stabulary broke into her home and de-

Walsh, sister-in-law Of Lord Mayor
MacCurtain of Cork, who was killed in
March. 1920. opened the hearing of the
unofficial American commission on the
conditions in Ireland, at the Hotel La
Fayette today
The witness said that at least TWEEN
ty raids had been conducted against
the homes of members of her family
in the past two years. and when asked
by Senator Walsh to what she at
tr1buted these attacks. she said it was
for no other reason than her brother
in-law's activities in the cause Of Ire
land.
She detailed the attacks and gave a
graphic description Of the final raid.

Terrorism Undermines Health.
Miss Walsh said the result Of the
continuous terrorism had undermined
the health of her entire family, and
ADDED that her sister had not slept for
the past eight months. which was the
reason she did not come to America
herself.
Her testimony regarding the raids
when MacCurtain was killed was In
corroboration Of what other witnesses
had testified about what had taken
place on that fatal day.
AT this point the witness broke
down and was able to resume her tes-
timony only after being comforted
by her sister.
Before Miss Walsh took the stand
Frank Walsh. counsel for the wit
nesses. produced documents tending
to show that tho four former mem.
who had testified before the commits
sion. had been bona f1de members OF

buttal of the published statement from
Sir Hamar Greenward, discredidng the

DISPUTE OVER CHARGE
FOR DISH LEADS TO BLOW
One of Four College Students in
Restaurant Arrested and
Fined.

Even college students protest
against the high cost of living. This
fact was demonstrated last night in
Childs restaurant. when four men
from the University OF Virginia, in
town over the Christmas holidays,
after a little game of Switchboard
with the sugar bowls on the tables,
refused to pay $3.50 for one that
'3ust somehow or other got broken"
in the game. saving that the price
was too high.
The night menager OF the restaur-
ant, George Hampton, stated that
$2.50 was the price of the bowl, and
must be paid for. That started an
argument.
A policeman was called in and
found a free-for- skirnish going
on, the walters, with their trays. and
the students Joining in. The end Of
it was that George w. Oglethorpe.

was introduced that there probably
were not ten influential men in Ire
land who had even taken the trouble
to read it. The Bills critics argue
months have not served to change the
Sim Fem attitude that they will not
set up the government suggested by
the imperial parliament. The bill as
presented did not provide an alterna-
tive il either Ulster or the south, or
both. declined to accept it, but it has
been amended to the effect that il
either does not accept it within three
and a half years the measure auto
matically dies so far as the section re-
fusing to accept it is concerned.
Can BE Ruled ~ Crown Colony.
In the meantime either section de-
clining to accept can be ruled as q
crown colony. The limit of three and
half years was adopted because by
that time there must be an election
and a new house of commons
The bill now provides that there
shall be set up by popular elections
two parliaments, one for Ulster and
one for the south. Each parliament
shall decide upon the method of Sc
lecting senates. The connecting link
between them will be the Irish coun-
Gil of forty, twenty for each section
Each senate will select seven Of Its
ment thirteen.
/. The original bill provided that the
president of the council should be the
lord chancellor of Ireland, but, as
amended. he will be appointed by the
lord lieutenant on the advice of the
crown. which means that the govern
ment in power can put any one at the
head of the Irish legislative body it
pleases. The idea expressed by min
listers explaining the bill is that the
council will form a bridge upon which
in time the two parliaments can get
together and form one body for the
entire country.
Powers to BE Turned Over.
The measure provides that when
that is done certain powers of police.
finance and other branches of the
government will be turned over. The
imperial government will keep q
pretty firm hand on the fundamentals
of the Irish government during the
life OF the two parliaments. but holds
out many attractions for a united
parliament that it's sponsors hope
will counterfeit the prejudices that
have always existed between the
north--and the south.

the parliaments as set forth In the
bill when it was introduced are in

GREEK PEDDLER GETS RICH

Down in Atlanta, Ga, the news
papers have given considerable
space to the experience of Aristides
SOumplis, a Greek, who came to
America only a little more than
II years ago, practically without a
cent.
Recently Aristides sailed for his
native land, taking with him $780,
600, most of which had been invest
ed in the securities issued by the o..
S. Government.
Aristides' success is cited as an
example of what Thrift can accom-
plish. He peddled fruit, shot dogs"
set up an ice cream business, saved
and when the Government
offered Liberty Bonds, War Saw
ngs Stamps and Treasury Savings
Certificates he became a regular
purchaser of these Incompatible Sc
,urities.

Do the mixing Immediately before
using. If possible to apply the
above amount or close to it through
the fertilizer attachment of a grain
drill, it may be drilled in with wheat

to seed the treated land to wheat
or rye, and then seed to red or sweet
clover on a Honey combed' freeze
next February. 1t is confidently
believed that this treatment will
bring an excellent crop of clover, al
though, of course, larger applica-

last longer. Burnt lime may be
used at one-half the above rates on

EVEN SMALL APPLICATIONS
Of LIME IMPROVE SOIL

Lime is so essential on the soil
in such "a large part of the State and
the length of wagon haul is so great
in so many places that it becomes
highly important to know whether
small applications of limestone will
be sufficient to obtain growth Of
clover. Experiments which the de-
partment of agronomy has been con-
Quoting for three years indicate
that from 500 to 1000 pounds Of
ground limestone to the acre will
very greatly increase the growth Of
clover on soils needing lime. 1t is
suggested that county agents put
out a number of demonstrations as
follows: Mix $50 pounds of acid
phosphate with $50 pounds of finely

CIRCULAR NO. 81 OFF PRESS

"Where crimson clover can be
grown successfully there is probably
no other crop as valuable for ad-
ding nitrogen and organic matter to
the soil economically. It's great
value is due to the fact that almost
the entire growth is made during
the season when the land is not oc-
cupied by the ordinary summer
crops. The plant is :. winter ami
MAJ, that is, the seed is sown in the
late summer or early fall and the
crop natures the following spring.
In Kentucky, crimson clover is in
full bloom about. the first Of May
and ripens in June. The plants have
acquired their full amount of nitro
gen when in full bloom so that if
plowed under at this time the maxi
mum benefit, as far as adding nit
rogen to the soil is concerned, is OBJ
tanned, and there is yet ample time
to mature corn, tobacco and other
crops" says E. ]. Kinney, professor
of farm crops in the College of Ag-
riculture and associate agronomist
in the Kentucky Experiment Station.
