The general intention for January of the many thousand members of the Apostleship of Praver in the Catholic churches is The Reign of the Sacred Heart in the Family. Promoting work for. this intention, the following circu- lar has been distributed to local mem- ers: The home of homes was Nazareth, and the family of families was the Holy Family, and the reason for.both one and the other was elmply this, that Nazareth was the home of the Sacred Heart. We are to pray during this month- that all families may be model- ed on fhat sacred home, that the Sa- cred Heart may reign in the hearts of the parents and of the children. All of us are what our homes have made us. The chief formative influ- ence in the shaping of character is that first - fashioning of manners and of thought.that is given near the hearth- stone. Happy the man and happy the woman whose childhood _has. been passed in a home like that where for 80 many years dwelt the Sacred Heart of our Lord. _The reign of .the Sacred Heart in the family depends upon the parents. Who is to teach the baby lips the holy names but the parent? Who is to train the growing boy and girl to walk in the way -that leads to eternal life and to take up-with joy the burden of Christ? Who if not the parent, both by word and by example. Tf Catholic parents were more like | Mary and Joseph, Catholic children would be more like the Child Jel\'u Fewer children would be a judgmen on their parents, fewer hearts would be in ashes, fewer hopes would be in vain. Calamity comes to those who neglect the “teachings of Christ and do not honor His Sacred Heart. If they would have joy, they must make Jesus the center of their hopes, the teacher of their ideals and the model of their vir- tues. Then-would be fulfilled His promilse to bless the homes where His Heart is honored. The Bute tuberculosis. commission held a meeting at the capitol Mon- day. Dr. David R.

To ‘encourage the standardization of farm products and seécure a co-opera- tion of farmers in producing crops in such . quantities as to attract the at- tention of buyers and so create a ready niarket for farm produce put up in attractive shape. Any group of farmers may call on the county rent to meet with them and discuss the advisability of buying or selling co-operatively. Should such a step seem advisable, the county agent will help them to organize in the best way to accomplish the desired results, advise them as to markets, prices, shipping rates and . facilities, d any line of business methods on which they may need assistance. Such organization or its representative will transact all the business and handle the funds of the association, and the county agent will in no case enter into | Tota the business in other than an 24 capacity. ‘The organization will be _entirely among the farmers interested in co- operation with the county agent, who will report from time to time to the directors of the league on the success of all such organizations securing the benefits of the county agent's services.
