There are more th^n 3,000,000 Ford cars in dsuly service throughout the world, and fully eighty per cent of these are Ford Touring Cars. There are many reasons for this, not the least of which is the simplicity in the design of the car, so easy to understand; likewise it is easy to operate; and mighty inexpensive compared to other motor cars. On the farm, in the city, for business and for family pleasure, it is the car of the people, and the demand is increasing every day.« Let us have your order promptly if you

Ask Rectfaitioa of the Irish Republic An audience that almost filled the

opera bouse last Friday evening thor­oughly enjoyed the splendid program given by the pupils of the Assumption school which served as a fitting pre­liminary to the masterful address by M. V. Gannon of Davenport on "Mod­ern Ireland." The speaker held the closest attention of his audience while in an unimpassioned manner he pre­sented Ireland's claim for independence. He feviewed the history of his native land and related the injustice perpe­trated upon a helpless people by their powerful conquerors. But in spite of all efforts to crush out the spirit of nationality, the Irish racc has retained its identity and now demands in the name of justice the rights whicfi have been accorded to other raccs.

At the conclusion of the address Rev. Father Ryan presented a set of reso­lutions. John F. Murtha moved their adoption, the motion was secpnded by Wm. Daly and by practically a unani mous rising vote they were adopted. The resolutions are as follows:

Whereas, the Irish Nation has long since exercised the inalienable right of self-determination by an eighty per cent vote of the Irish people under the forms and guarantees of British election laws;

Whereas, an avowed purpose of the war was to enforce the rights of self-determination and "consent ot the gov­erned;" and to extend these self-evident rights to the oppressed peoples ot the earth;

Whereas, in the late war, American citizens of Irish descent and extraction, in large numbers, have rendered their services, contributed their fortunes, and sacrificed their lives in the sacred cause of international justice to make the world safe for democracy;

Be it therefore resolved, that we, citi­zens of Cresco, Iowa, in meeting as­sembled, in the opera house, on the 19th day of March, 1920, earnestly and re­spectfully ask our Chief Executive and the American Congress to redeem the foregoing pledge of America's sacred honor to the American people and to the world in the manner following:

First: Immediate recognition of the Government de jure now established in the Republic of Ireland.

Second: Immediate enactment of the Mason bill now pending in the House of Representatives.

Be it further resolved, that copies of these resolutions be transmitted to the President of the United States, to each United States Senator from Iowa, to our Congressman, and to the local press for publication.

Farm Bureau Membership Drive. Beginning Monday, March 29, the

Howard County Farmers will begin a short but thorough campaign to complete the farm membership drive that was interrupted by severe wea­ther last fall. In some communities every farmer is already a member of the farm bureau. However, in Paris, Saratoga and Jamestown townships no membership work has been done on account of the weather.

Over 125,000 farmers already be­long to the State Farm Bureau Fed­eration and considerably over 1,000,-000 are represented by the American Farmbureau Federation. The idea of a county, state and national farm bur­eau is taking hold on farmers in such a way that they have l>uilt up one of the strongest organizations of any kind in the country and by far the strongest farmers organization that has ever existed.

In order to bring the work of the farm bureau closer to the members, the Howard County Farm B-jreau is planning a series of township meet­ings so that the township can elect their own officers and outline plans for work that they wish to have car­ried out. It is expected that crop im­provement, drainage, soil improve­ment, boys and girls club work, mar­keting, etc. will be some of the things that will be demanded.
