CARDINAL ACIIILLE RATTI
Cardinal. Achille. Ratti. aniv

years papal nuncio in. Po'and where
his discharge of important ecclesi
astical functions when the Polish
question .beeanle acute e-.nod for
him the esteem of Benedict XV and
the gratitude of. Vatican authorities.
It was because of this service that
the red hat was conferred upon him
on June 10. 1921, when a similar
honor was bestowed on Cardinal
Lauren ti.
Cardinal Ratti was born in Desio,
Italy on March 31, 1S37. For m-iny
years he was librarian of the Ambro
sian library and archives at Milan.
Later he became librarian of the
Vatican. In this position he re
mained until the new republic of Po
land established official ' diplomatic
relations with tho Vatican . at which
time Ratti was appointed archbishop
and was assigned to Poland as the
representative of the Holy See.
That country was then torn with
the ' estrangements from rciigio'n
brought about by the com uunistic
propaganda lirom Soviet Russia and
Archbishop Ratti counteracted the
spread of radicalism. He ak-io won
the esteem of-Polish Catholics by his
efforts' in behalf, of destitute children
(,'rphii.ned by Ihe wil."
Cardinal R id i as the Archbishop
if Milan presides over one of the
most important archdiocese:- in It

When I asked Luther Burba nk how
miich land is really necessary for the
average. man to use, he replied:.
"A thousand acres fc'r an Indian,
a hundred acres for . a farmer, ten
acres for an orchadist, one acre for
a good market gardener, ; half an
acre for a flower or seed man. and
for experimenter like mse'f, a
graveyard lot will do."
In the scientific and intensive use
ef the soil, we have nut touched tit
hem of the garment of this country
as yet. We have run to broad acres
of speculation to machinery and hir
ed men. We are ' just now at the
dawn of a new 'and "infinitely finer
day. Not broad acres, but little
lands; not speculation, but home build
ing: not the guidging labor of hire
lings, but the loving .labor of self
employing propritbrs -tKeseare the
signs' and tokens of. the new'1 day. Of
that day Lutixexjiurbank 'is' the
