M. NJ. Powell Enjoys Visit from
RrOfher

Almet Powell of St. Petersburg,
Fla, is spending a few days with his
brother, NJ. M. Powell, former county
commissioner. He will spend week
in Minnesota on his return, where he
has interests. The brothers had not
met in sixteen years. Their boyhood
home was Gilman, III. The brothers
visited the Independent office and re-
called incidents of their boyhood days.
They agreed that the people of the
present generation do not know what
hard times really are. When they
were boys they went barefoot all sum-
mer until late in the fall and it was
not uncommon on frosty mornings for
them to visit the COW lot and kick the
cows up so they might warm their
feet where the bovines lay. They
both knew Abraham LINCOLN. M. M.
Powell as lad of ten recalls how
the Great Emancipator placed his hand
on his head and shook hands with
him.
Almet Powell is now making Flor
ida his permanent home. St. Peters
burg is wonderful city. A band is
hired for IL weeks during the winter
Tor 100000 to give two concerts a
day. Twenty thousand people fire.
uuently attend the concerts. Mr..
Powell is a Shriner, being a member
of Medina Temple which has $4,000
members.

Different persons estimate this acre
age to be from one-third to one-half
the total acreage of the community.
Taking the former estimate would
make total acreage of 4,800 acres
for the community.
Unless it rains within two weeks
there will be less potatoes dug. this
fall than were planted for seed last
spring. And no matter how soon it
may rain the yield cannot exceed one
half of last years crop.
The Agricultural Department of the
U. S. government reported for August
greater decline in prospects of yield
for potatoes than any other crop. The
conditions of potatoes as expressed in
per cent of the average crop is 65.8
or less than a two-third crop. This
is much lower than was reported for
August, 1919 What we may have
to pay for potatoes next Spring is
but wild guess.

Fourth Fire Damages Old Dakota
Bakery Building

Fire which started in the floor of
the old Dakota Bakery building on
Third street N. E. at 3 o'clock Monday
morning, caught in the roof above,
doing considerable damage before the
firemen succeeded in putting out the
blaze. The loss is more than cover
ed by insurance. The building is oc-
cupied by the plant Of the Purity Ice
Cream Co. Just how the fire started
has not been fully determined, but
there is more or less mystery attached
to it and officers will undoubtedly be
able to solve it, they believe. The
building has caught fire four different
times. Chief Leas declares that this
is the fire departments training
tower. The building is owEed by
Grams Bros.

news WELL Received
Years Of Struggle Ended When Sim

Agree on Terms Of Peace
for ireland.

London - England and Ireland
awoke from troubled sleep of de-
spondency over the Irish situation to
learn the Joyous news Of a sensational
and wholly unexpected agreement
reached between the English and Irish
conferees In Tuesdays small hours.
The negotiations for a settlement
were considered to have definitely col
lapsed, following an optimistic outlook
Sunday, and the compromise achieved
in Premier Lloyd Georges somber lit
tie official home in Downing street,
after nightlong struggle, seems like
ly to be chronicled as the most mo-
mentous event in the history of Anglo
Irish relations.
While the agreement must still be
submitted to the Dali Eireann and the
British parliament for ratification,
there was disposition in all quarters
in London to regard the outlook as Of
the brightest.
Cabinet Adopts Agreement.
The British cabinet, at it's meeting,
unanimously adopted the draft agree
ment with the Sim Fein and congrat-
ulated Lloyd George and the members
Of the delegation in the Irish confer
ence on the success of the negotia-
tons.
King George telegraphed Lloyd
George the royal congratulations on
the reaching of the Irish agreement.
Ireland, under the peace settlement,
signed by representatives of the Brit
ish and Sim Fem governments will be
known as the Irish Free State" Lord
Chancellor Birkenhead announced
The provisions of the agreement as
outlined by Birke1head, are:
The new dominion is to be known
as "The Irish Free State"
1t is to have the same status as Can
ada, Australia, New Zealand and
South Africa with one reservation.
In matters of finance the Free State
government will rule supreme.
The new government must pay her
portion of the national war debt.
Sim Fem must give reasonable
guarantees to the South Ireland union
list minority.
If Ulster does not wish to join the
Free State, she may retain her own
status, the chancellor declared. In
that case she will submit to the ruling
of boundary commission which will
determine the boundary line between
the Irish Free State and Ulster.
