The United States had a minister there until re- cently, and it is now expected that another will be sent there. It is an interesting fact that the Why Ghrnrpra ANY YEARS AGO when my father told me that he had purchased a lot and intended to erect a grocery store 1 was one of the happiest boys in the world. 011 manl'l I thought, now I shall be zlble to wait on people, and eut 2111 the candy I want. Such were tiny two secret ambitions. For :1 while I liked my work, but after I had become sick from overeating a few times, and received severe seoldings from customers for making mistakes in their accounts, durk clouds began to appear on the horizon of my happiness. I shall now present the picture of a groceris life as I see it after seven years of experience. The iirst and hardest part of it is the chain store, competition. No independent grocer ealn compete with the chain store, because the latter buys its commodities in very large quantities. thereby obtaining them for muvh less, 21nd eon- sequently enn sell cheaper. Then there is the credit which he must extend to his customers. while he himself has only a few days to pzly his own bills. Some customers will never make a purchase without complaining about the price and remarking how much cheaper they muld get it at the ML and P. Then they conclude their purchases saying, HCharge it 1 Oh. how that cuts. be .ause you know how much credit is issued in a chain store. Another rough spot in the life is waiting upon certain customers. Allow me to introduce Mrs. 1. Knoekitt. She enters the store and. upon looking around. sees a few flies, which, no matter how hard you tried to kill them, were always able to keep out of your way. She makes a remark about Hall the flies, then orders a half pound of butter, and before allowing the clerk to wrap it, demands that she look at it, and also smell of it, because pagan nation of Japan has an envoy at the Vatican. It certainly is to the credit of both the lead- ers, Pius and Mussolini, that the long-standing Roman Question has been settled. Let us now hope that the Church and God benetit by this momentous change in the Pope's situation. eCLETUs A. WEITZER. Evan? 15mm she ujust detests butter when it ain't fresh? She then sees'u box of peaches and asks if they are ripe. KVhen told that they are, she thumbs them. and squeezes every one, to be sure that you didnt lie, and after succeeding in bruising;r them so badly that they will spoil within a day, she decides that she Hwill let them go for this time and not take any.U After buying a few things she uguesses that will be all, and when told the amount of her bill, it is remarkable how she keeps from fainting, it is such a shock to her. After she arrives home she remembers something she forgot, or perhaps was undecided about buying while at the store, and phones wondering Hif someone can bring it overfi Another euuse for worry t0 the grocer is the dead beat. He is a liberal buyer and pays for what he gets without a question. Finally he has to leave town on account of his Inother-in-law's death. and returns, the picture. of sorrow and misfortune. then he comes into the store again. he tells a hnrtl-luek story. and asks if he can have :1 little Htrust. If given this credit. he is very prompt at paying as soon as he receives his first pay eheek. This is only a bait. however, and he continues to come for a little more, until iinully he leaves you with a large account against him. and goes to another city. never to be seen again. These are but few of the dark and discourag- ing sides of :1 groceris life. In time, I suppose. there will be no independent grocer, and in his steed there will be a large consolidation of stores run by one manager, and then, when the people have no other place to go, watch the prices go up. And what will those unhappy men who were at one time owners of small stores do? Why. they Will turn to digging ditches and tiring furnaces for a rest.

f x 533-3-593-3-3-3-333le ERCaQe-ch-e-cz-cz-ee-e- cad: ZHm'PmPll PREPARATIONS had been made. and now I was about to leave home, and all for nine months in order that I might prepare myself for the holy priesthood. I had intended to enter the Seminary. but there being no room for more students I decided to take up my tirst year's work at Pio Nono. I was peacefully sleepingr when the day of my departure had already dawned. At the call of my father I arose, and dressed in silence. I then whispered a short 11 'ayer that leaving: home might not affect me. Later I attended Holy Mass. whieh I offered up for a spet-ial intention, namely. that 1 might have Goals blessing: upon me while on the jour- ney. After Mass I returned home and assisted my brothers in performing several odd jobs about the place. This afforded me great joy, for it was the last time that I could be with them. Finally the longed-for hour hatl arrived. It vas 12 :00 M. Yes. my vacation had come to a close. Only two more hours remained in whieh I eould enjoy the happiness of seeing my be- loved ones. Again I whispered a short p 'ayer. for I saw some awful moments ay'aiting me. but. it being my desire to labor in the yineyartl of my Lord. I endeavored to behold the bright side of them. It was a great undertaking. and at times my eourage almost failed. My clothes had not yet been paeketl. and for this reason we spent no time in useless speenh while at table. Just as we were about to paek my trunk my sister came home from school, bringing my identification tapes. These had been ordered on time, but arrived rather late for some reason or other. XVell. the only thing to be done was to sew them on my clothes. so we all got busy. and at 2:00 P.M. I was ready to leave. After receivingr a mere handshake from all I was to leave, the world. That parting alone I shall never forget. My father then took me to the station, where a deaf-mute was awaiting me. I met him and was placed under the obligu - tion of conducting him to Saint Francis. IVhile awaiting the arrival of the 2:35 IAM. train. my father gave me some necessary and very Valu- able information. The train arrived, and having bidden my fa- ther a hearty farewell. I went aboard. XVords can- not express how I felt when I began my journey and beheld my dear father standing: beside the progressing t'ain. never more to be seen for nine lonu months. The only consolation I had while on the t'ain was It .ayer. whieh I made use of frequently. I had never been on a train be- fore, and having just left home. I was unable to speak to anyone lest perhaps I would reeall the past more distinctly. Soon I arrived in Omaha. where I had been but once before. and that was just three months previous to this time. I was now confronted with the awful task of ehangingr trains. but this too was soon overcome. I met Vernon Laird, who was goingr to Saint F'aneis. It y'as his desire to have me aeeonmany him, and without hesitation I consented to do so. Soon night presented itself, and after having traveled for several hours. I ate a little luneh which had been prepared by my mother before I left home. 011. how I dreaded to eat that luneh in solitude. It y'as the last meal my dear mother had prepared for me. and certainly she had prepared it as best she knew. Now she wts no longer near. and now did I first realize how much she had tlone for me. Now. and only now. did I fully know the meaningr of the word home. Being quite fatigued after a day of solitude and lonesomeness. I fell into a peaeeful repose. The moon had already risen when I awoke: the scenery y'as beautitietl by its light. and all ob- jeets tliseernible. I watehed for the Mississippi River and saw it for the tirst time. I was seized with great wmuler when I entered tlhieago. You might imagine how I felt at sight of so large a eity. having come from :1 9111111 town of only two thousand inhabitants, Every- thing I saw was unknown to me. and to tell the truth. I felt lost. I soon found myself on the home stretch. whieh y'as of greatest interest to me. To my right lay the lake. and to my left were the large dairy farms and extensive fields of onions eab- bagre. and other vegetables. Roeks of all sizes were seen lying almost everywhere. The sight of these struek me in particular. for. as you undoubtedly all know. Nebraska has no natural roeks. Then too. I took spet-ial notice of the eountry being: more, thickly wooded than any I had ever yet seen. At last my journey had come to an end. As I set foot upon XVist-onsin ground several unpleas- ant thoughts tllshed through my mind. Slowly. and overburdened with lonesomeness. I entered Pio Nono. -IGNA'I'IUS C.
