land in it's present situation, as the
general resources of Ireland. The
greatest industry that Ireland has is
farming. A glance at the economic
history of Ireland, however, reveals
the fact that farming in Ireland is
rapidly resolving itself into the cattle
trade-a condition in which most peo-
pie acquiesced unthinkingly, not being
aware that around this industrial st
uation centers fifty per cent of the
Irish question" Today, If Ireland
had been permitted to pursue her
peaceful occupation of farming, there
would be no need of fear Of a famine.

ST. THOMAS women
JOIN THE RED CROSS
Hundred Parishioners Enlist After
Address on Work by Mrs. Ed

A splendid group of more than 100
patriotic women of st. Thomas parish
met last Tuesday at the home of
Mrs. H. l.. Ritzel, $500 Zenith avenue,
to listen to an address by Mrs. Ed.
mund Pennington upon the work of
the Red Cross. Following the meet
ing, the whole group enlisted under
Mrs. Pennington's direction to perform
whatever service she and directors of
the Red Cross might ask of them.
Mrs. Pennington was invited to meet
the women of st. Thomas parish and
to address them by Rev. M. O'Brien,
pastor. He expressed his apprecia-
tion of the splendidly practical talk
which Mrs. Pennington gave and said
that as result 100 per cent of the
women of the parish would devote
time each week to Red Cross work,
paying each time for the privilege of
working, just as they have done in
the past for the benefit of the church.
Mrs. Pennington is hoping to be able
to send to them each week an instruc.

scarcity in the town, the outlook is
not promising. Many plotholders and
even farmers were also present to
purchase potatoes for seed. During
the week dealers visited farmers at
their own homes and purchased pota-
toes from those willing to sell, and to
some extent this accounted for the
scarcity in the market, though in
other years potatoes were also bought
at the farmers homes, and plenty
were still available for marketing in
the usual way. During the week prac-
tically all the Ballymena bakers have
largely increased their sale of bread,
and this was stated to be due in a
great measure to the abnormal scare.
ity of potatoes. Public feeling in re.
gard to the holding up of supplies by
farmers has been intensified by the
continued shortage in the town, and
it is expected that drastic action will
shortly have to be taken by the Gov
ernment to relieve the present situa
tion.

KNIGHTS Of Columbus Plan

National Movement lnaugurated in
Denver Will Enlist Support Of All
the Members in the Country.

1Q pTOVluo IuDerCulOSlS SduaIO'
rum for Knights OF Columbus, ma
tional movement has just been inau-
gurated in Denver, Colo. A joint COM
mittee of the Fourth Degree Assem-
bly, Council, Knights of Columbus, has
been named to communicate with
every Grand knight of the Order in
the United States and Canada, and
also with all State Deputies, urging
action in this necessary work. Seven
teen hundred and fifty letters are to
be sent out within the next few days.
Denver Council started the project
by instructing it's delegates to the next
State Convention to introduce or sup
port resolution asking the Supreme
Convention to act on the sanatorium
proposition.
The details of the movement will be
left with the Supreme Convention or
Supreme Board of Directors. John H.
Reddin of Denver a Supreme Direc-
tor, has informed the local committee
men that the question has been up be-
fore the board several times, but one
reason why it has not succeeded has
been that sanatoriums conducted by
fraternal societies have generally not
proved successful. For this reason
the local men think that the Knights
should merely build and perhaps en-
dow the sanatorium, then turn it over
to an order of Sisters, who would be
placed in complete charge without fur.
ther interference from the Knights OF
Columbus. John Leo Stack, chairman
of the committee in charge, suggests
that an assessment of 81 be put on
each member of the society. This
would raise fund large enough tc
erect a sanatorium and also endoW
it, perhaps establishing enough of an
endowment to care for all tuberculal
members of the Order. This, too, il
a detail which must be worked out by
the Supreme Conventions or Directo
rate.
Following is the resolution passed
by Denver Council and which is ex
pected to be passed by all other coun
ellis of the Order:

of this council to the 1917 State Con

IRISH SUFFER FRONT
POTATO SCARCITY
Worst in Forty Years-Provisions
Never So Dear-Scenes in Markets
MANY Farmers Fined for Sell
ling for Higher Prices Than
Allowed Under Realm Act.

In Dublin the situation as regards
the supply of potatoes was even more
acute April 1, according to recent dis
patches. There were practically no
potatoes coming into the city, and the
shortage is becoming more accentu-
ated.
A leading factor stated that it was
practically impossible to secure sup
plies from the country. The farmers
were all holding up their stocks in
anticipation of the increased price in
April, and could not be got to sell un-
der ELL per ton. 1t was not at all
improbable that the price of G1O per
ton fixed by the Food Controller for
April would be put in force immedi-
ately, and fixed as the price for the
season. That was the only way in
which the situation could be relieved
and famine in the staple food of the
poorer classes prevented in Dublin.
No potatoes arrived at Strabane
Market on Tuesday, and there is
scarcely stone in the various shops.
The shortage in the urban district is
becoming acute. 1t is alleged there is
no scarcity in the rural districts. 1t
is generally believed that farmers are
boarding them for larger prices, but
some state that they cannot bring po
tatoes in until they have seeded their
land,
i Following the announcement that
the Government proposed, If neces
sary, communicating stocks of pota
toes for seed purposes IL they were
not brought out to the markets, it was
expected by some that there would be
large display in the Ballymena mar
ket on Saturday, but this did not prove
to be the case, and for the third weel
in succession the Fair Hill was prac
