LEGION APPROVES
OF STATE BONUS
Yaktma, Wash.--Eighty American
Legion post commanders from all parts
of the state unanimously approved a
bill drafted by the executive commit-
tee of the state organization providing
that every Washington man In the
world war be paid a state bonus of $15
for each month served.
Though questions of referendum or
initiative action to place the proposal
before the people of the state, in case
!of failure by the legislature to efiact
the measure, were disclosed, the final
decision was to put it up to the legis-
lature at the special session this
month.
The convention also adopted resolu-
tions indorsing a proposal to create a
state constabulary of 100 men, nine of-

I THE I'ROFITS
Oxford, Englaml, February 14, 1920.
The average person wouhl expect,
upon landing in Ireland at the pres-
ent time, to step into the midst of
open disorder aml violence. He wouhl
be surprised if, someone were not
quietly murdered before his eyes
within a nhour after his arrival. Yet
two American classmates of mine,
who have just returned from a six
weeks' trip to Ireland, tell me that
nothing of the sort happened, so far
as they were concerned, and that ' ex-
:ternally the trip was rather dull.
They qualified this statement by say-
ing that there was a great deal of
suppressed excitement over the at-
tack upon Lord French, and that
sympathy was expressed, in 'their
presence---for the family of the boy
who tried to murder him. They spent
some time as lodgers with the post-
mistress of a little south Irish vil-
lage, and report that a large part of
the mail was addressed to friends of
the villagers at one or another of the
larger Irish jails.
I am dealing this week with south-
ern Ireland only, and northeast Ul-
ster especially must be excluded from
any generalizations which I draw.
My friends were surprised and im-
pressed by the extent to which illit-
eracy still prevails in Ireland. Their
landlady told them that while sugar
was rationed, she, as the proprietor
of a boarding house, was able to
secure it in quantity, subject to mak-
ing a return of the number of guests
and the amount used, which must
correspond with the legal allowance.
All went well while her brother lived
for he was educated, and filled in the
return by figuring how much they
could legally use, and making the
figures correspond with this result.
But the poor man died, and there
was no one left who knew fractions
consequently the landlady was ar-
rested and fined, and all her troubles
dated from that day.
Prohibition Unheard Of
This good woman asked her Amer-
ican guests, if they knew anything
about profitbering. She said she had
heard that there was a lot of money
to be made at it, but she didn't know
just what it was and couldn't find
anyone who did.
The prohibition question in Ireland
is at least one stage behind England.
No one seems to have heard of it.
My friends asked a policeman what
the principal industrial plants of the
city were. He named seven brewer-
lea, one distillery, and on iron foun-
dry. In Cork, a city of 70,000, they
fohnd 500 public houses (saloons.)
It is estimated that the Irish labor-
ing man spends one-tlird of his
wages for liquor.
Considering these facts it is not
surprising that although Ireland is
enjoying the most prosperous period
in her history, the poor are as miser-
ably poor as ever. One of my friends
who has been in the Orient, said he
kept thinking of Indian. The great-
est difference seemed to him to be
that the huts of the peasants were
of stone instead of mud. The Irish
laborer gets but a pound a week $4.86
at normal exchange.) So great is the
English demaml for Irish agricultural
products that prices are very high
hogs as much as thirty-five cents a
pound' on the hoof, for example. The
well-to-do farmers are the people
who are making the money.
In the neighborhood of Cork the
people are looking to our oht friend
not be treated as an alien enemy. "The
war is on," he said, "anti I think no
more of the death of a policenmn in
h'eland than of the death of a sol-
dier on either side of the battle line."
It is to the credit of Oxford that he
won his debate.
In Ireland today, every police sta-
tion is barricaded with san(Ibags and
supplied with live hand grenades.
The policemen never go out singly
or after dark. The country is garrison-
ed by about 40,000 English soldiers.
Daring crime--or acts of guerilla
warfare--are reported almost daily.
Yet I would not have my readers
i think of the Irish people as blood-
i t'qirsty. They are in fact the kindest
ptiople in the world. As my two
friends were leaving, the other day,
the little hotel where they spent most
of their vacation, the lamllady gave
them a two-pound bag of sugar, and
refused to take anything for it. That
i s the way they tip in Ireland.

WHY SUFFER SO?

People around here recommen(t
Dean's Kidney Pills. Could you ask
for stronger pxoof of merit?
Mrs. G. A. Plympton, 1005 S. Pros-
pect Ave., Tacoma, Wash., says: "A
few years ago I was in the hospital
for an operation and after I got out
my kidneys began to bother me a
great deal. I shall never forget the
miserable backaches. My back was
so lame and it hurt me so terribly, I
couht hardly go. That constant pain-
ing aml aching in the back seemed
to take all my strength and ambition.
My kidneys were weak and that fre-
quently caused swellings of my hands
and feet. I was awfully bad off when
a friend told me about.Dean's Kidney
Pills. Dean's helped me from the
start and I steadily improved. I
kept on using them and in a short
time they had completely and perm-
anently cured me."
i Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
I simply ask for a kidney remedy--get
Dean's Kidney Pills--the same that
Mrs. Plympton had. Foster-Milbulaz

The secretary estimated the cost of
returning the dead and concentrating
the bodies remaining in cemeteries
overseas at $30,000,000.
While 111 bodies of American dead
have been returned from Archangel,
Secretary Baker said the same nun-

people are easygoing, and will have
no objection to buying tractors made
in Ireland, whereas I should not dare
for the job of selling English goods
to the Irish.
Sinn Finn Is Strong
Sinn Fain has an amazing hold
upon the Irish nation. A British
officer whom I know spent some time
in Ireland about a year ago, nnd
stayed at the home of an educator
who is at the very head of his pro-
fession in Ireland. his man told him
that every penny's worth of property I
he owned had been signed over to
the Sinn Fein government, to be used
whenever they needed it, anti that
the same was true of everyone and
everything in the parish. Certainly it
is a mistake to regard the revolution-
ary organization as the work of a
few hot-headed extremists.
Recently, in Oxford, an Irish u-
dergraduate, in a debate upon the
Irish question, declared that he couht
t
of performance, reputation, appearance and service with
any other car selling under $1500.
Orders must be placed well in advance in order to secure
the BEST ALL-AROUND MOTOR CAR in the class.
If you are considering such a purchase right now is the
time. Price, Touring or Roadster $1245 F. O, B. Shelton.
