The rates announced were de cided on after a joint conference among the commission, shippers and carriers, at which the problems in volved were thoroughly discussed At l he last meeting of the Green field Grange it was decided that in stead Ot holding two business meet ings each month as has been our custom we will hold one business meeting on the first Saturday even ing of each month, and a social meet to which all are invited on the third Saturday evening of each month be ginning with October. The kind of entertainment for our first social meeting will be decided upon at pur next regular meeting on the first Saturday evening in Oct ober, then announced Immediately after. I would suggest that at each social gathering those present, whether Grangers or otherwise, should de cide upon the nature of the enter tainment for the following month. Let everybody have something to say as to whether it will be a dance, a card party, or will we play the good old games we used to play "When you and I were young. Mag gie." All the older boys and girls will remember the needle's eye which, doth supply the thread that ran so truly. You will all remember the rest. Then there is spat 'em out, nap and catch 'em, blind man's buff, ring around the rosy, and many others which we thought great sport 4 0 years ago. The old fashioned spelling match used to furnish considerable amuse ment, also. Would it not lie a treat for the younger people if the old timers who were In their prime 3 5 to 40 years ago would produce a sample of the entertainment of those days? The committee on invitation con si Ms of every man, woman and child whose name appears on the Grange books, whether their dues are paid to date or not. There is no password or mystic signs required at this meeting. .Now brother and sister Grangers, if you have yet just one little Spark of community spirit left in your makeup, apply the bellows and start a little flame, then fan the flame and make your invitations so cor dial that none can refuse to come. Remember the date, the third Sat inlay in October. Let each come determined to fur nish entertainment lor all the rest and we will have a greater time than ilir cat and the parrot. C. H. DILLABOt'GH, Master of Greenfield Grange. Irish Reject British Proposal London. The Irish republican par liament's reply to Premier Lloyd George's latest Communication rejects I the British government's proposals for settlement of the Irish question on the ground that they are not based on a dominion status for Ireland. It leaves the way open for further negotiations, however, by offering at once to appoint , plenipotentiaries on the basis of the principle of government by consent of the governed. The reply shows De Valera and the ; Dail Kireann have not Needed from j their former position. It emphasizes that the British government's propos als are not an invitation to enter into a free and willing partnership with the nations of the British comnion wi alt li, but that the conditions Lloyd George seeks to impose would divide Ireland into two artificial and mutu ally destructive states. It insists plen ipotentiaries must enter a conference Stt trammeled by conditions, but with that rnovisot and sara thlL tUu. Uiil Eireann Is ready to appoint plenipo tentiaries, Except that Mr. De Valera seems to Ignore the premier's warning of danger in delay, the position is much the same as In the last exchange in leters. The most threatening feature still remains the refusal of Ul3ter to yield. ;n which it is recognized there 1 real danger TAKEN OVER PROJECT Miss Gladys Price, the domestic arts teacher, and Miss Glatt, the in termediate teacher, who came on Saturday and Sunday respectfully, and are living at the Teacher's Cot tage, were taken over the project Sunday afternoon by the Flnnells.

We've a wonderfully fine school building and a splendid corps of teachers, so we all BX yea I great things. Things have not been perhaps per fectly satisfactory In the past and discipline has been lax, but we have turned over a new leaf and expect better conditions this year, so we Uggssl that parents be a bit more careful about discussing the short coming of the teachers in the pre sence of their children. We should all stand with the teach ers whole heartedly in their efforu and their work, and if we do this we shall have a school which will rank first in the county in evefy-thlng. GREAT CROWDS GREET MR. PRICE AMI BRIDE Send in what news you have. POEM by UNCLE JOHN A CURIOI S DREAM I dreamed one night, as fellers will when everything around is still, an' what I saw it seemed to me, was true to life as it could he. It pleased me lots, to realize that I'd been wafted to the sides, where everything was bright an' fair, with music soundin' everywhere. Each buddin' flower an' shinin' face that filled the mighty boundless space, was chantin' chords so powerful sweet, I really never seen the beat! I told an angel, standin' near, that I lived in another sphere, an' bein' a stranger thataway, I couldn't think of much to say .... an' while I stood to watch it all, I felt concerned, for fear I'd fall. , The angel saw that I was scared, an' told me not to be afeared, remarkin' as he took my arm, that heaven was mighty free of harm. "This home of ourn," he says to me, "was built to last eternally. It's underpinned with love of God, an' latticed with the chastenin' rod; the mortar mixed with blood an' tears, it ort to stand, a billion years. . . . I Veckon you would never guess that heaven is built on man's distress, an' gained by one, unfailin' plan, THE GOOD-WILL OF YER KELLER-MAN . . . . " . . . . I waked at early dawn of day, an' hated that I couldn't stay, so I resolved, right then an' there, to treat my friends an' neighbors square. Thursday night last a great crowd gathered at the Price residence tp charivari Mr. Price, a prominent farmer, and his loving young brido. Unfortunately they were no I at home but i he joy was positioned until Fri day night when their friends and neighbors were deliclously treated. Saturday night the balance of their (rienda came to get their share of the treat. We hope thai the esteemed couple will not be disturbed tn the future so they can peacefully enjoy their iionc) moon. The Mirror extends congratula tions to the happy pair.
