—HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING, THE PLACE:

Next Saturday, February 28th at 1 o 'clock a meeting of the men interest­ed- in more and better live stock' for Morrison county will be held in the new high school building. This meet­ing was started by the men who are interested in Holstein cattle. Since the notices were sent out several of the men interested in the meeting have suggested that instead of having a meeting of the Holstein breeders only, it ought to be a meeting of all the breeders in the county. _ ,

Since this seems to be the opinion of many of the men interested in the meeting it has been decided to make this a meeting of all men interested in live stock in Morrison county. Every­body interested in live stock is invited to attend this meeting.

RULES FOR GUIDANCE OF X; . CATHOLICS

BRAINERD DISPATCH WRITES ON - PROSPECTIVE. CANDIDATES

IN THIS DISTRICT

{^Lenten xegulation8 issued by Bishop Igjines Trobee, of St: Cloud, were read Ht the local Catholic churchy at the #rvices Ash Wednesday morning. Tliey. fie as follows: n ; \ All days in Lent except Sundays are

•®Mt days. On -fast days the rule is: A cup of coffee, tea or chocolate in Ijjbe morning^ with a small piece of 6read; at noon one full,meal; and not ^cceeding one-fourth of a meal in the Evening. The evening meal should not meeed-eight ounces of solid food, and ill the morning not to exceed two ^ynees. Where it would occasion seri­ous inconvenience to take the full meal m noon, it may be taken, in the even-

i;9g, and. the collation earlier in the t fifty; .The u?e of flesh meats is allow-

at all meals on Sundays and at the jMEineipal meal on Monday, Tuesday, ^Thursday audi Saturday, except the Saturday of Ember week and the Sat­urday of Holy week, and the use of meats on all other days is forbidden llnd at other repasts 'outside the one full; meal. The use of lard is permit­ted at all times in the preparation of ibod. Both fish and meat cannot be taken at the same meal, even on Sun-flay. Those excused from the precepts of the fast are: ; Those under 21 and over 60; the in-

yfirm and convalescent; women ^ bearing pr nursing children; persons engaged in hard labor; persons who from pov,T *^rty are not able to procure a suffici­ent quantity of meat for the principal "J ieal. .From the precept of abstinence re exeused: Those under 7 years, the ick, and those who cannot ' procure bstinence food. Working people are permitted to use eat on all Lent days except Fridays, sh Wednesday and Wednesday and aturday of Holy week. Where the wage earner uses meat^

in virtue of the Jndult, all the mem; bers of:his household can do the samel

General Remarks 1 When doubt exists as to whether one's, condition or circumstances allow exemption from the precept of fast and abstinence, counsel should be asked from confessors or pastors, who are the authoritative interpreters of the law, and who are even empowered, in special cases, for good and sufficient reasons, indicated in Catholic theology^ to commute the < precept of fast and abstinence, to other penitential work.

! In enjoining upon the faithful fast | and : abstinence, Holy church makes a • practical application, of the evangeli-

law of seif-denial, of which the

teachers. Without self-denial there is no Christianity. Indeed, without self? denial there is no natural, morality. The man who has not acquired by habit the power of self-restraint will not be victorious over sin, amid the storm and temptations of iife .which all men must encounter.

The observance of the fast and ab­stinence, prescribed by the church, is taken by the world as a public and fearless profession of Catholic faith. He. who, without sufficient and ob­vious reasons, eats meat or takes, his usual meals .when abstinence or fast, is enjoined, is not accepted as a, practi­cal Catholic. . .

Let * Catholics have the courage of self denial for the sake of Christ and. of their souls, and be on their guard lest by their; stcts'scandal be given, and the fair name of their religion be dis­honored.'

During Lent, pastors wilT held at ap­pointed times in their several church­es appropriate exercises of' devotion,, and will give to' the faithful instruct, tions of a practical nature upon the articles of the creed, the command­ments and the sacraments. r

The devotion, of the Wiay of vthe Cross will be observed, when possible, in all churches and Chapels, on the Friday evenings throughout Lent. ,

- Brainerd Dispatch: The election of a le^slative ticket in this district, com­posed of Crow Wing and Morrisotf counties,, is being discussed quite free­ly -by the public as the time nears when filings will necessarily have to be made by; those who desire to serve the people in the capacity of law makers. At. the last session the law governing the number of representa­tives from this district, was changed and at the coming election three menu bers of the house and one member of the senate will have to be chosen. Each county will have a representativn who. will be voted for in the respective county only,, one representative at large who will be voted for in both counties, and the senator will also be voted on by the two counties. Under the law as it now stands party desig­nation is eliminated, and"^filings are made simply as individuals and not as. the representative of any party and' the names will so go on t&e ballot, and anyone who has the price and is a citi­zen can come before the people as a supplicant for votes for these posi­tions. Under the old caucus system the _ representatives of the different political parties called the people to­gether and determined who should rep­r e s e n t t h e m a s a p a r t y c a n d i d a t e a t i the election, this law being succeeded;: by that which provided for the filing of candidates designating their politi­cal faith, and in both cases the poli­tical affiliation was made known to the voters on the ballots. Today the non-partisan ballot is provided and the voters are asked to nominate and elect men whom they think will make the best servants of the people regard­less of their political affiliation, and it is the first trial of the law for mem­bers of the legislature. -The two candi­dates having the highest number of votes in each instance* that is the candidates for representative in each' county, the representative at large and the senator, in the case of this dis­trict, will be the nominees of the pri­mary election and their names will, be placed on the general election ballot for the voters to select from when casting their vote.

The only filing up to the present time is that of Geo. H. Gardner for the senate, but there are other gentlemen who are looking the field over _ with an idea of obtaining public sentiment to. guide them in their actions. Judge W. A. Fleming will probably file as a candidate for the house from Crow Wing county, although Ire has not fully made up his mind excepting * that he will be a candidate for one of the

'las tfeeii acW^"W%^^ tatives,' in feeling the public pulse on the senatorial question. Ole Erickson is said also to have aspirations in the senatorial matter and is looking the field over. C. W. tfouek, me of the present representatives and who- hails from Morrison county, will be a candi­date again and it is sai^. lie will file for senator when the tiriie arrives. Mr. Bouck has lboked the situation over in this county. Senator C. D. Johnson, will-, not be adverse to another term at the state capitol, . according to close friends.. L. D. Brown of Little Falls, also has his ear to the ground and it is generally understood that he will file for one of the legislative positions. Representative Vasaly. will probably become a candidate for reelection if the, pressure of his home county is suf­ficiently strong, and iif that event hi will probably be a candidate for Mor­rison county representative. It is quite likely that .there are other gentlemen Who are waiting the , filing of other candidates to determine their action along this .line, and it may develop some changes ih,theline up as to .which position those mentioned above may finally file for, as. a promising field for a county position , on, the legislative ticket wotUd be more ticing than an over cirowded.:fidd for' .a senatorM or "at large'.' esindidatb fbr. the house. In anv, event -the contest will be i® interesting one, - judging from the in­terest being taken and the. number who have .announced their determina­tion to get into the fight. .... J •
