DIAMOND IMPORTER HAS FIGURED OUT
 GEMS IN AMERICA

A diamond importer has figured there should be ? short tons, 444 pounds, ounces, and 160 grains, troy weight of diamonds in the United States. He bases his calcu- lations On National City Banks es- timate that there are $1,0G0, 0,000,- 900 worth of diamonds in the coun- try and his own estimate that av- craze commercial value of diamonds of all grades is $250 per karat.
 Discussing probable or improbable boarding of gold, a business inves- tigator was recently reminded that there was nearly $500, 0,000,000 of gold in public circulation in the United States. He claimed diamond hoarding would be greater. He said
 Several years ago I took inven- tory for a jeweler. Toward the last, in sudden bJrst of confidence, the latter said: What I've shown you the mercantile agencies see, but look here Unpinning small purse from an inside pocket he showed few stones worth, he said, S12,000, or more than all his wis ible stock together A few weeks later the jeweler failed. His cred itors got 10 cent on the dollar.
 Many people wondered why he could keep up his fiat and gaso- line | knew ."-( (Wall Street Jour nal Straws.)

FORD MOTOR CONCERN MUST PAY DIVIDENDS
 TO ITS STOCKHOLDERS

DETROIT, March b. Besides ordering the Ford Motor Co. to pay stockholders $19,275,3S5 in divi- dends, Michigan State Supreme Court ruled the company may go in to the smelting business if it so desires, and that it can add as much of it's profits as it wishes to it's capi- tai account. Ground for the divi- Gend disbursement is that surplus is that much in excess of a reas- onable amount for carrying on the business and assuring it against unusual losses. The Court reversed the view of the Circut Court that refining of steel was beyond char ter powers of the Ford Co.

OUT OF ARMY OBJECTS TO
 OFFICERS CHARGE

PERSEVERANCE, March 5.-To the Editor. An article in Tues days Empire, entitled, Officer Raps Sourdoughs of North Country" :" calls for an answer. 1 take excep- tion to the word ''lie,' which he so frequently uses. I know that l
 didn't "lie,'' and 1 have very good reasons for having an equally good opinion of my Buddies who went
 to the trouble of going Outside to
 find a recruiting station, and still I am one of the many he takes
 pleasure in roasting.
 You no doubt are aware of how
 great the distance is from any of
 the points alon gthe Yukon River
 to Seattle. Well, we decided to go
 no matter what was the distance or
 what was the cost. Every man who
 could pass the physical examina- tion joined, and went to the branch of the service to which he was as signed. I happened to get into tnc dHh Soi po, anu Wdo dooi6u Il ed to the 320th Company, where found several other Alaskans, who agreed with me that we should be
 over there helping to clean up the
 mess that the Kaiser had made But you know the story. The Kaiser quit before we got into action, and
 we naturally wanted to get back be- fore the season was gone. You
 know that if man misses a sum- mer he had just as well miss a whole
 year. If there is no fighting to be
 done our job is finished and we're entitled to come home, as there's lots of work to be done here.
 He says we lied to get into the Army, I deny it! A good soldier never lies. He's afraid to lie. He
 knows he'll get caught if he does lie. 1 haven't heard of an Alaskan who hasn't got his character
 marked Excellent on his dis charge papers. That within itseli proves he is not a liar.
 It happened that every Alaskan | that I knew in the Army was pro noted. Do you think that all those commanding officers are fools? Dc YOU think they would risk putting their name to set of papers for a soldier unless they think he will make good? We'll, that's just what l the statement amounts to, when he says we lied to get into the Army If we lied, every examining physi clan who examined us lied when he marked us as belonging in class
 "A," and every officer lied when 1 he promoted us for our soIdierly qualities.

 name. I think I'd adopt our old slo-
 gan, Treat Elm Rough" I've got two fingers that are still twisted from coming in contact with the jaw of one of those fellows who loves the Kaiser and I'd like to straighten them out on the jaw ol
 anybody who doesn't like Alaskans SGT. JAS. H. FOSTER.

(NOTE-The Empire quite agrees with Sergeant Foster that Alaskans are need in Alaska in civil life now rather than in the Army which is larger than the country needs and which the Government is very much interested in reducing as fast as possible. Some .Alaskans may have romanced as to their ages when they got into the army, but if they did so it was to serve country and pa triotism. Now that the war .i is over they again want to serve their where they can best do that, and Sergeant Foster is right .p his contention that they can do that best here in Alaska. The Elm pire does not know the name of the officer about whom Jack Under wood, himself a former Alaskan, 0rites.-Editor.

BEGINS:
PROSPECTS GOOD
TO PLAY FRIDAY NIGHT
The Would Be- Varsity Men. Are Now
Trying Out Their Eyes and
Arms at Shooting Goals.

Since the season of the pigskin has
passed, basketball has now come into
it's own and the would-be- Varsity men
are trying out their eyes and arms by
constantly shooting at the goals and
with sure, snappy passes. Practice
under the supervision of the coach has
not yet begunu but the men are pre-
pairing for the inter-class games which
are to take place shortly. The juniors
seem to have slight edge on the rest
Of the school with Henderson, Sum-
ners, Lester, Ford land Green, of last
years team in addition to Shipman
and Harper of Millsaps, and Saunders
Of Mississippi College. In addition to
5liese men Scruggs, Bell, Herring and
sykes and Potts are showing up well.
The Seniors will be represented by a
fairly good team which will center
about Morris, a star of last years
team here. Kirk also should prove
valuable man for them. The Sopho-
mores will have to be watched closely
as they boast of such players as Ford,
Strange, Rape Ashley, Schwartz and
McDaniels and many others equally
as good. The Freshmen, of course,
are an unknown quantity, but they are
said to have some exceptionally good
men and will undoubtedly make it hot
for somebody. Ole Miss intends to
put out winning team in Basket ball
this year and all men who play this
game are urged to report for practice
as soon as the call is issued. The
first of the inter-class games will taks
place this Friday night in the gym.
Come out and root for your team. The
'iRter-class schedule follows:
Soph. VS.. Fresh, Dec. 5.
Jun. VS.. Seniors, Dec. 8.
Jun. VS.. Soph. Dec. 9.
Fresh. VS.. Juniors, Dec Is.
Soph. VS.. Seniors, Dec. 10.
The two leading teams will play
three game series, the dates to be ar
ranged later.
