accomplishing the end towards which
they have been working some time, that
OF balancing the accounts between Viz

Federal government borrowed some
money from Virginia and never paid 1t
back, Later on the national government
purchased some Virginia bonds, not q
great many. but at a high rate of inter,
est. Virginia has not been paying this
interest, and the two amounts have been
approaching each other from that time
down to 1854. when, according to the CAL
culations OF Judge Dew and the national
counting machines the two accounts
lacked only about s. to balance each
other.
This was fixed upon MS the date fAr the

subject which seemed to be causing much

The farmers seem to be enthusiastic on
the subject and are enterin into It
heartily. The company will conflne them-
selves mostly to the packing Of tomatoes

There Is rumor that there will be q

your case is sad,
md. though mine has been the profit. yet
it hurts me most as bad,
And of course | do not blame you If you
feel a little sore
Since my line fence was allowed to run
jam up by your back door.
But remember while in anger you defy
the motherland
With the threat of independence and your
sons undaunted stand
With their bosoms well inflated for a
fercely warlike shout
That your Uncle Sam II git you II you
don't watch out.
It IL do you good to whimper, for you've
not been vexed by strife
And the things most Of us suffer in the
nursery of life,
And you've yet to learn that living hasn't
quite lost all its joy
Just because some bigger infant has gpur-
Joined a treasured toy
There's hint of future greatness in the
music Of your sobs,
And Tn glad your heart, unfettered, at
the thought of freedom throbs,
And hope you'll soon feel better; but, re-
member, when you pout,
That your Uncle Sam IL git you If you
don't watch out.

Mr. Vest is engaged in the prepare

Not long ago Senator Vest was die

reached a point where it was necessary
to quote q letter received many years
ago Without referring to the letter,
which he had not seen for number
of years. he dictated it from memory.
Members of his family were so inter

the letter and found that Mr.. Vest had
quoted it literally and without the

X RAY TO COLOR GEMS.
Expert Fuchs Says He Has Process

Expert Fuchs Says He Has Process
to Change Diamonds to Any Hue.
Discovery of a process by which a
diamond may be changed to any color
and this color made permanent by the
use of X rays was recently announced
by w. G. Fuchs, the Chicago Roentgen
ray expert, says the st. Louis Repub-
lie.
According to the experimenter, the
process and discovery are the result
of labors which have occupied his at
tention for more than five years. He
declares that the time will come when
the brown diamonds in the crown Of
King Edward, the Hope diamond and
other famous gems can be practically
duplicated.
The method consists in directing the
K rays through the substances from
which the color is to be obtained before
the rays touch and penetrate the dia=
mond. Various metals and chemicals
have been used to color the diamonds,
and it has boon found that by revers-
ing the method the color may also be
removed
