Cardinal Asks
Contributions To
Irish Relief Fund
Natives of Azores Attract
Attention at Union Station
Copy of Telegram Sent to All
Archbishops and Bishops
Received By Nebraska
Committee Chairman.
John Rush. Nebraska chairman of
the Irish relief fund, received from
organ J. O'Brien, national chair--"fnan.
the following copy of a tele
gram from Cardinal Gibbons to all
irehbishops and bishops:
earnestly beg all kind-hearted
ftia generous Americans to contri
bute to the fund for the relief of
the many thousands now suffering
want in Ireland. Authentic informa
tion reveals that villages, towns and
cities have in large part been burned
Or wrecked, homes laid in ruins,
factories and creameries destroyed,
IptJ thousands of persons thrown cut
Hfeir families are left dependent for
lood and shelter upon tne cnaniy
Sotners. in many places me su
tion is acute, and relief is now
being administered by a committee
of American and Irish Quakers,
without distinction of religion or
politics.
"All funds are to be expended
solely for relief under the supervi
sion of men of the highest character
and integrity. Contributors will
have the satisfaction of knowing
that their money is relieving des
titution, and bringing comfort and
consolation to the women and chil
dren of that race that has itself al
ways been pre-eminently distin
guished for generosity and charity.
. i. "While the sad plight of the des
titute in Ireland appeals to our com
mon sentiments of humanity, it
ought to touch American hearts with
special force. The Irish people out
of their poverty, have more than
once in times past, sent aid to suf
fering Americans. Nor should we
forget that not even to the French
nation do we owe more for the
achievement of our independence,
than we owe to the Irish soldiers
of the American revolution. To the
French we have proved that a na
tion may be moved by sentiments
ol gratitude. Let us pay some small
portion to the, Irish, by practical
sympathy in their sufferings.
"I need not urge upon Americans
of Irish descent their special duty
to their own flesh and blood. They
have given generously to all other
suffering peoples, they will not for
get their own.
"I recommend this cause to the
Catholic clergy of this country what
ever be their own racial origin. The
whole Catholic church of America
is most deeply indebted to the Irish
people. It is not much to expect
that in every parish of our land,
effective means be taken to collect
funds for the relief of suffering Ire
land." ,

Montana Ranchers Returning

Covered Wagons Used.
f,
Grand Island. Neb.. March 9.
Soecial.1 Amid the shimmer of
ailing snow a canvas-covered wag
on stopped at the tourists camp
on the Lincoln Highway here. It
bore, on its side the slogan. Illi
nois or Bust." In the wagon were
Frank C. Holloway and five children
and his brother. Fred. They came
from their ranch southwest of the
Crow atrencv. in Montana.
Six years ago the two brothers j
sold their farms in Grundy county, ;
Illinois, for $500,000 and invested in i
cattle and land in MontanaHeavy
drouths prevented the growth of
forage crops and they have been
paying $65 for alfalfa hay. Then
came the blizzards , of last winter
t which caught cattle under hill ledges,
and smothered them. Following
Ms was the drop in cattle prices.
The Holloways have left their land
behind, sold what cattle they had
left and with the team and wagon
are on their way back home.
The trip of 900 miles, thus far
covered, has taken 36 days. They
still have 600 miles ahead of them
which they expect to complete by
April 1. The Holloways say that
hundreds of ranchers' families are re
turning to Illinois and Ohio the same
way. .
There is a note of sadness in the
old wagon. Both brothers' wives
and Fred Holloway's two little girls
snd one little boy died two winters
ago of influenza. Their aged pa
rents, who later came to Wyoming,
died there.
Huge Vegetables and
Fruits Are Displayed
Al notions of standard sizes for
familiar fruits and vegetables are
wiped out after a visit to the agri
cultural display in the Union Pacific
building, main floor.
- Potatoes weighing three and one
half pounds each, peaches that tip
the scales at one pound, celery stalks
a yard long, cucumbers 15 inches
high and asparague tips which re
quire plates eight inches -wide, are
among the giant specimens, 'all
grown in the west.
Cherries big as plums, cantaloupes
big as watermelons and apples well
in the Casaba melon class raise the
admiration of all who visit the ex
hibit. Peanuts growing on the vine,
sugar beets 20 inches high, and an
unusual showing of dehydrated veg
etables is included in the display.
There are even dehydrated tomatoes,
though tomatoes are popularly sup
posed unsatisfactory for dehydra
tion. An appetizing array of these pro
ducts, converted into fruit and veg
etable satads, and otherwise ar
ranged for serving, is an additional
feature of the exhibit.
Public school children are spe
cially invited to view the exhibit,
which is maintained for the benefit
of prospective farmers. -
