Former Vice President Recalls 1874 Drought

Topeka, Kan (UP)-Speaking of droughts, Charles Curtis, former vice. president of the United States. has seen some of them before. He wrote to a friend here:
 sI feel sorry for our people. ] think know what they are going through. I remember a number of drought years in Kansas, but the one I will remember the longest was in 1874.
 ''I stood in the streets of Louis- vile, then the county seat of Pot tawatomie county, and saw covered wagon after covered wagon go through every town every day for weeks. They were going back to Missouri and Indiana and other states. 'Then I went in a covered wagon and horseback some of the way from Louisville to Wichita. The crops had been burned up by the hot winds. The streams and waterholes were dried up. Homes had been abandoned. Dead cattle and horses were strewn along the way. I never want to see such a sight again."

CHILEAN WINE IS
 HIGHLY REGARDED
CIlauncey & Wallace at
 3SO M. Main Are State Distributors

The excellence of Chilean wines is as yet an unknown quanity SO far as the average citizen Of the United States IS coricerlisd. If he Tor she is q thinker of wines the taste will undoubtedly run tp the domestic. the French, the German or the Spanish brands. ' Still it is an interesting com-' mentary that Chilean wines are so highly regarded in Europe that im- mense quantities of them are ex- ported annually and are used as the base of good many of the French wines that ultimately make their way into tiMs country. This is not by any means . secret. It's trade knowledge.
 The real wine connoisseurs know and appreciate Chilean wines, They are among the finest in the world. They have been produced ever since the Spaniard conquered South America and discovered that Chile's climate and soil were peculiarly adapted to the growing of the vine. Wine was the natural development of this cultures Chile is particularly famed for its dry wines. Many French ex- perts admit that several types of Chilean white wines (Barsacs, etc.l excell those of similar types pro- duced in France and on many oc- casions have won first prizes over the best that France could offer. Scientific American of Noyem- Der 17, 1900, declared: From it's climate, it's soil, and its typograph- ical confguration Chile presents the most favorable and natural condi- tions for the wine growing indus try and 1t is destined to be a great producer of excellent wines of all classes. ."
 That tribute of 34 years ago has
 been amply testified to in the clap sing period. Now that the United
 States is being encouraged to inn prove it's taste for wines, it is prob- able that it will turn more and more to it's southern neighbor for | imports of this nature.
 Chauncey &s Wallace, Inc, To-
 cated at 380 West Main street. are distributors in Connecticut of I Chilean vintage wines. They would
 be pleased to have you call on them for any information that you might desire or to cater to your order.

Sixty Years q aNun--Bishop Honors Mother Valencia

that thought the superinten- dent was in his way. She had invaded territory sacred to him and a few others. The bishops looked on, and looked into the merits of the case; they always cast the hospital and it's des- tiny with Mother, Valencia. She mad no interest to serve but that of the hospital and its patients. The settlement was left to her, and she fixed
 "The head of St. Francis hospital is woman of .ex- traordinary ability, and a wom- an of inexhaustible heart. She knows how. She is not afraid to act, and she can be depend ed upon to speak and to act at the proper moment. Sixty years in the religious life. leave her young and am mbitious. She would place St. Francis hos- pital at the apex and hold it there. The secret of her mar velous success is foun din this: She gave her life for the cause. A wonderful life! And a noble cause!
 ''It is not ours to measure the merits of Mother Valen- cia's life work. She has re- lieyed the sick. Her door has been open to the afflicted of all creeds. The members of every sect, and those of no sect, have found relief and comfort under her watchful and endless care. Thousands who had wandered from the straight and narrow way came back to the sacra- ments and to the law of right living while recuperating at St. Francis. For some the door to the hospital has been the door to eternal happiness. '"The Sisters of St. Joseph who have so faithfully held up their venerated leader may take some share in the joy Of the great anniversary which they are celebrating. The 60 years have been years of rare merit. Those spent at the hos pital have been fruitful be- cause the jubilarian has been able to command the respect of both the religious and lay coworkers. May they long con- tinue ti. labor together"

 Rev Henry. F. Quinn newly ap- pointed pastor of the Sacred Heart church, denounced today the mod ern modes of children. Father Quinn who comes from Willi- mantle, remarked that the children of today, are patronizing dances, picture shows and many other things that they seek in the form of recreation. As an illustration, the pastor said, when ever couple of youngsters get together, natural ly they are going to talk about getting something to drink. Now don't get me wrong, or that I am set against anyone drinking, but after a fellow or girl has had about two or three glasses of this repeal beer or liquor, I think that is just about enough for either one of them. Why do they always have to make a show of them selves, by staggering home?
 Asked as to what he thought of the new plan that Italy has put into effect for the children of that country, he remarked: "In one way I think it's very good plan. although boy of that country will practically spend all of his life in military training. The average Italian youth when he has matured will know also the rules and laws
 of the church, while as I said be-
 fore, the children of America are
 living to faststo realize that there is such thing as a church in our country. Please don't misunder- stand me, and think that am a
 reformer, by all means no, I, for
 one, would like to see any child
 have his or her own fun"

Mother Valencia, superior at St Francis hospital in Hartford since it's establishment in 1897 and a nun known and loved by hundreds of Waterburians, yesterday observed the 6Oth anniversary of her en- trance into the order of the Sis-
 ters of St Joseph. Among the small group, made of intimate friends, who attended the simple observance was Mother Sacred Heart of St Mary's hospital, this city. Mother Valencia visited War terbury frequently.
 Reception Held
 After reception for close friends had been held at St Francis hospital Wednesday night, the an- niversary celebration was begun yesterday morning at 6:30 o'clock.
 Most Rev Maurice F. McAuliffe,
 bishop of Hartford, sang a mass of thanksgiving. He was assisted
 by Rev Joseph Cunningham. chap
 lain at the institution. The mass was sung by a special nurses
 choir. Mother Sacred Heart was one of 25 visiting sisters who were present.
 Bishop McAuliffe paid touch ing tribute to Mother Valencia, re- calling that she had come to Hart ford to help found the now four ishing St Francis hospital. She was professed in France in 1874. Deserved Tribute This weeks Catholic Transcript pays Mother Valencia the following editorial tribute:
 Mother Valencia and St. Francis's hospital are synon- ymous terms. To think of one is to think of the other. Bish- op Tierney founded the hos pital. He founded it at the suggestion and in response to the prayers of several ann bilious Catholic physicians. l But he founded it with Moth- CT Valencia in mind. How he came to discover her marvel ous fitness for the work no one knows. But find her he did. She was on hand from the be- ginning. She has remained through years of light and darkness. She is with it yet. Neglecting all other clements, we can say with little exag- geration: St. Francis hospital? That is Mother Valencia. ''When the institution was in the throes of formation it had many faithful supporters, and some that were not so faithful. Occasionally. one was found

Good evening.

The time has come it must be said For d change, come what may, It really should be declared unlawful To even whisper that stale okay. Time was when it sounded smart But, alas! it's had its day., And has become an awful pain To hear the ubiquitous okay. So let some funny lad come forth Or gal with considerable say, And free us from the over-used And highly objectionable okay.
