Th- anniversary celebration to which all bishops of the United States have been invited will be preceded on the night of April 28 by a banquet at the Oliver hotel to which all clergy and laymen of the diocese have been Invited. When Bishop Whits entered into his episcopate the diocese which had been governed by Uhhop David Knickerbocker Included the entire state, fome -t' tulles long and 100 miles wide, with approximately S.uf'0,000 people and comparatively few larp" cities from which to direct missionary activities. Four j ears spent in futile attempt to administer properly th" affairs of the unwieldy diocese strengthened Bishop White In hl3 decision to divide the territory bringing it under the .supervision of two bishops. The northern one-third of the state, in which the church was hardly so well developed as in the southern and central portions was made a separate dim-e?..', to be known as the Kpiseopal diocese of northern Indiana, on April 25. making it 21 years old four days previous to the, festival arranged for Bhhop White.

With more than 3.42." acres of mint under cultivation at this time the farmers of the county are making plans to handle another bumper crop during the coming summer. A government purvey of this county and of the mint growing; industry in northern Indiana has been conducted by government agricultural experts and their rinding show that mint raising during the past year naa tho me.st profitable of all farm production. Local mint men realized from $2To' to JCO'J per acre for their product and as high as Jo. 25 per pound for the distilled product at the u). NOT Xi:W IMU'STKY.

trol of the nearly created portion. Needless to say v. hen the question was put to Bishop White he saw a larger field of labor in the undeveloped northern dioceso and cast his lot there. In commenting upon his choice Bishop White said that he felt better able to assume th" added responsibilities than would a new man unfamiliar with the territory. The Episcopal see at Indianapolis left vacant by Bishop Whito w;us fdled by Bishop Joseph Marshal Francis. Bishop White first established his diocesan residence at Michigan City where lie remained for two years. During the following four years he resided at his summer homo at Iiko Wawasee, and on Oct. 1, 1'jV2. was called to South Bend to assume the rectorship of St. James' parish, which he has held for eight years relinquishing it only on March 1C of this year wh n Rev. Robert J. Long, for four years arch-deacon of the diocese, was formally instituted as his successor. CIUOWTII SLOW AM) STFADV. Not by leaps and bounds, but sUadily, showing the consistent labor and thought prompting it, has been the growth of the diocese under the guidance of Bishop White. Net only have all parishes increased in membership during that time but several mis: -ions have grown to parishes, and Noveril mis-;ions about to bo recognized as parishes were not hi existence at the time of the creation of the diocese. Among these litter is the mission at Indiana Harber. St. Alban's church of which Rev. Leon H. Morris is rector. Ft. Andrew's parish of Valparaiso. Rev. C. B. Cromw-i . pastor, considered a very valuable parish, has also seen its establishment as a mission and its irrov .h to a self-sustaining parish under the direction and encouragement of Bishop White. St. Andrew's mission at Kokomo, Rev. J. F. Plummer, pastor, is about to become a parish and the Oood Shepherd congregation at Fast Chicago, Rev. Thomas Hints, pastor, received its recognition as u parish at the last church council held at St. Ja rues' church In this city, Feb. 4. DIOCi:S SCHOOL A SUCCFSS. The- one school of the dioceso located at Howe, Ind., is a source of great pleasure to Bishop White and well it might be as a no less renowned educator thnn Dean Herbert of Harvard university has pronounced it one of the finest preparatory schools in the United States., At the time of the division of the diocese the school was practically dead. Dr. J. H. McKenzie was then secured as its rector and with his capable management and with hearty support from Bishop White it hus prospered until it now merits the high place, which it holds among the educational institution:! of tho country. The school at the present time hr.s 250 pupils and its buildings are among tho best. The arrival of Bishop White's 25th anniversary Hart him spiritual director for approximately 12, C00 souls. The diocese numbers about 4,200 communicants, and authorities estimate that there are on an 'average three members, including children and adults not confirmed, for each communicant. He has under his direction 32 clergy and approximately 50 parishes and missions. During his tight years as a resident of South Bend Bishop White has created for himself a distinctive place in the community's regard. His inestimable

The soil anil climate here is ideal for tho plants and at the present time these fields produce practically all of the mint used in the United States, which is nearly onehalf oJ tho world's supply of mint oil. Peppermint is especially well adapted to extensive cultivation, for it is handled economically on a large scale, and is the best crop for extensive planting on marshy lands which are found west of the city.

The greatest use of mint today is in tho manufacture of chewing gum. When you giar.ee up in a street car anil see a lot of arrows insisting that "the flavor lasts" be assured that the flavor does last only because some St. Joseph county mint grower did some tall planting, rutting and boiling and sent the oil to the largest (hewing gum manufacturers in the world. i-pearmint and peppermint are Msed to a great extent in what you chew on for a nickel a parkage. Indeed v.-rro it not for the mint it is doubtful if chewing gum would enjoy the popularity it does now. A substitute flavoring that satisfies the demands of the chewing public has never been found. Boys, and girls and women ;ill insist that there be a mint taste to the stick, and the longer "the flavor lasts." of course, the more popular the gum. Five hundred million or more sticks of gum with tho St. Josoph county flavoring in m go out yearly to all parts of the world. The gum is shipped to 40 million chewing Am'ricar.s. to -JS states and to 40 foreign co-in-trie-.
