Bishop Wehrle to Celebrate Sunday
50th Anniversary Of His Ordination

Richardson, N. D.. April 49,
R-Blshop Vincent Wehrle Of
the Bismarck diocese will be hon.
ored here Sunday on the 50th an
niversary Of his priesthood In the
Roman Catholic church.
Old friends and dignitaries Of
the church will be here for the
celebration at Assumption Abbey.
Bishop Wehrle was ordained In
Switzerland in 1882 and came to
America, offering his services to
the then struggling Benedictine
community Of New Subjaco In
Arkansas. His health later ne
cessitated a change and he went
to st. Meinrads Abbey. Indiana,
and while doing parochial work
there attracted the attention Of
Bishop Martin Marty, who was in
charge Of the newly formed vicar
late Apostolic Of the two Dakotas.
With an old buggy, or by sleigh,
he crossed and re-crossed hum
dreds Of miles, but became con-
vinced that he would not accom-
plish his aim single handed. He
resolved to lay the foundation for
q monastic community In the
midst OF this vast missionary ter
ritory, and established q monas-
terry, st. Calls, at Devils Lake,
the first unit being built In 1893.
At the urgent request OF Bis
hop Stanley, Prior Vincent de-
cided to make 4 second foundation

for a religious community and,
under permission granted by
Rome In 1902, Richardton was
selected as the site.
The town consisted of 10 sod
houses when It was chosen, but
under the guidance of Prior Vim
cent 1t grew to become one Of the
important communities in this
section Of the state. In 1903,
Rome was petitioned to raise the
priory to the rank Of abbey. and
Prior Vincent Wehrle was ap-
pointed first Abbot by Pope Plus
x.
His work in behalf Of the Ger
man-speaNng population in the
western half Of the state and the
steady growth of the Catholic
church In North Dakota, singled
Abbot Vincent out for head Of the
newly erected diocese Of Bis
marck. He was appointed bishop
on April 8, 1910, and consecrated
on May 10 Of the same year in st.
Paul, Mimi, by most Rev. John
Ireland, archbishop Of st. Paul.
With the permission of the
Holy See, Bishop Wehrle contin-
ued In his office as abbot until
the duties Of the newly organized
and flourishing diocese Of Bis
iaarck called for all hts attention.
He resigned as abbot July 6, 1915,
to devote his time to his other
duties.

SAVING TIME SUNDAY
Many Cities Will Turn Clocks
Back One Hour For Re-

Many eastern cities will begin their

will leave their clocks as they are.
For the remainder of the summer
Bismarck persons must bear In mind
the time change when communicate
ing in one way or another with those
points having the daylight-Saving

Only part of the U. 8. will OBJ
serve the practice. Some states have
laws forbidding 1t.
New York will have 1919 cities and
towns on daylight-saving time. New
Jersey cities and towns on the new
time will be 1l8 strong. Illinois will
have Chicago and 81 others.
The new time will directly affect
some 142,000,00o persons in the Uni
ted States and Europe.
Canada will come in, too, on May
1 and then the savers of sunlight will
number approximately 145,O00,O00.
France set its clocks up on April I,
Portugal on April 2, Belgium on April
3 and Great Britain on April II. Hol-

Washington, April 23.-(P-The
federal economy program was adj
vanced Saturday to the point Of de-
finite agreement by the special house
committee to recommend giving Pres
ident Hoover a limited power to re-
organize the bureaus and departments
OF the government.
He will not be authorized, under
the plan, to do away with any exist
ing functions but merely to transfer
and consolidate activities in the inter-
est OF economy and efficiency, his ac-
ton being subject within 60 days to
veto by congress. But the bill will
direct him to recommend abolition Of
unnecessary tasks to congress for its
action.
This decision brought near to COM
pletion the omnibus retrenchment
bill. a measure which will save the
government roughly soc, 600. 900 next
fiscal year If It's many controversial
proposals can survive opposition in
house and senate. Although the
Democratic leaders all expressed
themselves against giving Hoover con-
solidating power when he first propos-
ed it, there have been growing indica-
lions that many If not all have swung
around, so this committee recon-
may not have so rough q
passage.
A major struggle, however. is In
sight over the federal payroll reduce

bill is offered to the house next We'd

Many cross-currents Of sentiment
confuse the issue. Attaching the pay

tention Of making each member vote
for or against cutting his own pay, a
delicate matter for pay-cut foes so
close to election time.

President Hoover,s opposition is in

as well as saving more. Some con-

are divided on which to accept.
