4 STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE

Friends and relatives of Thomas F. Wasson, county superintendent of schools in Crawford county, are amaz. ed over his disappearance. Since November l MT. Wasson has been missing from his office and home and so far as could be learned from his friends and relatives no word has been received from him since that time as to his whereabouts. County Judge Starbird Monday received sev- eral applications when he convened probate court for the county superin- tendency but took no action pending a further Investigation
 No reason can be assigned for Wasson's sudden leave. Rumors are afloat that he told several parties in Van Buren that he was going to San Francisco, Cal, but these could not be confirmed. Mrs Wasson who re- sides in this city states that she has received no word from her husband since he left on or about November and that she could not imagine what caused his sudden departure.

Irish Home Rule

Editor Putnam Patriot: Being on a short visit to friends in your neighbour hood, and since Christmas brings good cheer and peace on earth 10 men of good will, the following msy interest your many readers and especially the Irish people of your vicinity to know how Home Rule for old Ireland stands at this time.
 This is the last Christmas and New Year In Ireland under alien rule, for before another Christmas comes the Home Rule Bill will be law and Ire. land will be tn possession of national self government for which her people have so long prayed and struggled and sacrificed. The members ot the Irish party, who of course know the situa- tion thoroughly, are unanimous in as. surance of this, one and all emphati- cally expressing the belief that the bill will become a law next y ar. Swift MacNeil, an expert and professor in matters of constitutional law and gov. ernment has declared that the placing on the statute book of the lrish govern ment bill (Home Rule BilN in June, 1914, may be regarded as quite as cer- tain as anything can,in human affairs be certain.
 Friends and foes of the bill alike con- sider that no obstacle, except in Mir. Redmond's phrase, a political earth quake, can bar it's achievement. There is not likely to be any obstacle of that kind. The government have a maiori- ty of over a hundred in the House of Commons and the veto of the House of Lords is dead and gone. So the bill will be passed in the House of Com mons for the third time in May of this year. Then it will go to the House of Lords which of course will reject it. That will be the third House of Lords rejection, and then over their heads and in spite of their rejection the bill will be presented to the King and re- ceive his assent and signature. Thus the Home Rule Bill will become law, the law of King and Parliament. This will be in June next. The opening day of the Irish Parliament may be earlier or later as decided by order in council. Assuming that the bill will receive theRoyal assent next June and that the appointed day be the day fixed in the bill subject to alterations by or der of the council 1t would come into operatian as an Act of Parliament on the second Tuesday in February, 1915. It will be great and glorious event for Ireland, great and glorious for the old land and the old race, and the first Christmas under Home Rule will be merrier and happier for the Irish peo- pie, old and young, than any Christ mas in Ireland for many century.
 Yours, TIP.

 The Sunday school concert at the Congregational church sunday even. ing was unusually interesting. The night was pleasant one and the audi ence was large one which probably inspired the children tO do their best. A manager filled with straw was placed on the platform and each class in vari. ous ways brought their gifts and put them into the manager, for as far as possible each child brought a gift for someone who had had no Christmas gifts. One class came dressed as little bakers, bearing each loaf of bread and each repeating T Bible verse as they laid them ,down. And the class represented the "Red Crossn nurses bearing gifts for the sick. Four "Par- eel Postmenn gathered up tue pack. ages from other classes and carried them to the manager with m appro. priale recitation. Miss Louise Gros- venor's class Of the older boys have brought the money they have been earning during the summer 10 help on boy in the West, who is trying to get an education and Miss Grosvenor gave little sketch of the boy (which was very interestingly, after the boys had presented their gift.
