WHAT HAS BECOME OF
GANDERBONE PROPHET?

What has become of the old-time
weather prophet, who usually, about
this time of the year is active with
predictions for the winter? Nothing
has yet been heard of the muskrat
houses, corn husks, the breast bone
of the goose, etc. Once upon a time
the first three days of December were
regarded as pointers for the weather
of the three winter months. For the
benefit of any one who may have a
hankering for information along that
line, here is the privately kept mem
oranda of the early December wealth
er for the preceding two years. First
however. it will be remembered that
on Thanksgiving Day, 1919, there
was a snowstorm, the snow staying
on the ground during nearly the en-
tire winter. The second storm of
/ that year occurred Dec /, the tenn
+ perature being rather low. The next
day the temperature in the morning
was from six to eight degrees above.

SIMM FEIN ENJOYS
VISIT DOWNING ST.
To PR0L0NG TRUCE
London. Dec 5.-;Ihe Irish peace negotiations
have broken down according to statements in re-
sponsible quarters today and the Dali Erreann dele
gates are expected to re-
turn finally to Ireland to-
morrow or Wednesday.


On the governments side, It was
indicated, the argument will be that
refusal of the Sim Fein to accept al
legiance to the king made an agree
ment impossible such that condition
insisted upon by the British and was
in addition Al essential preliminary to
securing any assent from Ulster.
The truce still remains in effect and
no immediate resumption of hostilities
is looked for.
Nevertheless both sides feel, 1t is
declared that the course of events will
be bound to involve a renewal of hos
tilities. The Sim Fein delegates Wis
tied Downing street this afternoon.

lpoyernment representatives concern
ing the question of continuing the

| London, Dec. 5.-(By the A. P.)--
| The crisis in the Irish peace negotia-
| tions held the exclusive attention of
! official circles today. Premier Lloyd
| George obtained an audience with
| King George and explained the sit
uation to him after which the British
peace representatives held a confer
ence This was followed by meet
ing of the entire cabinet.
The Irish delegation yesterday in.
formed Lloyd George that the gov
ernments latest proposals were un-
acceptable t othe Dali Eirrean cab
met Another meeting between the
| Sim Fein peace delegation and a
! British committee was arranged for
! today
The time limit set by Sir James
Craig, Ulster premier, for the sub.
mission of another plan by Lloyd
| George expires tomorrow Craig is
to address the Ulster parliament to-
morrow and, should no new terms
| be Forthcoming, he is expected to an
nounce the peace negotiations at an
! end.
Should this occurr, the British po-
| sitiOn would be thrown back to the
| stand taken by Lloyd George before
| the negotiations opened more than
| five months ago-that British law
must be maintained in ireland, even
! thru the use of the military How
! far the present truce would endure
under suchh conditions is conjectur-
| al Thus far there has been no

| The newspapers generally regard the
situation with grave anxiety, but while
tone of pessimism runs through

lists point out that as long as the me-
gotiations are not definitely broken
off there is a possibility of ultimate
