POPE PIUS XI DEAD,
As "Pope of the Conciliation," who
after two years of negotiation with
the Italian government ended the 59
year old "Roman question"' and re-
gained temporal power, with rule
oyes, the 'Vatican City state, Pius X1
stood out., as one of the.most forceful
pontiffs ofmodern bin'1e5, His Holi-
ness passed away last Thursday.
Elected head oI the Roman Cath-
olic Church on 'February 6, 119212, he
became, :seven years later, the first
pope since Pius IX to reign as a tem-
poral as well as a spiritual sovereign.
He was tlhe first pontiff in '59 years to
extend pa'ternal greetings to the king,
queen and pninces of united Italy.
Delay in cleaning and grading seed
until a few days before seeding, is a
habit too common on many 'Ontario
farms, states John D. McLeod of the
Crops, Seeds and Needs Branch.
When the farmer finally 'becomes
seed minded be usually finds that the
quantity of grain in the 'bins is not
sufficient to, clean up the n'u'mber of
'bushels necessary to sow the requir-
ed number of acres. Such being the
case he .bas two alternatives, to re -
dine the wind 'blast and the amount
of small grains which should be re-
mo•ve'd•, or to 'purchase seed. In many
oases the .former plan is followed and
seed of inferior quality is sown, Mr.
McLeod says,'
The seed produced on many farms
may be equal to and possibly super-
ior to tba't grown by neighbors, It is

keep in close touch with the Spanish

On Dec. 5 he was stricken with
paralysis in both legs. He rallied
slowly for 'five days, then suffered a
relapse but by Dec. 12 was well

In similar vein he called upon the

The controversy flamed into open re-

Pope Pius frowned upon attempts to
organize a Catholic boycott, ordered
the priests to stay out of 'politics and

which different girls have been chosen
as queens; then comes the last grand
ball, when from all these queens there
is elected the 1fieCareme Qeieen of
Beauty.
The girls are all working. girls,—
typewriters, shop girls, modistes,
seamstresses, models, 'hairdtessere.--
all pretty, charming and full of fun.
To be chosen the 'Queen of Beauty is
to a Parisienne the great event of her
life. Her robes are all given her by
one or another of the great depart-

elle may give her a mantle 'trimmed

lingerie—all of 'which have been pro-

and have to show to her children s
children, a jewel more ,precious to her
than any that she could 'have 'bought
on the rue de 1a 'Pale.
The first Lent after the body of the
Unknown Soldier had 'been placed in
the tomb under the Arch of Triumph
it was decreed by the Lords of Mis-
rule, who preside over Mi-Careme,
that the gay maskers and tnerrymak-
ers should go to the tomb and that the
Queen should place a wreath upon it.
When the Queen -elect was told ,hie
she murmured •brokenly, "I 'can't, do
it. Ce n'est pas possible."• •
';Not go to the tohnb of the Un-
known Soldier! Why not indeed? •If
she will not, we will have another
Queen." So said the managers.
Tho• dark -eyed Queen -elect raised
her head and said, "My sweetheart
and my father and my brothers went
to the war, and two of them did not
come back, I honor the tomb of the
Unknown Soldier as m'u'ch as anyone,
but it is a place for the tears of or-
phans and of widows; it is a place for
prayers and resolutions, but it' is no
place for maskers and revelers. I can-
not do it."
The managers replied, 'You are
right. The parade shall not go up to
the Arch."
:On 'Mi-Careme as her boat came
slowly up•the rue Royale towards the
Madeleine she sat on a throne high
above the heads of the crowd, with
her ladies-in-waiting grouped grace-
fully at her feet. She waved her bou-
quet of violets and yellow mimosa
from the south of France and threw
kisses to the upper windows, which
were filled with spectators. She looked
more than a Carnival Queen --she
seemed a veritable Queen of France.
But early the next morning one who
passed through the Etoile and stop-
ped a moment at the tomb of the Un-
known Soldier taw a 'bouquet, with
the night dew still on it, dying on top
of the wreaths that were piled high
on the tsmb. It was of violets and
yelow mimosa from the south of
