GREENS GARDEN.

Along in the spring Uncle Jerry Chuck kept close watch of all that went on down in Farmer Greens veg etabe garden. He always tried to find out what Farmer Green intended to plant. As Uncle Jerry Chuck used to remark, it was pleasant to know that people were working for you and that there was a good time a. coming.
 Uncle Jerry was a greedy old fel- low If he had had his way nobody but himself would have enjoyed taste of the vegetables that Farmer Green raised.
 One of Uncle Jerrys favorite com- plaints was that he couldn't travel fast enough, on his way down from the pasture where he lived to reach the garden ahead of Jimmy Rabbit. Every evening throughout the summer, Uncle Jerry found Jim my Rabbit dining on lettuce, green

 "Fiddlesticks." cried Uncle Jerry frowning. These are no good, I'm sure I never ate any such fodder Isn't Farmer Green going to raise anything tasty this season? ?" T heard him tell the Hired Man that ne had bought seeds for New Wonder, Roundhead. and Mammoth Red" said Jimmy Rabbit with sly smile
 My goodness" Uncle Jerry Chuck exclaimed. Has Farmer Green gone crazy? Why does he bother with such rubbish? He won't have any room left in his garden for green peas and lettuce and cabbage. l cer- tainly do hope he's leaving place for beets, for there's no better eat ing"
 Farmer Green Is going to grow Crimson Globe and Egyptian" Jim my told him.
 Uncle Jerry Chuck groaned loudly T shan't care to eat any of those strange crops" he walled. Why, can't even pronounce some of those names That last one you just men tioned-that's a jaw breaker. shouldn't care to put such a vegetable into my mouth"
 Then said Jimmy Rabbit, you won't want to visit the garden this summer-will you, Uncle Jerry?"
 "No" said Uncle Jerry dolefully, And, if I were onl yyounger, I'd move on down the valley to some body elses farm where the folks like plain, old fashioned food and none of these newfangled fancy dishes, Of course" he added, "there'll be plenty of clover. And I'll worry through the summer on that. But a bit of something different now and then does wonders for an appetite as poor as mine.'
 We'll spring turned into summer. Farmer Greens garden had never looked better. Jimmy Rabbit visited it daily and often chuckled as he thought of Uncle Jerry Chuck eating clover week after week.
 At last, when the summer was half gone. Jimmy stopped to talk with the old fellow. up in the pasture.
 Whats that red stain around your mouth" Uncle Jerry asked him sud denly. Its exactly the color of beets."
 "Eh-maybe it is beet stain,' Jimmy Rabbit stammered.
 What" cried Uncle Jerry. Did | Farmer Green grow beets, after al?"
 He has fine crop this summer" Jimmy admitted
 My goodness" Uncle Jerry gasped. "Of course he didn't sew lettuce, or green peas. or cabbages?"
 Yes, he did"
 Uncle Jerry Chuck flew into a rage
 And you never told mel" he | squalled. .s-
 Pardon me-" said Jimmy Rabbit. T told you everything. Last spring I told you exactly what kinds of peas and lettuce and cabbage and beets Farmer Green intended to raise, And. you said you didn't care for such rub bish."
 Uncle Jerry seemed stunned. But finally he asked, What was that jaw name you told me about last spring."
 Egyptian ?"
 That's it. What is it?"
 It's a beet" Jimmy explained And so is Crimson Globe. Little Marvel and First and Best are green peas. New Wonder and Roundhead are"
 But Uncle Jerry Chuck didn't wait to hear anything more. Already he was waddling down the hillside to- ward the garden patch, as fast as he could hurry.

 ANNUAL MEETING

Annlston, January s.-(special.)-- The annual meeting of Grace Epis- copal church, held Friday night was featured by reports from different officers and organizations and by the election of vestrymen for the com ing year.
 All of the reports indicated that very gratifying progress had been made by the church along all lines in the year 1921. and the large crowd in attendance and enthusiastic spirit displayed throughout the meeting are considered as indicative of greater advance during the coming year.
 The election of vestrymen was con- sidered the most important act of the session, the old vestry, composed of A. H Sheppard, J. L. Wikle. A. L. Tyler, R H. Cobb, Scott Roberts and J. B. Cook. being reelected, and Newton Wilson being selected to fill a vacancy that has existed for some time.

 When the vote was taken the resig- nation was not repeated, Mir. Deva- lera merely alluding to 1t when he arose and in voice broken with emotion began to explain his personal position. But he had not got far whom he sat down, unable to go on.
 Later De Valera summoned a meet ing for today, exclusively confined to the 57 deputise who voted against the treaty, and today at the Mansion House, prior to the private session of his associates, he delivered speech which was a clear indication of his intention to continue the fight, this time apparently not only against the British government, but against the provisional government of the Irish Free State, which. he said, he re- gards as an usurpation and to which the chief objection Is that it derives its authority from the British Parlia- ment.
 There are many tonight who are of the opinion that the question of MT. DeValera's suspended resignation must be debated at tomorrow's meet ing of the Dail. The inconsistencies in his declartion have puzzled all commentators, but Art O'Brien, presi- dent of the Self Determination league of Great Britain, who, al- though not member of the Dail, has been privileged during the debate to sit among the members and who is in closest touch and sympathy with DeValera. informed the Associated Press today that his interpretation Is that MT.

 Propaganda says crime has in- CT ceased since prohibition. Facts show that tho prime wave is worldwide snd that 1t would be just as sem sibie to blame 1t on woman suffrage ar on prohibition.

gressional members themselves should furnish. the leadership and basis for agreements, particularly upon formulating policies, but ex- pressed a desire to cooperate.
 Secretary Weeks suggested that the debated questions should be thrown into party eaucuses in both houses and that the majority, havine so developed it's own views, should proceed to enact legislation accord dngly forcing recalcitrants into line,
 Objections to this plan of proceed ure were voiced, 1t was said, by both House and Senate participants to the conference. Operations of considerable number of western re- publican senators associated In the agricultural bloc, though embarrass- ing to the administration, it was re- ported by their associates, were dic- tated not by hostility to the Hard ing administration, but by political sentiment in their own states which hazard their re-elections.
 The cry of "caucus domination,' ,' if raised might force them, it was argued, into open cooperation with four or five republican senators now sitting, whose definite purpose was declared to be to annoy the existing republican administration. The Pres ident further took occasion to re- state his position towards attempte Id an endment of the federal reserve act. which would require him, if adopted, specifically to appoint farmer on the reserve board. He would not object, 1t was said, to some requirement. specifying repre- sentatives of agriculture, industry and commerce as necessary to the makeup of that body, but does op- pose a single mandate for farmer

 Further, the conference. for benefit particularly of Chairman Adams, formulated the view that very con siderable accomplishment had already been registered by congress under the republican regime, but that the facts had been obscured partially by adverse criticism and partially through neglect Methods should be adopted, 1t was agreed, to lay before the voting public the republican pre- sentation upon the subject.
 As on the refunding bill, the con ferees got down to detailed consid-
 
 schedule percentages. and political strength as to amounts sought in it.
 In these, however, it was insisted that no conclusions were reached. The debt refunding bill, in the view represented as being taken. by the President, should not be definitely tied to soldier bonus proposals or funds anticipated from 1t set Aside for the payments. but it was agreed that early action upon it might help the treasury position and make the task of meeting bonus charges easier.
 It is likely. those present consid- cred that President Harding will broaden the scope of his congression- al conferences and seek at other and later gatherings the opinions of rep resentative men in legislative circles not included Saturday. It was large- ly because of this fact that those att tending refrained from formulating specific plans which might be con sidered attempts to direct action.

and not determination taken at the canhon's mouth.
 Let no man say" said Mir. De- Valera, that the Irish people have self-determined themselves within the British empire as British subjects. The heart of the Irish people Is as republican today as ever. The won derful opportunity of securing last ing peace between two great coun- tries. one of whicH has been the mother country of Australia and Can ada and in a large part of the United States. has been definitely lost once more by the triumph of British force over reason and right. The heart of Ireland Is absolutely for complete in- dependence"
 MT. DeValera said he had worked hard to get help from every source to find solution of the problem 90 reconcile the two peoples. consistent with the desire of the Irish people to maintain a distinct nationality and sovereign statehood. That had been turned down, he declared, and there fore the fight was to go on.

 "The republic of Ireland" MT. De- Valera declared, still exists. It's sov- ereign parliament still exists. The resolution recommending the approv- al of certain treaty is not ratifica- tion of that treaty, and is not a loyal act That will not be affected until the Irish people have disestablished the republic which they set up by their own will As far as human brains and hearts can achieve 1t, the self-determination of the Irish peo- pie will be forged and by the men and women of Ireland In this generation They are not going to give up now"
