LLOYD GEORGE SHOWS. " 4 !
CONFIDENCE in FARLEY.
Declares Conference Will be
! Inspiring Landmark Along
q Pathway of Peace
(By United Press)

Genoa, May 19-"This confer
ence will prove very inspiring
landmark along the pathway OF
peace" Lloyd George declared to-
day in a speech in the last plenary
session. The British premier de-
scribed the Genoa gathering as one
of the most remarkable confer
ences in history
He admitted the conference had
not progressed as far as the most
sanguine had expected. He regard
ed as temporary the truce pact, he
said. 1t is only provisional meas
ure, but once established no ma
ton would 60 back or it. "The eff
feet on the peoples of the world
will be electrical" he declared. "A
thrill OF peace has gone through
the nations"
Referring to Russia Lloyd George
said:
"When you have lent a man
money and he asks you for more,
you ask him whether he intends to
pay his, debts. If he replies it is a
matter of principal with him not to
pay his debts, you are not likely
to lend him money again."
If Russia is ready to receive help
she must not outrage the senti.
ments of the world.

VOLSTEAD CHALLENGES
BEER AND WINE issue
Declares Any Attempts. in
Congress to Weaken Act
Will be Defeated
(By United Press)

Washington, May 19-Any at
tempt in congress to weaken the
Volstead act to permit the manu-
facture Of beer and wine will be
challenged and beaten, Representa-
tive Andrew Volstead of minnesota
puthor of the Prohibition enforce
ment law, declared to the United
Press today. Volstead challenged
liberals in the house in their cam
paign to give local option and make
it an issue in the different congress-
ional district elections.
He regarded their attempt, it
was made known, as being know
ingly futile. The dry leaders will
take an active part in the coming
congressional campaign on the side
of prohibition. He is planning to
circulate number of budgets and
probably will make many speeches.
An out and out campaign to in
ject the wet and dry issue is being
made by Representative Hill of
Maryland and other Republican
liberals in the house. They will now
circulate petitions by which they
hope to force vote in congress
giving congressional districts the
fright to say whether they shall
have wine and beer for home use
only and to be taxed 20 cents per
gallonI ;.

was in possession of a sturdy COM
pany OF longsstanding stumps. At
p. m. that same acre was ready
to be seeded down for crop Of
grain to be garnered in the ap-
preaching harvest season. e"
In the three hours between and
o'clock, the stumps were blown
out with dynamite, the fragments
were dragged OFT and piled,. the

ments. The implements were opera
ted with tractors of different types.

A JOB FOR YOU, MIR. READER

Too many people seem to think
their duty of citizenship ends when
they vote and obey the law. Having
put man in Office they stand at
ease until the next order comes to
resume the political march. I'm
less there be a rapid awakening the
| time is not far distant in this ter
ritory when an object lesson will
force the taxpayers to realize they
must be on the job and that they
are a part. in fact the most impor-
tant part, of the government. The
lesson will come in the shortage of
coal. We are basking now in the
autumn, but it will not be long be-
fore the fires and furnaces will be
going full blast. Any thinking
man knows there will be coal
shortage. The conditions in the
local coal yards are we'll known,
and the increasing difficulty of OBJ
tanning fuel can be learned by any
one who cares to inquire. 1t the
people had been alive to their duty
they would not to-day be caught
between the millstones, the coal
barOns on the one hand and the
labor leaders on the other squeez-
ing out their lives. The public
could have ended the strike in short
order. But the public remained in
different. Warm weather was no
time to get excited about a possible
coal shortage. The coal barons
have not worried. They don't care
whether there is a shortage or not.
They will arrange their output by
fixing prices.
Even to-day the individual re-
mains apathetic. If every man and
woman were to write a letter to
our Congressman and to our two
United States Senators, particularly
the congressman, asking what steps
are being taken to protect his dis
trict and demanding that he see
that we obtain an adequate supply
of coal, something might be done.
There are plenty of letters written
for free seeds. Why not a line on
fair priced coal. Let our Congress-
man see we are on the job and that
we expect him to do what he can to
protect the people who sent him to
Congress.
