Pre- mier Lloyd George, Premier Gle

representative, in the course OF a
few days, it was announced by Mr..
Lloyd George in the House of Com
mons today. An effort to settle the
question of Fiume is the purpose OF
the meeting, he said. The Premier
said, in the course OF his speech that
there was complete agreement among
the Allies on the question OF non-inter-
vention in Russia. but that discussions
were proceeding between the United
States and Japan, concerning future &C
tiO1 in the Bolshevik advance should 1t

The Premier aid the agreement TO guar
antee France against wanton aggression,
was subject to ratification by the United
States on that particular point. II the
United States should MT ratiI! the guar
aDtae to France, he stated. Great Britain
would be free to reconsider her position.
The Premier began by defending a GER
tain reticence in negotiation, ln~stanclng
the danger of drop ing a word ca culated
to kindle infiammable opinion in Italy
regarding Fiume, but contended that
this was not secret diplomac and point
ed out hat the publicity given to all
decisions of the Paris Conference
was unprecedented. With reference
to he Anglo-American-French Conven-
tons, he said that the British had
given no undertaking on the subject, for
the simple reason that it could not mag
inc that the United States would dishon-
our the signature of its great representa-
tive. He admitted that for Great Bril-
tair to undertake the charge alone,
would be a serious obligation, which he
would not enter upon without the con-
SEM of Parliament. Adding to his Rus
star statement, he said, it was a dismal
prospect, but they could only keep a vigi-
lanr watch until Russia issued from IFS
present darkness with a stable govern
ment to carry on negotiations.

OBITUARY

The body Of Daniel Gibson, who
met death in a double mine accident
by an explosion Of gas at the Pauline
mine at Bannock. o., Feb. 16, was
brought to Wadsworth, O., the former
home of the deceased for burial.
Mr.. Gibson was born at Lask Edge,
England, on February II, 1869, where
his mother, aged 81 years, and two
sisters, Charlotte and Sarah, still re-
side.
He married Elizabeth Willshaw,
January /, 1889, who with four chill
dren, Walter, Lucy, Arthur and Will
bur survive. An older brother, Sam,
is supposed to be in the Canadian
army.
Mr.. Gibson came to this country
with his family in 1905, settling at
Wadsworth, O., where they resided un-
til 1912 when they removed to Ban
mock, Ohio, where he has since resided,
on August A, 1912, their oldest daugh-
ter was struck by train and instant
ly killed near the Erie depot at Wads-
worth.

satisfactory results.
The application of lime, acid phos-
phate, and manure can always be re-
lied upon in most sections as means
OF adding the necessary increased fer
tility.
Reseeding, particularly in bare
spots, is to+be recommended. White
and Japan clover, bermuda, herds
grass, carpet grass, and blue grass
in favored sections are commonly used.
AS a rule reseeded pastures should
be lightly grazed the first year. AT
all times it is advisable to keep the
cattle off the grass in the spring until
well started. Closer grazing during
the rest Of the season may be prac-
ticed where this has been done. 1t
is also advisable to turn cattle off the
pasture earlier in the fall than is
commonly practiced.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE
THE BOYS COME HOME

There's going to be lot of war
talk and never-ending stories to tell
when the boys return. They'll be
chock full of tales to stir the blood
and arouse admiration.
The most sensational war in the
worlds history has furnished material

tening to tales of great battles and

ls subject TO normal, tax. the wlre's
net income is considered separately in
computing any surtax that may be due.
Husband and wife file Jointly, as a
rule. If the husband does not include
his wife's income in his return the
wife must file separate return.
Severe Penalties.
The new Revenue Law places severe
penalties on person who fails to
make return on time, refuses to make
return or renders q fraudulent return.
For failure to make return and pay tax
on time fine of not more than $1,000

due is added to the assessment. For
refusing wilfully to make return or
for making a false or fraudulent re-
turn there Is a fine Of not exceeding
$4,000 and Imprisonment of not ex-
ceeding one year, or both.
Farmers income Taxable.
Every farmer and ranchman who
had a fair or a good year in 1918 must
heed the Income Tax this year. He
must consider all his income as tax
able. He,1s entitled to deduct from
his gross income all amounts expended
in carrying on his farm. The cost of
farm machinery, farm buildings and
improvements cannot be deducted.
The cost Of live stock, either for re-
sale or for breeding purposes. Is also
regarded as investment.

Salary and wage earners must con-
slider as taxable every item received
from employers and from other
sources. Bonuses and overtime pay
are to be reported as well as the regu-
lar payments.
Allowances for Losses.

atty or from theft.

GRAVE PHOTOS TO BE
SENT TO RELATIVES

Mementoes upon whiceh mny tears
are destined to fall in the years to
come are photographs of American
soldiers graves in Europe that are
being taken and sent to the next of
kin by the Red Cross.
Mounted in a cardboard folding
frame stamped with the seal of the
United States in gold and containing
data concerning the dead hero, they
will be treasured in thousands Of
homes.
Most will be merely pictures of the
simple wooden cross lettered with the
soldiers name, which marks every
grave where it was possible to iden-
tify the body.
These little tokens will probably be
the last and only mementoes of near
and dear who died in the war abroad.
For a feeling is growing that they
who died and were buried in foreign
lands should be allowed to rest there
as a tremendous and lasting symbol

IMPROVE PASTURES

The next few months is the desir-
able time of the year for the improve
ment Of pastures. Large areas of
permanent pasture would respond to
proper methods of improvement which
might include the following:
Keep the pastures clean by cutting
of brush, briars. and weeds. Large
stumps, stones and dead trees should
also be removed.
Those areas used for pasture that
would permit narrowing and disking
at the time of reseeding, applying
lime, fertilizers, and manure, ETC., may
be greatly benefited. In some sec :
tions terracing may be practiced with
