irish BORDER
ROW SETTLED
Old Line Agreed on By
All Parties; Free
State Saves Tax
(Bv The Associated Press. J

LONDON, Dec. 1.-The Irish bound
airy question, which long has been an ir-
ritation to the people of Ireland and to
the British government, finally has been
settled under the agreement reached in
London a short time ago by which the
old line dividing North and South Ire
land remains intact and the Irish Free
State is absolved from paying to Great
Britain large sum of money to aid in
meeting Great Britain's war debt.
The parlaments of Great Britain, the
Free State and Ulster have adopted the
agreement and King George, on behalf
of Great Britain, has given the measure
the royal assent. Ulster had previous
ly ratified it, and last night in Dublin
the Dali Eireann gave it's approval by a
vote of II to 20 after four days of de-
bate, some of its acrimonious.
At the final session of the Dali
President Cosgrave contended that the
government for the first time had Sc
cured the good will Of Northern Ire
land. 1t had done the best it could to
settle the disturbing question in an
amicable manner.
Eamon De Valera, leader of the re-
publicans, remains unreeonciled. Like
wise the republican deputies of the Dali
have expressed unalterable opposition to
what they consider the partition of ire
land. Mr.. De Valera at a public meeting
in Dublin said republicans might have
to bow their heads for a time to en-
forced partition by foreign power but
their consent to this would never be
given. The right to win back the terri
tory remained unimnaired for those &c
whom the future would bring the oppor-
tunity, he declared.

court these concessions had been re-
ported to the war department by Ma
jor Raycroft Walsh Of the army air
service, who held them to be serious
menace to the defense Of the Panama
Canal
Major Strong said Major Walsh's re-
port had been used as the basis of a
war department recommendation to the
state department for the establish
ment of a United States air mail SER
vice in Central America, but that ne
gotiations between the two departments
and with representatives of the postof-
flee and commerce departments still
are in progress.
The court then turned to Colonel
MitchelPs charge that the national
guard has been flying without para
chutes for several years. Captain r.
W. Mackie of Houston, national guard
air officer and commercial flyer. testi-
fled for the prosecution that the ali
squadron of which he was a member
was supplied with parachutes a year
ago and no polit was allowed to take
the air without a parachute. All the
planes the squadron had he said, could
be operated by pilots wearing para
chutes.
German documents obtained from
Berlin war office files after the wal
were produced by Lieutenant Colone
Christian Beach, historical officer Of
the army war college. They made tht
claim that from January l. 1917, t.
August, 1918, total of 6,025 allied air
craft and balloons were brought dowY

MUSSELSHELL SOLON
URGES COUNTY FIGHT
ON BUDGET PROPOSAL

ROundup.-Believing that senate
bill No. 2, providing that county in
d~ebtedness over the legal limit should
be paid in the next four years by an
additional levy of 25 per cent of the
total amount payable during this pc
riod, should be defeated, Senator F.
T. Mccormick of Musselshell county
has asked taxpayers here to protest
the measure.
In a letter sent here, the senator
points out that this county has an
Indebtedness Of $798,222 above the
legal limit and that to discharge it
in four years would require the levy
ing Of an additional six mills for each
year. Seven counties are affected by
the measure, he said, and with the
exception Of one, none of them viii
feel its terms as seriously as Mussel-
shell county.

ASK CHANGE IN RULE
ON CARLOAD POULTRY
SHIPMENTS IN STATE

Helena.-Efforts are being made to
have the railways operating in Mon
tana rescind the regulation providing
that carloads of live chickens be made
up at n place and the lines are now
considering the request and an early
decision is expected.
The first carload of live chickens to
be shipped out Of the state was mar
keted last December.
In case the petition of the chicken
growers is successful a carload of live
chickens may be made up along a
line and full a rates enjoyed. I'm
der the present regulations if such
rates ? granted a car must be filled
at one spot, and because distribution
points in the state are usually so far
apart, it has only been feasible once
in the past to gather enough chickens
together in one spot to fill an entire
car.
Poultry men believe that the adop-
ton of the new schedule would great
ly stimulate the poultry business il
this state. While the shipping Of
dressed fowls from Montana has beer
steadily increasing during the pas
four or five years, there are many
very desirable advantages to shipping
poultry other than in cold storage.

There were 1882 boys and girls on
the farms Of Montana engaged in
boys and girls club work, OF All
club work, as it is better known. in
1924, according to Charles E. Potter,
state club leader for Montana. The
lines of work engaged in by the young
farmers and home makers included
the raising Of pigs, dairy calves,
poultry, growing gardens, potatoes
and corn, and canning, mending, sew

During the past year All club work
has been more successful in Montana
than ever before and the gap between
the number who started and the num-

smaller than it has ever been. Ap.
