LONDON. Aus. 27. II England
has reached the limit Of concessions
and almost the limit OF endurance
The Irish truce is in danger"
This was the tone Of the British
press today discussing the Irish sit
uation in the light OF Lloyd Georges
firm reply to De Valeras letter re-
jecting the British terms.
The Sim Fein president asked foi
a continuance Of negotiations upor
a basis OF new terms but the British
government has reiterated emphat.
icaliy its adherence TO its origina
terms.
The dispute has reached a dead
lock. The government today had
the unanimous support OF the press
for It's attitude
The Irish truce is endangered b,
the uncompromising attitude of tho
Dali Eireann. it was generally fel
here Such discussions without {
trade in concessions cannot go OF
Indefinitely, one paper said.
The government reply. demanding
that De Valera drop academic gen
eralities' and come down to 'prac
tical politics" has, II was felt shift
ed the onus for the dangerous state
OF affairs temporarily upon th'
Dail's shoulders.
Political circles here expressed the
belief that the government was
"stiffening It's back. hoping to force
the Sim Fein Parliament and lead
ers eventually to discuss the British
proposals. In a practical manner
and with the present terms as O
basis.
THE n-in-the-street" Is grow
ing impatient OF the delay. This
is reflected in the morning press com.
ment
The Times says:
England has reached her limit
We urge Irishmen to cease being
mislead in the vain belief that the
government will make further con-
cessions
The Daily Mail says:
"Once the negotiations are seri-
ouly begun an agreement viii be
found which common sense British
and frshmen will not hesitate C
ratify."
The Daily Chronicle says:
THE governments offer was un.
alterable wherefore the Dails per
sistencel in reflections can only lead
to disaster"
The Daily Express says;
de Valera. seems TO prefer 4
dwell on cloudy heights. out OF sigh
OF the hard facts OF existence"

KNIFE WEEDERS

new N1Oue1 Is NOW 1ACSAoy
Twenty-one years ago, Mr. Clayton
lived on a farm and made his first
knife weeder- It had wooden run
ners, the knives were hard to adjust,
it was heavy and pulled hard. but it
did good work. Every year that he
stayed on the farm he made new
model, aiming to decrease the draft,
increase the strength and decrease
the weight, and make all adjustments
simple and easy. Steel runners re-
placed the wooden runners, and from
year to year important improvements
were placed on the machine, mate
rally increasing its efficiency and
value. While on the farm, Mr. Clay
ton worked up quite a business max
to his neighbors- After he left the
farm he still continued to make a
new model every year, until he has
now perfected his @tNew Model 21'
model is a mighty fine machine for
killing weeds and saving moisture in
any listed field, and it would hardly
seem possible that any further i'm
provements could be made upon it,

made, and any farmer, within driv-
ing distance of the factory, can easily
take his car to Hill City and haul one
home. They are SO easily taken apart
that two of the doub1e-row machines
are frequently hauled in Ford car
The one-row machine weighs 95
pounds, the two-row ESQ pounds. and
the three-row $50 pounds The one
row machine sells for $50, the two
row for $50, and the three-row for
$50 These prices are for machines
without eveners, and with 4-foOt side
knives Longer knives can be fur
nished as extras, and also eveners. if
