Areson was the speaaker at the men's rally at the Y. M. C. A. Sunday ‘afternoon. His topic was “Rolling Away the Stome’ He spoke of the need of rolling away the stene of criticism of our government: that the little mean things said agaist the Teaders at Washington were block- ing the way more than most people think. THis fs no time to speak of the democratic party or the republi- can party, but to think in terms of our great government, and co-operate in every possible way. Then we should roll away the stones that are blocking in the . industrial realm; strikes occurring are for the ‘mogt part unreasonable, and those who are now recciving twice as much in wages as before the war, are insist- ing on getting still more. These stones are blocking our early success. There are. slso the stones to be rolled away in the religious realm: things in our own lives that are not right need to be ecradicated, and we need to cultivate the Christian spiri aven toward our ememies; it is very dificult to avoid the fecling of re- venge against the Germans because of what the army of that great nation has done and is doing. An allyminum medal hangs around the nec of every German soldier, and it reads “strike to kill, the judbment day will not ask the reason.” But public opinion will ask the reason, and for all of the aw- ful deeds perpetrated by our enemies an account must be rendered, but we, as_Christians must maintain the spir- it of the Christ of Easter time.

ST. PATRICK'S PARISH TO ‘BUY LIBERTY BONDS. Special Collection, so That Rich and Poor May Help the Government— Forty Hours’ Devotion Opens. The entire ritvai of the Roman Cath- olic church might be summed up in the word “commemoration.” Every line of its liturgy, each ceremonial, every act of worship of priests and people com- memorates some: event in the earthly life and ministry of the Saviour. When Christ, at the Last Supper, instituting the Holy Eucharist, commanded His apostles, “Do this in commemoration of Me,” it was the obligation which every priest commemorates daily in offering the holy sacrifice of the mass. The church has but lately finished commemorating, in lent, the forty days and nights during which our Lord fasted and prayed in the desert and on Good Friday His death for man’s redemption, 2lso in commem- orating the joyous triumph of life over death in the Redeemer’s glorious res- urrection. So it is in every day of the ecclesiastical year; each is so appor- tioned as to recall, commemorate, the Blessed Lord's words, and works and teachings, His sufferings, His deeds of service for mankind, up to the time of His glorious ascension into heaven. The scriptural record of His sarthly ministry is followed to the létter, without question or quibble, now, as in the earliest days of the Christian church. It is in accord with this literal com- memoration that ~=ce sach year there is in every Catholic ehurch the devo- tion of the 1uiiy wouis the Blessed Sacrament, the consecrated Host belieted by all Catholics 4o be, since Christ' has said it is eo, His divine body, given to men for their spiritual food, that Bread of Life so often referred to in the scriptures, and by the Saviour Himself. The forty hours special devotion continues in memory of the period during which the body of the crucified Redeemer remained in the sepulchre. This devo- tion was begun in Milan in 1534 and the records show was intreduced inte Rome by Saint Philip Neri in 154 While it continues, the Sacred Host exposed on the altar for the venera- tion of the faithful, and the devotional period is regarded in a parish as a time of e?dal graces and an incen- tive to re ntance. Sunday in St. Patrick’s church the solemn high mass preceding the de- votion was celebrated by Very Rey. J. P. Guinet, M. §,, of La Salette col- lege, Hartford, Rev. Myles P. Galvin being deacon and Rev. Peter J. Cuny sub-deacon. There was special music by the choir, directed by Organist Frank L. Farrell, with beautiful solos by Mrs. Farrell, the other members of the quartette being Miss Loretta Bellefieur, John Sullivan and William F. Doyle. ~The altars were adorned with cholcest spring flowers, arranged by the Sisters of Mercy from the parish convent. In the customary pro- cession, when the - Sacred Host was borne by Father Guinet, each white- frocked little girl bore a lily, other daintily clad children strewed blossoms in the path of the Host, and long lines of altar boys carrying lighted tapers formed an important part of the pro- cession, all the children indicating the intelligence with which they partici- pated in the devotion, as well as the ;| Wonderfully thorough training which they receive from their instructors, the priests and Sisters. In the procession the canopy above the Host was borne by Alexander Kilroy, Austin Furlong, John R. Tarrant and Thaddeus Leahy. Rev. Myles P. Galvin, who omitted any formal letter from Bishop Nilan urging each Catholic in .the diocese to aid in the purchase of Liberty bonds possible way, both by individual buy- ing and by contributing to a collection to be taken up next Sunday for funds to purchase bonds in the name of the Father Galvin also urged the parish. women of St. Patrick'’s to make a special effort to spend at least one Monday afternoon each month at the Red Cross room in the Thayer build- ing, preparing surgical dressings, not being content to leave all such lauda- ble work to the members of the Cath- olic Woman's club. his (Monday) morning there will be' masses at 5.30. 7 and 8 o'clock. the last a high mass. and the same hours for services were announced for Tuesday. The church will be open from 5.30 a. m. At the to 9 p..m. during both days. 8 o'clock-mass each morning there will be the procession of the Blessed Sac- rament, as on Sunday. NORWICH C. E.

INCREAS tnful Help Desert Efiploytu at Admore Woclen Mi Friday noon, after a notice had been posted giving an increase of 10 per cent. in the wages of the empioyes of e 7, to com- mence : crease of wages of 53 per past year and bringing the wages up to a very high standard, some of the spinners and weavers were dissatisfied and demanded more. They would not wait for adjustment 2s they had not organized any com- ‘mittee, consequently the rooms have been idle since. One of the owners, Emanuel Kaplan, and Supt. John H. Williams tried to adjust the matter, but it was postponed by the striking " element until Mon- y. The sentiment of the peaple unwill- ing to strike was that the strikers were to be considered as pro-Germans —willing to help Germany win the war, by refusing to carry out the work here needed to proguce the cloth to clothe the American soldiers, much of which is needed and which is made at no profi at present by the manufac- turers, who have endeavored to do their utmost for the help since taking aver the plant. APPEALS TO BRITISH SUBJECTS TO ENLIST. cent. the % Men Are Badly Needed for Great Britain’s Army. “Lieut. Col. F. C. Jamieson, com- manding the eastern division of the British and Canadian recruiting mis- sion, has sent out -an urgent appeal for 5,000 volunteers from New Eng- land. He says in his appeal: ‘We cannot expect peace on earth without the support of the men that are so badly needed at this time and of the employers of British subjects we ‘ask co-operation in urging these men to come forward without any fur- ther persuasion. The men are thoroughly examined at headquarters, 191 Church etreet, New Haven, under command of Lieut. J. J. Todd, and are sent from there to Canada for training. The mission does not consider it fair to haye so many Britishers being sup- ported by their employers under the excuse of “government orders.” Were it not for Great Britain and her col- onies many of the factories would not be running today.

A well presented farce was en- Home Vegetable Plots Add to Weal t! BY CHARLES The. home gardener should prepare early to combat plant disease-and in- sect pesis which are practically cer- tain to appear in his garden and which if not fought effectively will interfere seriously with yields or even destroy the crops. Provision to tombat these foes of garden vegetables is of equal importance with other phases of gar- dening and under no circumstance should be neglected. The wise garden- er does not wait for the appearance of insects and disease, but takes' steps against them by spraying his plants at reasonable intervals, or by other protective measures, from early spring until his crop have been harvested. Simple methods of protecting plants from the larger eating insects are to pick them by hand or to knock them with a stick into a pan containing wat- er on which a thin film of kerosene is floating. Insects collected by hand should be destroyed promptly. Some young plants may be protected by set- ting ‘over them woolen frames covered with mosquito netting, wire mesh, or theesecloth. If the home gardener finds it nec- essary to adopt other than these sim- plest methods he should secure early in the season the necessary implements and materials in his anti-insect cam- paign. He may need a substantial hand sprayer and concentrated solu- tion with water. Every effort should be made this vear to prevent waste of these chemical materials. Where a soap emulsion would be sufficient it sHould be preferred. Gardeners who obtain a supply of chemicals too great for their needs can help by supplying the surplus to a neighbor. Disease and Insects Grouped. The disease which affect garden plants may be divided into two groups, parasitic and constitutional diseases. The parasitic maladies, such as the Dlights, are caused by fungi or germs and usually may be Drevented or con- trolled by spraying with Bordeaux mixture. Little is known, however, of the so-called constitutional diseases, and little can be done to prevent their ravages. If some malady which does not vield to reatment with Bordeaux mixture manifects ifself on isolated plants in the garden, it may be well to pull up these plants and burn them. The insects which attack garden plants may be divided into two groups —those which eat or chew the foliage or fruit. and those which suck the plant juices. Iating insects may be killed usually by spraying poisonous solutions or dusting powders on the plants which they attack. Arsenate of lead is the poison in most general use for this purpose. This substance is poisonous to persons as well as to insects. and must be used with care. It should not be applied to vegetables that are to be used soon. All vege- tables should be washed carefully be- fore they are eaten, regardless of whe- ther they have been spraved. Most of the garden plants may be safe-guarded against disease and at the same time protected from attack by certain eating insects by spraying at intervals of two weeks with a com- bination of Bordeaux mixture and arsenate of lead. Sucking insects, such as plant-lice, or “aphis,” can not be killed by, poi- soning the surface of the leaves and War Gardens As City Assets h and Attractiveness of Community LATHROP PACK fruit, since they feed by puncturing the plants and extracting the internal juices. Poisons which ‘will kill by contact or substances which envelop and smother the pests are, therefore, employed against the sucking insects. The principal remedies of this sort are nicotine-sulphate solutions, fish- oil and other soap solutions, and kero- sene-soap emulsion. Help In Combating Insects. The insects most likely to appear in the vegetables garden arg listed in the accompanying table. Gardeners desiring additional infor- mation in regard to insects affecting vegetble gardens should apply direct to the Bureau of Entomology, United States Department of Agricuiture, or to the horticuitural specialists of the Department. but it should be under- stood that there is no publication cov- ering the entire subject. Farmers’' B letin 856, “Control of Diseases and I sects Enemies of thd Home Veges table Garden,” treats of many plant foes and will be sent free upon ap- plication to the Department. Speci- mens of insects, with some account of food plants and ravages, if sent with inquiries, are of great value, wherever there is any doubt as to the name of character of the insect. The gardener should remember that many plant diseases and insects exist in the garden from year to vear. At the end of the growing season, there- fore, the garden should be carefully cleaned or rubbish ahd the stems of plants, leaves, an§ other remnantd. Prompt burning of the rabbish is sure to destroy many disease spores and many insects which may be present. In Zones A, B, and C, constituting the extreme Southern portion of the United States, cabbage may be set in the autumn. This is also true of portions of Zones D and B, When set in spring, the plants should be started in the window box or in hotbeds some six weeks before the average date of the last killing frost in the particular locality. They may be set in the gar- dens as soon_as the ground is in con- dition. For horse cultivation the rows should be from 23 to 3 feet apart and the. plants from 12 to 20 inches apart in the rows. Cabbage dequires a rich warm soil for early maturing & loam cohs purpose. It is an excellent plan to put a shovelful of compost under each plant. Early cabbage must be used as soon as it reaches maturity, or the heads are liable to burst and be lost. It is an excellent plan to grow early cab- bage for summer kraut making, as it has been found that kraut may be made at the time that early cabbage matures and will keep successfully. It is much easier to produce early cab- bage than the later varieties for this purpose—U. §. Department of Agri- culture. Common Ga Insect. Plants attacked. rden Insects, ” Treatment.
