Truly no statesmen were ever con. | { fronted with a more complex prob- | lem. No matter which way they turn | they are faced with threats of civil | War. Should the Home Rule bill now | under consideration be passed, the Sinn Fein party will reject it. They demand a clean break away from { Britain and the establishment of an | | independent republic.

Amid. this talk, 'Back .to the! Land," we hear the crygshat the boys leave the farm. It's a good thing that some of them do! It's a good thing for the farm and it's a good thing for the soil to have a man wc rking it who loathes the job. It is a hdmiliation to a field of 'good clay loam to have a man tilling it who feels above his! occupation. The boy who is always watching the clock ought to go to the nearest town and join a union.
