WINTER IS SEASON OF MUCH HARDSHIP

i FOR ALL FISHERMEN (By Associated Press) CURLING, N. F., Feb. 6. The winter months, always a period of privation for the scattered population of the -western shores of Newfoundland, loom this year as a terrible menace to the hardy fisherfolk along the coast. With months of winter still to come, the government of the colony already has been called upon to relieve the

hunger of the hamlets that dot the

coast from Bonne Bay north, due to the partial failure of the herring fish

eries last fall, and the freezing In of

the herring fleet before the fish could be taken to market.

The first disaster to the herring

fishermen was the falling off in the

catch to less than half of last year's

pack. At Bay of Islands, center of the herring industry on this coast, the pack for 1922 was onlv 9.600. as against 25,000 barrels for 1921. This

fact alone spelled a lean winter for the fishermen, who depend on the money paid them by the packers to tide them over the ice-bound, non-pro-

duct lve . season. But worse was to come. Cold Sets In. Soon after the first of December, extreme cold pet in, unprecedented for the season even in these icy latituds. The herring fleet, setting out to convey the herring pack to the outride markets, were caught off guard, and frozen in at Bay of Island. The packe-s, with their season's output on their hands, were unable to pay the fishermen. The latter, in turn, were unable to lay in their winter food supplies. To make the situation even worse, if worse could be possible, the demand for herring "on the outside" has been stronger this winter than usual, and good prices could have been obtained from the pack had delivery been possible. The Newfoundland government, appealed to for assistance when the menace was first seen, lost no time, in responding. The steamer Sagona was sent from St. John's and succeeded in saving 100 of the 200 fleet.s of nets that that had been frozen in. Of the remainder, 5p fleets sank with the weight of herring in them, and 50 more could not be reached. The Canadian government was appealed to and the icebreaker- Stanley was sent tip to the Bay of Islands, but she was too late. After a desperate effort to break through the ice barrier, the Stanley gave up the task and steamed sou til.

By L. V. SCHNEIDER (Written especially for the Richmond Palladium.) INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 6. One the highest knoll in Crown Hill cemetery here stand3 the tomb of James Whitcomb Riley, the immortal Hoosier poet, singer of songs of hope and cheer. A marble slab marks the grave and rising above are ten simple columns with Ionic capitals. Six years ago, this famous man, who endeared himself to hundreds who knew him, and to countless thousands who only knew of him, left this

life. He was sixty-seven years old, and if making life a little brighter for others i the true measure of service to mankind, then Riley accomplished much. Today, six years after the death of the celebrated poet, construction work is well under way on the first unit of the James Whitccmb Riley Hospital of Children, being built here as a state memorial to the poet and for the care and treatment of crippled and sick Indiana children. And before the end of thl year Indiana will have taken another forward ftep in the cause of a better, healthier and nobler childhood and, therefore, in the cause

of humanity. Is Gift of People. The Riley Hospital for Children will

be a $2,000,000 institution, the girt or the people of the state to the state, in memory of the state's most beloved poet. And could there be a -more fitting memorial to that great lover of children than a hospital wherein thousands of sick and suffering children annually will find relief from their suffering? James W'hitcomb Riley's voice is mute and his pen has been laid aside forever, yet his spirit lives on in the hearts of others and his love for children will live again in the Riley Hosnital for Children which, when en

tirely completed, will be one of the finest and most complete hospitals in the world of its kind. 'A number of years ago Riley appeared before an audience in Atlanta, Ga. After he had given his program he turned to a personal friend: "Did you notice the woman in the rear who left, weeping, after I had finished reciting 'The Happy Little Cripple'? I gave it by special request, but I shall never

do it again not in a public reading. Appropriate Memorial "The Indiana poet had that little cripple in his tender thought years before he wrote of him in tha theartbreaking poem," says the Atlanta Constitution in commenting on the subject, "and that, pea-haps, is why there is to be a Riley Memorial Children's

hospital in his native state of Indiana. Soon efter the death, on July 22,

1916, of the poet, a group of his closest friends formed the James Whitcomb Riley Memorial'Association. "It is interesting to recall that from the first of our conferences," says Hugh McK, Landon, president of the association, "there was an insistence on the idea of a living memorial." After a number of conferences a children's hospital was suggested as the most ' suitable memorial the poet could have and the idea won instant favor. In 1921 the Indiana Legislature appropriated $125,000 as the nucleous of the hospital building fund. The remainder of the $2,000,000 sum necessay to carry the project to successful completion is being raised by popular subscription and already more than $800,000 has been obtained either in cash or pledges. S. E. Smith Active

From the beginning of the movement Dr. Samuel E. Smith, superin

tendent of the Eastern Indiana Hos

pital for the Insane at Richmond, has taken an active and leading part in the

movement. Dr. Smith is a member of the state executive committee of the

hospital and while he does not attend every meeting of the committee, because of his other duties, he does, nevertheless, take an active part and his advice is always sought by the other members of the committee. Dr. Smith has been a member of the executive committee by virtue of the fact that he is a meViber of the board of trustees of Indiana University. He recently was elected, however, to membership in the Riley Memorial association by the unanimous vote of the directors. The first endeavor of the Memorial association was to purchase the Id Riley home in quaint old Lockerbie street here. The home was opened as a public shrine in April of last year

and has since been visited by more than 5,000 persons from all parts of the country. Many visitors have come

from foreign countries. The names of

many Richmond persons also are to be

found on the register at the home.( To Care for 350

The hospital will be made ud of a

group of buildings and 4vill cover 12 acres of ground. The capacity of the

Institution will be 350 patients at one

time, but it is expected that this will be doubled in time with the erection

of convalescent homes. Surrounding

the hospital will be an eighty-seven acre park, the gift of the city of Indianapolis, in which the convalescent homes are being built.

And so the movement is attracting

the favorable attention of the state and nation. Scores of Indiana clubs, societies and organizations are raising me-
