SIGNAL HONOR
TOREV.FRICON
Is ANNOUNCED
Local Priest to Head Catholic
Mission to France to
Bless Graves

Reverend Father Jean Il. Frigon, rec
tor Of the Sacred Heart Church, has been
delegated by the National Catholic Coun-
ell to head a committee of Catholic
priests which is going to the battle
fields of Europe to bless with proper
solemnity the graves Of American
Catholic heroes, it was announced in
Brownsville today.
The war department at Washington
has given its sanction to this patriotic
and religious mission, and also has
granted authorization to have a cross
incised upon the monument of every
Catholic soldier, as requested by Cathol-
ic mothers. There are still thousands
of Catholic boys whose bodies have re-
mained lover there" in the American
cemeteries of Europe.
Father Frigon will leave for Washing
ton Sunday, and expects to sail for
France from New York the latter part
of July. The trip will require about
three months. after which he will re-
turn to Brownsville.
A parshioner Of Father Frigon's, who
made the announcement Of the honor
that has been extended the Brownsville
priest. said today:
"Of course, all our glorious dead,
without any exception, will be remem-
bered at every function solemely con-
Quoted in connection with this tribute
of grateful and loving remembrance.
They were all equally loyal and val
liant American lads; and now they are
all equally deserving Of praise and glory.
However, the Catholic church wants
10 have the graves of her own spiritual
children solemcly consecrated, accord
ing to her ritual. which is perfectly leg
itimate. And she wants the ceremony
performed by an American priest, a
former war chaplain. which is also very
proper. The choice made of Father
Frigon to lead the committee is quite a
recognition Of the merits and qualiii-
cations Of the reverend father. although
his modesty will not acknowledge the
fact. Ii also is a district compliment to
the citizenry Of Brownsville.
I'VE sincerely congratulate his rev
erence and wish him a safe and pleas
ant journey abroad. and the greatest
success in the fulfillment of his beauti-
full mission"

FIRST CITRUS
SCHOOL COMES
TO END TODAY
Speakers Declare it Success
And Announce That it
Will be Repeated

With today's program the Citrus Fruit
school here will come to an end, and
all who attended il are convinced that
the school was a decided success. ac-
cording TO those in charge of the school.
An equally large number were present
this morning M the last Of the series Of
lectures, and at the demonstration this
afternoon, a large number were pres
ent.
Professor X. X. Reppert. entomologist,
extension service, A. and Nj. College
presided and also delivered the first
talk of the day on The Control Of In
sects in the Citrus Grove" lie said
that no official experimental data had
been obtained for this part of the
country and that the result and recon.
mendaticns Of experimental stations at
other places would have to be taken.
Different conditions here might make
the application Of recommendations
from other places dangerous when used
on broad scale, said the speaker, and
FOR this reason there should be an eX-
perimental station here if for no other.
The next speaker, A. y. Tandy Of
Brownsville talked 10 the school on the
preparation of products for fair dis
play. Paul +. Phipps, president of the
Valley Fair Association, talked on THE
Citrus Fruit for the Valley Fair" Miss
Myrtle Lovelace also gave a short ad-
dress on the Valley Fair, as she will con-
duct demonstration in the fair. TO DC
held in Harlingcn on December II, -,
and IA.
This afternoon at the high school
another demonstration was conducted
by Miss Lovelace, using cullcd citrus
fruit as the material. Preserves, jel-
lies marmaladcS and soft drinks were
made and demonstrated.
For the afternoon session, Prof. Rep
pert conducted spraying demonstra-
tion at the orchard Of Or. W. A. Wilson
on the concrete highway, beyond West
Brownsville. Methods Of spraying for
the various kinds of scale and insects
which attack the trees and fruit were
shown, along with the kinds Of solu-
tions 10 be used. The force spraycr
mounted on truck was donated for the
use of the school by "A local merchant.
Prof. Reppert said that the school was
decided success, aud that il would
in all probabilities be held again next
year. He also declared that he would
like to conduct demonstrations here be-
fore that time and believed that he
would be able to DO 90. lie emphasiz-
ed the great need Of an experimental
station here, since conditions here are
so diSsimilar TO other places having ex-
! perimental stations and the same data
cannot be applied to both districts.
