AGRICULTURAL CLUBS
HOLD FIRST RALLY

On Saturday, May It'll, the Nermiiron
Parish Agricultural Clubs held their
first annual rally, aud which they did
not have as big a crowd Of boys and
girls a. they would Ike to have had,
they feel thar they have had very
good beginning for Future rallies in the
Parish. They had ia the uoighhorho"d
Of hundred corn. pig, poultry, calf,
and other club members present.
The morning was given over to a get
together meeting aud talks bv Mayor
Leblanc, Supt Williams, Mr. Abbott,
stat, club Leader, Mr.. Casanova, Miss
Wilson and Ncsom Burt ant old cx-club
members. While they could not have
added to or taken from any of the talks
given, a. they were all very much ap-
preciatcd aud the club members feel
that the outstanding talk Of the morn
ing was Nesom s, as ii was a heart to
heart talk 10 a bunch of beginners in
club work from an old veteran who has
not only been there but who has come
out with honor. It makes them feel that
If one Of US can tell of what he has
done, that if they stick to it as Nesom
did, can make cldb work count for them
individually as vel, as for the Parish
at large,
In his talk Nesom told of the ups
and downs that he met with in his
years of club work, some of witch came
CLOSELY to touching their own hard licks
this wear, and some of the bright useful
events that gave them new inspiration
for the future.
The evening was given over to the
showing Of club pictures, one of which
was the Farm Boys Tour, of which
both, Nesom Burt and Abbeville's Club
President were members. The only re.
gret about the pictures was that more
of the people, as well as club members
of the Parish, did not get 10 see them.
Following the pictLres Miss Wilson
gave demonstration in preserving eggs
In water class after mhieh -shez ss~e-s.
demonstration In treating poultry for
lice. Bulletins along these lines were
placed in the hands of those desiring
them and more can be gotten BY either
writing the state department, or calling
at the Parish and Club Agent Offices
The eggs are now on exhibit in the store
of tie Abbeville Mercantile Go.
They also had an exhibit Of Girls
canning done last wear in the State,
under the supervision of Home AGENTS,
aud an exnibit of model farm buildings,
made by boys in the Gueydan Agricul.
tural High School. These buildings
were not put ON exhibit as work done
by club boyss, though most of it was
done by them, but for the purpose of
showing some good model buildings.
They thank the City Council for the
splendid assistance they gave in getting
up the rally and assure them of their
appreciation and that they are planning
TO come back next wear to partake of
their kind hospitality ten fold stronger,
with bigger and better exhibits, made
by home boys and girls,

Committee Of One Hundred Says England Responsible
 For Conditions m Ireland

the evidence regarding which seems to prove that:
 Il. The imperial British govern ment has created and introduced into Ireland force of at least 78,000 men, many of them youthful and in- experienced, and some of them con. victs; and has melted that force to unbridled violence.
 "2. The imperial British forces in Ireland have indiscriminately killed innocent men, women and children i; have tortured and shot prisoners while in custody, adopting the sub terfuges of refusal to halt and at tempting to escape; and have at. tributed to alleged Sim Fein Ex- tremists' the British assassination of prominent Irish Republicans.
 "3 House-burning and wanton de- struction of villages and cities by i'm perial English forces under imperial ! British officers have been counten anced, and ordered by officials of the British government; and elaborate provision by gasoline sprays and bombs has been made in number of instances for systematic incendiarism as part of a plant of terrorism.
 "A. campaign for the destruc. tion of the means of existence of the Irish people has been conducted by the burning of factories, creameries | crops and farm implements and the shooting of farm animals. This cam paign is carried on regardless of the results in widespread and acute suf. fering among women and children.
 "5. Acting under a series of pro
 clamations issued by the competent military authorities of the Imperial British forces, hostages are carried by forces exposed to the fire of the upon towns and villages as punish ment for alleged Offeuses of individ
 uals; private property is destroyed
 in raprisals for acts with which the owners have no connection; and the | civilian population is subjected to an
 inquisition upon the theory that in dividuals are in possession of infor
 nation valuable to the military forces
 of Great Britain. These acts of the
 imperial British forces are contrary to
 the laws of peace or war among
 modern civilized nations

 establish imperial British civil gov ernment in Ireland. Throughout the
 greater part of Ireland British courts
 have ceased to function; local, coun

WASHINGTON, April 8 (by Associ- ated Press ).-Moral responsibility for the present disorders in Ireland is placed upon the British government by the commission of the Committee of One Hundred Investigating the Irish question in a 3O,000-word re- port covering the examination of witnesses at public hearings held by the commission in Washington last November. December and January. The report has been issued under the title of The American Commits sion on Conditions in Ireland" which announces that it will continue the inquiry.
 Declaring that the commission was under the disadvantage of lacking the official British side of the case" except as it was gathered from docu- ments presented to it, the report de- clares that "the imperial British army in Ireland has been guilty of proved eXcesses, not incomparable in degree and kind with those alleged, by the Bryce report on Belgium atro- cities, to have been committed by the imperial German army" The Bryce similarly handicapped.
 Thirty-eight witness of alleged atro- cities including IS Irish, IS American and two English citizens, testified before the commission. The commits sion admits that it's report is eX parte in spite of it's efforts to hear all sides. The testimony available, the report says, gives the case therefore, almost wholly from the Irish Re publican or Sim Feinn viewpoint or from sources not unsympathetic to the application of the principle of self-determination to Ireland" The Ulster Unionist viewpoint and that of the British authorities in Ireland, the report says, were not represented among the witnesses.
 Summing up it's conclusions after hearing all the testimony the com mission finds that the Irish people are deprived of the protection of British law, to which they would be entitled as subjects of the British king. They are likewise deprived of the moral protection granted by inter- national law, to which they would be entitled as belligerents. They are at the mercy of imperial British forces which acting contrary both to all law and to standards of human conduct, have instituted in Ireland a terror,

she trembled. "More'n I know how

many times Philip made Tony tell him
she'd marry him, nor is 1t any ones
affair how many times he kissed her,

Philips conclusion.
I'm going to tell Cousin John and
Cousin Paul tonight that we're going
to be married" he said, and Tonnibel
had no inclination to forbid him.
With dark thoughts, Katherine was
watching for them to come back again.
She saw the happy shining face Of
the girl. saw Philip lift the little figure
from the car and draw her up the
steps. Her teeth came together in
sharp misery as she turned from the
window and went upstairs.

II like you heaps" she breathed
with suppressed emotion. She wanted
to throw her arms about him right
then. to tell him how she had longed
to be with him, all about her promise
that she would not leave the house
again without some one with her. She
was considering this when

you?"
II saw him in town today" he told
her finally and then almost cursed
himself for his brutality. She had
gone so white and was looking about
her helplessly.
Hell find me- mebbe," she hesitated
a haunted expression coming into her
eyes. "A1ebbe he will.'
"No. he wont; not If you let me
help YOU" exclaimed Philip. "Now.
listen to me! Don't 60 out Of Cousin
Paul's rooms for anything, no matter
what. Call servant if you want any
thing downstairs. And don't leave the
house unless you go with me. want
your promise that you will not come
downstairs. VIII you give 1t to me?"
Tony didn't understand why she
should promise this, and a whimsical
thought came into her mind that she
was always making promises to some
one. but she couldn't refuse him. and
Philip went away little happier and
feeling much more secure.
