Women's Federation
Convenes In Texas
BY MADELAINE WILSON
U. P. Special Correspondent


San Antonio, Tex, May %.
(U.P.)-The 10Th biennial con-
vention of the General Fedora
ton of Women's clubs opened
here today with : approximately
5000 women from every state in
the Union and from several for
eign and territorial countries in
attendance.
Rhode Island delegates came
virtually the entire way by wa
ter, making port at Galveston.
A resolution condemning "wet"
candidates for national offices Is
expected to- be introduced early
in the convention. Since the fed
Grafton is strongly non-partisan
and has a policy against taking
active part in politics, it is not
likely any certain candidate will
be condemned or approved. 81
The program of the eight de-
partments has been built about
this theme, "The Fine. Art of
Living Making the Federation
Function In Daily Life" Esnsien
clubs, better equipped homes and
illiteracy surveys are to be en-
phasized at the daily sessions.

Memory Honored
By Marker At His Birthplace

: The house in which Mccormick
perfected the reaper is a little
wooden shack which presents a
very picturesque appearance. The
marker which has been unveiled
to- him is but stones throw from
the house. The weather-beaten,
old house and the marker near it,
surrounded by grassy and wooded
lands, form a romantic memorial
to the man who has meant so
much to agriculture.
Cyrus H. Mccormick was born
right on the farm where the mark
er now stands, in 1909. He COM
pleted the first practical reaper
at this same location, in 1881,
when he was but % years of age.
The introduction of the reaper
worked wonders in the efficiency
of farmers. At first many rallied
against the use Of the reaper,
preferring to go on doing things
in the old-fashioned manner. But
gradually this opposition was dis
PEELED, and the reaper became a
standard machine used every
where.
It has saved time and energy
for thousands of farm workers.
The young boy who in 1881 pre-
sented the fruit of his labors to
the world did the world a service
that will never be forgotten. The
ceremonies at which his son and
grandson and over a thousand
others paid tribute to his momory
were appropriate and touching.

Ancient Relics Found By Ditch Digging Gang
BISHOP CERCKE AND BISHOPS
or SONORA, S|NALOA, TO TAKE
PART IN CORNERSTONE LAYING

With bishops and priests pres
snt from various parts of the
Southwest, and the west coast of
Mexico, the cornerstone for the
aew Catholic church will be laid
tomorrow afternoon.
The beautiful new church,
costing many thousand of dollars,
is being erected on the former
site of tie old church on Arroyo
Boulevard.
Among out of town bishops
who will be here for the corner
stone laying are Right Rev. Da-
niel J. Gercke, D. D., Bishop of
Tucson, and the Bishops of So
nora and Sinaloa.
Rev. Father Duval, head of the
local church, stated yesterday that
a copy of today's issue of the No
gales International will be placed
in the stone to go down to the
coming ages and be read in a
hundred Cor few hundred years)
from now.
Relative to history of the local
church, and events leading up to
the present building program,
Father Duval has sent the follow
ing communication to The In
ternational for publication:
"Up to 1887, missionaries may
have come once in awhile, but we
Nogales international., 1928-05-29

!, have no records.
"Tn 1887 the Rev. Father Dodge
began to come on regular visits
from the town of Tombstone; that
s:me year 1t was decided by the
town administration that half Of
this hill would be for the church
and the othe,' nalf Tor the school
(clear titles to the property were
given a few years after during
Overton's administrator -.
"Then Father Dodge built the
first church.
For some years the church of
Nogales was attended by priests
coming from Tucson, namely:
Father Delly; Father Freri who,
from here, went to work on the
Propagation of the Faith and died
Bishop; Father H. Granjon who
died Bishop of Tucson; Father j.
Gheldof; under Father Gheldof
the seat of the parish was tran
sferred from Tombstone to No
gales and the parish began to
take true form; then Father
Meurer, whom many remember
to this day; he died at Bisbee.
'In 1905 came the actual pastor
of the parish, Father l.. Duval,
now the Right Rev. Monsignor
Duval (having been made one Of
the Pope's Domestic Prelates) ;
Mgr. Duval has been in Nogales
ever since 1905, with the excep-
ton of the years of the great
war, when his place was occupied
by Rev. Father G.. Van Goethem
and Father Mateo Deyrieux. Dur
/ ing his administration the Sisters
of Mercy were called to Nogales
| in 1906 to establish and take care
of the st. Joseph's Hospital; in
1910 the little church built by
Father Dodge was remodeled and
enlarged and the Sacred Heart
parochial school was built and
given to the care of the Dominican
sisters from Adrian, Mich, who
passed it after few years to the
Sisters Of Mercy. -. And, now,
the church, too small for the steady
increasing congregation, has been
torn down few months ago and
this large, beautiful church is
being built.
"The corner stone will be laid
Wednesday, the 30th, in the after
noon, by the Right Rev. Daniel
J. Gercke, D. d., Bishop of Tue
son, assisted by large number Of
priests, being present the Bishops
of Sonora and Sinaloa.
Everybody is invited and will
be welcome to the ceremony"
