For the most part. however, the lit- tie plant is picked from it's native bogs and hollows. The South of Ire- land supplies the majority of the Irish and English markets. The moist and warm climate of Munster Is specially suited to the temper of the shamrock, which there takes deeper and ten- derer green than in the more northern counties. Even in Ireland the common clover and other plants are sometimes found doing duty for the genuine arti- cle But the deception becomes an- nually less practicable, since 1t is now a part of every Irishman's patriotism to be eonnoisseur in shamrock
 Mainly through the efforts of Lady the Shamrock Hourfshes exceedingly by the banks of the shannon and has. indeed. been turned to good account in connection with many useful. and even national.f purposes. The league was started eight years ago. shamrocks has become a sort, of subsidiary in- ,dustry among the people in the erfocal milk factories, many of which vera established by the late Sir Thomas Clecve. Tons of shamrock are sent annually to Limerick City. whence 1t is exported to England and America. The proceeds are devoted to the aid Of the Soldiers and Sailors Help Society in Ireland and other charitable objects. The league does a growing trade with the United States, Egypt and India, and the steady pressure of orders may soon lead to the establishment of regular Shamrock farm.
 The list of cases for trial at the forthcoming assizes for the country of Galway is the heaviest that the been recorded there for the past quar- ter of a century Among the charges are four of murder. for which six men will be indicted, one charge of shoot ing with intent to murder. one charge of firing into a dwelling-house, one charge of shooting and wounding. and one charge of intimidation.
 J. P. Farrell, Nj. P. for North Long ford and proprietor of the "Longford Leader newspaper has been released from Kilmainham jail on a medical certificate granted as the result of a consultation between two specialists. He had enjoyed excellent health up to a fortnight ago, when an old com plaint attacked him violently and caused considerable anxiety in the minds of the prison officials.
 MT. Farrell entered the prison on December 22 to serve term of six months in the second division, under the Act of Edward III, in connection with the land agitation.
 '"This is the fourth time I have been a political prisoner" he said after his release. His previous sentences were five months. three months, and two months Owing to insomnia on the last occasion he sometimes paced his cell for twenty-five hours of the twen- ty-four. He intends to proceed to the south of France to recuperate.
 At the Quarter Session in Roscom- mon, before County Court Judge Walk eley, a large number of civil bills and ejectments for rent were set down for hearing. It was stated that on some estates the civil bill officers had been unable to effect service. and the process had to be posted on the nearest courthouse. In reply to his Honor, one of the officers said that they had been threatened and hunted out of the dis trict by the crowds. Judge Wakeley granted decrees.

THAT is really hot Yes, it's the
l hottest place in New York where
men go and live afterward to tell the
tale. But few are hardy enough to
hear it.
This hottest place in New York is
In Desbrosses street in vulcanizing

aration of rubber. In the room
where this process takes place the
temperature rises to PIP degrees-1OO
degrees hotter than the hottest it may
be outside in the sun.
Man can endure no more.
Actually, there are some who can

The president will without the
least doubt carry out his promise
made to the people of the Terri
tories on his recent tri p through
Arizona and New Mexico and
will do all he can to help the
statehood cause. And there seems
to be no doubt but that it will
pass the House. Iuis not thought,
however, by those in a position
to know, that the bill will even
be considered until late in the
Spring as Congress will have SO
many other matters, which they
consider of more Importance to
consider.

EX President Roosevelt made a
vain effort, while president, thru
consultation with college presi
idents and football highbrows. to
ameliorate or humanize the foot
ball game. 1t was soon after his
effort that his son, who had Just
entered Harvard, had his nose
broken. In the last few days four
promising young men have met
death through this game. Col
lege presidents are preaching
against it, but such is the inten-
sitv of the craze that it is doubt
full if the recent terrible examples
will be potent for more than a
temporary check of the game
While a complete list of football
fatalities will not be made until
sometime in December the death
list to date makes it clear that if
the game is to retain it's hold on
popular favor radical revision in
it's rules must be made.

of the country seek the Capital

en- shirts, buttoned high about their
necks, and wooden masks and gloves.
Four or five minutes at the most in
the vulcanizing room is all they can
stand without collapsing, and some
can't even stay that long.
Outside these men, nobody is ever
allowed to endure such d frightful
heat. In fact, it is hard to convey
the idea of 212 degrees. You can get
the same degree of temperature by
thrusting your finger into boiling Wa
ter. Water boils at 212 degrees Fan
renheit.
No native born American can stand
such heat, and foreigners-Italians
and Sicilians-make the best hands
at such work and make up the STAFF
of employees in the vulcanizing room.
Even these hardy sons of southern
climes often collapse from the terri
fic temperature.
There are plenty of other hot places
in New York, but none to compare
with this. In some of the big hotels
it gets to 145 degrees in the great
kitchens. Cooks and helpers have 20
work in that temperature for hours
unprotected. There is d great differ
ence between 145 and PIP degrees
above zero, just the same. Some races
can endure a temperature of $50 de
grees without protection, but after
the mercury has passed the 10 or
1S0 mark it means death for anyone
to remain in it for any length of time

New Features Planned For Fifth An
nuaI Convention at Louisville.

Louisville, KY, Aug. 16.-There will
be some unique features developed
in connection with the fifth annual
convention of the Association Adver-
tising Clubs of America, which will
be held here August 1927, and which
will bring together the representatives
advertising agencies and industrial
concerns of the country.
One is the ''Kazoo Band" This or
ganiZatiOn is really an institution by
this time, for it has had charge of
the funmaking at the conventions for
several years. 1t is part of the Chi
cago Advertising Club, and some of
bers, Including E. d. Gibbs, president
of the national organization. Last
year it appeared in the guise of a
brass band, armed with papier mache
instruments.
The barbecue arranged for the sec
ond day of the convention will be
served by members of the local Ad-
vertisers' Club, who will add to the
zeSt of the occasion by appearing in
white aprons and the typical chefs
caps. The barbecue, with it's burgoo
and roast meats, is attracting as much
attention as the prospect of an un-
limited supply of mint julep. The lat
ter was one of the lodestones which
drew the convention to the Kentucky
city.
The convention will have it's own
daily paper. A Cincinnati publication
devoted to the advertising field has
that it will issue a special
each day of the convention covering
every detail of the gatherings. The
publisher has declared that he will
'scoop" the local dailies.
