Cutting In Towns

Pierre, Aug. 29.--Municipalities
have it within their power to require
the destruction of weeds within their
boundaries and can compel railroad
companies to comply with the provi-
sions of such an ordinance, accord
ing TO recent opinion from the state

The opinion was written in reply to

Mr.. Roberts points to sections TO-
005 to 10000 of the revised code of
1919 which he says. provide for the
destruction of certain weeds therein

ed"
Reference in these provisions lis

Berlin, Aug, 29.-American and

peace time relations Immediately
without waiting for ratification OF
the treaty signed here on Thursday,
il is said in well informed industrial
circles of this city. 1t is anticipated
that commercial treaties will be ne
gotiated and that consular services
will be reconstructed within brief
period. The establishment of credit
loans and preparations to ship into
the American market surplus prod
ucts of Germany, such as news print
paper, occupy the attention of indus
trial leaders here. Satisfaction over
the simplicity and straight forward
ness of the American treaty is gen
orally expressed in commercial cir
cles. where belief is expressed that
the same "reasonableness'' will char
acterize the United States in later ne
gotiations.
Germany had slight reason to ex-

AS the end of summer approaches.
hopes of further gains in business

certainties as marketes become more
settled is a potent factor in certain
quarters. and some relaxation of
credit restrictions as monetary
strains are modified is also an in
fluence. Progress in trades that
were quickest to experience recovery
from depression, as in textiles, has
met with no Interruption, while
some lines that have been laggards
in the moyebent, notably iron and
steel. are beginning to participate
moderately in the current revival.
After many months of conspicuous
bullishness in various channels, any

the right direction, and evidence that
buyers interest is being rekindled
appears in the increasing number of
future orders and inquiries.

the defendants being fined $50 and
costs each, the ducks seized as evil
dence were no longer required. In

DECLARED USELESS
BRITISH PREMIER REPLIES TO
DE VALERA'S LETTER TO DE-
FINITE AND COMPLETE RE-
FUSAL.

London, Aug. 29-Further peace
negotiations between Britain and
Ireland will be futile unless some
definite progress is made toward ac-
ceptance of a basis of settlement,
Premier Lloyd George declared to-
day in a communication to Eamonn
De Valera.
Lloyd George, replying to the
Sim Fein refusal to accept the Brit
ish peace terms, declared he was pro-
foundly disappointed that ireland
failed TO recognize the government
had gone to the limit in it's offer.
The premier said he considered
the British proposals completely full
filled the wish of the Irish people
for government with consent of the
governed which he said should be
the broad guiding principle of the
settlement.
lloyd Georges reply was forwar rd-
ed after the British cabinet meeting
at Downing street had thoroughly
gone over the Slim Fein refusal.
He pointed out that no British
government could ever accept the
Sim Fein argument that relations
between Ireland and the British EN-
pire were comparable with those OF
Holland and Belgium with Germany.
The government. he said, will dis
cuss no settlement which involves
Ireland's refusal to accept free and
equal partnership of Ireland and
Britain within the empire, under one
sovereign.
He insisted 1t was essential that
some definite and immediate prog
ress be made toward a basis of set
Element. Further negotiations he
declared, cannot be prolonged by a
mere exchange of notes.
