" Champion" and Webster Agree OUR friend WEBSTER, in his revised edition, gives the following definitions, which agree with . ours ; hence our defiant attitude on behalf of the WORKERS during the last SIX YEARS/ TRUST—' An organisation formed mainly for the purpose of regulating the supply and price of commodities, &c, as a sugar, steel, or flour trust.' COMBINE — ' To form a union, to agree, to coalesce, to confederate.' - , ASSOCIATION — ' Union of persons in a company or society for SOME PARTICULAR PURPOSE; as the American Association for the advancement of science ; A BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION.' tf.B.— WE ARE IN NO WAY CONNECTED with any of the above concerns ; free in every respect, and , we intend to remain so, with the WORKERS' assistance. t ' WORKERS, we are benevolent to a degree. This you know, and we must bashfully admit it, also exponents of the science - known as the NOBLE ART when danger is hovering round you, fully verified in our recent tussle with those ' RIGHT AT .THE TOP,' and the long combat with the FLOUR TRUST, which naively poses as an association. But with your valuable assistance, we are STILL ' CHAMPION. 1 The only matters that baffle your CHAMPION are advancing wheat markets, caused by -droughts and shortages throughout the world, and we crave your indulgence until the laws of Nature have adjusted them - So kindly rally round your "CHAMPION STANDAED" once more, and the victory is yours. NORTHERN ROLLER MILLING CO., LIMITED. P. VIRTUE, Manager. THE CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA AN INTERNATIONAL WORK OF REFERENCE, IN 15 VOLUMES. BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED. The following are typical appreciations : Pius X. to the Editors and Contributors of The Catholic - Encyclopedia. „ Most Reverend John M. Farley, Archbishop of New York. Most Illustrious and Reverend Sir, — Through" yout good offices, the- Holy Father hag lately received the first volume of the (illustrated) Catholic^ Encyclopedia, which is to be' followed by fourteen other volumes. Quite apart from the rich binding especially prepared for his Holiness, and from the numerous remarkable illustrations which enhance the value of the work, and which charm the reader by their perfect artistic finish, the Holy Father notes with a special satisfaction the im-v portance and practical utility of this new encyclopedic - work. To collect and publish in a form so attractive for the English-speaking world where there are still so many non-Catholics, the magnificent and immortal achievements of # the Catholic Church and her "children in the domains of science, - literature, and art cannot but be an enterprise eminently helpful and -beneficent. Moreover, as the preface of the first volume explicitly states, the purpose of the work is to set forth the immense benefits conferred through the Catholic Church on mankind, not only by furthering moral '~ and social development, but also by promoting civil, scieriti- * fie, and artistic growth and progress. In conclusion, the Holy Father- heartily congratulates the efficient editors and . their collaborators on the first happy fruit of their labors; he encourages them to continue with zeal the great task. to ' which they have set their hands, and as an earnest of his" special good will he bestows on each of them his Apostolic benediction. _ "' ' ' I avail myself of this welcome occasion to assure your Grace of my-very profound esteem, etc., etc. (Signed) - R. CARD. MERRY DEL VAL. Rome, December 1, 1907. From his Eminence' Cardinal Moran, Archbishop K of Sydney: . . . The Encyclopedia is a marvellous undertaking. ... " * From his Eminence Cardinal Gibbons, Baltimore: ." . . . It ought to be, of course, in the library of every Catholic priest, also in the library of every Catholic institution, educational and charitable, and in the library or assembly-room of every Catholic society. Above all, it ought to be in the library or living-room of every Catholic family in every English-speaking country. . . , ' - T For terms, prospectus, and other particulars, apply to H.
