K. OF c. EMPLOYMENT
KNIGHTS STILL PLACING EX-
SERVICE MEN IN POSITIONS
AVERAGE PAY $3.50 PER WEEK.

About this time last year tens of
and hurrahed in homecoming parades.
Now, many thousands of them are still
parading, but around city streets look
ing for work. A survey just COM
pleted by the eX-service mems en-
ployment service of the Knights of
Columbus shows that a large number
of men, after year in civilian life,
have failed to connect with perma-
nent jobs.
The X. of C. employment report
for the month of April, covering East
ern and Midwest States, shows that
1886 men were placed while 1880
opportunities were received. These
figures are duplicated by the western
division of the K. of G. employment
service. The Knights recently raised
the minimum wage they solicit for a
single man from SIS to $40 per week;
the average pay for jobs found is
$3.50 per week.
The Knights find the greatest num-
Der of repeater" men who return
to their employment huts at intervals,
among those employed by small con-
Germs in large cities. The man who
gets an opportunity with big con-
Germ usually sticks.
The K. of G.. ask employers having
outdoor jobs open to communicate
with their nearest employment bureau
as the summer presents a good op-
portunity to relieve the cities Of con-
geStiOn.

ENORMOUS PROF|TEER|NG
REPORT SHOWS THAT HIGH LIV-
ING COSTS WERE CAUSED BY
PROFITEERING, AND NOT BY
LABOR COSTS.

An interesting feature Of Mr.. W.
Lauck's important report to the Rail
road Labor Board, showing that pro-
fiteering and not increased labor costs
caused the high cost of living, is the
examination made of the incomes of
corporations. Corporations receiving
one-sixth of the corporate income of
the United States made $S00,000,O00
more year during 1868 than dur
ing 1924. If all the corporations
did as we'll as these, they received
$4,000, 100000 more a year in those
three years than during the pre-war
period.
With 110,000,000 people in the Unit
ed States or 22,O00000 families of five
each, every family paid $240 per year
more to these corporations during the
war than they did in the years before
the war. Mr.. Lauck, however, con-
tending that the figures for profits are
much less than the real profits be-
cause of various methods used to hide
from the public the real gains, de-
clares that an average of $1,000 for a
family of five in the three years 1916
Is is highly conservative estimate of
the actual cost of profteering.
This means that an average of $500
a year was paid by each family of
five to make up, not the total corpo-
rate profits during the three war years,
but only those profits in excess of
the pre-war gains. Elsewhere in the
report Mr.. Lauck shows that the total
profits of 1919 were almost as much as
those of 1868.

NEVADA K. Of c.
STATE CONVENTION STRIKES AT
DISGRACEFUL DIVORCE LAWS.

Opposition to the lax laws which
cause the State of Nevada to be
recognized throughout the United
States as the home of divorce was
recorded in resolutions adopted in Ely
by the knights of Columbus in the
annual state convention on May "a.
The Knights pledged their support
towards procuring amendments to the
divorce laws to remedy the evil
The convention went on record as
opposing Sunday work and pledged
their aid to a movement to have law
prohibiting Sunday work enacted by
the Nevada legislature. The Nevada
Knights also declared that they would
use every effort to bring to justice
the dastards guilty of circulating the

the small towns. They aim to keep
the young girl at home with her par
ents by pointing out the dangers of
emigration, and the economic and
moral advantages of working at home
For the girl who is obliged to leave
home, the organization offers protec-
able lodgings and restaurants, and
finds suitable employment. The So
ciety cocperates with all organiza-
ticns, particularly with those dealing
with young girls, Travellers Aid So
Cieties, Syndicates, working girls

In Geneva the Catholic Travellers
Union was founded in 1907 with the
purpose of grouping together the
young girls and the women workers
for the study and defense of their
moral. professional and social inter
ests. They have established study
clubs, vacation homes, sick benefits
and insurance.
Italian Women.
The Italian Catholic Women's Union
with headquarters in Rome, is the ma
tional organization and has estab-

for its aims the social, civic, moral
and religious education of the work
ing women. The Bollettino d'Organiz-
zaZione delIUnione Femminilc Gait
olica Italiana is it's official organ.
In Holland the National Catholic
Women's organization is the Vrowen-
bond
Attempt at Organization of An Inter-
national Society.
About ten years ago a step was
taken towards grouping all the Ma
tional Catholic Women's Societies to-
gether into an international organiza-
ton. Four international congresses
for women were held, the first at
Brussels in 1910, the second at
Madrid in 1911, the third at Vienna
in 1912, and the fourth in London in
1913. The outbreak of the War
caused cessation in the develop
ment OF these plans, but since the
armistice the interest has been re-
neWed and this spring two preliminary
conferences were held, one in Paris
and one in Rome.

Brief Reviews and Notices
ireland A Nation: By Robert Lynd

ireland A Nation: By Robert Lynd.
Published by Dodd, Mead e Com
pany, New York, Price $500
!, The author of this work, which is
just off the press, is literary editor
of the London Daily News According
to Rev. DR.. Irwin of Belfast, Ireland,
at dinner given recently in Wash
ington for President De Valera, Irish
writer's have produced many fine books
in the last few years, and the best
of these is ireland A Nation by Rob
ert Lynd."
Mr. Lynd is a Belfast man whose
father for many years occupied a lead
ing Presbyterian pulpit in Belfast. The
tenor of the work follows the line pur-
sued at the present day by so many
sincere and deep thinkers in Ulster.
1t takes a strong stand for Irish in
dependence, and to this end it ad-
duces many solid arguments. Invec-
tive and slurs on England are not
ably absent from this book, but there
is wealth of sound reasoning found
ed upon unassailable, facts.
The author agrees with certain
prominent writer's when they assert
that "the Rebellion of 1916 was the
best conceived and, up to certain
point, the best executed in the whole
history Of Ireland's risings"
Chapter six of this book presents
by far the best explanation we have
ever read of the expression Sim Fem
After perusing the various chapters
OF this notable work the impartial
reader cannot but agree with DR.. r.
win that ireland A Nation" is the
best of the many fine books produc-
ed by Irish writers in the last few
years

PAYING ON THE PRINCIPAL
at any annual interest period.
As q rule farmers do not care to
cucumber their Land with long term

paying the entire loan in reasonable
length Of time. Many sales have been
prevented because the borrowers have
been unable to obtSin q release Of the
mortgage before maturity without the
payment Of aNheAvy bonus. Under the
option in our mortgage papers THE
BORROWER CAN REPAY THE EN-
TIRE LOAN, OR A PORTION OF
IT, AT ANY INTEREST PERIOD,
if he desires to do go.
Loans are made ONLY ON I'M
PROVED FARM LANDS.
In estimating the value of land, its
productive capacity is taken as a ba-
sis while its nearness to market, Access
sibility to roads and turnpikes, neigh
bOrhood, etc., are also considered.
The partial payment privilege, and

LARGE RIVER TRAF-
FIG THIS SEASON

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 27, 1920
With the largest cargoes yet brought
in last week by the steamers Hill and
Fall of the Nashville Navigation Com
pany, indications are that river traffic
this season will be very heavy and
again firmly establish the Cumberland
as great traffic highway. The Nash
vile Navigation Company commenced
outright to operate the steamers, Hill
and Fall about the first of the year
and the officials of the company be-
lieve that the venture stage has been
securely passed. 1t is thought that
the shippers of the upper and lower
river sections will lend all cooperation
to make the river traffic a success,
with the Navigation Company doing
its part by insuring regular boat
service as long as navigable water
can be guaranteed.
With the Nashville live stock mar
-ket grown to large proportions. it is
believed also that shippers will take
advantage of the facilities and good
prices realized here.

HOW TO GROW
hurley TOBACCO

In growing Burley tobacco, the
first thing is to get the best seed
that are to be had. Don't sow just
any kind of seed because some call
them Burley, as there are a great
many seed being sold today for White
Burley seed that are substitutes.
Sow your plant beds as early as the
ground will permit so as to have early
plants and be ready for the early
season. The early set is always the
best and has chance to ripen before
the cold winds and fall rains come to
damage it.
Have soil in good condition, rows
about three and one-hah feet apart
and set plants about eighteen or twen-
ty inchs apart. Start cultivating as
soon after setting as possible and con-
tinue the SINE as any other tobacco.
Let it start blooming before topping
and then top high from % to &c inch
es in good strong soil, suckers twice
and take the suckers out while small,
as this gives more growth to the plant
and also better spread.
Let your tobacco get ripe as ripe
tobacco is what the factories want and
you want the weight LndL you uOA I
get by cutting green.
1t is better to build scaffolds IN the
field and hang the tobacco in them
until it has wilted sufficient to haul
to the barn without bruising and if
YOU do not a scaffold. it will cost
/ but very little to build a frame on
your wagon so as to hang the tobacco
in it. Handle carefully and don't brulse
while transferring from patch to barn
as that is where a great per cent OF
/ the dmage is done to tobacco. When
you start stripping make at least SIX
or eight grades and heap each grade
to itself as the barn is the proper and
only place you can get your tobacco
! graded.
Your grades should be: short OF
common trash, better grade trash
common Tugs, good Tugs, Red tips
Red leaf, short bright leaf and long
bright leaf.
Keep all the green to ITSELF ane
don't tie it up with your better grade:
as it will, not only make them lool
bad, but will sell as green tobacco.
Don't try to grow more than yol
kcan hande right. Let your aim be quail
ity. Try to have the best that comes
to your market. You will be well paid
Have barns opened and well xentiiate'
while the tobacco is curing but keel
barns closed in rainy weather to keel
the rain from blowing in and making
your tobacco have brownish dea
