De Valera Stops His War.

 MT De Valera has accepted defeat and has in- structed his rebels the field lay down their arms. The Irish people saying that it Ire lands misfortune to be assailed by blind leader of who could foresee twelve months ago the Inevitable of his campaign of destruction Else all the woeful expenditure of blood and treasare would have been avoided; the State would be estab- shed in pride and security and Collins and all the other brilliant; who to their dea hs in the nternecine feud might have been working as comrades together to make the Ireland worthy of the old relands tragic and noble history. There IS peace nov, and the country is happier than it has been since 1916. No praise be too high for Mr Cosgraves Government, which has proved capacity of lrshmen to govern and has come triumphant through it's fiery ordeal. It had to pursue unpopular courses in country that had always fought against dom in ignoring the safe neutrality movemen s which were initiated in various parts the country where public men were intimidated from according unqualified support to the Government. It would he premature to assume that nothing of turmoil and unrest remains behind the rebel surrender The Min lsters are not yet free from the peril private goance, and the discredit to which MT De Valera has fallen among Irishmen may be shared by some of his former dupes- Mr. Kevn O'Higgns said in the Dail on Tuesday that period of transition must ensue from martial law to the ordinary civil law Tn enc county eighteen farms have been seized by laborers "Soyiets Many of the taxpayers too as sume that the strike against taxation during the last years of the British occupation should be per petuated in the order MT. De Vaera's war will have cost Ireland twenty millions or so Irish men may we'll weep that the wasted twenty millions has not gone to the schools and the universities to land purchase to the relief of the cougests to the abolition of the sums; but country that recovered from the Desmond and Cromwean wars and from the great famine of s1847 will not easily go down.

Canadian Pacific May Build to Prince Rupert
(Prince Rupert News. )


 Interesting speculation In regard to the possible next move of the C. P R. is going all over the west No to know anything but there are plenty people who pretend to have inside informa ton.
 Persistent rumors indicate that the c. P. R. i5 active in connection with another railway north of the Grand Trunk Pacific that will tap the Peace River agricultural area, the Ground Hog coal areas and the fine country round the head waters of the Naas River. The Peace River Record tells of survey parties going through and suggests that Naas Bay will be the Pacific Terminus of the line.
 There is doubt but the country to the north of will be opened up before long and 1t is likely 1t will be done under private auspices rather than by the National system. The c. P R. took the old Mackenzie & Mann charter to build from Peace River to Stewart. but the terminals never very definitely fixed in charter and usually subject to change. Any railway will make thorough nves- tgation before finally deciding the location and many different factors will determine the route. What say, what Stewart says, what the people along the route say has little influence. The project is stupendous that minor considerations have to be swept aside and the general usefulness of the line considered

PR|zE-W|NNINC ESSAY BY HARRINGTON
SCHOOL 9TH GRADE PUPIL ON MAKING
AUGUSTA HEALT H|ER CITY TO live IN

The prize-winning essay in the re-
cent contest conducted In the public
schools of this city for>the best health
essay. written by Catherine Haskell,
Grade of the Harrington school Is
given below. This essay on "How
Can Help to Make Augusta a
Healthier City to Live In" shows a
remarkable grasp Of health principles
by a Grammar school child and we'll
merits the $3.50 gold piece which was
presented to Miss Haskell at the
health meeting Sunday at the Opera
House.
The health of the people Of my
city largely depends upon the condi-
ton in which the people live, work
and play. If the homes in which we
live, the streets in which we walk
and ride. and the yards in which we
play. are clean, we are certain to be
healthy and free from diseases.
II we take care of our rubbish and
old tin cans. there will be no breed
ing places for germs in our yards. If
there are a lot Of leaves, old wood,
paper and refuse that could be
burned. have a bonfire some time
when there Is no wind.
In the summer there should be
garbage cans with covers that should
be kept on. When old tin cans are
thrown out and there is a heavy rain
storm, the cans are likely to be filled
with water. -yhich makes a good
breeding place for germs, flies and
mosquitoes. These cans should be
collected or taken away to a rubbish
pile.
can make my city healthier city
to live in by picking up paper, keep
ing my yard free from all sorts Of
rubbish and being careful myself not
to throw around paper, peeling from
fruits. wrappers from candy and by
not allowing tin cans and rubbish to
accumulate in my cellar.
When it comes spring and the
cellar and attic are crowded with
rubbish, old cans and paper. we
should see to it that it is all disposed
Of in some manner. Dark cellars and
dark attics are most dangerous to
our health. Such places should have
windows cut through them and the
sunshine let in.
can help my city to be healthier
by keeping my own attic and cellar
clean and burning the rubbish in
stead Of dumping it in the back yard.
When l go on picnics l can take
home any rubbish and burn it up, or
dig hole in the ground and bury 1t
there. In this way l can make Au-
gusta a healthier city in which to
live.
When I have heavy cold should
stay away from school and all public
places. When it is necessary to
sneeze or cough / should cover my
nose and mouth with my handker-
chief.
AS city is merely the people who
live in it, if each one of us could
learn to safeguard his health by pure.
clean. wholesome food. plenty of
sleep in fresh air. and plenty of out

be a healthier place in which to live.
