ECONOMIC WAR IN IRELAND.
Boycott Of Ulster Planned in Retail.
alton by Catholics.


Boycott Of Ulster Planned in Retail
alton by Catholics.
BY Associated Press.
Dublin, Aug. 4.-Indications of an
outbreak or an economic war be-
tween north and south Ireland are
increasing as a result Of the expul-
sion OF Catholic workmen from ship
yards and other Industrial concerns
by their protestant fellow workmen.
It is thought in some quarters that
this will be the next move to add to
the already great embarrassments of
the country.
Some western towns already are
threatening a boycott against Belfast
goods, it is said, and there Is danger
Of this policy spreading into other
trades, including the banking sys-
tenn, which hitherto has been one OF
the few bonds between the north and
south.
Ulster especially fears this action,
as~much of the capital which sup
ports northern industries comes from
the south.
The Irish Times points out that
such a boycott is quite practical as
northern apd western, Ireland are
better organized now than ct any
other time in their history. 'The
boycott" says the newspaper, would
inflame political strife and would
beggar many departments Of indus
try. It would prove that the rest
of Ireland can not dispense with
Belfast, for all its pride and self de-
pendence, can dispense with the rest
Of Ireland"

U. s. GAINS BY RATE BOOST.
Hundred Million Dollars to Be Added
to Treasury Annually.

70 treasury HuHodhy'
BY Associated Press.
Washington. Aug. r. Increased
revenues, officially estimated at
$100,000,000 annually, will accrue to
the treasury as a result of the in
creased railroad rates.
The s.dded income for the govern
ment. officials said, would be de-
rived from increased transportation
taxes, which are paid by the public,
as well as thru operation Of the in
come and excise provisions of rev.
enue laws.
Transportation taxes for the fiscal
year ending June 80 aggregated ap-
proximately $231,0O0.0o0. This sum
was made up from the per cent tax
on freight charges amounting to
s125,0 100000; the 8 per cent tax on
passenger tickets, supplying $780,
100000, and the 8 per cent tax on
Pullman charges, producing i$6,
100000.
Officials Of the bureau Of internal
revenue calculate the additional
taxes will aggregate s3s.55o,oo0 on
freight, $1s,7o0,0o0 on passenger and
$3.60O.000 on Pullman charges.
Another source of revenue would
be from income taxes. Railroad ex-
ecut;ves expect many of the carriers
to earn sufficient returns under the
new rates to compel the payment of
income taxes for the first time since
pre-war days.
It is. from this source the treasury
expects to obtain a large portion of
the remaining S4o,0o0,o0O of their

Men prate about violated obligations
to the nations of the earth. The SOL

NEED WORKERS IN PALESTINE
Want 10000 For Eighteen Months
Reconstruction Work.

By Associated Press.
Jerusalem, July 1S.-Ten thousand
volunteers, chosen from veterans Of
the world war. the Jewish Legion
and skilled workmen, to enlist at
once for 1s months service in a Jew
ish army in Palestine, are necessary
for the basic reconstruction work OF
the Jewish National Homeland. ac-
cording to Bernard A. Rosenblatt,
president of the American Zion
Commonwealth, who Is now in Pales-
tine in the interests of qBalfouria," !"
the colony Of the American Zion
Commonwealth.
MriRosenblatt recommends a regu-
lar army organization with a general
staff Of three which, as a Jewish In
dustrial Commission, will supervise
the work OF the Jewish labor army
in rebuilding the Holy Land.
Our biggest task, once the call
is issued for volunteers, will be in
sitting out the applicants and deter
mining upon the 10000 to CO." he
said. "They could all be occupied in
the ono task Of building houses for
future immigrants. The army should
work only on land belonging to the
Jewish nation, lands secured from the
Palestine government. from the Jew
ish National Fund, the American
Zion Commonwealth or other agen-
cies of the Zionist Organization"
In addition to the construction of
houses. he points out that such an
army would be busted in preparing
land for immediate settlement, irri-
cation, afforestration, sanitation and
engineering work necessary Tor the
development Of industry and com
merce.
"The nucleus for such an industrial
army Is already in Palestine in the
cooperative groups, working on the
lands Of the Jewish National Fund
and in the group that is developing
'Balfouria,' the first colony Of the
American Zion Commonwealth" he
concluded. II am convinced after two
visits to Palestine that only thru
such huge disciplined Jewish labor
army. will we be able to reconquer
the land Of our forefathers."

College Education
Did Not Hurt This
,ua Farmer Boy

CT o, Aug. 4.-Will a college
edu . n hurt sensible farm boy?
Sor Ay yes, others no. w. G. Rob
SO, well known farmer and stock
m If Greene county, Iowa says
= = And when it comes to prov
i Is point all he has to do is to
meneion certain string of yearling
steers which were fed by his SON and
sold in Chicago Aug. very near the
top OF the market, giving him a mar
gin OF 1918 over the cost price.
Mr.. Robson has trfrned over the ac-
tive management Of his $50 acres Of
land to his two sons and son-in-law,
and 1t was Paul n. who fed the
steers. He was graduated from the
Iowa State college in 1919 after re-
turning from year Of service in the
army. AS soon as he got back he hur-
ried back to college to complete his
course, incidentally carrying off high
honors In animal husbandry, then
home to father and the old farm and
business.
The steers were bought at the auc-
ton last November in Kansas City
and were In the stalk fields on the
Robson farm by Dec. 1. They were
introduced to some good homegrown
corn and oats. and after nosing
around the hunks for several weeks
decided 1t was pretty good feed.
In the meantime Paul had figured
out ration based on corn, with suf-
nclent oats and pea sized oil meal to
balance 1t, and the calves were run
thru the winter on that ration. The
oats were dropped in spring and
about June / the string was turned
out on good native pasture, where
they ran until the day they were
marketed.
The yearlings doubled in weight
in the eight months said tho senior
Robson. THAT shows what a college
boy can do"
At the market the calves averaged
420 pounds and cost s11.00. They
sold for $16.75. averaging s36 pounds.
Several light animals had been add
ed, which brought down the average.
You can say my son did the Job
all himself" Robson told the report
er. Il didn't feed them more than two
or three times. We are farming my
500 acres and some rented land and
have 240 acres OF corn. We did all
the work ourselves. How's that?"
Robson said he was booster for
the farm bureaus. He was the first
president for his county and It was
the eighth in the state to >-erranize.
That was about nine years ago. He
has taken an active interest ever
since and believes there Is a great
work for the bureaus to do.
"But I don't believe we should
sell what we can't deliver" he said.
Don't plunge into things we are not
sure Of our way out. It's all non
sense to think we can fix prices OF
hogs and corn any way we want.
What we want is to make sure that
the laws of supply and demand are
operating naturally"

Newspapers incensed at Attitude Of
America and Britain.
BY Associated Press.
Toxic, Aug. Especial dispatches
from the United States describing
the recent conference at the Ameri-
can state department have served to
increase the nervousness here over
the Japanese American relations.
The general situation In the far
east was discussed at the confer-
ence, participated in by Secretary Of
State Colby. Sir Auckland Geddes,
British ambassador to the United
States: Roland Morris, American
ambassador to Japan, and Sir Bills
by Francis Alstrom. British minister
to China.
There was a suggestion In some Of
the dispatches that Great Britain is
showing signs Of joining the United
States in her far eastern policy.NS
Leading newspapers devote lengthy
editorials to discussion OF the situa-
ton and generally demand that the
Japanese people show an unbroken
front. The Nichi Nichi thinks the
trouble with Japan's diplomacy lies
in the fact that tho authorities are
excessively timid and overcons,der-
ate OF the feelings Of other coufi-
tries"
They should take resolute action
on their own responsibility. the paper
says.
Some Americans. adds the Nichi
Nichi, interpret occupation Of sagha-
len as a qualification Of territorial
ambitions, but If any Japanese are
harboring such ambitions they are
merely old fashioned imperialists.
Even II such men exist, it asserts, it
is no cause for concern, because the
militarists who once threatened to
control the foreign policy are now in
fluenced by public opinion.
The Hochi Shimbun says the coun.
try should not belittle the Importance
of the American communication re-
garding Japanese occupation. which
the newspaper considers virtually 4
protest.
"Japan's vacillating diplomacy" It
asserts, "has often brought contempt
on Japan. particularly with regard to
America"
While deprecating rage over the
American protest, the Hochi Shimbun
says:
Let us urge no yielding to pro-
test based merely on suspicious
imagination. We are anxious to see
the problems Of Japan and America
settled amicably, but there is limit
to our patience. If things become un-
bearable, a state Of affairs may oc-
cur regrettable. not only so far as
Japancse-American relations are con-
cerned, but for the peace Of the
world. We hope the authorities will
abide by the cause Of justice and fear
nothing"
The Jill expresses fear that the
congressional inquiry will have tht
effect Of aggravating the anti-Jara-
nese situation in California, and will
influence the minds Of Americans
generally.
But the newspaper expects final
congressional action will be based on
equity and justice.
