In the Dali Eireann over the peace
settlement with a consequent appeal
to a general election. II would be a
split that would play into the hands

an issue all the venom in Ireland.
In this connection II was said today
that there is possibility Of De Valera
settling the trouble. 1t is probable
Sim Fein leader told me today
that the Dali will sit in secrecy for
several hours before the press Is ad
mitted Wednesday. II this is so II
means that the Irish Parliament will
discuss it's difficulties and try to reach
an agreement to placate De Valera.
Then when the press is admitted they
will express a unanimous verdict for
ratification OF the treaty.
Tomorrow all churches win offer
a 'Te Deum" for the successful con.
clusion Of the peace.
Lets keep our treaty. the first we
have made In our whole history" said

in Heaven above and in the earth be-
meath In six days and seven nights. ]

known as pleasure resort and Is
situated in the Irish Sea, has Its
own legislature and is not bound by
any acts of Parliament, unless it is

The Butter Contest

The butter contestants resumed
their work in butter making Septem-
ber 1st and last Tuesday the result
of their work was we'll demonstrated
when they met at the Chamber of
Commerce for the purpose of having
their butter judged.
This was the fourth series of but
ter scoring since the contest opened
last spring. 1t is the purpose Of the
county agent to have their butter
scored twlce in each season and there
by prove their ability of making good
butter. A good butter maker can
make butter any time and under any
weather conditions. So far, these con-
testants have proved their worth, and
regardless Of the intense heat their
butter has scored we'll. Mrs. T. Abe
Gallman of Bishop club made highest
score, which was 921a. This is very
exciting contest as there are several
others whose butter scored almost as
high.
We were very fortunate in secur-
ing the services of Miss Elizabeth
Forney, the state dairy specialist OF
Winthrop college, to do the scoring
contests that she had attended this
month. The ladies of the home
demonstration clubs realize what Miss
Forney is doing for them and they
don't hesitate to say that they con.
slider this the best piece of work that
has been done for them this year
They had unique way of express.
ing their gratitude to her last Tues.
day by giving her a surprise picnic
The lunch was well prepared and il
showed up well in quantity as well as
quality. The table simply groanet
under its load. The ladies deserve
much credit for preparing such won
derful lunch, and it was certainly ap
preciated both by Miss Forney and tn,
county agent.
