DIAMOND FIELD PROVES RICH
Southwest Africa Properties Worth
$5o,000,0O0 to Germ any.

Germany has a better investment in
her southwest African diamond fields
than has been supposed. thinks DR..
Paul Rohrbach. who has gone over the
ground thoroughly. DR.. Rohrbach says
that eighteen months ago estimates OF
from $25 100000 to $50,OOO.OOO as the
value Of the Luderitz bay properties
were dismissed as unduly optimistic.
These properties include all the claims
between the twenty-sixth degree of
south latitude and the Orange river.
One of these claims. which has an area
of 1880 acres and is in the neighbor-
hood of Luderitz bay, will, he says,
yield this year diamonds to market
value of SO 100000.
This property has been worked SUI
pertlcially by the same company for
two years. and the results already OBJ
tanned and an investigation at deeper
levels fully justify this forecast. Other
claims have not been worked so well
or so long as this, but from his person
al experience DR.. Rohrbach thinks
they, too, will pan out much better
than was expected.

WHY Not Pass the Plate?

They ought to pass the plate at
church weddings. 1t comes natural to
do It in church. and to do so would
add a pretty and useful employment to
the duties of the ushers, who always
have little spare time before the
bride arrives. And. really, getting
married is more expensive than ever,
and though wedding presents are ex-
cellent in their way, what the young
people usually need the most is cash.
Instead of the list OF gifts which the
newspapers sometimes print we should
read, "The collection yielded $4,000
OOO" That would be nice. 1t is much
easier TO store and care for money
than plate and glass; And money al
ways fits and there is no such thing as
an embarrassing duplication Of dollars.

Recommended Own Portrait.

A Princeton man now located in New
York relates the following anecdOte of
a chance meeting with DR.. Wilson:
Going into Scribner's bookstore one
morning this gentleman saw smooth
faced, middle aged man in glasses and
without a hat and naturally took him
for q clerk. Woodrow Wilson had just
been elected president of Princeton,
and the former student wanted to find
out something about him. OF the sup
posed clerk he asked for some book by
Wilson containing his portrait.
There is no portrait of Wilson in
any of his books" replied he of the
glasses, but if you will look in
here he named certain magazine,
giving the month and year-"you will
find Il fair likeness Of him"
Then. picking up hat, he bowed and
went out.
do you know who that was" asked
the myStified Princeton man Of real
clerk this time,
Professor Woodrow Wilson," was
the answer.
Here is one of DR.. Wilson's notices

"The thing that keeps water In
stocks is secrecy. If this board were
taken out of the sluiceway the water

In all his political and historical
writings Dr. Wilson shows himself
fundamental Democrat with a pecul-

of the founders and builders Of the
nation. He is also a lecturer who
speaks before popular assemblies as
well as before educational and scien-

CHANGE QUALITY
RATINGS
Growers Urged to Attend
Florida Meeting Of Ameri-
can Pathological Society

Drawing attention to the meeting
of the American Pathological society
at Tampa, Fla, next January, the
National Apple Show Bulletin will
say in its forthcoming issue that this
convention affords excellent oppor-
tunities for the revision of the quail
ity ratings on western apples OF
standard commercial varieties, which
are not recognized as they should be
by that organization.
After urging growers in Washing
ton, Oregon. California, Idaho, Mon
tana, Utah, Colorado and New Mex
leo to send representatives to the
meeting to insist upon their rights,
the Bulletin adds:
The American Pathological socie-
ty is recognized as the authority on
fruits and its quality ratings, rules
and advisory resolutions carry much
weight. 1t has been several years
since the quality ratings on apples
were revised and as a result the COM
mercial values of some of the best
varieties grown in the box apple
states are improperly rated.
"A delegation should go from this
country and the representatives
ought to be provided with boxes of
apples containing all the varieties
that are not correctly rated The
case would be 100 per cent stronger
if the apples are exhibited at the time
the speakers present their argument
in favor of changes"
Rem H. Rice, secretary and man
ager of the National Apple Show, has
arranged for a convention of growers
and handlers in Spokane the week
of November IA. when plans will be
discussed to send representatives to
Florida from every state in the box
apple belt, where new varieties have
been perfected since the last meet
ing of the society
