The pessimism over the IriBh situation wtilch today In some quarters in Dublin reached al most to the point of hopelessness, yielded tonight to reasoned optimism when the program for the meeting to morrow of the Dall Eirean was made public. Instead of Immediately taking up the problem of peace, or vm. , the Sinn Fein parliament will spend at least two days In dealing with the formali ties Incident to the opening of the new legislative body, thus providing an opportunity for many things to hap pen behind the scenes. All Ireland Is eagor for a decision by the parliament on the British govern ment's termR. whether it be accept ance of them, the expression of a de sire for further negotiations, or rejec tion, in order to remove the tension which exists. The belief prevails that rejection wotlld mean a resumption on an In'1 tensifled scale when the trace ends, of the guerrilla warfare that tor so long: terrified the country. Dublin castle officials view the pro longation of the sessions of the Dall fflrean Ih various lights. One section of the British govern ment forces expresses the fear that de lay In Immediately acting on the trou blesome questions at Issue may pro voke the military. whl$h Is doClared to be not hopeful of a favorable settle ment, into making preparations for eventualities. The other section, however, advan ces the opinion that the longer the members of the Dall Klrean are In debate the greater will be the chance for acceptance of the Imperial govern ment's terms. These persons affect to a bright spot In a prolonged ses ?Ion. arguing that one day would be sufficient to ond the negotiations if the republican cabinet so desired. i TAB KITES LEAGUE. ? _ W.

In the organizations I can see ? very definite effort to place the selling of farm crops on a basis as businesslike as that employed by any modern business concern and I can see no reason why tnese methods should not prove as successful for the sale of these crops as they have proven for. all other lines of business. I can see fix these associations a movement which I sincerely believe *111 bring prosperity to Franklin, county and tq the whole South in a manner never before paralleled. In stead of the high prices paid for these crops during the latter part of the war and the year following with a corres ponding high scale of prices for things which we had to buy there will be, it appears to me, an unending period of highly profitable prices for these crops without the high prices wc were for ced lo pay tbe last few years for the things we bought.
