There is a_marked scarcity of chest- nuts this fall and the price of toothsome edibles has gone up and is still soaring. The price has been quoted at $9.50 and $10 a bushel in New York. This time last year they were selling at $5 a bushel and con- sidered dear at that price. .« 1t is feared that the“days of chest- nutting parties are over. - For - the past few years the American chest- nut tree, which yields the delicions nut has suffered from a blight that has been fatal to the tree. The absence of the, chestnut roaster from the corners of the street this fall has-been noticed. -There-are few- er chestnuts to roast, or at least there are none procurable except at a price that make it impossible for him to continue his trade at a_profit. Among the sufferers from the dearth of chestnuts are the squirrels. The fall has always beea the harvest time for the nimble little creatures and the chestnut was their choice crop. So long as nature yielded a good crop they asked mo odds from any one in furnishing their larders. The even showed a_proud independence of their human friends. Put now that their favorite food has gone they must cul- cts and | Mlfl. ‘This y) evening mp.\'d to tion lh! lle ‘will t:hml odd organization will be pfl'fi;g i Assistant County Axmt Tillson will start this week to ch APPEAL OF THE DEAD DURING NOVEMBER DAYS iG_NoVE! : Rev. .Myles P. Galvin Preaches On Catholic Chitrch’s - Solicitude For Souls in Proh.tmn State. ‘That phase of the communion uf : sairts in which every Catholic .. be- lieves, the fact that it is in the pow- er of the liviig to aid those souls detained in an ‘intermediate state un- til prepared ‘and cleansed so as to see God, .%etm theme of Rev. Myles P. Galvin’s rmon at the high mass in St. P: flek’l church Sunday. It is the teaching 0!» the church. that: noth- ing ~defiled can enter Heaven: hence that those souls whose faults have' not been sufficiently grave to merit ‘hell, yet which are stained by venial sin, must expiate their of- fences - agains! God in the probation state, Purgatos Efficacy of P er and Good Waerks. Through jat relation -which ex- ists between le members of the church militant on earth, the church tiumphant in heaven and the church suffering in this middle state, it 'is held that thosein life have the power to aid, by their prayers and good works, the poor souls detained thus:is satisfaction and for purification, and who cry out, in the words of Holy Scripture, “Have ‘mercy on me, have mercy on me, at least you, my friends, for the hand of the Lord hath touched me!” At the Dying of the Year. ‘While at all geasons of the year the Catholic Churéh prays for her de: especially dees’ she do so during N¢ vember, as seems particularly fitting during that month approaching what is popularly called the dying of the year. She holds that these holy Souis are kept in their probatlon state by a loving ther, who longs for their speedy nsition tota state ‘of bliss, yet, as & God of -Justice must require satisfaction for their wrong- doing. Consoling Doctrine, But it is the consoling teaching of the church that while these souls, shut out fromr the presence of God, are not able t6 help .themselves, thair friends among 'fhe livmng. have it da theiv power to aid them: and ' this can be done by having offered for them the Holy Sacrifice of the hass. by praying that they may be released from their suffering by almsdeeds in tivate a taste for something else.

This last is perhaps a selfish reason; but since man’s sole object in ' life should be to save his soul, the desira for the grateful pray- ers of these holy spirits, freed from their expiatory: suffering, is a -laud- able and reasonable one.
