Contest Gives Excitement.
Employes of the Spokane, Portland
& Seattle Railway and of the Oregon
Electric Railway, with their families
and sweethearts, went to Cascades,
"Wash., about three miles below Cas
cade Locks, for their annual excursion
fend picnic yesterday.
They made the round trip In a spe
cial train of 16 coaches, six of which
were hooked on 'at Vancouver, Wash.,
fend every last man, woman and child
had the good time of his or her life.
That means that nearly 1400 persons
had a happy day of it. for J. A. Rosen
claul, conductor in charge of the spe
cial, collected 1350 tickets, without
counting the North Bank band of 32
pieces.
Day for Picnic Ideal.
It would take a mighty grouchy per
son not to have had a good time under
the circumstances. To begin with, the
day was made to order for picnicking
and outdoor sports.
The long special train reached the
picnic grounds shortly after 10:30
o'clock, but the trip had made 'the ex
cursionists so hungry that there was
an Immediate opening of lunch baskets
In shady spots under the trees.
Actually those lunches went so fast
and appetites were so healthy that by
noon time, when the refreshments com
mittee was ready to serve free sand
wiches, coffee, milk, ice cream, lemon
ade and such things, some of the folks
were about ready to begin all over
Again. They kept the men behind the
lunch counter so busy for the rest of
the afternoon handing out sandwiches,
hot dogs and ice cream that they al
most fell in their tracks.
Pat Men Routed by Hnnser.
About the only persons who didn't
rush for tiffin the moment the train got
in were those implacable old foes, the
fat men and the lean men. They were
scheduled to play a baseball game. At
the last moment the fat men decided
they were too hungry to play, or some
thing, so the lean men had to play a
j-ickup team, the players of which
handicapped themselves by wearing
skirts.
The game broke up at the end of
the first inning, because the score was
to bis on both sides that nobody could
remember it.
At 1 o'clock, though, there was a real
ball game between teams represent
ing the Vancouver shops and the Ore-
Kon Electric shops. The Vancouver
thops won by a score of 8 to 0.
Following this came a medley of
Fport events, including foot races, sack
races, tugs-of-war, broad jumping.

Fisher grabbed him by a hind leg and
hung on till the judges awarded him
the porker, after Henry had twice pre
viously squirmed from the clutches of
disappointed captors. Henry evidently
had a projnonltion, as Mr. Fisher agreed
with his competitors to split his prize
three ways. This can only mean that
Henry is already as good as bacon.
Edna, the other pig, had better luck

of the Roman Catholic Church, the
papal delegate to the United States,
the papal nuncio to Brazil; scores of
bishops and other dignitaries, several
hundred priests and thousands of lay

annual convention of the National Fed
eration of German Catholics.
Seldom in the history of the church
has there been so noteworthy a gath
ering of ecclesiastics outside of Rome.
It was estimated that more than
8000 persons crowded into the cathe
dral, while twice as many congregated
outside to view the procession which
preceded the mass.
Pope's Benediction Received.
At the opening of the ceremonies
Monsignor Michael J. Lavelle, rector
of the cathedral, read a message from
Cardinal Gasparri, papal secretary of
state, in which he said:
"The Holy Father will watch with a
loving and paternal eye the federation
of Catholic sees of the United States
holding their annual convention in New
York. He sends earnest wishes that
their friendly discussion shall accom
plish much for the welfare and honor
of the Catholic name in your favored
land. While hoping for the most con
soling results from the convention, he
grants most heartily the apostolic ben
ediction to the federation and to all
who take part in it."

were erected within the cathedral

The annual report of Joseph Frey,
president of the Roman Catholic Cen
tral Verein. made public today, re
ferred to "the swaying attitude of
our Government" with respect to Mex
ico, and declared that "in the opinion
of our best thinkers and leaders of our
so-called prosperity, chiefly due to
traffic in munitions of war, will meet
with' an a,hrubt termination when
peace shall have been established."
Mr. Frey said that the members of
the society should not permit them
selves to arrow Indifferent In their en
deavors in behalf of the foundation of
a monument for the study of social
science. The report added:
"The closing of factories and plants,
with subsequent lack of employment
will necessarily emphasize social con
tracts and promote Increased social
istic propaganda. It then becomes our
patriotic duty to co-operate in equal
izing these contracts, as good Cath
olics and citizens, on a basis of Chris
tian solidarity."
Of Mexico, the report said:
"Our neighboring republic, unfortu
nate Mexico, cannot find quiet. Owing
to the swaying attitude "of our Gov
ernment, the perpetrators of Infamy
and crime against the Catholic church
and her -servants have taken hold of
the Government there. We hope and
pray that this poor country may soon
be granted a Just and peaceful govern
ment. I recommend the acceptance of
appropriate resolutions expressing our
opinion on this subject.
The church dignitaries, visiting del
egates and their friends attended a
mass meeting in Madison Square Gar
den tonight. Addresses were made by
Governor Whitman, Acting-Mayor
Dowling. Cardinals Farley, Gibbons
and O'Connell, the apostolic delegate,

Postal Inspector Charges Unlawful
Use of Mails to Promote Money
Lending Scheme In Guise
of Rural Credits Plan.
BOISE, Idaho. Aug. 20. (Special.)
Charged with using the malls unlaw
fully to promote a money-lending
scheme under the guise of the new Fed
eral land bank act. W. J. Hatch and J.
H. Doyle, general agents of the Inter
Mountaln Rural Credit Association, of
Salt Lake City, were placed under ar
rest at Caldwell today by a Deputy
united States Marshal. They gave
bonds of $3 000 and were directed to
appear for hearing before United States
Commissioner Stone on Thursday. Both
deny any wrongdoing.
The complaint, sworn to by Postofflce
Inspector Ballard, sets forth that on or
about August 12, 1916, Hatchand Doyle
"did unlawfully, willfully, knowingly
and feloniously devise a scheme or arti
fice to defraud various and divers per
sons." The scheme 'as summarized from
the complaint is as follows: That
Hatch and Doyle represented them
selves as assistant general agents of the
Inter-Mountain Rural Credit Associa
tion to sell Its stock: that this stock
would secure to the holder a loan of
1500 at 6 per cent interest at from five
to 85 years; that this proposition was
set forth In letters, one of which went
to Victor Gardner, of Caldwell.
In this letter Hatch and Doyle said:
"You are aware, no doubt, that a few
weeks ago the Federal rural credit sys
tem became a law, and since that time
the various commissioners have been
appointed and the organization Is now
perfected. About two weeks ago one
of the officers of this company was
called to Washington by the commis
sion, and as a result this association
has applied for and been granted a
charter under that act. and is now un
der Government supervision as a Fed
eral joint land bank, and practically
under tha same laws as National
banks. Of course this change now ab
solutely guarantees to Its members that
all loans will be made as promised."
The Government also sets forth In Its
complaint that Hatch and Doyle repre
sented to holders of the company's
stock that they would participate In the
earnings of the company.

"Food Is Its Own
Best Digestant
""All too frequently, we prescribe medicines for patients
who suffer from indigestion, when, as a matter of fact,
what they actually need is a simple course of dietetic train
ing, and the proper food-stuffs to train on.
, "This is -the famous 'reason' for the popularity of Grape Nuts
as an article of diet, viz., that it furnishes this very course of
training for the digestion. It not only furnishes the natural
diastase for the process of digestion, but it favors a return
to normal digestive function because the firm, crisp kernels
compel thorough mastication.
