DUBLIN. June 22.-In several Of
the western counties OF Ireland. dis
turbances arc now more agrarian
than political. The Sim Fein seeks
10 control the land movement and
prevent IL getting out OF hand It
has been decided that nobody shall be
attacked or his cattle driven 20 make
him sell part OF his land unless he
possesses more than 500 acres. This
s. a very exceptional amount for any
tenant to hold so that the agitation
IN future VIII be directed solely
against landlords and ranchers.
Proclamations have been issued in
the disturbed counties in the names
of their parliamentary representa-
tives fOrbidding claimants TO land

They point out that many OF the
claims which have been made are
without foundation, and only serve
10 create III feeling between those

Nobody knows where the prisoners

This is an age of conservation, be it
food, lumber, coal, gasoline, water
power or human energy. Greatest OF
all is the conservation of human life.
The man who takes a human life com
mits the supreme crime of the age.
Conversely, the man who saves a hui
man life is not only humanitarian but
an important factor III the economic
processes. to appraise the value of a
human life from the lowest and most
sordid considerations. Consequently, it
is with profound qualification that the
people of the state are officially in
formed that the Board of Charities and
Correction in the last three years has
cared for 400 children and has saved
for future usefulness 40 who would
have ceased to live but for the. pro.

children taken by the board, $50 had
to be taken to hospitals for treatment

MUST RAISE CORN AND GRAIN.

There is every indication that the
Vermont farmer must return to the
practices of his forefathers and pro-
duce his own corn and grain. Years
ago the cheap, fertile land of the Cen
trail West and the low freight rates on
corn and grain to the East gave the
Vermont farmer corn and grain cheaper
than lie could raise them and the buy
ing of these grains commenced. 1t de-
veloped very rapidly and now hardly
any Vermont farmer relies on his own
farm for corn to feed his stock.
There has been great change in
conditions. There is no more cheap
land in the West and it has produced
its virgin crop until fertilization is
necessary. The railroads no longer
grant low rates on grains for the east
ern markets and are likely to never
return to old time rates. Instead OF
buying western corn at from 20 cents
to ST a hundred pounds, the Vermont
farmer now pays from $4.65 hundred
and upwards. While western grains
may be cheaper in few years they
will never return to old-time figures

STILL UNANSWERED.

Homer Cummings of Connecticut,
chairman of the Democratic national
committee and temporary chairman of
the national Democratic convention in
San Francisco, made a very strong and
defiant speech at the opening of the
convention. He made a powerful show
ing of Democratic achievement, an al
most militant presentation of the is
sue of the league of nations and
sounded a clear call to the Democratic
party to fight for its life and contin-
ued control of the nation. 1t will be
generally admitted as superior to the
speech of Senator Lodge at the open
ing of the Republican national conven-
ton.
But the Republican party at Chicago
gave Mr.. Cummings challenge he did
not accept. The Chicago platform
says:
A Republican congress reduced the
estimates submitted by the administra
ton for the fiscal year 1920 almost
three billion dollars, and for the fiscal
wear 1921 over billion and quarter
dollars Greater economies could have
been effected had it not been for the
stubborn refusal of the administration
to cooperate with congress in an econ
omv program.
AS an example of the failure to re-
trench which has characterized the
postwar policy of the administration
we cite the fact that. not including
he war and navy departments, the ex-
| ecutive departments and other estab-
! lishments at Washington actually re-
cord an increase subsequent to the arm
istice of 2,1S4 employees. The net de
crease in payroll costs contained in
the 1921 demands submitted by the ad
ministration is only | per cent under
| that of 1920. The annual expenses OF
| federal operation can be reduced hun
dreds of millions of dollars without
imparing the efficiency of the public
service.
The question of what the Democrats
have done or will do to reduce the wa
expenses of the country, almost tive
years after the fighting in the World
war was stopped, remains unanswered
And The country wants relief from wa
expenses rather than forensic rehears
ais of what we did during the war. TIL
war and the league are not such ;
pressing issue as the conduct of TIN
country's business since the war wa
closed.

In the DAYS News.

Major General John A. Jejeune, who
today becomes commandant of the ma
rine corps, the Oldest branch of the
United States military establishment.
is known as one of the corps most
distinguished soldiers. Since his grad
uation from the Annapolis naval acad-
envy he has had brilliant career of
active service, including duty with the
fighting marines = in many parts of
the world as well as important assign
ments at naval stations in the United
States. In France during the World
war he commanded the Second division
at st. Mihiel and in the Meuse Argonne
offensive. In this capacity he gained
an enviable record by his qualities of
personal leadership, and by his widely
recognized professional ability. His
promotion to the highest post in the
service is in the nature of a reward
for his distinguished service abroad

DOORS.
BY LEE PAPE.

DOORS.
Most houses have all the doors they
need and no house is compleet without
at leest one. The 2 name differences
between door and a gate is ferst,
their opposite location, and End, people
have mulch less respeck for gate and
would rather kick it than mock on it.
But a gate is more useful than a door
because it does everything door can
DO and besides that it can be climbed
over and awffen is.
One of the most Embarrassing things
YOU can do in strange house is to
walk into a closet wen you thawt you
was opening the door to the hall. One
way to avoid this is to put a little
chawk mark on the inside of the door
wen you come in, in case there's a lot
of closets.
The doornob is a small but import
ant part of a door wich people never
Appreciate till it comes off. Most pee
pie never notice the doornob unless it
is brawt to their attention on account
of having jam or sumthing on it wen
they go to tern it.
Doors are CRATE things to give people
privacy and would give them still more
if it wasent for the key holes.
One of the most disgusting thing
4 door can do is to skweek wen you
don't wunt anybody to notice you going
out.
The easiest way to close door
would be to slam it if sumbody dident
genrelly make you go rite back and
close it rite. The ony thing that makes
a grown up person madden than bang
ing door wen you go out of the room
is not closing it at all. One of the
last things Children Tern is to shut
doors after them, on account of they
would Jest as leef have them open as
shut and maybe leefer.

because it costs more to produce them
and more to ship them. So the Yer
mont farmer can return to the produc-
tion of corn and oats with confidence
he will not soon be undersold by the
West.
