SPECIAL SALE ON SOAP THIS WEEK SEE OUR WINDOW , BISHOP GIVES SOUND ADVISE ACADEMY PROGRAM YESTER DAY POPULAR Bishop O'Reilly Principal Speaker to Students The closing exercises of Sacred "Heart Academy were held yesterday afternoon' in (Academy Hall before a large crowd of parents and friends. A program of vocal and instrumental 'music of a high order of excellence interspersed with recitations,' drills and tableaus was presented by the children and elicited heatty applause. The Gregg Banners awarded to the" school for advanced work in commer cial branches were prominently dis played. Only four of these have been awarded m tho State of Oregon, the Oregon Agricultural College, Sacred Heart Academy, and schools in As toria and Medford being the recipi ents. The address to the graduates was made by Right Reverend Charles J. O'Reilly, D. D., Bishop of Baker. In the course of his remarks the Bishop brought out the fact that Catholic schools are neither established to de velc(p any creed nor to antagonize secular . schools, and that secular schools are indispensable to the state in the training of a vast number of hnon-Catholic citizens. "I believe," said Bishop O'Reilly, "there should be a unity in education as there is a unity of truth. And I believe that to be the true education which preserves this unity and has for its purpose the imparting of truth, both of tho natural and supernatural order. "Herein lies the philosophy of Cath olic education a .philosophy so simple that one would think it quite unneces sary either to offer an explanation or defence of it. For the one who' be lieves in the existence of God in His providence in the love and Interest He 'bears towards His children in this world, the propriety of training those children to know and love and serve Him must appeal as an esseintial fac tor in their training and development. "But again, as wo believe, to do our part in this world, to fulfill our obligation in society and as citizens, there is needed knowledge of things secular science exact and speculative, the truth and laws of nature, the facts and f ieures which by their acquisition fit the individual for the performance of his various duties. Hence the ne cessity of the best training in these things.- "This is the time of Catholic schools, to train the child in his duties to God and to fit him fop tho performance of his obligations of tho highest citizen ship. "Such a program cannot justly be referred to as narrow and sectarian as hostile to secular schools or to the spirit of the codntry or to the de mands of an exalted patriotism. The very opposite is the truth. A religi ous school is not established to bloa ter up a creed, for that creed must stand upon firmer foundations. "It is not established either to an tagonize secular schools. These lat ter have their province. And consid ering the many who belong to no re ligion, and, too considering the multi plicity of creeds, they are the best so lution the state can offer for the training of the diverse groups of citi zens. . ' , "And it should not be forgotten that Catholics pay their taxes for the support of the public schools, ' and recognizing the American principle of no "taxation: without representation" justly lay claim to a voice! and consid eration in all that makes for the ad vancement of the State schools. "The religious schools, instead of being opposed to the demands of pat riotism are, in fact, the promoters of that patriotism which springs from and is established in divine sanction and benediction. "Every page of history bears evi dence that they serve their country best who love and serve God most who refuse to .admit a divided allegi ance who remember the Gospel in junction that we should be subject to the .powers that be, since all power comes from God. "To you, graduates of Sacred Heart Academy, I would say, be practical in your religious duties, be pronounced - 1 yfMl , ml TAKE ONE HOME TO DAY Nothing gives me so much pleasure as to see a dairyman and his wife driving home with a U. S. Cream Separator in the wagon. It's plumb sure to cement our friendship, and add to my future business. The last "U. S." that left the store actually sold itself on its sanitary points alone. You see the wife was along, and she knew what it meant to keep one of those old disc type separators sweet and clean. JUST FOLLOW ME "Just follow me," I told these good folks, "and I'll take you through the United States Separator just like you were going through the U. S. Capitol." We started in with the cast iron bowl chamber, which in most separators is a rough, uncleanable catch basin for grease and slopped milk as unsanitary as can be. But in the U. S. Separator, there is a removable, non-rusting, sanitary lining for the iron bowl chamber, which absolutely prevents any spilled milk from coming in contact with the cast iron. But the mechanically washed skimming device itself is what made the big hit with the dairyman and his wife. , In most skimmers steel is used, and rust gets busy right away on the "thousand-and-one" different parts. In U. S. 1 Skimmers, nothing can rust; they are made of costly Nickel-Silver, abso . lutely non-rusting. , The frame of a United States Separator is open at the base, for easy cleaning. There are no exposed gears, pockets, or ledges to collect dust, grease, and milk. You can clean over it, around it, and under it. And here is another important sanitary argument that appeals to all practical dairy people. The bowl of the U. S. Cream Separator has openings at the bottom which keep it perfectly drained. Nothing stands in this bowl after v running. No slop over self and floor as with bowls that must be hand- emptied. SEEING IS BELIEVING I wish every dairyman in the country would take the time to look over a U. S'. while I act as "guide." Take an afternoon off, and drive in with your wife. Better bring the open wagon, for you will probably want to take one home. C. S. NORMS, President of Union County Co-Opp. Ass'n. in your patriotism, honor God, serve your country, be juBt, be fair in your dealings with all. "And all those duties, while spring ing from Christian teaching and ex alted patriotism, will find their inspi ration and their highest commenda tion, in that religious training where in youy.seo the God of nations guard ing and guiding the world's desti nies. "I am glad to see that in America there is that broad and tolerant spirit that willingness to understamd one another that desire to be mutually helpful, which means so much for our Catholic schools and people and would urge us all the Tuore to work united ly unto the dissipation of whatever prejudice or misunderstandings may still exist. . - "Young lady graduates, I .wish you every success in the years to come, and I would say to you in conclusion; Go into the world "with hearts throb bing with noble impulses, and inspired by the exalted ambitions for God and country which have been fostered in this splendid institution. And when the years of your youth have slipped away and the battle of life has left its scars on you, yor will come back some day, and renewing the associ ations of former years with these wans, recalling' tne memory or tne lessons you received in virtue and sci ence, fervently, honestly, and with your whole heart in your words, you win say in deepest gratitude uod bless you, Sacred Heart Academy May God's blessings rest upon the work you are doing in this community, and the noble and cultured women whose lives are consecrated to that work. May your future greatness ful ly realize the golden promises of your youth. And when the future historian shall compile the annals of the growth of this progressive section of the fair State of Oregoln, and shall record the various moral and intellectual forces which are shadowed in the horoscope of yeaTs, high upon the pages of its splendor may there appear the name of Sacred Heart Academy, one of the stiongest factors for true education of mind and heart in Eastern Oregon."
