= CORMAN ORDAINS PRIEST HOLY ORDERS CONFERRED | ON REV. FR. MICHAEL BAUMGARTNER. Wednesday, December 8, the} feast of the Immaculate Concep- | tion of the Biessed Virgin M a feast observed by all Catholics, will stand unique in the history | of our community, since this day brought to us the exceptional priviledge of seeing a member oi St. Michael’s Monastery raised to the rank of the priesthood in | St. Mary’s church. The joyful, news had caused an enormous confluence of visitors from near and far, and the church was crowded to capacity to witness the sacred rites of the Sacra- ment of Holy Orders as institut- | ed by Christ and observed by the | Roman Catholic church. At 10 a. m. the Rt. Rev. Bishop Daniel M. Gorman enter- ed the sanctuary surrounded by numerous assistants to confer in| virtue of his apostolic authority on Fr. Michael Baumgartner, Oo. S. B. the office and dignity of a priest of God. After the prelate | having assumed the pontifical vestments and being seated at} the altar the candidate prostrat- ed in the sanctuary before him in solemn prayers. Then follow- ed the most impressive moment, when the hishop and all of the priests present imposed their hands in deepest silence upon the candidate, thus conferring to him the sacerdol powers which were sealed by the immediately following consecration of his hands with holy Chrisam by the Bishop. This ceremony being finished the new priest was vest- ed with the robes of his new dignity and handed the sacred | utensils of his office; paten and chalice. From the same mo- ment the newly ordained priest joined the bishop in reading the holy mass. Towards the end of the holy service the power of forgiving sins was added to those of teacher, guide and medi- ator of God’s people. This part being closed, the bishop con- gratulated the new priest as well as the congregation to the great event, expressing his hopes that this ordination would prove so fruitful that many others would follow it at St. Mary’s church. The prelate than gave those pre- sent the Papal Blessing, followed by Fr. Michael who also exercis- ed his newly received powers in blessing the greet assembly for the first time. The other priests perticipstine in the holy ser- vices were Philip, O. S. B, Baer- locher, Martin, Boniface, James, and Willibrord. Space forbids to pay due tribute to the beauti- ful decorations of the altar, and the exquisite rendering of the sacred songs by St. Mary’s choir. We teke the liberty of joining the Rt. Rev. Bishop in his congratulations to the newly ordained Father and wish him a successful career “Ad multos Annos.” WOMEN BAD TO PAY. Mr. and Mrs. T. C Keith, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. H.

CHRONICLE DELAYED The Chronicle will reach many of its readers several hours late this week owing to a breakdown of our big press, which required sev- eral hours to repair. The accident occured as we were making our last run, Labebaattebnoneieteiite RK, | 99,967 FORD CARS IN MONTH | During October 99,967 Ford cars were made in the Ford fac- tory at Detroit and shipped out to join the four and one-half million already in service. This is the highest record ever reach- ed by the Ford company, or any other company. Thirty-three more cars would have brought production up to the 100,000 | mark for the month. October 26 was the banner day having brought forth 4,688 cars. This was also a record breaker. | It means that one car was com- | pleted every eighteen and one- half seconds for the entire twen- |ty-four hour day. The Ford | estimate for this year is one and one-quarter million cars and | trucks. It was during the fall 1919 that Henry Ford placed on the market his now famous Model “T”—the car that brought Ford unquestioned supremacy in the motor car industry. To date, more than four and one-half mil- lion of this one model have been built and distributed to the four | corners of the world. Of models prior to the “T,” thirty thousand were manufactured. During 1910, 18,644 Ford cars were built, a tremendous output for those days. Yet in ten years from that time Ford pro- duction has grown to more than one million a year. Almost half of the motor cars in the world are Ford cars. In the United States and Canada, a little better than one-half are Fords. WRITES FROM LEWISTON.

All of this money is pand out to the various school institutions maintained by the state through the state board of education; 75 per cent goes to school and the remainedr to oth-| er institutions. These funds accumulate until January 1 when they are turned over to the state superintendent of educa-| tion. Applications for loans, how- ever have far exceeded the re- ceipts. Recently, of $6000 daily. This is accoun- ted for, said Commissioner El- mer, by the fact that farm pro- ducts have dropped in value and the fermer seems to be unwilling to sell at the low figure in order to turn his product into cash. High freight rates, too, have done their part as they stand directly in the path of the Idaho farmer, who wants to get his produce on the national market. DO YOU KNOW?
