laying down his life for the very same
principle which took many of us across
the ocean during the recent great con-
flsct.
But what is the cause of all this
murder, devastation and plunder? 1t
is a means which is used by the Eng
fish government to gain her end,
which is to crush the spirit of the
people and make them subject to her
rule.
What is this boon that the Irish
people seek? 1t is the right to gov
ern themselves without interference
by any outsider. In a general election
held in December, 1918, the-people of
ireland elected a president and repre-
sentatives of native parliament and
British rule in their country The
British government under whose
auspices this election was held has
since been Numbering the people of
ireland for their efforts to maintain
the government which their votes
brought into existence.
England has turned loose in that
country, TO do as they will, her black
and tan police force-compoSed of the
very lowest type of manhood, q fact
proven by the deeds, which are eerti-
fled to by eye-witnesses. Some of
these ruffians, who have been taken
out of English prisons and. placed in
the black and tan force run wild over
the country so that the lives of the
people are in constant danger, their
homes apt to be plundered and burned
at a moments notice without any re-
dress or recourse whatsoever. Yes,
It was only on the third day of this
present month that sehoolmate OF

full specimen of manhoea-who held

given the signal to halt by the fore
going peace protectors" Presum-
ably he did not hear their call and
the result was that a bullet pierced
his heart and his pockets rifled. The
poor fellows name was Mortimer
Duggan and he lived at BFeadfoFd,
Limerick. What a condition to obtain
in an enlightened age!
But this is only little insight into
the real conditions which prevail there
and space will not permit my geing
into detail. Thru Irish fields where
the shamrocks grow now flows a large
river whose waters are Redeemed by
the blood of her people; streams of
blood are continually flowing, and
those people over there, who have not,
as yet, fallen victims, in their distress,
turn their eyes towards ever generous
America and with tears fmplore, 1--WE
need you. We need your support to
put a stop to the massacre of human
life" THOMAS ]. BRENNAN.

IRELAND IS IN NEED
Thomas j. Brennan Tells What Irish
People Want.

Editor Topeka State Journal:
There are several countries in need
OF assistance at the present day, such
as China. where thousands are dying
daily of starvation; Austria, where the
want of all necessities of life is still
very great Poland, where for six years
contending armies have wrought de-
vastation; Germany where the white
plague is finishing the work begun by
malnutr.tion; also several others, but
there is another country in need-most
in need-and more in need than any
that YOU can mention. 1t is Ireland,
where people are being murdered each
day, where homes are laid desolate and
the fate of whose womanhood is al
ways in Jeopardy.
On being informed of the happen
ings over in that unhappy country,
what a thrill is sent thru the veins of
every person, and especially every per-
son in whose veins flows Irish blood

"BUSTIN'" THE CLAYS
IN LATIN AMERICA
Always Popular in Canal Zone, Trap.
shooting Now Enters Nicaragua.

While we hear much of trap shoot
ing in the United States it should
not be forgotten that the sport has
spread for beyond the boundaries of
the country in which it originated.
1t has for years been a popular sport
on the Canal Zone, there being sew
eral live clubs there and tits now
about to find strong foothold in
one of our neighboring Latin-Ameri-
can countries, Nicaragua.
For some years past there have
been efforts on the part of American
and foreign residents of Nicaragua
introduce trapshooting in that
country, but owing to the opposition
of past governments on the importa-
ton of firearms and the high duty on
ammunition the sport has languished
Now, however. it has strong
champion in the shape of the presi-
Dental candidate, DR.. Marcos E.
Velazquez, and it is certain that in
the event of his accession to the
presidency on January 1, 1921, trap
shooting will be one of the national
sports.
i A Nicaraguan by birth, DR.. Valaz-
quez was educated in the United
States and has for years past been
closely associated with the Ameri-
cans of the Canal Zone He is a
member of the Balboa Gun Club and
of the Ancon Pistol & Rifle Club and
can be seen practically every Sunday
on the range at Balboa, c. T., en-
gagged in practice as has been his
custom for years.
DR.. Valazquez has already made
plans for putting the small gun club
composed of foreign residents of
Nicaragua. substantially on its feet
on his succession to the presidency
and at the capitol city Managua there
will be a trapshooting club, fostered
by the government and open to all
persons of good character and respon-
sibility. 1t will be operated on lines
similar to those of trapshooting clubs
of the United States and if possible
will be affiliated with the States Or
CARNATIONS.
In addition there will be rife and
pistol shooting along the lines laid
out by the National Rife Association
and the United States Revolver AS

Alumni Day at State College.

Many old-timers will return to the
STATE College for Commencement
week and will cente' their interests
on Alumni day, June 9, just one lay
previous to the commencement exer-
cises. The class of &c will be mi
tiated into the alumni organization.
Harry Chambers, the graduate man.
ager and chairman of the Council of
Alumni Interests, is planning on an
elaborate program and will also bring
up some business matters at the
alumni banquet at Ferry hall. A
number of important speakers are on
the program and large attendance
is expected.
This is an annual affair at the
State College. as it serves the o,'uT-
pose of getting the alumni together
and at the same time affOrding them
the opportunity of attending the COM
mencement exercises.

from naming either the man or the

not the basis on which a president of
the United States should be chosen.
/ Again, it is no part of my scheme

OF the treaty fight, or on the recent
dealings of the shipping board with
captured German liners, but | should
feel cOwardly if | did not protest
against some of the arguments used
in both of those controversies-argu
ments which proceed on the assump-
ton that the whole world. and Great
Britain in particular. is directing its
policy with the idea of slipping some
thing over on the United States. The
in the period of reaction through
which we are passing, has been acting
in her own nterests-ourselver as
much as any. But that is a long
way from saying that our policy or
that of any other nation is to slip
things over on the those who should
be our-or their best friends. 1t
doesn't matter as much as some peo-
pie think the way we settle any polit-
ical question, but it does matter what
our motives are in arriving at a con-
clusion. Neither fagwaving nor
abuse makes an issue clearer.
In splendid contrast with the raw
ings Of yellow journals and yellow
politicians on both sides of the Allan
tic is the attitude of an American
business man who has been visiting
Europe recently. This man is the
head of big corporation which all
of us have damned many times. His
errand over here was purely bust
ness one. But he said: I'VE must give
Europe credit. and we must set aside
for her fair share of raw materials.
We should be crazy to attempt to
steal her markets, even though we
know that as soon as we get her onto
her feet she'll be our strongest COM
petitor. Neither of us can prosper
without the other"

HOW TO MARKET WOODLAND

Success of Numerous Farmers Co.
operative Associations Points Way
to Securing Returns on Many
Wooded Tracts Now UnprOfit-
able.

By utilizing the by-products of their
business and handling them in large
quantities many concerns have added
materially to their profits.
There is a valuable object lesson
in this to farmers in many parts of
the country who have not been mar
keting the products of their wood
lands. Most farmers have not real
lied that timbered areas can be made
to yield a regular crop which
could be counted a profitable by-pro-
duct, if not a principal product-nor
do they appreciate the benefit that
would come through handling the
output of the woodland in such large
quantities as is possible through CO.
Operative effort. There are more than
1880 cooperative purchasing and
marketing organizations among the
farmers of the United States, and
Forest Service experts in the United
States Department of Agriculture be-
lieve that the principle on which these
association have succeeded can be
applied to handling woodland pro-
ducts in many parts of the country.

A cooperative association of wood
land owners should represent a suffi-

Mark Each Egg.

The first step in the work is the
recording by a leg band number or
some other accurate means Of idcnti-
/ fcaton Of the male and female which
have been mated together. With the
aid of q trap nest each egg is identi-
fed and Immediately marked with
the number of the hen that laid it.
The eggs from one hen are put into
a separate wire basket or netting bag
in the incubator. BY this means
each chicken. when it matches, will
be inclosed and have a label on it
which will identify it with its dam.
When the chick is removed from
the incubator band is put on the leg
with an individual number. This is
also recorded in the chick index.
When not more than 16 hens are
kept, the toe punch can be used sue
cessfully for identification purposes.
The punch is made in the web of the
baby chicks foot. All chicks by the
same dam are given the same toe
punch. To make sure that the holes
haven't grown together, it is an eX-
cellent plan to go aover the chickens
about two weeks after the first punch
and if the hole has filed in, punch it
out again. This usually results in
permanent mark.
When leg bands are used the chicks
must be looked over frequently to
make sure that the bands are not be-
coming too tight. A tight band will
prevent proper circulation and might
cause fatal injury. Regular inspec-
ton, however, will avoid any such
danger
Putting Ring in Wing.
When the chick is about 6 weeks
old the band is removed from leg and
inserted in the wing. To do this. one
of the chickens wings is spread and
held against the light. A point is
selected about one-fourth of an inch
from the edge of the wing where
there are no large blood vessels anO
with a small pen-knife clean incis
ion is made. There will be little Of
no bleeding from the wound. One
end of the band is slipped through the
hole and the ends are brought to
gether. If there is no fastening the
ends are simply Tapped. The rims
should not be pressed together or the
circulation will be cut off and the
chicken may lose the band. Wher
the fastening is completed, the bant
should be in ring form.
This wing ring gives a permanent
mark which will last years. Usually
however, when the chicken reaches
maturity. the breeder puts on les
band in addition as this is easier tt
read. Better still, band is put or
each leg so if one is lost the bird still
can be identified.
