How Did He. Find II Out?

The jeweler, at closing time, was
putting his diamonds in a huge
safe.
"But why do you brother to do
that when two watchmen walk the
shop all night?"
"On account of fire." the jsweler
replied. Diamonds are nothing
but coal-carbon-they burn beau
tifully. Their hardness makes us
think them indestructible, but as
a matter cf fact a fire of diamonds
would be the briskest, prettiest
thing in the world.
"Put a handful of diamonds on a
plate and set a light to them. they
will burn with g hard gemlike fame
until nothing is left. There will be
no smoke, no SCOT, and at the end
the plate will be as clean as
though just washed not the
slightest particle even Of ash will
remain, "-Minneapolis Journal.

grain gland has been included In
the farm unit wherever practicable,

If you have two dollars and you
need a dollars worth Of food and a
dollars worth Of cloth, you will buy
both the food and the cloth, but if
you need dollars worth of food
and a dollars worth Of cloth and
have but one dollar you will buy
the food, and let the cloth go over
till another time. The whole world
is economizing, and is buying the
food, but is cutting down on the
cloth. Therefore, food products,
which we Of the South do not raise
but buy, are advancing in price. If
we made less OF the cotton and more
Of the food, we would be that much
better off.
