Catholic Prayers For Peace Universal On Next Sunday. The Catholics of the entire world Will offer supplications for peace on next Sunday, March 21st. The following decree was issued by Herman J. Alerding, Bishop of Ft Wayne, as the authorized English translation of the papal decree of Pope Benedict XV. The decree is as follows: His Holiness our Sovereign Lord, Pope Benedict XV, in deep affliction at the sight of a war which destroys thousands of young lives, brings misery to families and ities, and rushes flourishing nations to the brink of ruin, yet bearng in mind that Almighty God, Whose prerogative it is to heal by chastisement and through pardon to preserve, is moved by the players which spring from ontrite and humble hearts, desires ardently that above the clang of arms may be heard the voice of Faith, Hope and Charity, alone capable of welding together the hearts of men in one mind and one spirit. Therefore, While He exorts the clergy and the faithful of the whole world of v mortification and piety in expiation for. the sins by which we have called down upon ourselves the just wrath of God, the Holy Father has* ordained that throughout the Catholic church solemn' prayers shall be offered in order to obtain from the mercy of Almighty God the peace which all desire. For this purpose it is hereby dereed that in every Metropolitan, Cathedral, Parochial and Conventual church in all European countries, on the 7th day of February next, (being the Sunday called Sexagesima) and in all dioceses situated outside of Europe on the 21st day of March (being Passion Sunday) there shall be celebrated special religious functions in the following order: In the morning, immediately after the Conventual or Parochial Mass, the Most Blessed Sacrament shall be exposed with all solemnity, and duly incensed, after which the Psalm Miserere mei-Deus (Ps. 50) shall be sung with the Antiphon: Da pacem, Domine, in diebus nostris, quia non est alius qui pugnet pro nobis nisi tu, Deus noster, followed by the V. Fiat pax in virtute tua, R. Et abundantia in turribus tuis, and the Collect Deus, a quo sancta desideria, etc. The Most Blessed Sacrament shall then remain exposed to public veneration till evening, and it is desirable that arrangements be - made wehreby children also should take part in the public adoration.

In the evening, previously to the deposition of the Most Blessed Sacrament, the third part of the Rosary is to be recited followed by the prayer, expressly composed by His Holiness in order to obtain the benefit of peace, then the Litanies of the Sanits, according to the form prescribed for the devotion of the Forty Hour’s Prayer in the Rituale Romanum of the year 1913. Immediately after the Litanies shall be sung the Parce, Domine, parce populo tuo, ne in aetemum irascaris nobis with the versicles and prayer usually resited after the Proession in quacumque tribulatione as in the Rituale Romanum, with the addition of the Collect Deus, a qua sancta desideria. The sacred function shall onclude with the Tantum Ergo and Benediction of the Most Sacred Sacrament, more solito. In the hope that Almighty God may pour forth in yet greater abundance His Divine Grace, the Sovereign Pontiff exhorts the Faithful to approach the sacrament of Penance and to receive Holy Communion, and grants to all those who, after Confession and Communion, shall assist at one or other of the sacred functions as above ordered, or shall pray for some time before ?the Most Sacred Sacrament while solemnly exposed, a Plenary Indulgence. Franm the atican, January 19, 1915. PETER CARDINAL GASPARRI, ' , Secretary of State.

FARMERS TO RAISE CROP OF SUGAR BEETS

Newland Men Interested by Agent of Pope Works and Several Sign Acreage Contracts. L. C. Villard, representing the Charles Pope Sugar Works, of Chicago, has been working through J. J. Brehm, of Newland, the past few days to interest the farmers of that locality in raising sugar beets and a number have, signed contracts, among them Harry Gifford for 10 acres, Oscar Smith 10 acres, J. W. Garno 35 acres, T. M. Callahan 20 acres and Mr. Brehm himself plans to put out 50 acres. Mr. Villard states that the land there is admirably suited for raising sugar beets and the contract agrees to pay $5.50 per ton for all the beets grown. Mr. Villard states that in the neighborhood of 10 tons per acre can be raised. At $5.50 per bushel this would make almost SIOO per acre. It costs about $25 per acre to plant, cultivate and harvest them. Mr. Brehm will continue to make contracts and it is thought probable that many others will raise the beets. The newcomers are beginning to arrive in Newland and this morning fourteen came in on the 11:20 train and were taken to the Springer ranch in automobiles. Almost all were foreigners, great rugged fellows and some are said to be expert gardeners. Newland is expecting a good crowd of people , there on Saturday, March 27th, when the soil lecture is to be given by Prof. Bell. A special train will be run from Rensselaer and will make all round trips to Newland via McCoysburg and another special will be run from Kersey.

STORAGE PLANT AT NEWLAND DESTROYED

Big Onion Storehouse Erected Last Fall and 30,000 Bushels of Onions Burned. ■" T" The new onion storage plant at Newland and about 30,000 bushels of onions was destroyed by fire Wednesday night. The fire was discovered at about 10 o’clock and the Newland volunteer fire department did some splendid work in preventing the fire spreading to the other storage plant and from there to the business houses of the town. Some time after the fire had started word was telephoned in to R. D. Thompson, the insurance agent who had the risks on the building and contents and he secured three or four automobiles and a number of the members of the Rensselaer fire department, including Chief Montgomery, went there to assist in fighting the fire, taking the small chemical engines. They were unable to do Very much, however, but Chief Montgomery says that the work of the volunteer bucket brigade was excellent and undoubtedly was the cause of saving the other storehouse. The new plant was erected only last fall at a cost of about SIO,OOO. Its dimensions were 40x156 feet and it was a total loss, together with the onions stored there and a large number of onion crates. The building was insured for $7,500, the onions for SIO,OOO and the crates for $5,000. Not all of the crates were burned. The plant was the property of Ed Oliver, who also owned the greater amount of the onions, the others belonging to various parties who had them stored there.

Record of Democratic Administration.

A few 1914 records will convey a better idea of the blighting effect of democratic policies and administration than words a word-painter might employ. 1. Fifteen hundred miles new railroad constructed —smallest since 1895 and less than our neighbor Canada constructed. 2. Gross earnings of raiirdads $200,000,000 less than year 1913. 3. Business mortality mounted to the stupendous number, 18,280 —the greatest number failures in history of the U. S’. 4. Democrats about 8,000 new offices (besides evading civil service wherever possible), carrying salaries aggregating $15,377,049. 5. Expense of government 1913-14, $1,383,025,196.22 —the greatest in history of U. S. by about $75,0000,000. 6. Between 2,000,000 and 8,000,000 men unemployed-—ailing for. nationwide assistance and soup houses. 7. Established a bureau for the unemployed, while under republican administrations there was need for a bureau to secure more workmen. 8. Imports for ten months to July 31, 1914, increased $12,478,621, but under the much touted “hit-the-far-mer-and-reduce-the-cost-of-living” tariff, duties paid thereon decreased $30,770,070. 9. Put on an income tax and a socalled “war tax” and yet the government was behind about $80,000,000. And these records might be multiplied world without end—but need one do so?
