respondents that he believed his PARTY
would ignore the Saturday meeting
of the parliament. In response to an
inquiry he said he intended to con-
tinue the fight for independence: he
supposed elections would be held with

Such elections. he added, like, the
sgnins of the treaty in London. would

rewal of warfare and therefore he
could not accept the verdict as 10 un-
coerced will OF the people.
There is a big line of cleavage" he
said, between those standing for de-
pcndence and thosc for independence"
NeNer would ne, under any condi-
tons. take the oath of allegiance con-
tanned In the treaty. Abiding to the
Irish Republican bonds. he declared
they would be redeemed by whatever
government was established and added
that meeting Of the leaders of the

Irish labor party stating that labor
would participate In the eisctions to

The method adopted in summoning
those who are to ratify the treaty sis

mington within the next few weeks,
the local outlook for this trade is rel
ported as most optimistic While 1t
is not expected that the trade will
enjoy tho rush experienced in the
early part OF 1920, the present ca
pacity Of the local plants is equal
to that Of 1918.
One OF the largest piantsis now soak
ing 400 to 1900 dozen skins. which
Is more than double what the plant
soaked on an average during 1921.
A large shoe manufacturing concern
has purchased the controlling inter
est in an east side plant. and Is
manufacturing all its black glazed
kid for making men and women's
shoes.
Another large plant is soaking
from 600 to 900 dozens a day. which
is a great Improvement over its 1921
soakage when the average was
about -35O dozens. Another plant on
the West side, which was almost
shut down last year. is now soaking
25 to so dozens a day. and is getting
the machinery in shape to run ap-
proximately 800 dozens a day. This
plant makes black and colored leath-
q er. The smaller plants on the west
side are all working and gradually

are putting in soak. One OF the
largest plants which is not only man

has taken on several hundred work
ers In the past month. and It is ex-
pected will reach its 1918 normal by

Our campaign for books. and
funds with which 20 buy books for
a reference library for the High
school was based on a recognition OF
a long felt want. For years every
one connected with the school, pu-
nils and teachers. and also patrons
OF the school. who were In touch
with its work and in sympathy with
its aims. had felt the need, the al
most desperate need Of an adequate

able in the High school Without
Il the work Of the school has been
seriously handicapped; and there had

available by which to relieve the
situation.

or scope OF the work done by our

Il could not. in the nature OF the
case. supply the wants OF the High
School. a library much larger even
that the Wilmington Institute Free
Library must needs be a general

whereas the work OF the High School
requires particularized library,
Usually Il Is necessary that the

any book or one set OF any general
reference work; whereas q is fire.
quontiy necessary, II the work OF the
High school be done efficiently that
there should be Immediately availa-
BILE a dozen or a score OF copies OF
the same book in reference work.
In organizing the campaign to pro
cure n library for the High School
IL was necessary to secure the aid,
the enihus astic support Of the press,
Of public spirited citizens, and OF
course. to stir the High School itself
to a keen appreciation OF its need
and a strong determination TO have Il
supplied. Too much praise cannot
be bestowed upon the responsible
citizens who supported the move
ment. As chairman OF the general
committee Mayor Leroy Harvey
gave his time and invaluable advice
and contributed in a positive way Ia
make the campaign success
David A. Ward, superintendent OF
schools was at all time actively in
terested and helped materially to Sc
