NUMBER OF YOUNG WOMEN IN
RANK AND FILE OF “THE
LEAGUE OF DEATH”
DUBLIN, Sept., 20. </P)—'The Irish
Free State is getting ready a volun
tary reserve army of 50,000 men.
Recruiting will start soon.
The new reserve army will find a
secret, organized enemy awaiting it
in that mysterious organization
known as ‘ The Ghosts”. For nearly
a year "The Ghosts" have been
quiet. But the government never
knows when they will move next.
Several outrages against govern
mental authorities have been per
petrated by them, but despite much
ferreting the government has
never been able to leam much
about the organization.
Sometimes it is called "The Lea
gue of Death”. The members claim
to be descendants of the old "In
vincibles”, the secret Irish Society
which was responsible for the cam
paign of murder that culminated
hi 1882 in the assassination of Lord
Frederick Cavandish at Phoenix
Park.
It is known, too, that the mem
bers of “The Ghosts” have proved
good recruiting material for the
extremists of the secret, illegal
Irish Republican Army which still
exists. None knows who their lead
ers are. The rank and file is said
to contain a number of young
women.
Construction of a landing field
for the Graf Zeppelin, which is
scheduled to arrive at Fairbanks
next April, has been started bj
the contractors, Peter Olson, Wil
liam McGowan and R. J- Han
son. They bid $28.50 an acre on
the job.

TO PROTECT EVERLASTING
STRAWBERRIES
To produce early and late matur
ing strawberries, watch your bed
carefully for the first blossoms in
spring. Stake these plants and
pinch off all but a few blossoms,
thus allowing the first to mature
quickly. Allow' one or more runners
to become rooted and replant these.
These plants will bear many days
in advance of others. Watch for
plants that begin bearing late and
follow the same process with re
spect to staking. Plants that have
been hidden beneath heavy grass
along the fense have a tendence to
continue bearing from a week to 10
days after the strawberry season
closes, and cease only with the |
frost.

THINK THIS OVER!
‘In men whom men condemn
as ill
I find so much of goodness
still—
In men whom men pronounce
devine
I hesitate to draw the line
I find so much of sin and blot,
Between the two where God
hath not?’ ”
