several reasons, one being a shortage
of finances, another being short

selves.

DETERMINATION. FORi

The Irish problem is forced upon
the attention Of the American peo-,
liole again, as the result of a conveI.-
/ zion of the Friends of Irish Freedom
HELD in Philadelphia, and the wide
1spread propaganda of which that has
&been part The spokesmen for
&[rish freedom now have specially
6strong appeal, since they ask all
EAmer;cans to apply to Ireland the
he Paris peace conference, the self
determination of peoples.
This point has been ably presented
Hby Cardinal Gibbons and many other
Heading Irish Americans. They urge
1.-THE American public to appeal to the
EParis conference, asking it Ito recog-
&nize the right Of the people of Ire
Eaand to select for themselves without
interference from any other people,

in future they shall live

brought to bear at Paris, along the
line desired. The task, however. is q
difficult one-made difficult by the
Irish people themselves.
In the case of every other small
nationality whose claims are present

conparativly little difference OF opin'

Columbia, March 3.-The South

sued the following:
Some concern was felt today at the
State central headquarters Of the cot
ton association when telephone
messages came inquiring about q
newspaper report Of 4 few days ago
to the effect that the senate Of the
State OF Texas was opposed" to acre
age reduction. AS a matter Of fact the
item was an injustice to the farmers
movement, for the senate Of the State
Of Texas passed upon bill unfavor-
ably because the bill was unconstltu-
tional. The State senate OF South
Carolina likewise voted down a bill to
the same effect

congress in New Orleans recently
brought the report that Texas would

cotton without foundation. We have

Those who advocate d return tt

The trouble is, that if the rest OF

all bound up together. The presen:

any clear-headed man that what af-
fects one nation affects ALL
If the United States does not play
its par1-a manly part-in the recon-
struction of the world, the rest Of the
world may actually go to the dogs.
Chaos in Europe and elsewhere would
be infinitely more costly and disas-
trous to America than any expense
and danger ne might incur in CO.
operating with Europe to establish a
new order.
And whether in chaos or order,
Europe that is not with US, hereafter,
will certainly be against us. If we
refuse now to play a consistent part,
making good our fine promises, we
shall have the enn1ity Of all the
world Instead of the worlds friend
ship. If the other powers succeeded
in setting up their own League ri
Nations after we pulled out. that
League would be league against
America
That would mean that the United
States would have to arm against
the whole world.
Is that what the opponents of The
present League plan want?

Girls WANTED ON FARMS.

The Woman's Land Army Of Amer
lea is not to be demobilized. On tht
contrary it is seeking many more re
cruits. The national director of the
organization, appointed by the gov.
eminent, is organizing branches Of
the farmerette army in the States
that need it most Through these
branches many women and girls will
be placed On farms this coming sum-
mer, in units and in smaller groups.
Last summer many colleges sent
units Of student workers to the farms
as an emergency measure. The
young women made good. Farmers
want more of them in the coming
season. And the girls themselves en-
|joyed the work, became interested IL
agriculture and wish to receive fur
|ther training in this work
There are many women working
Int seasonal trades who either are
Idle during the summer, living on
!an1all savings, or work at odd jobs.
THE college women, too, have nearly
three months which many Of them
|would rather spend in some useful
than as purely pleasure
|yacations. The land army offers both
groups of young women a chance tci
make living wage during the farm
[er's busiest season.
If working and living conditions
(are properly looked after, the land
army should become more popular as
knowledge of it's possibilities spreads.
The physical exercise in the open
!air should do a good deal to refresh
minds and bodies wearied by study,
Indoor life and sedentary work.
