_ ENGLISHMAN STARTED . By fiussell Browning (United Press Correspondent) * "Cork, Nov. 18 (By Mail.)—The Sinn Fein volunteer army was Nc[:r- a- jor Maurice Talbot-Crosby, grandson of the Earl of Glendalough, was the military tutor of MacSwiney, Mccur- tain, and Mike Collins, and the pre- gent “Sinn “Fein army follows very closely the plans laid down by Major Talbot-Crosby, although control of the forces he reared have long since ‘Major Talbot-Crosby outlined to the Unit- ganzied by a loyal Englishman. been wrested from his hands. - ed Press the part he played in the birth of Sinn Fein. ! “My ancestors settled in this coun- try in 1167,” said Major Talbot- Crosby, “but 1 am not considered an Trizhman because of membership in a family that ‘has long been a part of the ‘loyal English garrison in Ire- land’ 1 organized the first volun- teers as a counter to the threat of Carson’s Ulsterites. Three thousand men - were enlisted*in the Cork bri- gade and we drilled openly in the streets of Cork with guns imported from England. Other units sprang up thruout southern and western Ire- land and we were prepared to effec- tively deal with any attempted inva- sion from the north.” ‘““At the outbreak of the war I sent a telegram to 'Asquith offering the services of the volunteers,” continu- ed the major. ‘““This offer was refus- ed. I then spoke to the men of my .command and they agreed that they would enlist in a body in the regular British army, if allowed to form a unit composed exclusively of Irish- men. This offer was conveyed to the government and also turned down. I then went to John Redmond and told him frankly that unless the volun- teers were allowed to enlist as Irish- men a rebellion was inevitable. Red- mond didn’t see it that way and I let the mater drop. Permission to carry the Irish flag, the green flag with a harp, in recruiting was asked and refused, so I saw nothing else to do but join up with the army my- self and urge as many of my com- irades to do so as I could. At this time MacSwiney and Mccurtain were openly preaching the doctrine of ‘ ‘England’s difficulties, Ireland’s op- portunity,’ appealing to the men to refuse to fight for a country that so evidently disdained their services. Notwithstanding this 10,000 men from Cork joined the colors in the first year, out of a possible 13,000 eligibles. After the rebellion of 1916 there were no more en!lstmenls.( UNITED STATES BUILDS FIRST RIGID AIRSHIP Philadelphia, Dec: 7.—The League Island aircraft plant, said to be the largest of its kind in the world, has begun work on the new fleet airship No. 1, the first rigid airship to be built in the United States. Modeled on German Zeppelin plans, the ai ship will resemble the R-88, which is now under construction in England for the United States navy. When completed, airship No. 1 will be as- signed to the Atlantic fleet for train- ing and instruction in scouting. Four hundred and thirty-two planes, of a dozen types, have been turned out by the naval aircraft fac- tory, a survival of the government’s supreme effort to cope with allied de- mand for air supremacy in the late war. Approximately 350 completed planes, a part of the surplus war ma- terial said to value $55,000,000, awaited disposition ‘today in a huge storage building. Eighty per cent of the work done in the factory is nmew construction, while 20 per cent is devoted to experi mental, research and development work, according to Commander G. C. Westervelt, manager. Every factor, excepting motors, that enters into the construction of an airplane is manu- factured here. United States mail planes are repaired at the plant. + Commander H. C. Richardson, who participated in the trans-Atlantic flight of the N-C boats in the spring of 1919, is chief engineer of the fac- tory. The working force has been re- .duced from the war-time activity of over 5,000 to 1,400. Of that number, 200 are women. Approximately $5,~ 000,000 was spent by the navy de- partment in building the aircraft fac- tory, which covers 46 acres. Its group of buildings occupy a floor space of 950,000 square feet. ‘What is claimed to be the largest airplane hangar in the world, 200 feet wide and 150 feet deep, is capable of housing eight fully equipped planes of the N-C type, the largest built, or “twenty of smaller size.

I | WHAT OTHERS SAY greatest of all dairy breeds, Wonderful Holstein Cow."” word wonderful to this stein milk represents health, vitality tains more protein than the plain why all the state and govern- ment institutions maintain Holstein perds exclusively. Now concerning the butterfat of various breeds of dairy cattle; All the world records for butterfat, made by dairy cattle, from one day to a year are held by Holstein cows. There were at last reports just forty-nine cows in the world, that have pro- duced forty pounds and over of but- ter In seven days, every one of which is a Holstein. There are five hundred and fifty cows that_ have made thirty-five pounds and over of butter in seven days, and each and every one of these are Holsteins. There are seven Holstein cows that have made from thirteen hundred to fifteen hundred and six pounds of butter in one year. Not one of any other breed. Two Holstein cows have made re- cords of over fifty pounds of butter in seven days. The Champion Ju- nior two year old *‘Carnation Ploneer Segls” No. 4561370, owned by Mini- kowski Farms; Mooreten,-N. D:,-just finished her test October 23, produc- ing 415.6 pounds of milk and 24,877 pounds of butterfat, which equals 31.09 pounds of butter in seven days. Now this champion senlor two year old, “Glen Alex Queen De Kol,” No. 275362, made in seven days 603.- 80 pounds of milk and .42.356 pounds of butter, either one of these cows produced more than any cow of any other age or breed, even more than the champion Guernsey cow ‘‘Murne Cowan” who made at seven years of age 29.28 pounds of butter in seven days, and she {s the highest record cow outside of the Holsteins. I sincerely hope that this will con- vince Mrs. Gerlinger that there is cream in Holstein milk. ‘We have both grade and purebred Holstein cows on the Sunny Dale Farm, we purchased our first purebred Holstein sire five years ago and have now at the head of our herd the second pure bred sire, whose dam produced 25.27 pounds of butter in seven days as a two year old, also 463.556 pounds of milk, 'His sire is “Col. Korndyke De Kol,” a son of “Pontiac Korn- dyke” the greatest of all Holstein sires. Now, from this combination of breeding we are realizing a tre- mendous increase in our cream checks over our former grade Guern- seys, Shorthorns, etc. Twenty-five progressive farmers have organized and are breeding Hol- steins with us, and we expect the great bluck and whites to make this country famous, just as they have Wisccnsin and southern Minnesota. And Mre. Gerlinger, it you should chance to visit the twin cities, and would patronize any one of the hun- dreds of hotels and eating houses, and order a bottle of milk, you would receive Holstein milk, produced by the most famous herds of dairy cat- tle in the great northwest. Now, in conclusion, we hope to have enlightened you concerning | Holstein cows and it in any way there is something you do not under- stand we will be more than glad to send official reports and statistics to your address if you wish them.

(United Press Staff Correspondent): New York, Dec. 7.—Young blood holds the sceptre of the athletic and sport world. Youngsters have come so complete- ly in power that, outside af baseball, an athlete is considered on the back slide when he rounds the twenty- eighth mile-stone of his course. Like with all rules, however, the exceptions to this rule are more in- teresting than its proofs. Age battled with youth more even- ly In the Olympic games than in any other contest of recent years. e Albert Hill, for instance, the British runner, who was one of the two athletes to win two events. Hill is 35 years of age and retired from athletics before the war, yet he came back and won the 800 and 1,500 metre runs. Hodge, the -British cross:country| runner, is another notable come-back. He is 32 years of age and had been out of a track suit for five years. Yet he outran a field of young blood and won the 3,000 metre steeplechase. Phillip Baker, another 30-year-old| Englishman, was second in the high! jump and beat Dick Landon in the| dual meet between the American and English teams in London after the Olympic games. - i “The three New York police whales, Pat Ryan, Pat McDonald and Matt; McGrath, are notable examples .of| veterans withstanding the rush of time. The Finns had Jonnie Myraa, a| 34-year-old giant, who threw the | javelin for a world’s record. Among our boxing celebrities ls.the‘ veteran Jack Britton, walteryenght, champion, who clings to his title al-| though he is 35 years of age. Jq}mny Kilbane, gray haired at 32, is still the featherweight champion. Baseball lists veterans galore who are still active, although “well up in years,” -as Dode Paskert, 39; Gavvy Cravath, 38; Jake Daubert, 35; Ed 35 Ivy Olson, 35; Konetehs, 20 Moicner, 34; Ty Cob IN THE TRACK OF ANIMALS MARKETS——LQCAL AND FOREIGN ,merly it was prescribed in powder Migration of ‘the; Beasts One- of the Causes of the Wanderings of Primitive Tribes. The. human problem is closely con- nected with that of the animal life of both the present and the pest. -Primitive man was a hunter. In the: early geologic ages, the geography of the earth was quite unlike what it is at present. ‘Land existed 'where today there are great lakes and seas, mountains were elevated and treeless deserts formed. Animals used the “land bridge” to ‘travel from one con- tinent to amother. At first the early tribesmen, little more than beasts themselves, banded together for pur- poses of defense against the danger- ous animals of the ground. The giant rhinoceroses, bison, mammoths, wolves, bears and tigers—all were the enemles of man, As men’s intellects developed, they waged an offensive warfare, and .with stones, clubs and rude spears attacked the animals of the plains and forests. Moreover, they became .dependent upon the beasts for food and skins so that, as they moved from place to place, the men followed on thelr heels. This an- imal migration was undoubtedly one of the many causes of the wander- ings of primitive tribes. Most im- portant of all, climate had s profound influence upon the development, life and wanderings of. primitive man and the animals upon which he fed. Although fts sclentific importance has long been recognized, Asia is less nown, paleontologically, than any other part of the world. The fossils of -eastern and central Asla are known only from a small collection of fragments purchased in the medi- cine shops of Tientsin, China, and described by a German \named Schlos- ser. Fossils are known there as “dragon bones,” and are supposed to possess remarkable medicinal quall- ties, FOUGHT TO HELP INSANE New England Woman Plonesr of One of the Worthiest Causes Ever -Engaged In. A New England woman, single-hand- ed, and in the scenes where Puritan ancestors had heartlessly condemned witches—old woman suffering mental allments—made the fight which open- ed the way for -insane asylums in this country as they are known today. The woman was Dorothea Lyne Dix, who ran away from her home in ‘Worcester, Mass., from a religious fa- natic of a father, The beginning of the nineteenth century saw only four fnsane asylums in this country, only one of which had been built by state direction, The scores operating to- day for more than 240,000 insane are the work’ of this woman, who, in later years, passionately cried, “I never knew childhood,” and who, at fourteen, taught school, her sleeves lengthened and her skirts made longer in a pitl- ful attempt to appear “grownup” and command due respect “by an adult ap- pearance.” /In 1841 she visited the house of correction in East Cambridge. What she saw ‘there started her on a tour of the jails and almshouses of Mas- sachusetts. Her memorial to the state legislature asking for reform pictured conditions as squalid and revolting as though from the pen of Dickens. — Amber Both Jewel and Medicine. Although it Is . sometimes denled that amber was known to the Greeks, in very early times it has actually been found at Mycenae, and the fact that the electron mecklace mentioned in the Odyssey is said to have been a gift from Phoenicla means much. Amber has been used(in medicine since . the time of Hippocrates; for- and given in poached egg.

TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 7, 1920 PURCHASE OF LUMBER 1S SLOWLY INCREASING The American Lumberman of Chi- cago, report as follgws on the lumber market: ! The lumber business is quiet, though it cannot be termed stag- nant. The volume of purchases is slowly increasing, especially of southern pine. Purchases of this wood for the last three weeks have exceeded production by. considerable margin, and the wprice situation is stronger. The senate committee on recon- struction and reproduction (com- monly called the Calder committee) is obtaining some very enlightening information on the economics of the lumber industry, says the American Lumberman of Chicago. The gen- eral public should be particularly in- terested in the Kansas City hearing where evidence was introduced showing that last spring southern pine prices averaged $59, f. o. b. mill ,but that today the prices aver- age $30 f. o. b. mill. In fact it is possible to buy some grades of south- ern- pine and Douglas fir at prices equal to the prewar prices, when the increase in freight is added to the prewar prices. As lumber producing centers are developed farther and farther from the east and middle west more and more of the cost of a home, of an of- fice building or of anything made of woed is represented in frefght. example, the freight charges on ord- inary building lumber from Seattle to Chicago are today approximately $20 per thousand feet, while the For| . freight charges from Seattle to New York are around $28. The item of freight plays an increasingly great part in the cost of building. Investi- gations by the American Lumberman reveal that today im} an all-wood house lumber and millwork repre- sent not more than 33.per cent of the total cost. Assume that an all- wood house is built in the vieinity of New York, and that it calls "for the utilization of 16,000 feet of lum- ber, which is an ample allowance. This house costs $6,000 to build and 33 per cent of this cost, or $2,000, represented the cost of, the lumber and mill work in it. Assume fur- ther that this lumber comes from the "ADDI'I'IONAL WANT ADS WIANTED—Position by engineer, fir- ing or repairing, have first class engineer’s ligense. ‘Address M. S. Haugo, Gen.

Actually freight plays a much bigger part in the total cost of the house, because:freight. must be paid on ‘all-the materials which enter into construction. Production continues to be curtailed and there is evident a tendency to further adjust prices. On the whole, howeyer, the market is steadier and here and there advances in prices are avid_ent.
