Students from the 7th grade then
explained an exhibit of water

Christmas cards, plaques and mot
toes were next on the list. A sew
enth grade table showing forest
conservation posters with model
camps, camp fires for cooking diff

ways of building camp fires held
ones interest. Another art table
exhibiting hot dish mats, color
wheels, picture plaques and six diff

EUREKA

WELL ATTENDED
On Sunday evening the hev. II.
i Delaney of Our Lady OF Mercy
church preached one of the most
forceful and timely sermons yet de-
livered on a similar occasion. High
points of the sermon, Vital Prin-
ciples of Life" follow: The partlc-
ular object of the church should be
to instruct children of our American
democracy in Christian truth and
thus save them from spiritual and
temporal errors of the age. one
basic principle in American democ-
racy is freedom of religion. Quoting
George Washington, our first presl--
dent, OF all the dispositions and
habits which lead to political pros
perity, religion and morality are IN
dispensible supports. In vain would
that man claim the attribute OF
patriotism who would labor to sub
vert these great pillars of human
happiness-these firmest props of
the duties of men and citizens. Rea-
son and experience both forbid us
to expect that national morality can
prevail in exclusion of religious
principles Religion belivies in lib
erty, teaches liberty and suffers for
liberty. Youthful lives are not built
by physical or intellectual training
alone. Above all else and as a
foundation for everything else,
there must be a belief in God, a
knowledge of Gods commandments
and a respect and observance of
them. Education should be the or
derby and harmonious development
of the God-given faculties of soul
and body with a view to fitting the
individual to take an intelligent,
beneficient and honorable part in
the life of society here on earth as
a prelude to a future life with God
The training of youth is very
sacred trusteeship. Religion is the
important element in the training
for the moulding of character and
for giving reason and purpose to
life. The principle concern of
America today is the preservation
of our personal liberties. Through
out history it is the Christian re-
hgion that found a sound balance
between freedom of the individual
and social unity. It is religion that
emphasized on the one hand, the
Importance of human personality,
and on the other, the brotherhood
OF man. Because religion proclaims
and teaches these vital principles,
at the rise of all relationships, re-
llglon is the first institution to fall
under the froWn of dictators."
The Rev. Mr.. Delaney gave the
graduates some sound advice on

CASING SUPPLY
TO BE AVAILABLE
MIDDLE OF JULY

Reassuring words regarding a readily
available supply Of tubular goods for
Montana oil producers come from John
B. Schuyler, director Of materials, Disc
triet 4, Denver. Mr.. Schuyler in let
ter to the Journal states that stocks Of
tubular goods for those operators who
drilled less than 10000 feet Of hole
during 1912 should be available about
the middle Of July.
"when such a supply is established
an operator should be able to receive
such material within two or three
weeks from the time Of placing ORDERS"
he writes. 'Tn the meantime if he win
apply on Form PD-s73 for an allotment
number and preference rating, stating
when he win need his easing, we viii
endeavor to assist him in every way"
Mr.. Schuyler said that reports that
mill conditions are improved is in error.
"The supply Of steel in any form is
more critical now than it was six
months ago." he says.
