After having looked into one of

weeks, it ,is now much easier to see
the funny side of life.
If There Is One
~ Useful in His Business
A book agent was seated in the
dentists chair when the doctor asked
him if he should remove the nerve
with the tooth. To this query the
book agent quickly objected, stating
that he needed it in his business.
Only just the other day we saw
the book agent again, and we are safe
in saying that the doctor complied
with his request.

ANOTHER WARM SPELL
rs COMING THIS WAY

The delightful GOODNESS of the past
few days. which has been welcome
change after the almost unbearable
heat of the greater part of June and
July, is to be terminated, if indica-
tions are correct. by tonight, for it
is forecast the weather will become
warm again. Already the ttemperS-
ture is mounting and those who have
been enjoying the excellent sleeping
conditions of the last two nights are
warned. to get in all the sleep they
can tonight as everything points to
another warm spell.
This will. perhaps. be good news to
the summer colonists and others fond
of swimming sand like sports. for, so
far, the month of August has proven
an unusually unfayorable one for
them. Between cool spells and the
nettles, which have invaded in unpre
cedented numbers every creek, river
and bay in this section. the pleasures
of swimming during the past fort
night have been few indeed.

He sat at the head of the table and
was surrounded by the little ones.
with whom he seemed quite happy.

FINE BLANKETS
MADE FROM WOOL
OF COUNTY SHEEP

A striking example OF what may he
accomplished by cooperation among
the county farmers is being demon
strated by the fact that those Anne
Arundel farmers. and there are quite
a few OF them. who were wise enough
to have the wool from their sheep
made into double bed blankets to be
sold locally, are clearing So. instead
of 20 cents per pound for the wool.
These blankets. which sell for SLIPS
each, are splendid articles. much
superior to the usual commercial pro-
duct They are 80 percent. wool.
there being just enough cotton added
to them to give strong warp. They
are made in various shades, so that
the color scheme of any bedroom may
be harmonized with.
Because of their low price many of
the farmers have been creeping under
their own wool. or rather that of their
sheep, during the recent cool nights.
The Hotel Maryland. one of Anna
polls hostelries. has ordered twenty
of these blankets from the County
Agent
There are not many of these blan-
kets remaining for sale, but those that
are left may be seen al. the Office of
the County Agent in the Court House,

RECOGNIZE MINISTRY
OF BAIL E|REANN AS
ONLY GOVT VALERA

Dublin. Aug. l6.-Iu opening the
Bail Elreann at its first public session
here today Mr. De Valera, the Irish
Republican leader. addressed its
members and declared the only gov
ernment the people recognized was
the ministry of the Bail Eireann.
He and his colleagues. De Valera
said were adopting towards Britain
the position advocated by Cardinal
Meroier. OF Belgium, towards Ger
many-that external authority was
unlawful The Irish. he said. stood
for the ideals enthroned in the Ameri-
can Declaration OF independence.
The cabinet Mr. De Valera de-
clared. did not see any basis for
agreement He pointed to the virtu-
ally impossible conditions surround-
ing negotiations with the British Gov
ernment, likening the position to that
of an nnarmed man facing one with a
pistol
There are people who are willing
to negotiate TO save their faces, he
said. but the Sim Fein would not
negotiate to save faces. but to save, if
possible, bloodshed and for right and
principle.
Mr. De Valera said that during his
talks with Mr.. Lloyd George. the sub
ject of the freedom of small nations,
which the British Premier advocated
during the war. had come up and he
told Mr.. Lloyd George that II he rec
ognized those principles there would
be no necessity for negotiation.
We recognize them and will live
and die for them, the Republican
leader exclaimed.
Summing UP their impression of the
Bail Eireann meeting today political
observers who have been closely fol-
lowing the Irish question gave these
views
That the whole atmosphere OF the
meeting. including Mr.. DeValeras
speech. had given the impression that
the attitude created by the Republic
can leaders reply to the British Of
fers would be maintained his speech
suggesting that the reply already
drafted by the. Bail Eireann cabinet
would show an unyielding position.
That it would be endorsed unanimous
ly by the Bail Eireann they consider
certainty.
