Peter Golden. famous Irish re-
pskblicnn. Thursday. Golden II
In Seattle heading . move for
rnising funds for the republican
army.
"We are perfectly capable Of
governing ourselves, England TO
the contrary" he continued. III
you doubt II Just look 1T the way
the Irish are governing other
people In Americn, for Instance"
There IL no civil war In ireland.
The struggle is Just the same as Il
always was. England trying 20 keep
Ireland down. The arms. the funds.
tho propaganda and even the forces
OF the so-cailed Free Staters are fur.
nished by England. The only solu.
tion Of the Irish situation is for the
English TO get out and leave us
alone.
Golden says that there are two
things which he wishes to impress
on his American audiences. The first
is that there never has been an cleo
tion in ireland at which the Free
State proposition has been submitted
to the Irish vote. Tho second is that
when such an election occurs. the
Irish republicans pledge themselves
TO the world TO abide by the results
OF that electorate.
There Is clause In the English
treaty with ireland which is poten-
TALLY dangerous to America. This
clause permits England to use Ireland
as base OF war In event OF trouble
with some other power" Golden
added.
Golden is the typical Robert EN-
met type OF Irishmen. He wears
Windsor ties and has long. curly
hair.
Even the Irish songs show the
duress under which the Irish have
been laboring," Golden laughed. THE
songs which seem 10 be written about
pretty women are really only SYM
bolical OF Ireland"

County Agent Makes
Schedule of Visits

a regular schedule has been mapped
out by County Agent Ray Barnett
whereby the time of such service will
be equally divided all over the county.
Heretofore the territory outside Of
BroOkings has continually complained
of no service. And they have a just
right to complain. So the plan Of MAX
ing headquarters in each town in the
county SO many days a month will be
tried, and the County Agent will work
out in surrounding territory. Head
quarters for the County Agent will be
maintained in places described below,
and the service that can be rendered
will be free to all.
Perhaps you may wonder just what
service can be rendered. There are
thousands of ways which a county
service bureau can render aid to those
who will ask it. They have been sery-
ing the public by aiding in prevention
of contagious disease, such as T. b.
in cattle, hog cholera, and various
other diseases common to livestock
anu DOulill "a NCly bu
reau has been maintained, and aid Civ
en- in securing cattle and hogs for
feeders. Just at present they are
writing every organization and Coun-
ty Farm Bureau in districts where po-
tatoes can be sold, e~ndeavOring to
help get buyers in here to move the
crop. Drainage projects and club
work also take up part Of the time,
and to the farmers wife free poultry
culling demonstrations are given. A
cow testing association has been or
ganized. These services will be placed
at your door, and can be secured by
calling or writing the office at Brook
ings, or calling your local office where
be maintained.

Proclaims Fire
Prevention Week
Mayor Flittie Urges General
Cleanup of City During
the Week of Oct. 2 to 9
to Prevent Fire.

The following proclamation was is
sued Monday by Mayor T. /. Flittie
in accordance with a similar proclama-
ton issued by Governor w. II. McMas-
ter for the observance of fire preven-
ton week from October 2 to 8 inclu-
Sive:
CONGREGATIONS have cost the world
untold fortunes in matters material
and historic. The History of fires in
the United States begins with the
burning Of Chicago on October 9th,
1871, in which nearly tour square miles
of the city were consumed by a fire
easily p~reventable. Statistics show
that the annual fire loss in the United
States has increased from Seventy
eight Million Dollars in, 1875 to Two
Hundred and Sixty Million Dollars in
1921; a gradual but certain increase
III losses. The peculiar feature is that
most all fires are ~preventable; and that
of prevention are readily avail
able and easily applied. Nearly all
fires are the result of c~arelessness.
In order, therefore, to arouse our
people to a proper sense OF the dan
gers of fire, |, T. /. Flittie, Mayor of
~Brookings, do hereby proclaim and
designate the week of Oct. 9 to 8 in
elusive, Fire Prevention Week, and
most earnestly urge all citizens to OBJ
serve the week by cleaning up their
houses, yards and lots, removing all
rubbish and waste, and see to it that
all heatisg apparatus, chimneys and
tiueS are safe for the winter season.
The removal of weeds from vacant
lots, streets and along highways not
only presents a more slightly appear
ance but Will prevent drifting Of snow
during the winter months.
The proper officers should inspect
all theaters, schools, public halls, hos
pitfalls, to the end that greater safety
from fire will be secured.
| recommend that all schools have
an appropriate program on someday
during the week.
tSigned) r. |. Flittie.
