children of the primary school gave

ment for their friends and parents.

ton being issued.
The north portico of the building
was used as the stage, the piano be-
ing placed just inside of the doorway.
The tall columns of the entrance were
wound with bamboo and a large bunch
of Easter lilies was placed on the
piano. The seats for the guests were
on the lawn facing the entrance. The
children in their dainty little gar
ments and costumes made charming
picture as they come out to sing their
songs, just as the sun was sinking at
the end of the day.
The entertainment that the children
gave this year differed somewhat
from those given in previous years.
As the children said sit wasn't a real
entertainment" but just collection of
songs that the pupils, had been taught
as part of their regular training dur
ing the past term.
Miss Eunice Marsh as supervisor of
music in the primary school, had had
these children under her charge and
as a result of her excellent training
the entertainment proved delightful.
The following program was given
by separate grades and collectively,
was grouped as follows:
Devotional songs by entire school.
Patriotic songs by entire school.
Trade songs by third grade boys.
Indian songs by first grade boys.
Mother Goose songs by first grade
girls.
Lullabies by third grade girls.
Folk dances by second grade girls.
Seasonal songs.
The final number on the program
was supplied by pupils from each
grade. A small boy dressed as page
came out and called for each month of
the year, which were represented by
different groups of children dressed
in costumes to represent the months
each group singing song appropriate
to the month it represented. AnC
finally the entire school sang a song
of Summer and Vacation"
The entertainment was thoroughly
enjoyed by all who were privileged tt
be invited, and was a remarkable ex
ample of the excellent work that il

FREE SWEET POTATO SLIPS
FOR BOYS POTATO CLUB

The state college experiment sta
ton at Gainesville has agreed to fur
nish sweet potato draws from select
ed seed potatoes free to boys who are
to be potato club members this year.
The only expense will be the postage
or express on the draws from Gaines
vile.
These draws, or slips, are from po-
tatoes that have been carefully sorted
and selected TO keep the varieties
pure. They are free of disease and in
sect pests. They can furnish any of
the following varieties: Porto Rico,
Nancy Hall, Providence, Pattisaw
Yam and Norton Yam They were
also seelteed for yield, and the station
has grown as high as 800 bushels per
acre with some of these.
None of these draws will be sold to
farmers in competition with plant
growers, but they will be given to the
boys in the potato clubs.
1t is important that we place re-
quests for these as soon as possible.
Every member of the boys sweet po-
tato club in Marion county, and every
boy who wishes to become a member
should send to the county agent his
request for these draws, if he wants
them at once. The county agents

IRISH NEGOTIATIONS
ARE At DEADLOCK
Sir James Craig's Statement Caused
Profound Sensation in
London.

London, July l9.-Irish negotiations
appear 10 have reached a deadlock in
so far as they concern a tripartite con.
ference between David LLOYD George
the British prime minister, Eamonn De
Valera, the Irish Republican leader and
Sir James Craig, premier of Ulster.
! This developed late last night when
Sir James, as he departed for Belfast,
issued a statement on the subject Of
self determination" which in inter
I preted to mean that he will not com
| promise on any matters pertaining 10
| listers political rights.
| While the statement has made deep
! impression upon political circles in
many quarters il is not accepted as
final. and hope is expressed that the
negotiations for such a conference are
not vet ended
In other quarters the statement is re-
ferred to as a disagreeable shock. which
brings matters to a critical stage and
causes a very unpromising and I'M
pleasant position. 1t is pointed out
that Mr.. De Valera is inhexible in his
demand that listers autonomy must
be derived from an all-Irish parliament
sltNiHS di Dupillts NUue IHe lrteF lead
ers are equally determined that the
Ulster parliament by subordinate only

Several Of this mornings newspapers
assert that if thes attitude is persist
ed in all negotiations must break down,
while others advonce the belief that if
the present conference fails parliament
may be dissolved and the issue sub
mitted 10 the British people in a gen
eral election.
There are rumors in other quarters
that tenibacIorgbeengzotycsg e .zmire
that cabinet dissention already has
arisen regarding rival Irish interests
1t is stated officially, however, that
postponement until Thursday of the
conversations between Lloyd George
and De Valera have no connection with

prime minister giving his sole atten-
tion to the remaining work Of the i'm.
