This picture has been proclaimed
the greatest picture drama ever pro
duced. The producer. Father George
A. Keirh. S. J. who has distinguished
himself in his record as dean of men

learns about the Divine Sacrifice, it
sees the complete history of the Aiass
as the drama develops. This visual
teaching is a most pr.se: ical and up-to-date
way of informing young; and

numbering thousands of people of
every creed in the largest cities have
been thrilled by Father Keith's beau

great "Sacred Story of the Mass."
In a ?erious of colorful picture;
representing the choice art of tin
world, the action of the Mass and
the significance of the action are
both made visible and presented to
the view r in one lesson. The pic

Annually on the first Friday in
Lent The World Day of Pray
ers the globe is Circled with in
tercessary prayer. As far back as
1887 a denominational annual day
of prayer for woman's work for home
missions was held by Presbyteriau
women. Then in the early 1890's in
terdenominational observance of a
Day of Prayer for Foreign Missions
began, suggested by Mrs. Henry W.
Peabody and Mrs. Wm. S. Montgom
ery, and the first interdenomin
ational Day of Prayer for Home Mis
sions was observed in 1S96- the last
Thursday in February being "a day
of humiliation and prayer." Finally
in 1920 the two were united, the
first Friday in Lent being selected
tor the Day of Prayer for missions.
That same year Canadian women
first observed a Dominion-wide In
tertlencminational Women's Day of
Prayer. Five denominations united.
Anglican. Baptist, Congregational,
Methodist, and Presbyterian. In 1922
'the Dominion united With the States
in observance of the day on the first
I Friday in Lent. Then a desire to be
included having been expressed by
Christians living in other lands, the
observance became the "World Day
'of Prayer," which from reports is be
1 ins observed now in forty-five coun
! tries.
Locally this day will be observed
at the Methodist church parlors on

Ole Olson, well known Weeping
Water man, is usually calm and
peaceful, but when the opportunity
demands can defend his rights with
vigor and this was shown the past
week when he routed a holdup man
that attempted to stick him up. Mr.
and Mrs. Olson were motoring to
York to visit with their daughter,
Miss Pauline, who is teaching in
the schools and had the experience
with the holdup between Seward and
York. They were driving around a
sharp curve in the road that was
heavily graveled, slowing their car
down to make the turn, when a man
leaped from another car that was
passing and onto the running board
of the Olson car. shouting a com
mand to "stick 'em up," and which
was complied with, Mr. Olson being
caught at a disadvantage. The Weep
ing Water people were ordered out
of their car and the holdup man pro
ceeded to search them, using both
hands in this operation and Mr. Ol
son seeing his opportunity struck
the holdup a blow that sent the man
rolling down a steep bank, Mr. and
Mrs. olson getting 'back in their
car and driving away. The compan
ion of the stickup man remained in
his car and offered no opposition as
the Olson car drove away to safety.
The Weeping Water man has a sore
hand as a remembrance of the knock
out punch that he gave the holdup.

FIND CONFERENCE HELPFUL
Mayor John P. Sattler and John
Sattler, Jr., have just returned from
Omaha where they attended the two
day session of the Joint conference
on Business Procedure. The confer
ence is a co-operative movement
within the funeral profession to Im
prove still further the standards of
service to the public and to install
better business methods.
In accordance with the most ad
vanced methods of instruction, the
Joint Conference dramatized the
problems of the funeral director and
presented a variety of solutions thru
fourteen playlets performed in the
Fontenelle Hotel by a troupe of
Broadway actors.
"The sessions were highly educa
tional in nature." said Mayor Sat
tler on his return from Omaha, "and
I hop that we will be able to pass
the benefits on to the public.
The Joint Conference movement
has been under way for several
months and is national in scope.
The lumber and piling used in the
old wagon bridge at Louisville has

under the supervision of A. R. John
son of this city, the work being "com

the lumber and material taken from
the bridge has been disposed of. The
sale of the material was handled by
Andrew Schoemann, road overseer of
Louisville, who sold the lumber and
timbers to various farmers for use in
building purposes and the less valu
able lumber as kindling and fuel.
The material was in such shape that
it could not be used in the county
work altho it was suited to the use
of farmers around their places for
flooring in barns or sheds.
Palo Alto, Calif. Rice cakes
continue to be more popular than
white bread in Japan, bt:t neverthe
less that country is gradually ;ir
suming a place of real importance
in the world wheat market.
This situation is indicated in an
exhaustive study of wheat consump
tion in the Flowery Kingdom, re
cently completed by the Food Re
search Institute of Stanford Univer
sity, which has published a mono
graph on the subject.
Japan is the only country of east
ern Asia where rice is the staple
cereal and where, at the same time,
statistics are adequate for the O.o
termination of a trend in wheat con
sumption, according to economists of
the institute. Records of tha't coun
try, however, reveal that In the last
50 years the wheat area nas Increas
ed 30 per cent, and the crop 170 per
cent.
The prospects of further exnansion.
however, are not good, since the
country is becoming industrialized,
and agricultural areas are being
contracted rather than expanded.

m
Population growth to some extent,
but the increase of milling operations
more generally, is responsible for
the new tendency of Japan to bring
in wheat from foreign countries.
For some time flour in quantity was
imported, but this has been changed
to unprocessed wheat by the enact
ment of tariffs against flour. Under
this protection, the Japanese milling
industry has expanded considerably,
the institute has found, until today
Japan has become the world's fifth
largest exporter of flour, sending
large supplies to other Oriental
countries, principally China.
Although the per capita consump
tion of wheat in Japan is between
two and three times as great now as
it was 50 years ago, it is still small,
and the increase is seen as the re
sult of a general rise in the standan:
of living rather than as indicative
of a change of taste. With the ex
ception of certain industrial ues of
wheat, the sale of baked goods is con
sidered the principal reason for an
increase in wheat consumption.
During the same period the per cap
ita consumption of rice has increased
also, the institute has found.
All the wheat consumed In Japan
by no means gees into bread or bak-.
ed goods. The institute found that
in Japan there are many uses of
wheat not known In the western
world. Large quantities were found
to be disappearng unmilled possi
bly as much as SO to 40 per cent
of the Japanese domestic wheat crop
and much of this was accoutted
for in sweet goods, in in; so cheese
and in soy sauce.
