ducers in Europe. The figures given
in my last article prove that even to-
day few Europeans produce as much
per head as the southern dreamer.v
The actual fact is that the farmer
and shopkeeping class in "the South
constitute some of the hardest busi-
ness men in Europe. The mass of
them, at normal times, and when their
deeper emotions are unroused, care
as little for an Irish republic as any
Englishman of them all. The mass of
them would be satisfied with the pres
ent Free State or with any State
which would give them peace for
profit making, which is something the
Republicans have always had "up
against" them. 1t is true that the
mass of them would prefer an abso-
lutely independent ireland, but they
are not, except under stress like that
of the last few years. prepared to fight
for 1t.
The so-called facts" about Ireland
are usually the fictions of interested
politicians. Here let me give one of
the most interesting and humorous
stories about the southern dreamer

nous through Ireland and even
through Europe wherever cooperation
is talked. Here at least is concrete
fact as to the Irish capacity to build
up substantial business and to the ca
pacity of Ireland as field for foreign
capital.
There is district in Ireland known
as Dungloe, i'm northwest Donegal,
which looks as though the hand of God
had no part in its fashioning. 1t has
an elemental wildness OF gray rock
and blue lake. OF treeless wastes and
iridescent bog stretching TO the back
OF nowhere, with here and there tiny
patches of green. clinging to which
tiny patches of human beings support
life. No field for American invest
ment you or any sane American
would say. But you would be wrong.
Everything that holds good for the
outside world holds wrong for Ireland,
the isle of paradox.

By SHAW DESMOND.

TN my last article | showed how
the 'individualist cooperative
i experiment now launched in Ire
land would open up an almost ur-
worked country to outside investment.
Every Irishman to-day believes that
the virgin fields of Ireland form the
natural outlet for American capital.
Certain it is at least that there are few
channels in the world after the war
which offer so rich return to the
careful investor. and l am in a posi-
ton to state that many American mil
lionaires, as also average business
men, are already considering schemes
for investment.
The president of an iron and steel
corporation in Cincinnati recently said
in a letter to the writer: II note that
the Irish are still fighting. I think i
made the prediction that they always
will. III Ireland had all the excite
ment of business that America and
England have the Irish energies would
go into peaceful callings, but there is
so little business in Ireland that l am
afraid the Irish intensity Is finding

Southern Irishman Bigger
Producer than Northerner'
There is one of the commonest fa!-
lacies about ireland, about which
country less is. known than any other
country in Europe. Per head the
southerner, supposed to be dreamer,
produces more than even the Ulster
man, taking into account that the
Ulster man has to import much of his
raw material. AS George Russell
GA. E.") has shown. "the wealth Of
Ireland lies in the southern hen roosts."
and the official figures bear him out.
This is not a matter for passion but
for examination. The southerner,
forming as he does four-fifths of Ire
land, is as hard a worker as his north
ern brother, which is saying some-
thing, while up to the coming of the
land purchase acts he, frankly, was a

Tunnel Is Expected
To Eliminate Waste

But only the building of the tunnel
will eliminate the barges, save the ter
rifle waste incident to the present
method of each railroad transshipping
rs own cars and make possible uni
fication of operation. at the same time
eliminating much of the most cumber-
some and troublesome of harbor and
river traffic. the movement of slowly
moving barges. AS the Port Author
ity goes ahead with it's work the
tunnel under the harbor will loom up
rs the key to its endeavors. With
that built and the Jersey railroads
tied together and joined to the lines
running to Staten Island and about
Newark Bay one of the greatest
steps contemplated will have been
taken to relieve the congestion of
freight about New York.
Perhaps as important as the rest of
the problem is the distribution of
The New York herald., 1922-07-30

on the west side of the port is not
nearly as large an undertaking as it
may appear, as most of the line al
ready exists. There are connections
to be made here and there and some
structural changes necessary, but as
matter of fact the unification of
freight handling in Jersey was ordered
and carried out during the war by the
utilization of many of the very facili
ties the Port Authority proposes using.
The Capitalization point on the Jersey
side. as far as the handling of freight
in great quantity is concerned, is the
Greenville yard of the Pennsylvania
system.
1t is no uncommon thing, now. to
see barge leave the Erie terminal
with a car or two and one leave the
Pennsylvania terminal with a few
cars. when one barge could carry all
the cars and more besides. The desti-
nation often is the same. probably the
terminal of the New York Connecting
Railroad i'm South Brooklyn. by which
transshipped freight cars are trans
ferred to the New England lines. The
connecting railroad. incidentally, is one
of the chief links in the Port Author
ity's belt line system.

Sirs: Seeing an ad for your medi-

took six bottles Shortly afterward
/ was invited by man dressed in
blue with short, round cane hung
to his wrist to take ride in a new
car they called the Petrol or Patrol.
There were others in the car and they
trusted one man SO little that they
handcuffed him to one of my wrists
so that he could not get away. We
were all taken to see an old gray hair
ed man sitting behind high desk.
He said to me, I think you should
take long rest in the Pennsylvania
hotel l think he called it. So we
took another ride to the place; on the
outside was a sign Penn State, or
State Penn, forget which. Anyway
they gave me new suit of clothes in
the prevailing style of the place and
hair cut. All / had to do all day
was to play game they called State
golf. For balls there were large
stones, and for drivers and brassies
we had sledge hammers. We liked
the game so well that we kept at it
from 6 a. m. to 6 p. M, with one hour
off for lunch. The hotel keepers
name was Worden or Warden. When

me so much that they blew every
whistle in the hotel and sent all the
employees looking for me. When II
got back they gave me a much bet
ter room-much higher and stronger.

leave, and my testimonial is this

Why You Can
Buy Cheaper
At KenneWick

Our ever increasing mail order bus
mess is quite evident that many are
finding Kennewick the logical place
to trade.
We are favored here by having the
Kennewick wholesale grocery and the
Kennewick flour mill. These two
firms alone are responsible to very
great extent in keeping prices in food
stuffs and feed to the very minimum.
Our wholesale house buys canned
goods, syrups, sugar, salt, soap and
many other items in carload lots,
thus laying the goods down in Ken
newick at virtually the same price as
at any other jobbing center in the
northwest. The same thing applies
to our local mill in the lines they
carry.
Other jobbing houses and mills
working this territory realize that if
they can hope to do business with
Kennewick, they must cut prices or
at least equalize freight.
Our fine railroad facilities enables
us to draw from q much larger area
than most towns Of similar size. This
puts us in direct touch with all the
principal wholesale houses and mills
in the northwest.
If it were not for the wholesale
firms here our merchants would be
obliged to buy their goods from coast
jobbers, paying for the privilege of
buying in small lots and shipping by
local freight which would materially
effect the cost of goods laid down in
Kennewick. .ai,g
We need our wholesale grocery and
our flour mill; II is to our mutual
advantage that they are here. You
can help to maintain them by using
Kennewick flour and Del Monte can
ned goods.
