
race whose bourgeois and peasants are
content with an only son.
There is no more fertile region in
France than Gascony, the country wa
tered by the Garonne, where the fields
of golden wheat and maize and the
green pastures alternate with vine
yards and orchards. Life in that re-
gion is easy and gay, but the race is
voluntarily sterile. 1t is the land of
the only son.
But the war came and the only son
did not return.
And now the local papers, and the
bulletin of the Ministry of Agriculture
which contains each month lists of
properties for sale, contain hundreds
Of notices of properties in Gascony,
offered for less than 10000 and even
10000 francs for from 20 to 80 hectares
of land, buildings, improvements and
all farm implements. And yet these
properties cannot find local buyer.
The peasants, tired>of working now
that they have no child to whom they
can leave the results of their labors,
seek only to rid themselves of bur-
den which has become too heavy fol-
them alone.
For tho last two wars uhn1o foyn
lilies with their children have been
coming down from the mountains of
the LoZere and the Aveyron to settle
in the sunny, abandoned plain.
God Also Feeds Them.
And more recently, in fact just a
few weeks ago, forty families headed
by the President of their Syndical
Union left Brittany to occupy a whole
canton of the Department of Dordogne.
Others are founding colony in the
Department of the Gers. With their
sons and daughters they will take up
the work abandoned by the peasants
of Gascony, those peasants who doubt
less thought they were very clever in
practicing the policy of the single child
and probably said with the others !:
Eyes, yes, God blesses large families,
but He does not feed them"
And behold, the large families have
now come, and God is feeding them in
the very country, in the very houses
and from the very fields of those who
| lacked confidence in Him!

ing the chalice, he says, with the
greatest confidence, MAY the Blood
of our Lord Jesus Christ preserve my
soul unto life everlasting" The Lord
indeed promised that, "He that drink
eth my Blood hath life everlasting"
(John, vi, 55) And, indeed, 1.-The
Blood of Christ, Who by the Holy
Ghost offered Himself unspotted unto
God. shall cleanse our conscience from
dead works, to serve the living God"
(Hebr. ix,, IA; and thus we trust to
reach heaven through the Blood of
Christ, Who, "by His own Blood en-
tered once into the HOLES, having OBJ
tanned the eternal redemption" HEIR.
Iiy. 12.)
Then the people who are to re-
ceive Holy Communion go up to the
sanctuary railing; the acolyte or serv.
er recites the Confiteor, and during
the Confiteor the priest takes from
the tabernacle the ciborium or vessel
containing the Blessed Sacrament, and
placing it upon the corporal, he makes
a genuflection, and turning to those
about to receive Communion, he says,
May the Almighty God have mercy
on you, forgive you your sins, and
bring you to everlasting life And
signing them with the sign of the
cross. he says, May the Almighty and
Merciful Lord grant you pardon, abso-
luton and the remission of your sins. .
Then raising particle of the Bless
ed Sacrament for the people to adore,
he says, Behold the Lamb of God,
behold Him Who taketh away the sins
of the world and then he repeats
three times, Lord, / am not worthy
that Thou sbouldst enter under my
roof, say but the word and my soul
shall be healed" Then the priest de-
scends the steps of the altar and ad.
ministers Holy Communion, saying.
as each one receives, May the body
of our Lord Jesus Christ preserve
your soul unto life everlasting"
The Addition.
When all have received Holy Com
munion, the priest returns to the. al
tar, has wine poured into the chalice
to collect with it any drop of the Eu-
charistic Blood that might have re.
manned in it, in this manner to save
1t from proclamation. Afterwards, TAX
ing the ablution, he says, Grant, o
Lord. that what we have taken with
our mouth, we may receive with a
pure mind; that of a temporal gift,
it may become to us an eternal rem
edy."
Further to purify the chalice, the
priest has wine and water poured into
the chalice: Before taking the Sec
ond ablution. he says, May Thy Body,
o Lord, which l have received, and
Thy Blood, which I have drunk, cleave
to my spirit; and grant that no stain
of sin remain in me, who have been
fed with this pure and holy Sacra-
sn1eTlt. Who Invest and reignest for
ever and ever. Amen"

PRE.PATRiCIAN SAINTS IN IRE
LAND.

1t is now accepted by the foremost
scholars that the Christian religion
was known and practiced in Ireland
before the coming Of st. Patrick. Brit
ish soldiers who had served in Pal
estine probably carried the story of
the tragedy of Calvary and the Resur-
rection and Ascension of Christ to
Britain, from which it was not slow
in reaching Ireland. In the third cen.
fury, scattered communities of be
levers were to be met with along
the eastern coasts of Ireland. The
little band of missionaries who had
planted the faith in Ireland are usu-
ally styled "the pre-Patrician apos-
tles," as they preceded st. Patrick
and in the latter part of their careers
labored conformity with him. They
were: IS. Ibar, Kieran, Declan and
Ailbe. In the Irish Ecclesiastical
Record" opp. 374-3S3), Mr.. J. B. Cul.
len devotes a paper to st. Ibar.
st. Thar was born Of noble family
in the latter half of the fourth CEN
fury, in the province of Ulster. He
studied in one of the Druid colleges
which were then the chief centers
of culture in Ireland. In early man.
hood, he crossed over to Brittany.
Later, he visited Rome, where he be-
came converted to the Christian faith.
At Lerins, he is said to have met st.
Kieran and also st. Patrick. He re-
turned as a priest to his native land
and with some companions establish
ed the first community of religious on
Begerin Island, where he had a con-
vent of $50 monks. Begerin was one
of the Arran group of islands and is
now united with the mainland. St.
Ibar's apostolic labors extended prob
ably to what is now the County Of
Wexford. Numerous miracles, proph-
ecies and legends are associated with
his memory. After his death, the
monastery of st. Thar 0atin: Iberi-
u.s., continued to flourish for almost
400 years. 1t was one of the first
of the religious settlements along the
east coast of Ireland that suffered
from the invasions of the Danes. Its
famous library was totally destroyed
by the vandals in $40. For ages, how
ever, Begerin continued to be re-
garded as a sacred spot by the people
Of the surrounding districts, who were
accustomed to make frequent pilgrim
ages to the grave Of Its holy founder.

the best of it, to endure insult and
unfairness for this last game, for Len
nox would certainly be scratched
from the schedule the next year.
Now, Father Joseph, the aged rec
tor of ST.. Bona's and author of the
recent mandate, was revered and
loved by every student and alumnns
of the institution. He was first and
foremost lover of boys, and perhaps
his principal failing was q tenderness
towards them which occasionally rem.
dered him oblivious to their pranks
and faults. He could see good in the
worst offender and not infrequently
he made the disciplinarian fret over
a lax execution of some merited num-
ishment.
For once, however, a rule seemed TO
have been made that was void Of
Father Joseph's accustomed kindli-
ness. It was indeed harsh enough In
permit the bitterest criticism. Not
that their beloved president was the
object Of such remarks, not at all, but
an ostrich can hide his head in the
sand, and so could these boys cleverly
distinguish between the law and its
maker.
why not go along with the boys,
and encourage them?'
Why not be present if aid is needed
in repelling rough tactics?"
Why cannot we forestall abusive
treatment by sending an especially
large delegation along?"
These and other complaints came
indirectly to Father Joseph, but the
ruling was adamant. Only Father
Thomas Leahy could accompany the
team to Lennox, and furthermore, lie

An old woman in a white cap sat
in niche where the fire shone mild
ly on her to warm her old frame.
Granny, as we all called her, had a
wonderful occupation. She was a sort
of university faculty in the neighbor-
hood; only she was a profounder fount
of wisdom than that implies, for she
had gotten most of her information,
not out Of books, but out of the hard
school of experience, and she had
learned by her failures and her sue
cesses.
She had been the mother of four
teen, and unlike most mothers of two
and three, she did not feel that she
knew all that was possible to know
about rearing children.
One day, asked what the chief
attribute of all was in the rearing of
children, and she answered, pa
tience. Patience not to interfere
with the processes of nature; patience
to learn from your children instead, of
trying to teach them all the while;
patience to let them be children in.

tience to let unavoidable events take
their course; patience not to cross
bridges before you get to them"

mothers duties and on the duties OF
those of us who presume to advise
mothers. We are all of us too prone
to demand action, something to do,
and too unwilling to believe in the
real need of some profound knowl-
edge OF children. It is only after this

SOCIAL EVENTS

Mrs. Herman Ketz of the town of
Washington was made pleasantly
aware of her birthday at the home of
her daughter Mrs. Roy Mayo in Eagle
River, on Sunday afternoon. A large
eumber of friends of the family drop
ped in to express their best wishes
and number of hours were spent
enjoying a musical program and
afterwards taking part in games Of a
nature that required skill in quick
answers and movements. Mrs. Anna
Erwin was easily the champion win
ner and Rev Krubsack captured the
prize for being the poorest guesser
in the contests. Refreshments were
served followed by six o'clock din
ner and after that the guests remain
ed and spent the evening similarly to
the afternoon. AS bedtime approached
they departed for home wishing that
Mrs. Ketz will see many more happy
days of that same kind.

WE WERE LUCKY

While Mondays north bound train
was one and a half hours late, the
fact was not greatly condemned as it
brought nearly weeks accumula-
ton of mail and daily papers which
enabled people to get posted up on
the results of the storm Of last We'd
nesday, Thursday and Friday, Informal
ton having been very vague up to
that time. The Review went to press
that evening and was mailed Tuesday
morning four days late, something
never encountered before Conditions
are rapidly approaching the normal
stage in this section but Judging from
the newspaper reports it will be
many weeks before all damage is re-
paired in the lower part of the state.
One of the greatest losses reported
and one that will be felt severely in
MANY places is the ruin and destruc-
ton Of fine shade trees that had been
the pride of the residents and which
will take many years to recover
from.

TO LIBRARY PATRONS.

The Eagle River Public Library
which for the past few years has been
located at Miss Richmond's millinery
store under the auspices of the
Woman's Club, has a reading public
of about 200 members. These mem
bers have had full usage Of all the
books with no expense whatever, Eek
cepting for the sum of one cent a
day for the newest books installed,
until they are paid for; also for fines
if any are overdrawn. Miss Richmond
has been acting as librarian for a
very small sum for which, together
with the purchase of new books yearly
the Woman's Club has been RESPONSE
BILE.
However, owing to extra expenses
which have arisen, the members of
the club feel that the public, which
derives the most good from the libra
ry, should share in the expenses of its
maintenance.
Therefore beginning with the 1st
of March each family that wishes to
draw books from the library are ask
ed to deposit SOC per year with the
librarian for this privilege. ***

WHAT MAKES TT?

The following from the pen of
John ~Dooley appearing in The Fen
nimore Times of recent issue is
sound logic, and contains so many
good points that are applicable to
all cities Hartford not excepted
that we reprint same here.
What makes a town.? asks Mr..
Dooley Is it the wealth evidenced
by fine store buildings and beautiful
homes? They may attest to the abil-
ity and thrift of certain people, but
they offer no great inducements to
moral and commercial progress. Is
it the spirit of good order and rigid
law observance? That is factor
only-the sleepiest old hamlets that
dot the map have that spirit in album
dance
Is it, the schools and churches?
May their number ever increase, but
they don't, make a toWn-they only
culture it. Is it the geographical To-
cation, the character of the surround
ing country, the shipping facilities,
the natural advantages? None of
these are essentials.
Well, what is it that makes
town, anyway? Just one thing the
unity of the people, the existence of
common bond which causes bust
ness and social enemies to put aside
all differences when it comes to boost
ing a town.
"No town ever made progress on
the road to substantial success with
out the get-together spirit unani-
mously adopted. 1t has rejuvenated
old hulks of towns that were yawning
their way into endless sleep. 1t has
infused new life and made thriving
cities out of paralytic villages.
Natural advantages count for
much and prosperity cannot be build
ed upon shifting sand, but any town
with half a chance can be made to
grow and thrive when its citizens
discard the selfish T spirit and join
with one accord in the boosting PRO-
gram Hartford Times.

THE FIRST NATIONAL
Began Business March LIST AS
National Bank and Is A
Member of the Federal
Reserve

The State Bank Of Eagle River, an
institution founded over thirty years
ago by the late. A. Mckenzie and Fred
Morey, which for many years was the
only banking house for a large Sec
ton and which operated successfully
until its recent purchase by A. H.
STANCE and e. w. Ellis, was notified
this week that it's application for a
charter to do business as a. First Ma
tional Bank had been granted. In the
reorganization an increase of capital
from $4,000 to $4,000 was made with
a surplus fund Of $4,000. Several local
business men were taken in as stock
holders although the controlling in
terest is held by Messrs STANCE and
Ellis. 1t will be quite distinction for
Eagle River to be known as first
national bank town, the nearest ones
previously having been at Rhinelander
and Amigo. With this bank, and the
Farmers & Merchants bank, also cap
italized at $4,000 and having deposits
in excess Of Sa5O,0UU, the banking
facilities Of Eagle River will be equal
to those of towns much larger. Villas
county now has three banks, the third
one starting last fall at Phelps and
which has done very satisfactory
business in the short time it has been
running, showing that the people Of
that vicinity fully appreciate the con
venience of a home town bank.

Hayward's Philosophy
e. F. Hayward, Conover Wis.
SELF RELIANCE

SELF RELIANCE
admire the man who has enough
spine
To do his own thinking and choosing;
To one of this kind, there's ninety and
nine
Whom anothers ideas are using;
Dependent on others for judgment to
act,
Accepting as truth what others may
say,
Taking for granted it must be fact,
Swallow it down, and go on his way;
There's another kind, tho in no wise
new,
Who never trusts to his own dull mind
He brings his troubles and worries to
you,
Asks your advice, and then goes it
blind;
1 like the man who has good common
sense,
And decides for himself, what is best;
Who knows when to stop, and where
to commence,
He is worth ninety-nine of the rest.
