IRISH PEACE AND PROSPERITY.

REVIEW OF YEAR'S PROGRESS.

Dublin, March (U.P.) Ireland's chief hobby, politics, will be laid aside on March 17th and the whole country will join in doing honour to its patron saint-St. Patrick.

The Irish Free State and the six northern counties, for once in a way, will agree that everything must be done tingly.

the most up-to-date system is being more widely introduced into the western countries, midfind and where hitherto it was almost un- known.

Under the guidance of Patrick Hegan, Minister for Lands and Agriculture, whe, though by pro- fession a lawyer, is himself a prac- tical farmer, the farmers are aim celebrate it fiting at producing what in the words of the late Kevin O'Higgins, "is consistently good rather than de casionally excellent."

The people of the Irish Free State will make special efforts ip this direction, for they have reason to congratulate themselves on the marked progress which the country has made since the last national festivities from the political, economic and social point of view.

She had an anesthetic | FIRST administered, and had been under it about seven minutes when she stopped breathing.

Recruiting for the army and guard has been stopped for the time being. The strength of the army is to be reduced considerably, and benen hundreds of officers and men have resigned. Many of these, however, are joining the reserves, which is a cheaper wing of the army ser- vice.

Confidence in Cosgrave. The Executive Council, at the head of which is President William T. Cosgrave, bave won the con fidence of the vast majority of the citizens because of the courageous manner.in which they have tackled the economic and political problems of the State during the past few years, and especially during the period since last St. Patrick's Day.

The measure was to remain in force for five years.

Another great industrial enter- prise is the Carlow sugar beet factory which has been in full working order for some time, and has proved a great success,

Many thousand of pounds have been spent in housing schemes throughout the Irish Free State, especially for the working classes, whose condition of life has been thereby considerably improved.

Social Amenities

In the economic sphere 1928 has been a year of very hard work. It has marked the beginning of a period when measures promoted by the Government to assist agricul- ture--the main industry of the country have begun to yield good results. The cattle, horse, and dairying industries have shown marked improvement, the special regulations enforced in regard to exportation of eggs, butter, and bacon helping to capture a larger, The social side of the country has share in the British markets than of late been remarkably successful. hitherto.
