-CAN IRELAND STAND ALoNEr
Sim Feiners Post Bills Telling Why
Ireland Should Be n Republic.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
DUBLIN. May 25.-The most impor-
taDt electioneering document which is
being used by the Sim Feiners in
their contest against the Irish Ma
tionalists in East Cavan is an appeal
for the establishment of a republic
in Ireland. The Associated Press cor
respondent, in a tour of the East Ca
van district, found this document
posted everywhere on public buildings
and at cgUss-roads. generally sur
mounted by a small Sim Fein flag.
II was in the form of a small hand
bill. privately printed by Arthur Grif-
fifth who is now interned in England.
The document reads in part: Can
Ireland stand alone? Is she rich
enough to set up as an independent
nation?
These are questions which can best
be answered by comparing ireland
with small nations OF Europe that
have have prospered in freedom. See
how Ireland holds her own in size:
Belgium has 1000 square miles; Hol-
land, 1900; Denmark. 1900; Switz-
erland. $4,000; Ireland, $4,000; Serbia.
$4,000; Portugal. $4,000; Greece, a.
900.
In population also she is well 10
the fore. Norway, Denmark and
Switzerland; all have less than her
4 100000 population. Serbia, Bulgaria
and Greece have only one or two hun
1red thousand more
What do these nations pay each
year to run their business-and in
most cases do their business better

bills: Serbia, s5,25O,OOO: Greece, e5.-

Preserving the Peace.

II 1T takes two to make a quarrel, +"
II is equally true that 1t takes the good
will of both to preserve an active
friendliness between two great ma
tions. Not so very long ago, the Unit
ed States and Canada quietly cele-
brated a peace maintained without a
fort or a gun on either side of the
3,500-mile border. More recently, the
State Department at Washington has
called attention to the fact that there
has been completed similar hundred
years peace between Argentina and
the United States. 1t thus seems evil
dent that when two nations wish to do
so. it is fairly easy to preserve between
them harmony and good faith.-Chris-

Food Hint for Today
How to Can vegetable Mixtures.

Attractive and economical vegetable
mixtures to be served in salads, with
omelets, escalloped dishes, and gar
nishes for meat dishes can be canned at
home. This by-product may be canned
often when small quantities are left
from packing different vegetables
whole. ANY desired combinations may
be made. Vegetables maturing in the
same season should be used. A good
combination for the spring would be
carrots, peas, string beans, and on
ions. A mixture which could be made
from the fall garden might consist of
peppers, celery, onions, and small
lima beams. (Beets can not be used
In such mixtures because they discoi-
or the entire contents of the jar.) All
these vegetables are prepared sepa-
rately as for canning and packed in
