I".?The second private session of the Dail Eireann today having under consideration the Ar.glo-Irish treaty, lasted un til nearly 8 o'clock this evening and adjourned without reaching a decision. It will be resumed early in private session tomorrow to con tinue its deliberations. The most that can be said tonight is that there is a strong possibility that the public session, at which k is hoped to take a vote on ratifi cation of the treaty, may nor 1 e held until Saturday. If matters should progress no further tomor row, however, than they have to day, i: was thought likely that even Saturday's sitting would be private and that the public session there fore, would be postponed until next week. The interpretation placed on this in that it is felt to be undesirable to debate the controversial points in detail in the presen.ee of the newspapermen., and that public sessions, of course, will be arranged beforehand. The delegates to the London negotiations and some <>;" their supporters are said to be de termined to afford themselves an opportunity of stating in public to the Dail Eireann, and through the Dail to the country, the reason why they recommend acceptance of the trc aty. The opponents of the treaty are already anxious to explain their ob jection to it. Some of them object to inclusion of Ireland in tic- Brit ish empire and some to the privy council as the supreme court of ap peal, and there are numerous ob jections to assuming a share of Great Britain's war debt. Dr. Ado English, one of the wo men members of the Dail. com menting upon the situation this evening, said: "We need a strong man to get our b-aders together. We must have this treaty." Heated discussions were indulged in before this afternoon's meetings was called, various members of the Dail gathering in groups about the corridors of University College. They were so engrossed in their discussions that the meeting which was scheduled to assemble at 4 o'< lock was not actually called to ord'-r until more than an hour later. Even then th>- members had to be reminded by officers of the Irish Republican army that the speaker had called the assembly to order. A. IJnnr Law for Irish Treaty London. Dec: 13.?The event of the day in connection with the Irish settlement was the decision of Andrew Bonar Law. Unionist, former government leader in the House of Commons and one of 111 * - strong men on the Ulster side, to accept the treaty, and, if not to invite Ulster to come into the set tlement, a: ail events to counsel ac ceptance of the boundary commis sion, which the Marquis of Lon donderry, in the House ?>: Lords, hinted Ulster might reject. Mr. Bonar La v had been confi dently reib d upon, by the "die bards."' it in? spoke a? all. to s.np por: Lord Carson in opposing the treaty, or. at the worst, to remain neutral. Iiis speech had taken mu'-h of the force cat of the Car sonite attack, are! is considered to have insured ratification ?>: treaty by an overwhelming joriry in tic- House of Commons. Had he opposed tie- treaty, there would likely have been an acqui sition to the forces of the "die hards," estimated at from tort;.' :<. fifty, who expected to vote against ratification.

NAVAL 10 United States, Great Britain and Japan Finally Agree on Naval Limitation Washington. Dec. 15.- The first : great stride toward a five-pow'or treaty limiting naval armaments was taken tonight when the United [States, Great Britain and Japan j announced a final agreement on the American "5-5-3" ratio: j The next step?elaboration of the [agreement to include France and j Italy?was initiated immediately . within new naval committee of [fifteen, in which all five powers i are represented. Agreement among the three ma ' ior naval Powers was reached on j the basis of a "status quo under l standing as to fortification of the [Pacific islands. At the same time the United States and Great Brit tain acceded to Japan's ?? srie to j retain her newest battleship. t!a j Mutstt. with proportionate changes ; in the American and British fleets; i While the i rineiples of the ori.g i inal American proposal were noi ? impaired by the triangular agree ment, the settlement contemplates the following changes in Beets to i be retained: Great Britain, twenty ships in stead of i .venty-one, with an ag gregate of s2.or,-? ions- instead of 604.4-50 tons. United States, eighteen ships as originally proposed, but with an aggregate of 525.000 tons instead Of 500.650 tons. Japan, ten ships as originally proposed, but with an aggregate of 313 3"" tons instead of L'yy.TOO tons. At tie- end of the ten-year build ing holiday, the fleets will stand under the revised detailed plan as follows: Great Britain. 525.000 ton:-" United Stat??--. 525.000 tons; Japan, 31 5.000 tons. In announcing tie- three-power agreement to the committee of fif teen the following otfieial expla nation was made: "This arrangement between the I United Stats. Great Britain and I Japan is. so far as the number of ! ships to be retained and trapped i is concerned; d? ? i?? ? t : * I ? at upon a [suitable agr^envrnt with France i Italy as ro th !r capital ships." i Strict silence was maintained by I all members of the committee of ! fifteen as i>> what transpired after } the announcement had hen re | eefved. an otTroial statement saying i merely that negotiations for the I five-power agreement and treaty ! were proceeding.

' In substance ami effect." he 1 declared, "it binds us never to hav>- a navy greater than Britain; \i conceded to Japan a navy out of all proportion to her wealth and population." The "r?-5-3" proposal submit ted by Secretary Hughes was de ; scribed by Mr. Reed as so gen erous to Great F'ritain and -Japan that he could not hut wonder whether it had not come from the British government itself. At any rat-, in- said, it was so generous and America ha 1 displayed sue!; aItriuism that the United States ou~br not to be asked "to pay the price of foregoing the advantage she now has." "America demonstrated during the war." he continued, "that she could beat She world. Had need he. she could have demonstrated that she could conquer the world.

All of these things can be grown at home much more cheaply than they can be purchased from other sections, and producing them should not interfere with the production of staple cash crops but should round out a well balanced cropping system. On any farm oh which a good rotation is followed for the purpose of building up the fertility of the land and maintain ing a system of diversified agricul ture, all of these crops can be grown economically and to good advantage. Provide a Good Mi-Year ifomc Garden. On every self-supporting farm "all-year" vegetable garden, be this l large or small, is one of the lead j ing sources of food supply, and therefore is of first importance and i I of indispensable value. In fact, without a good garden, both spring and there can be no "100 p?r j cent" self-supporting farm. The. I underlying principles involved in I good gardening are; (1) site and ' soil selection: (2'i advanced plan ning: (2) deep and thorough prep aration of the soil: '4) judicious and liberal applications of fertiliz ers and barnyard manures: (') careful selection of varieties and liberal quantities of good seed: < ?* i thorough cultivation; and (Ta in sect and disease contr ?!. Provide and Care For a Good Gome Orchard. It has been proved conclusively that the snii:! of S??uth Garolina are more than ordinarily .adapted t ? the growing of fruit for home use. and in some sections for commer . ial shipment. In the new agra-m ti.ral program, necessitating nv?re than ever before the ''self-support" ing" farm, the well-kept home orchard and fruil garden will play a great part.

The egg type such as the [leghorns are in favcr n.m< ng poultry men because of tied*- great egg-pr ?ducing ability. When starting in with the farm flock one should be sure to obtain some purebred stock, especially purebred males.

The roll call re sulted \r: i to 71 and the bill now goes to the senate. h wrangling over the measure the house attempted to chop it to pieces with amendments.

There had been two solid hours of debate during which a flood oi eloquence was I..*, loose on the arg ument that the starving' children of Russia, regardless of the Bol shevik reign thai had brought about their distress should have ! their cry for bread silenced with American food. when, a new fight was starred over proposals to tear the bill to pieces.

Chairman Madden, of the ; appropriations committee, declared it was easy to vote a tax on the backs of the American people, and cry at the same time for economy.

Mr. Madden shouted, add ing that information to this effect had been laid before him confi dentially. "Hur I can not see my way clear to vote money out of the treai* : ury." said the chairman, "when it is not to be used to relievo the ' distress of the people we were sent here to aer\ e." When the time came to receive amendments more than a score of members, .lumping to their feet, de . rnanded recognition.

After that amendments were s?mt up in rapid succession only to be I knocked down.
