IRISH SHOP GIRLS, HECKLED BY POLICE AND SOLDIERS, JAILED - f By Aoclated Pre.) ' ATHLONE, Ireland Aprtl S. Two t: sisters, Misses Una and Lena. Sharkey pi of Strokestown. County Roscommon, ? are prisoners In the military barracks I. here after a series of alleged prosecuX liana by the Crown forces which hare i: made their case one of the most celeb rated In Western Ireland. An interesting feature of the case was the determination of the two 5 young . women, both of whom have visited the United States, to keep the V American flag flying over their shop, "The American Novelty Stores," at :v Stroketown. The White Crose association's re- - port on the affair says the girls re Z peatedly raised the flag but each time p. it was hauled down and seized. Finalt' ly the . flagpole was removed and a K threat made, with a revolver at the girls' heads, that if the Hag was again - 1 41 1 ... . t J V...A 1: Girls Play Joke. ' The young women's troubles began, it is said, when a retired police official conceived the idea- that they were turning their shop into an ammunition : factory because they had a knitting ! machine tn their sore. The sisters en--couraged him in that belief. When '. the joke on him became public, the . sged police official became the town ; butt. This made hint so angry, the ; White Cro?s report states,' that, with ; the aid of a fellow constable acting as ,: a' magistrate, he had the sisters ar- ;: rested and they were detained iu a ;, prison cell for two months. After, being released, the report sayp, "they were commanded to close :lheir stores, wbieti tyrannous order : they Ignored. Again they were arrest- . ed. and kept in prison for several months." On being freed they tried to re-open their aHiop with the result, the report aswrts, that their entire ' stock, valued at more than $15,000 was '' seized and carried to the military 1 camp.

V, Six months later, the report continI.ues, "the military took back a dilapidated remnant of the goods looled, ; and against the protests of the Misses Sharkey dumped them into their store. This was so'd at auction, realizing .about $200. With that amount and a "contribution made by sympathizers throughout the country, the sisters Vin engaged in business. . "The girls," the report says, "were "row persecuted by Black and Tans, who robbed the counter tills and removed whatever of value that struck their capricious fancy." -Because of efled threats of night attacks, the 'girls slept at the housed of;, their 'brother, a merchant; Persecution, it I Hsi charged,' was -then switched to the ! brother, whose ""safe was rifled by ; Crown forces and his premises looted." : Finally he and his sisters were arrested.

SL-. M IUI VIHMIJ of 50 Centuries Back CHICAGO, April 8. Once upon a time, or 107.391 years ago this winter to be exact a cute little baby mastodon and its fond mamma went down from Chicago to Mi nook a. 111., to get a dring. Winters were cold in these parts then and practically all the water was frozen over. But down Minooka way there was a spring that bubbled despite the cold. That Minooka spring was to the mastodon what Cuba is tothe thrsty Chicagoan today. Well, the lady mastodon and her offspring got out on tho ice and started to drink, and the ice cracked and the poor mastodons went crash right through and were drowned. And when the summer came the ice melted and made a bog there and other mastodons came to drink and got 6tuck in the mud and died. Nineteen years ago this February, to be exact. Elmer S. Riggs, of the Feld Museum, went down, to Minooka, which is twelve miles from Joliet, and dug up the skeletons of the baby mastodon and its unfortunate mother and seven others. These nine are the only survivors of the hundreds of mastodons, mammoths, moose and giant beaver which according to Mr. Riggs, trampled Chicago's loop district 50,000 to 200, -000 years ago. IRISH MOVEMENT IS SUSTAINED BY WOMEN 13y Associated Press) DUBLIN, April 8. Women are the inspiration and the sustaining power of the Irish National movement. This is well recognized throughout Ireland, even by British government officials whose task of subduing Sinn Fein militants and restoring peace has been made ten-fold more difficult by reason of it. Wherever one goes in this country he hears extolled the '"spirit of the women." Women shelter, feed and bind up the wnnn ds of the "flying columns" ol the Irish Republican army. They collect money for the Dail Eireann, they sew and nurse and do a hundred other things that fall to women in war time. What some of them do outside woman's accustomed sphere of activities can only be conjectures. Women Carry Weapons. General Strickland, governor of the huge area now under martial law, told the correspondent that women carried concealed under their skirts and cloaks the rifles, bombs and revolvers which were used by the men responsible for a number of ambushes of crown forces in the Cork district. Nothing in the last six months of guerilla fighting has more intrigued the imagination of newspaper readers than the arrest of the 14-year-old peasant girl of Cork county who, wearing steel armor around her body, was caught while scurrying across a field lugging a Lewis machine gun. Women, according to report, accompanied various parties of the Republican army who shot and killed the 14 Rritish intellieence officers on DubI lin's "Black Sunday" last November.

RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

PLANT TREES, URGE TO SCHOOL CHILDREN AS ARBOR DAY HEARS The planting of trees on Arbor Day, Friday, April 15 this year, aside from an aesthetic view has great economic value by reason of the merchantable timber possible later on, says Charles C. Dean, forester under the state de partment of conservation, who appeals to all citizens, especially school chil-1 dren, to observe Arbor Day. 1921 by an extensive tree planting program. The spirit of Arbor Day as conceived by its founders was to inculcate in youth a love and knowledge of trees. This work rightfully belongs in the schools of the land and in a bulletin the state forester urges thai pupils gather en masse on this day and observe it generally throughout Indiana. Mr. Deam suggests that schools arrange a program in advance, decide upon the number of trees to be planted and where, and the trees should be heeled in and on the ground ready for planting on the day of the exercises. He points out that it is unnecessary to confine Arbor Day planting! to the school grounds. In some instances no room is available. However, there are plenty of places in need of trees and in the country privilege can easily be secured to plant trees about churches, cemeteries, along roadsides. ' and especially roadsides paralleling streams where they are a source of beauty and comfort. In the cities it is suggested they be planted along streets, about churches and in parks and contiguous to publio buildings. Plant at Home. "In addition to universal planting by schools, each pupil should be encouraged to nlant one or more trees at home. The pupil can call it his or her tree, or plant it in honor of a new born or in commemoration of a deceased relative or friend. Then a personal and aesthetic reason prompt! the child to watch the tree all through lif and take added interest in its welfare," says Mr. Deam. "While the planting of trees for many years was considered only from a cultural standpoint, today such work has great economic aspect in view of the depleted timber stocks of the nation and particularly in Indiana where the bulk of timber used is iml'orted. "The commercial asrtect looms big when one considers that if each of 500,000 school children would plant one tree and all these trees lived to maturity. In such an event the lumber these tree? would in later years produce would have a market value of at least $3,000,000. It. should be remembered also that during the lives of "Bayer" on Genuine

"In planting trees' great care should be exercied to select trees that are long-lived, free of insect enemies and disease and that possess a high commercial value." Indiana Brevities CONNERSVTLLE Edward Ward, 65 years old, saved two older companions from drowning when an automobile in which they were riding plunged into 14 feet of water in white river here Thursday.

OPPOSITION (Continued from Page One.) over a million dollars is estimated to have been raised for sales tax propaganda. When the soldiers' compensation bill was before the house in 1920 a sales tax plan reported by a subcommittee wa3 defeated in the Republican caucu? and then abandoned. Sales tax bills will be introduced in house and senate this session but according to program the bill is to be passed in the senate either with the revenue bill or soldiers bonus bill, and if passed there it will be inserted in conference, if possible.

that a sales tax 'is a tax on the backs and bellies of the people, and any party favoring it will be defeated at the next election.' - Every student of the subject must come to the same conclusion." Rep. Frear states that his position in regard to the proposed tax is supported by the ablest tax bodies representing "great American industries." and by other tax experts. He concludes his letter with the following statements: Would Shift Burden. "Wealthy, powerful non-partisan influences, including great press interests, are in this campaign to set aside fundamental principles of taxation and are unconcerned with the political or economic effect on the country, so long as they can shift 'upwards of billion dollars' tax, which they now pay from their profits, over onto the consumer, and have their profits go untaxed. "This obnoxious sales tax will be a leading issue in the coming session and during the next campaign if it is passed. Do not consent to repeal any tax law now on the statute books unless one more just and equitable is to be substituted, and that excludes any sales tax." Coincident with Representative Frear's attack on the proposed Bales tax. Frederick E. Kip of Montclair, N.

tax, which he refers to as a "turnover' tax. He states that Rep. Good's phrase that a sales tax is a 'tax on the backs and bellies oj the people' does not interpret facts, and is in the same category as the phrases, "He kept us out of war," and "Too proud to fight." Existing Law Condemned. He declares the existing revenue law, which includes the excess profits

He attributes the unem ployment of the past winter as due in a great measure to the present revenue law.

solutely untrue both as to tariff and as to turnover tax. "Government experts are quoted af estimating that by reason of the present existing tax methods there is added to prices 23.2 per cent." He then estimates that the proposed sales tax of one per cent on all commodities and merchants will add per cent to 3 per cent to prices, and that in no case could it add more than SVfe per cent. "In otner.words," Kip says, "the present taxes are six times as great a burden on all consumers as the proposed turnover tax."
