MISS LILLIAN WATSON WRITES
LEDGER FROM The WEST

Miss William WATSON, of this city,
is in California for the fall and VIM
ter; and writes under date of Oct. 4th,
from Los Angeles as follows:-
We arrived in Los Angeles, Sept.
25th, at $50 a. M, after a very en-
joyahle trip by way Of Denver, Albuq-
uerque, and through the state of
Arizona. The sunset on Pixies Peak,
v!cwig it from Colorado Springs is a
wonderful scene.
AT La Junta, Colo, we witnessed
the capture Of a train robber who
tried to escape from Kansas City and
Denver train which came in over
the same road about one hour later
than we did. The robber was sent
to the Canyon City p%enitentiary for
twenty years.
After travelling through mountains
with high rock cliffs in New Mexico
and then through the desert of Ariv-
ona, we crossed the Colorado River at
sunset into paradise-the sunny state
of California. The beauty of the sun
rise on the wonderful peaks near
San Bernardo is beyond DESCRIPTION.
The orange grove, all kinds of flowers,
and trees, in the beautiful sunlight
were an inspiration. The trip in every
detail was exactly like my expecta-
tons of it.
Los Angeles is a beautiful city Of
600, 900. The climate being warm the
year around, produces fine vegetables,
fruits, and flowers.
Since arriving We have been to San
Pedro Harbor to see Admiral Rod
mans fleet lombard San Pedro in
sham battles, and also to Venice, a
beautiful city on the beach. We en-
joyed the beauty of the great Pacific
Ocean. We are going to the Red
ondo beach in the near future, and
also expect to make the trip to
Catalina Islands.
We are enjoying life in this beau
tiful land Of sunshine, fruit, and
flowers, and will ] glad to hear from
our friends in Missouri.
With best wishes and kindest re-
CARDS to our Missouri friends,

0SULL|VAN
EXTENDED A
WARM WELCOME

1t was a warm, a happy and an en-
tAusiastic welcome home that was
given the Rev. Father Timothy OSal-
Ivan, Sunday evening by the Knights
Of Columbus. The psiest at St. Bren-
dams had just returned from a three
months visit 10 his old home in Iro-
land and the only sad note in the 10y
Gus occasion was his own story of
what he saw in his beloved Ireland
battling with England.
The Sunshine orchestra, one of
Mexico's cleverest musical organiza-
tions, played during the evening and
the women Of the parish served a
bounteous and delicious menu. Father
White, Of Fulton; Father Freese, of
M~artinsburg; Father Schleuter, of
Vandalia; all responded to toast at
the introduction of Father Hurley, of
Wellsville, who has a corner on Irish
wit and repartee. Mayor J. F. Harri-
son, Col. E. Y. Burton, and Fred A.
Morris all spoke and joined in the
greetings to Father TIM.
When Father 0'Sullivan arose to
speak he was given an ovation He
described the conditions that have ex
listed in Ireland always as regards
government and that the present un-
rest there was due to England and the
remainder Of the world taking the at
titude during the late war, that each
small nation had the right to choose
its W government.
He likened England's treatment of
the Irish today to that Of Germany
with Belgium. He said the present
trouble was not a religious question
for both Catholics and Prostestants
lived together amicably, except where
trouble was started by English agents,
and that all through history most of
the greatest patriots had been Prot
estants.
That Ireland today had its own
Republican form Of government and
1t was functioning. That the police
officers killed by the Irish were or
sidered traitors to the Republic be-
cause they were fighting the Republic
and that their being shot from am
bush was considered an exception and
not murder. They were men who had
been tried and found guilty by trial
courts.
He told of the wanton destruction
of property and life by the military
in reprisals and that the only people
in Ireland who were against freedom
were the English and Scotch who lived
in Ireland and were the pets of the
government of England
That the Irish do not expect the
United States to go to war in her be-
half but they do expect sympathy and
believe it their just right that their
government be recognized. He stated
that the Irish will die before they sub
nit and that they have now gone too
far to change their attitude until the
end sought is gained.

AND THEY SAY
MOVIE PLOTS
ARE IMPOSSIBLE.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, Oct. Mime
years ago William (Hoss) Faach had
almost nothing in the world but Jul
age. That led him into a burning
house at Claremore, Okla, where he
rescued the IL year old daughter of
j. J. Roberts. Roberts gave Faash
some oil company stock, which it was
hoped some day would be worth some
thing.
Recently Faach, who is SO, was glad
enough to have his job here selling
papers, Last week he got a check for
$500, first of a series Of dividends
on the oil stock.
Today Faach is debating which auto
he will buy, probably to use on his
wedding trip after Oct. "a. OF course,
the bride will be the girl he rescued.
