In 1928 direct exports from the

Desire to Buy Direct.
With the establishment of GUS
toes tariff system and fiscal separa-
tion from Great Britain, merchants
in the Free State are manifesting a
growing desire to buy direct from
the seller rather than from middle
men in London or Liverpool. The
foreign trade statistics of the depart
ment of commerce report refer only
to the direct trade between fhe Amerl-
can ports and Ireland. In 1922 the

than double that of the average pre-
war year The trade balance in ia
vor Of Ireland in 1923 was $11-5Oo,-
900, while in 1922 it was $6.000.000 in
favor of the United States.

Fr.uce-The most important re-
cent development in the domestic po-
litical situation is the Left move to
force the resignation of M. Millerand,
the president. 1t is not certain but
it is extremely probable that the move
will be successful. 1t originated with
the Unified Socialists, who by Its sue
cess would be paying off old scores
against Millerand, once a Unified So
cialist and ever since denounced as
renegade.
The Unified Socialists allege as the
chief motive of their present action
against Millerand solicitude for the
constitution. the spirit of which they
claim to have been violated by M
Millerand when, in the course of the
recent election campaign, he expressed
hope of Nationalist victory.
On the other hand, the friends Of
Millerand argue that the admitted i'm
propriety is a trifle when weighed in
the scales. against the consequences
to be apprehended from tne oust-
ing of the president at the ur-
gency of minority. They assert
that such ousting would terribly en-
bitter the political atmosphere and
would deal the constitution blow
far more serious than the one. ao-
ministered thereto by Mfllerand.
The Unified Socialists have an
nounced that they would oppose any
government so long as Millerand
should remain president. Therefore,
since without Unified Socialist sup
port ,(the Left majority, assuming no
defections. being a slender one).. a
Left government would be out OF the
question. NJ. Herri6t, head of the
Left forces, was constrained to accept
the. dictation of the Unified Socialists
In the matter of the president, or else

list of villages, towns and cities OF
the world. In our own individual
lives there are certain places in which
we have had our epochal expe eriences
and we never think of them or visit
them without becoming reminiscent
of the past. Sometimes it is an OBJ
scure spot, unfrequented by the null
titude that by reason of some signal
event becomes famous, and TO it in
later periods men and women go as to
some shrine.
1t is fine thing to build up about
some definite place associations and
memories that are refreshing and in
spring. Most of us today live such
hurried lives that we cannot dwell in
any one place to make ii rich with
incidents and experiences that are
useful and abiding. Even the cliff
dwellers had more of permanence in
their lives than most of our migratory
peoples today. Childhood is the
period that lends Itself most largely
TO the influence of associations. 1t
was this that prompted the lines:
How dear to my heart are the
scenes Of my childhood,
When fond recollections present

Sentiment Impaired.
How many children there are today
who are denied the great and precious
privilege of a real family roof-tree.

migratory households: II am going to

has lived and make composite of
them and call it home" There was
something tragic about this state

a situation is, that it deadens if it
does not destroy the habit OF refiec-
