Ireland cannot be permit ted to withdraw from the British em pire. This Is the outstanding feature Of the note sent to Dublin by Prime Minister Lloyd George in reply to the letter of Hamonn De Valera, "president Of tlie Irish republic," which rejected the British government's terms for leace in Ireland. Mr. Lloyd George declared he would be glad to continue negotiations with pa mono De Valera, but warned the Itirli leaders that a needless prolonga tion of the conversations might wreck the chance of an agreement and ter minate the truce. In his communication Mr. Lloyd George preserved the same friendly tone that characterized his former let ters to Mr. De Valera. He buttressed the government's standpoint by quota tions from Irish patriots and Abraham Lincoln. A hopeful aspect of the situation as It Is viewed In London political circles Is that neither Mr. De Valera nor Mr. Lloyd George has yet closed the door on the negotiations. PROF.

POINTERS IN REGARDS TO NORTH MORROW COUNTY FAIR ON SEPT. 13 The North Morrow County Fair is scheduled for Sept. 13th, two days In advance of the County Fair at I Heppner in order that those who desire may send in their exhibits to Heppner. Last year's fair was a good be ginning. This year with Irrigon's help we should have a fair that will make surrounding districts sit up and take notice. The school house is an ideal place for displays. The wide halls will ac comodate a large part of the entries - the basement, too, will probably be used. See that your entries ar rive in good lime so that the com mittees in charge of arranging may do their best. One of the novel ideas to be car ried out is a friendly rivalry among the three districts Irrigon, the West End, and the East End as re gards to booths. The community having the most attractive booth. not necessarily the most in it, but the most artistic, will be awarded a special ribbon. The committee urge strongly that you get ai many exhibits as are not perishable in to the school on Mon day in order that the best possible arrangements of them may be made. You want your section to get that special ribbon, so help out by send ing exhibits the day before. Ladies' Attention With regard to the premium list for Domestic Science for our Fair. The committee wishes to make clear thai a display in canning con.sisis of three or more jars, I. e., one jar of Pears, one of Berries, one of Peaches, etc., and not three jars of each variety. This will apply to all entries except such small articles as biscuits, cookies, etc where six are required to make a display. We realize the difficulty of getting articles to the fair, and therefore have made the number small. A single jar of fruit, etc. may be en tered as an individual if desired, but cannot then be counted in with a display. Everyone is urged to make as many entries as possible. The pre mium list is large, consequently you can select several things in which you excel, to exhibit. Send in what news you have. Don't let this be a "men's fair". Make the homekeepers' display con spicuous by their abundance. Get your sewing and cooking displays thought up in advance so that you will not need to think afterwards of thai embroidered dolley or that plate of cookies that 1 ought to have taken that were just as good as those Mrs. Jones took. Don't wait to be solicited by a member of the fair committee. Get your entries ready and see that they get there the commltte will do the rest. Ladies' to Have Novel Display One of the features o fthe Domes tic Science exhibit at the Fair will be a table display of Kitchen Kinks., Labor Lifters or Household Helps- anything you wish to call them. Any article of kitchen or house hold machinery not as large as a stove necessarily that helps lighten your work or save time is eligible to this table. A new type of pan or knife, a bowl, a skimmer, mops or cleaning device or any such thing that someone else may not have seen. Whatever It may be, send It In so that your neighbor may profit by your discovery. Label plainly with your name and the name of the ar ticle to be exhibited. Every house heeper on the project and of Irrigon is Invited to help make IhLs feature one of great Interest to all. Don't "hide your light under a bushel" put It on the Kitchen Kink table. Lucy Drinks Soda and Tells Indian Legends SCHOOL OPENS NEXT WEEK School opens Tuesday, September Citli, and all pupils who expect to enter school should be present on the opening day. A cafeteria lunch will be served the first day and don't send any cash unless you ex pecl to pay each day.

ROW'S YOl It AUTO LH ENSK? Under the new automobile law It is necessary to get a temporary lic ense from tin; sheriff before being permitted to run a motor driven Vehicle, The sign "license applied for" will not do Also, It might be well to call attention to the fact that the automobile department Is check ing up on all cars, and those not having this temporary license card of the sheriff or the regular state license tag, will be in for some ex pensive troble. There are a good many other regulations to be com plied with, also, and it might be well to wise up, for there may be an In spector of the state department along any day Mrs. W. H.
