UNEMPLOYED
MUST BE BANISED
Civilization Can Be Saved Only by Tri-
umph of Justice and Fair Play,
Says Lloyd George.

London, March 5-Premier Lloyd
George, in addressing the first meeting
to-day of the joint committee of en-
ployers and employees constituted by the
industrial Parliament last week said:
Civilization. unless we try to save it,
may be preeipitated and shattered TO
atoms. It can be saved only by the
triumph n justice and fair play to all
classes alike"
The premier warned the committee
that it was the trustee of the welfare
and safety of the whole nation. I'm
employment must be banished, he said,
and the workers must never again be
put in dread of the horrors Of distress
and hunger.
let the workers understand the pre-
mier declared" that where there is an
increase Of products they will get fair
share of it,
Mr.. Lloyd George said that what was
wanted was more confidence and under
standing between employers and en-
ployes. The employers must never again
say; you are earning too much, your
wages must come down
The task Of supplying the world with
material had fallen to the United States
and England and possibly Japan, the
premier continued. 1t was a mistake, he
said, to keep men working longer hours
than were absolutely necessary, but at
the same time foreign competition and
the need of productivity for a commu-
nifty of 100000 people must be borne
in mind. He pointed out to the workers
that what was happening in Russia
might happen in Germany and elsewhere.
He said that anarchy was least suited
to the working class, because when they
appeared to be triumphing most they in
reality, except for a favored few, were
suffering the most dreadful horrors

Vail from waving the provision of the

ACCURATE BOOK ACCOUNTS
Are First Requisite in Making Out Tax
Reports.

Washington. D. c., March 5-Tnstrlc-
ton for retail merchants on the filing of
tax returns and the calculation of tax
due, issued to-day by the internal rev
enue bureau. emphasize the Importance
of accurate book accounts, particularly
for small businesses, as the first requisite
in making reports. Periodical inven-
tories also were advocated strongly.
The bureau suggested this formula
for determining the net income Of a re-
tail merchant:
add the cost of merchandise bought
for sale during the year, to the inven-
tories taken at the beginning of the
year. From this sum deduct the inven-
tories taken at the end of the year The
balance is the cost of the goods sold.
This cost, plus business, or overhead
expenses, when deducted from the gross
receipts, gives the correct net income of
the business. The inventory" the rev
enue bureau statement added, "is fully
as important as the cash account in de-
termining the gain or loss in a retail
business.
I'm making their inventories at the
end of each taxable year, retailers may
list the values by either of two methods:
~ the cost of the goods, or (2) the cost
or market price, whichever is lower The
freight, express, carriage and storage
costs may be added to the cost of each
lot of goods
Besides the net cost of goods sold, the
retailer is allowed to deduct from his
gross sales for the year the necessary
expenses incidental to the business. No
personal, family or living expenses of
any kind may be included in such deduc-
tions. The ordinary retailer might have
as expenses clerk hire, rent of business
property, interest on his business indebt-
edness, and taxes on his business and
business property, Also, there may be

INSPECTING SWEET POTATO
 FIELDS OF THE STATE

Little Rock, Oct. 20.-George G.. Becker, chief inspector of the State Plant Board, has been making an in spection of the sweet potato fields of those wh oapplied for inspection.
 He reports that the prevalence of stem rot or wilt prevented many fields from passing the inspection:
 In discussing the situation, MT. Becker said: T am sorry that every man could not get certificate of in spection, but at the same time it was very gratifying to find that failure to pass inspection was not due as much to negligence or carelessness on the part of the growers as it was to the fact that most of them did not realize

SIC, ,OOO, ,OOO DIAMOND COMPANY
 TO OPERATE IN PIKE

The first car load of machinery for the diamond mines in Pike county passed through this city this week, over the M. D. & G. railroad, and was urloaded at Murfreesboro, from which pl..ce it was hauled to the diamond mines. The machinery is said to all be of very high class, and came from Aldene, N. J., consigned to the Arkansas Diamond Corporation.
 The Arkansas Diamond Corporation was recently organized, with capital stock of $10,OOO,O0O for operation in Pike county. Soon after organization the company shipped eighty diamonds to New York, one of which weighed 17.83 carats in the rough. All the operations so far have been only sur face work, and the real mining opera tions will begin when the new plant of the company is finished.
 These mines, which are the only diamond mines in the United States, have not been in operation for several years, several of the companies hav- ing been tied up in litigation.
 The diamonds from these mines are said to be as fine as any found any where in the world, and much of the property has brough fabulous prices, many farmers becoming rich over night because of the finding of the mines. One large plant was built on the mines, but this has not been in operation for several years, and the plant is said to be in bad condition from lack of use.-Nashville News.

the seriousness of wilt. We can get
 rid of black rot and we could even handle the sweet potato weevil, if we had it to contend with, but wilt can not be either killed or controlled-it must be prevented
 "Once piece of ground becomes infected with wilt it will eventually become worthless for sweet potatoes. Ground remains infected for at least eight years-how much longer we do not know. What we must do, there fore, is to set out nothing but slips which are absolutely free of the dis
 ease, it matters not whether the
 ground is free of the disease or not.
 If the ground is free, you want to
 keep it free and if it is infected you
 want to keep it from spreading the infection"

JOHN F. WARNER KILLED
IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Proprietor of Minot Battery Service
Co. Was Instantly Killed When
Auto Turned Over on MinOt-
Logan Road.

John F. Warner, owner of the Mi
not Battery Service Co., at 20 First
Street S. E., met instant death on the
Minot-Logan road about five miles be-
low this city at about $3.50 o'clock
Tuesday night when rear tire on his
Overland car blew out, the machine
skidding in the road and turning up
side down on the unfortunate man.
He was found few minutes after
the accident by G. F. Truax and Mr..
and Mrs. Blonde who were driving in
that vicinity. The car was seen to be
upside down in the road and the occu-
pants of the Truax car investigated.
Mr.. Blonde got out and went to the
overturned Overland and found Mr..
Warner dead beneath the car. The
body was still warm, but the man was
dead beyond any question. The car
was without top and as it went over,
the wind shield and steering wheel
were smashed, allowing the full
weight of the car to rest On Warner
chest. He was lying on his back with
his head and shoulders protruding
from beneath the car. The mans face
was black from the congestion caused
by the weight of the car. Mr.. Truax
and Mr.. Blonde tried in vain to lift
the car and pull the mans body out,
but could not do so. In a few minutes
another car, in which Mr.. and Mrs.
Melvin Fauchald, Mrs. Julius Fauchald
and James Burgess rode, came along
and the four men were able to get the
body out. The Fauchald car hurried
to Minot and notified Coroner Pence,
the Truax car and occupants remain
ing until the arrival of the coroner,
who did not deem an inquest neces-
sary. The body was brot to this city.
Mr.. Warner had gone to Velva that
day on business and was hurrying
home He passed the Fauchald car at
Sawyer and it is said that he was go
ing fully 80 miles an hour. When
the tire blew out, the speed caused
his car to skid and overturn. The
rear of the car was pointed in the di'
rection Of Minot when found.
Mr.. Warner was we'll known turnout
this section of the state as success
full businessman. About two years
ago, he established the Minot Bat
terry Service Co., in this city and made
a success of the business. He was
also proprietor Of a garage in Velva
where he resided for some time. He
had extensive real estate interests in
the vicinity of Velva.
Mr. Warner was born at South
Bend, Ind, thirty-fve years ago, where
his parents still reside. He was mar
ried ten years ago to sister of Atty.
John c. Lowe. who survives him.
, There are no children. He was a
member of the Masonic and Odd Fell
,, lows lodges at Velva.
The funeral was held in this city
Wednesday afternoon.
