IRISH TO FIGHT FOR
U.S.LINEN TRADE

DUBLIN, Feb. 1s.-Ths Irish people
are bent upon achieving two things,
when they are not busy with political
questions. The first is the capture
of the American linen trade and the
other Is winning Of a big share OF
the tourist traffic from America
Before the war ireland supplied
about half Of Americas manufac-
tured linen goods. At the time her
chief competitors were Germany and
Holland. During the war most Of the
mills were converted to war work in
Ireland But steps are under way to
resume operations on q bigger scale
than ever before.
With regard to the tourist traffic.
Queenstown Is already on the alert.
The shipping interests there are
handicapped by the decision Of Amer
lean mail steamers to cease calling
there and have launched a campaign
to get them back. and more.

PETER FINDS THE LOST MILK
By the Story Lsdv

Mamma got a pint bottle of milk morning and evening for Baby Paul. She sent Patty out on the porch to get it one evening and Patty re- ported that the clean bottle and ticket were gone and there was no milk out there.
 Mamma felt sure that the milk man would not take the ticket without leav- ing the milk, but she went out and looked and could find nothing.
 Norah said she heard the milkman on the back porch but she had been so busy that she hadn't brought it in just then.
 In the meantime Baby Paul got hun ghy and mamma had to give him some of the milk the rest of the family used and she didn't like it a bit. Neither did Paul and he fretted all the while he took it.
 When he was ready for bed, mamma sent Peter in after his nighties and told him to turn down the covers on Pauls bed.
 Peter did and came back looking rather scared.
 Mamma, there is something funny in the baby's bed. Come and seei"
 So mamma went in the nursery and turned on the light and there in Paurs bed was the missing bottle of milk.
 He's gettin awful bad to take things" said Peter shaking his head. What on earth are we goin' to do with that child. mammal"
