The Columbus Reporter says that
the county commissioners bought
that half carload of potatoes from
A. C. Wiper and Lawrence Larsen
for a road grading outfit. OF
course we have no objection to the
county buying potatoes for road
grading outfits. and the only rea-
son we asked about these spuds was
out Of curiosity. The only thing
we have to say now is that the road
grading outfit better get the tubers
pretty quick, or they won't be fit
for human food. There are sprouts
on them now a foot long and the
sprouts are getting longer every
day.

ne declares she was prepared to dis
cuss other avenues for settlement"
In the opinion Of many, the task
ahead of the government is to find a
new formula satisfactory to Ulster, or
adopt some course OF coercion. 1t is
supposed that this problem was before
the Cabinet committee meeting this
afternoon, which was attended bv the
Premier, Mr.. Chamberlain, Mr.. Church
III, Viscount Birkenhead, Sir Hamar
Greenwood and Sir Gordon Hewart.
There IS turn Of feeling toward the
Sim feln, with o large portion of the
Conservative press placing emphasis
on the fact that the Irish republicans
have not yet agreed to pledge allegi-
ance to the crown and insisting that
under the circumstances Ulster can
hardly be expected to join an all-Ire-
land parliament.
The fight continues one between the
government and Ulster, with the Sim
Feln playing secondary part. The
Dublin envoys, who have already made
tlement, have in the point of allegiance
strong card, which they have no in
tention of playing until Ulster has re-
vealed her hand. AS the Sim Fein
compromises are contingent ON Ulster
yielding, the governments position
must be regarded as extremely en-
barrassing.
Whatever the developments of the
week, nobody expects that the truce
will be renounced, and it Is quite possi-
Bile that all parties involved will agree
to an adjournment Of the conference
until after Christmas.
Craig enthused his colleagues in the
Northern Parliament when he intimated
that Andrew Bonar Law would support
Ulster if crisis arose. His announced
willingness to consider "other avenues
for settlement" might be interpreted
as acquiesence in the suggestion that
study the position Of Tyrone and Fer
managh.

Harding Proclaims
December 4 to 10
As Education Week
President Calls ON Citizens
to Assist General Efforts
to Reduce Hliteracy and
RemedyDe Defectsin Schools

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-President
harding issued proclamation to-day
setting --part the week of December 4
20 ~ as American Education Week.
CURING which citizens Of the United
states are urged to assist general ef-
iorts to reduce illiteracy and give
thought to remedying defects in the
natlon's educational system. The
proclamation follows:
Whereas. Pubic education is the
oasis OF citizenship and is Of primary
Importance to the welfare of the ma
ton, and
Whereas, More than 100000 boys
and girls In America are not availing
themselves Of our free school advan-
tages and are lacking in that youthful
schooling which is so essential to the
making Of an intelligent citizenship,
and
Whereas, The experience Of the war
reveals vast elements Of population
chat are illiterate, physically unfit or
unfamiliar with American ideals and
traditions, and our future strength
ana security are much dependent on
their eduction and commitment to
Anne rican ideals;
therefore, /, Warren G. Harding,
President Of tbs United States, Do
urge the Governors of the various
states and territories to set apart De-
cember to 10, inclusive, 1921, as
American Education Week, during
which
Citizens In every state are urged
to special and thoughtful attention to
the needs and the aims Of the public
schools. 1t is particularly recon-
rnended that efforts be addressed to
practical expression Of community in
terest in public education. To that
end organizations for civic advance
ment and social betterment are earn
estly requested, when it can be made
practicable, to provide programs which
Will inform the people concerning the
vital needs in this direction, instruct
them regarding shortcomings and de-
ficiencies in present facilities and
bring to their attention specific, con-
structive methods by which in the re-
spective communities these deficiencies
may be supplied.
"The subject Of public education has
always been very close to the Ameri-
can heart, and to the fact that It has
been made chief responsibility Of
local governmental units we largely
owe the wide diffusion of educational
facilities. 1t is believed that wide
spread and earnest effort at observance
of Education Week would do much to
emphasize this feeling Of immediate
responsibility. Therefore, it is sug-
gested that the pulpit, press, schools
and public gatherings be enlisted in
behalf OF this special effort"

The Slim Fein delegates expect to
meet MIR. Lloyd George in conference
tomorrow, when the whole situation
will be reviewed. Over the week cnn
they will have q chance to talk with
De Valera and members of the Dahl
Eircann. They are undoubtedly ready
for the next stage in the negotiations.
BELFAST, Nov. 20 (By The Associ-
ated Pressl.--"By Tuesday next these
negotiations will have broken down or
the Prime Minister will send me new
proposals for consideration by the Cab
met said the statement made by Sir
James Craig to the Ulster Parliament
to-day with regard to the Irish peace
negotiations.
Meantime the statement contin-
ued, "the rights Of Ulster will be in
no way sacrificed or compromised. =
Sir James said he had told Mr.. Lloyd
George that the British government's i
proposal to Ulster for the settlement of
the irish question were utterly impos-
sible lie said Ulster would not enter
an all-lreland parliament under the
present conditions, but was prepared to
discuss other avenues for settlement.
Sir james declared Ulster would
neither be intimidated nor coerced.
she was not blocking the way to set
tlement. The Sim Fein now had had a
week to say whether it would continue
TO work for settlement or if the
negotiations were to be broken off, and
Ulster, he insisted, would not be to
blame # break should occur.
On the subject cf the enrollments
ordered and other policing measures
taken in Ulster, Sir James said:
Owing to the outrages by the Sinn
Fem during the past week arrange
ments have been made by the imperial
authorities for drafting into Ulster ad-
ditional recruits. On Saturday the
Northern Cabinet gave instructions for
the enrolment of specials (70O whole
4 tne and 5000 part-time). I hope these
steps will be found sufficient, but. no
matter what the cost, the government
OF Northern Ireland is determined to
ierform its primary duty of maintain
ing protection of life and propertv.n
Sir James declared he was rot
pressing now for publication of the
correspondence relative to the recent
negotiatlons between the Obstetrics and
Lloyd George, but that, if necessary,
ne would publish it without pernis-
SION, mo matter what the conse-
quences."
