 uled for Shanghai

Shanghai, Aug. 17.-Plans were talk Ing form through the summer in Shanghai to open a campaign in the fall to raise final Taels 15O, ,OOO to begin work on the erection of the first build tngs of new American school. These first structures consisting of a class room building and a dormitory and the ground will cost approximately Taels 467 GOO, or about $33O, GOO in gold. Of the Taels 467 ,OOO required, Ills 324 ,OOO have been raised. Tls. 1O7 ,OOO having been given in a campaign for funds held in Shanghai last year and Gold $loO,OOO having been contributed by Mission Boards in the United States
 It has been planned to make the new school a center of American community life in Shanghai. The site that has been selected is a tract of about IT acres located admirably in the French Con- cession.
 The American school in Shanghai or iginally was founded by the various northern part of the city In the school American missions in 1912. being .hC;;..S- ed in number of dwellings n the year just closed 219 pupils were cared for and the facilities of the institution were taxed to the utmost to provide for all applicants. The school now pro- vides eight years of school work and four years of high school. A class of ten was graduated this year.
 While under control of missions in Shanghai the school has always been open to Americans generally. A change to be made in connection with the new project is that the new institution will be governed by a board of managers of whom half will be appointed by the diff ferent missions and half by represen- tatives of the business community

of secession, because there has never been union.
 North Of Ireland.
 "North Ireland had regarded it. self from it's own viewpoint, and in entering negotiations they need not give up that point of view. l would be willing to suggest to the Irish people that they give up good deal in order to have Ireland able to look into the future without anticipating distract:ng internal problems.
 "All the time these signs have mean. an attempt to get into touch with the people of the north and tell them we have no enmity and would make sacrifices for them which wa would never think oi making Tor Britain We will be ready to give them every safeguard any reasonable person could say they were entitled to, and we are ready to leave the question of tha north to external ar bitration or leav the whola question to exterra! arbitration.
 England's Claim Unreasonable.
 "England's claim is unreasonaoie. The claims of the minority in Ireland are unreasonable. But even unreason- able claims we would be ready to con- slider, and I for one would be ready to go a long way to give way to them, particularly to their sentiment II we could get them to come with us and consider the interests of their own country and not be allying themselves with foreigners"
 MT. De Valera said the Irish nation did not stand between England and the world and was not shutting up the seas between the two islands. No Enmity to England. we have no enmity to England" i" he declared. "At least if this uestion were settled I believe there would be none. The only enmity is to that rule which the Irish people hate to the marrow of their bones."
 It was said, remarked the republi- can leader, that the Irish question was a problem. It was a problem, he de- clared-a problem of a powerful, self ish person wishing to encroach upon rights, the property and the freedom of his neighbors. That was the fun damental problem to be settled. Human nature had to be taken into lconsideration, he pointed out, and they who were working for com piete and final settlement were to see to it that relations must be adjusted on the basis of right. Therefore, in considering the problem they who Nhad right on their, side, he said, must count.
 "The Irish people won't finch how
 because more arms are being sen' for" he declared.

HOUSEWIVES SEEK
 PRODUCTION AIDS
All Kinds of Experiments Being Tried In Effort to Increase Output of Fac
 tories-Premium System Used.

Riga, Latvia, Aug 17-Many experi- ments are being introduced in the man agement and supply system of Russian factories in an effort by the Bolshevik government to increase production i'll order to obtain products to exchange with the peasants for food.
 Some time ago piece work scale was introduced in the hope that this would incite individual workmen to in- creased efforts. According to a Mos- COW dispatch, all factory arrangements have been ordered to carry it into eff feet urgently and immediately.
 In many industrial concerns a collec- tive >rationing plan has been substituted for the old system of granting individ- ual -rations Under the new method a whole factory is granted a monthly al- lowance of foodstuf and money on the condition that it turns out a stipulated amount of goods.
 If the factory is able to produce this quantity with smaller number of workmen than estimated, the surplus of foodstuffs and money can be distrib- uted among the workmen as a pre- mium.
 The All-Russian Council of Trade Unions has issued a circular pointing out that increase of wages in money payments are inadvisable at this time because this would necessitate an in- crease in the output of currency which the government is even now unable to print in sufficient quantities. The gov ernment is said to have been printing until lately about POO, ,0OO, ,OOO.O .OOO o1 rubles of paper money a month. This amount has been increased to the maxi mum possible output of the printing machines.

COMMITTEE SEEKS ! EXPERTS ADVICE
Would Have Potent Data in
 Trolley Matter

The special committee named bv the common council of the city to invest;- gate conditions of the Connecticut 70. with view to securing a decrease m Idre rates, better service, or the return or the jitneys, met last night Tn clty hall. Alderman Angelo M. Fdonessa was named chairman. The committee got into interested conver- satlon about their task and everyone seemed anxious to be able to report back something. of importance to the council
 Gilpatric to Boston
 It was voted to send Alderman Gil patrlc to Boston where he will get in touch with trolley expert statistician who will be able to gather data neces- sary to present the -city's case be fore the high authorities when action will be expected. The vote came after 1t was stated by MT. Gilpatric that t would be difficult to get anything with potent force before the public utilities commission unless it was cared for by an expert. Data such as will be necessary in the case could only be gotten by man who has had exper- fence in delving into trolley matters. seeking information on costs of main tenance, high salaries of officials. floating debts, etc. In order for the city of New Britain to gain anythinrr at hearing, it was the opinion of the members of the special committee that big, powerful facts would have to be used in a local argument and it was judged wise to have an outsider, get those facts.
 PaOnessa Wonders
 Alderman Paonessa was unable to understand how even an expert would be able to gain access to the books of the company here to find out their daily income, their transporta- tion facilities, their difficulties, and their history in general. But if an ex- pert is called to the city to work on the case he can gather general infor- nation about traffic conditions in the city and can estimate the expenses of the company so as to bring forward some proofs of the situation here. With a general review of the condi- tions in favor of the city, this would make it necessary for the trolley com pany to bring forward data giving the exact details of the New Britain busi- ness In this way the commission would get the two sides of the story. This plan has been followed out in other cities and found to be advan- tageous.
 The committee members present be- sides Alderman ,Paonessa and Gill patric were: Mayor Curtis; Alderman Gill; and Councilman Eichstaedt and Wairath.

 Acceptancc' Predicted.
 Opinions differed as to whether the parliament would itseI, vote acceptance of the British terms or would call referendum. Tho pre- dominant view was that acceptance of the British governments offer would probably resul: in any case.
 The Daily Mail said the Catholic clergy of Ireland was using it's ut- most influence in favor of acceptance and it expressed bellef that the vast proportion of the members of the Dali Eireann were determined to ac- cepS tho British terms. The London Tin,es took ocasion- to warn the ex- tremists who oppose acceptance that Great Britain'a mind is finally made up and nothing can shake it's deter imitation not to yield upon the cardin- al point of the maintenance of a union between Great Britain and Ire land"
 Quote American Press.
 Considerable prominence was given extracts from editorials appearing in American newspapers most of them earnestly advising the Irish not to re- ject the governments offer. Tho Daily Telegraph. commenting upon these editorial3 said:
 American, arc deeply impressed with tho dramatic act of generous re- nunciation by the British government in the pursuit of peace. They per- ceive, if somo Irishme1 do not, what an immense moral sacrifice the. gov ernment haa made rather than see the ruin oi Ireland consummated, and they feel that some yielding should be apparent on the other side.

busy the past few days taking pic
lures in Monett and the highways to
be used in book the Commercial
Club is getting out to advertise
Monet. Four pictures were taken on
the west highway, one Of the east
highway, two of the reservoir,
one of the free camp grounds for tour
lists, one of the Cigar Factory and one
of the Overall Factory. Many pic
lures have been sent in by Monet peo-
pie, and many more pictures will be

Monett, the booming little city in
the heart of the Ozark mountains
should be advertised. There are many
tourists coming to the Ozarks this
summer instead of going out west, on
account of the destructive floods in
Colorado, and we should do all we can
to bring them here. 1t is an ideal
place for outings, fishings and just the
place to spend summer.
