Except in few individual instances, the produce men say, Arkansas apple growers do not ex- ercise the care in packing that is used by Eastern or Western growers

 For several weeks she had been an intense sufferer. and her constant prayer was for relief from pain ana for rest God in His all wise prov idence, answered her prayer in His own way. Without struggle she gradually seemed to sink into a deep CT sleep Before the dear ones around her could realize the transi- uon, God had claimed his own. Truly her years had been full of good works, and as part reward, she had been permitted to live out more than the allotted span of life.

ers Of the Irish people in the last one hun
bred years were Protestants. Father
Michael Phelan told members OF the Press
Club at luncheon Yesterday that the talk
that the Obstetrics would be prosecuted

forceful orator.
Father Phelan pointed TO Robert En-
met and John ParneI as examples Of
Protestants who had the endearinS sup
port of all Catholics I'm Ireland.
There IS not a shadow Of fact" Father
Phelan said, ito justify the impression
that the Catholics in the south of ireland
would prosecute the Protcstants in the
rorth If ireland had home rule. The
Protestants who live among the Catholics
I'm tho south are not afraid, and It is only
where the Catholics are one to four that
this talk is heard. After twelve months
Of home rule the people would laugh at
this old boyle
10 also spoke of the treatment Of Prot
estant children I'm ireland as proving that
the charge Of the Obstetrics was without
foundation.

lowed Father Phelans talk. IN which
Judge John NJ Wall and a number Of
others participated. The luncheon was
one OF the usual Thursday table talks.
