DIR. COLLINS URGES GROWERS
TO SIGN

A stirring message from Colorado
to the hurley tobacco growers of Ken
lucky and other states is brought by
DR.. P. P. Collins, a physician of Den
yer, and owner of a large farm in
Madison county, who is at Richmond
on a visit to his mother, Mrs. Villa M
Collins and brother, May Collins.
Following the organization of CO.
operative marketing association
among the fruit growers Of Colorado's s
fruit belt, DR.. Collins says that land
prices jumped from $1OO an acre to
$500 and $4OO within a year or so,
and now, these same lands are sell
ing at $1,000 an acre. He predicts
the very same result will be had here
in Kentucky if the hurley growers
have the foresight and good business
sense to become members of the Bur
ley Tobacco Growers association.

a personal loss when Christy Mat
t.ewson, greatest pitcher of all, was
forced to quit the diamond and begin
his fight against tuberculosis. He
has brought to this, his greatest bat
tie, the same indomitable courage and
will to do his best that SO endeared
him to the fans a few years ago.
That these same fans do not for
get and love to honor and assist him
was touchingly displayed in the tes-
timonial game played in his honor at
the polo grounds recently. All of the
receipts of the game went to Christy
to aid him in his fight against the

thought it steep. But the marketing
association was formed, and land
commenced to go up. The associa ton
was a great success. The farmers be-
gan to receive better prices for their
products and all got on the wagon ;
in fact, there was a great rush to
join the association by those who had

POPGUN TARIFF BILL
TO WHITE HOUSE
BIG BATTLE ENDS WHEN HOUSE
ADOPTS CONFERENCE RE-
PORT, PAS TO 81.
CANADA MAY RETALIATE
Slight FURRY of Opposition Appears
at Final Stages of Emergency
Measure, Democrats Rails
ing No Fight.

Washington.-The long battle in
congress over the emergency tariff
bill ended when the house by vote
of 245 to 81 adopted the conference re,
port to which the senate already had
agreed. The measure was sent to the
White House, where it is expected to
be signed by President Harding soon
after his return from New York.
The emergency measure passed in
the closing days of the last session
was vetoed by President Wilson, but
Immediately reintroduced with the
opening of the present extra session.
AS finally passed, it carried tariff
duties on S0-odd products of the farm,
together with compensatory duties on
the articles manufactured from them
1t also empowers the secretary of the
treasury to employ penalties in STAY
ing off dumping of foreign-made
goods, continues the wartime control
over importations Of dyes and op-
crates to clarity tangles in the assess
ment of duties which result from fluc.
tuating exchange rates.
At its first appearance, and through
the long debates that followed, op-
ponents of high tariff predicted re-
taliatory action by Canada, by the
South American countries and by some
nations Of Europe. Chairman Fordney
Of the House ways and means COM
mittee, which drafted the bill, said,
however, that no protests had come,
and that he had seen signs of only a
few moves in retaliation.
Only slight furry Of opposition
appeared as the bill went into the roll
call. Representative Garner of Texas,
a democrat, member of the ways and
means committee, rsstated the posi-
ton OF majority of his party and de-
clared the bill could do no possible
good; that it was sop" to the farm
ers and that the republicans had not
rushed the bill to passage until it had
been made Ito take care of their in
dustrial interests by compensatory du.

PEACE, POPE'S PLEA
TO BRITISH ISLES
POPE BENEDICT URGES END TO
DEVASTATION AND sLAueH-
TER IN IRELAND.
OUTLINES A PEACE PLAN
Commission, to Be Named by Whole
Irish Nation, Should Settle Diff.
euIty-Gives 100000 Lire
for Relief.

Dundalk, Ireland.-Pope Benedict
has written to Cardinal Logue, prim
ate Of Ireland, appealing to both the
English and Irish to abandon violence
and proposing that the Irish question
be settled by body, selected by the
whole Irish nation. The pontiff sent
Cardinal Logue 100000 lire for the
Irish white cross.
The text Of the pope's communica-
ton to Cardinal Logue reads:
while we are filled with anxiety
in regards to all nations, we are most
especially concerned about conditions
in Ireland. She is subjected to the
| indignity Of devastation and slaughter,
There is assuredly no doubt that harsh
J and cruel occurrences Of this kind are
In great part attributable to the recent
war, for neither has sufficient consid.
| Grafton been given to the desires Of
nations nor have the fruits of peace
which peoples promised themselves
been reaped. In the public strife which
is taking place in your country 1t is
deliberate counsel Of the Holy See,
counsel consistently acted upon to
the present in similar circumstances
to take sides with neither of the con.
tending parties.
Such neutrality, however, by no
means prevents us from wishing and
desiring, nor even from praying and
beseeching the contending parties,
that the frenzy of strife may as soon
as possible subside aud lasting peace
and sincere union OF hearts take the
place Of this terrible enmity. For,
indeed, We do not perceive how this
bitter strife can profit either Of the
parties when property and homes are
being ruthlessly and dlsgracefully
laid waste, when villages and farm.
steads are being set aflame, when
neither sacred places nor sacred per
sons are spared, and when on both
sides war resulting in the death OF
unarmed people Snd even of women
and children, is being carried on.
Mindful, therefore, of our Apos-
tolic office and moved by charity
which embraces all men, we exhort
the English as we'll as the Irish to
calmly consider whether the time has
rot arrived to abandon violence and
treat on some means OF mutual agree
ment For this end we think II would
lie opportune if effect were given the
plan, recently suggested by distin.
guished men as well as distinguished
politicians, that the question at issue
should be referred for discussion to
some body of men represented by the
whole Irish nation.
when this conference has pub
hshed its finding let the more influ-
entail among both parties meet to-
gether. and, having put forward and
discussed the views and conclusions
arrived at. let them determine by COM
mon consent on some means of set
ting the question in sincere spirit
OF peace and reconciliation"
