FRIDAY, JULY 1, 1913.
The Fourth.

For this year is passed and
gone. Everytown in the county
had a picnic of some sort of its
own. So there was not an extra
large crowd anywhere. In JAS

Maple Park both had picnics,
Fireworks and Paper balloons.
The Park having the largest
crowd, owing We suppose to it
being in town and could be reach
ed without the long dusty drive,
and then the zoe fare out to the
Lake and back cut a good deal of
ice. Ireland, Dwell. Ferdinand,
and Dubois all celebrated. About
100 people from Jasper went with
the band to West Baden. and a
few to Evansville.

whether the town shah be incor-

scented, and the boarfordered an
election to be held on Tuesday,

useless expense. Out of Is diff
ferent voters we failed to- sfind
one who was going to vote in ia

acknowledged that he signed the
petition but declared he would
not vote for it and said he had
as good a right to change his
mind as the Board did on the
Main street paving question.
However, let it carry and we
nominate dad Jones" for may

where WE FIND EMERALDS
Famous Muzo Mines In the Republic
Of Colombia Produce Finest
Gems.

The finest emeralds are found in
the Republic of Colombia, at the IA
nous Muzo mines in the department
Of Boyaca. seventy miles north by
west Of Rogota, which have been
worked since 1858. The Spaniards
mined there in the middle Of the six
teenth century, but withdrew after
a time. owing to continual fighting
with the Indians; with the result that
for awhile the locality Of the mines
was unknown. They are now worked
by an English company, in partner
ship with the government. The emer-
aids at Muio occur in calcite veins
running Though black carboniferous
limestone In all directions and at all
angles. Often the limestone is COW
cred with earth, in which bushes and
trees are growing; this has to be
cleared before prospecting is possible.
When calcite veins have been located
the side Of the hill is dug away in
banks" usually by Indians, whose
chief tool Is a steel bar forged to q
point at one end. The pieces Of cal
cite vein are examined specifically
for emeralds, and are then set aside
for conveyance to the sorting-shed
where a detailed examination Is made
and the emeralds are divided into fit
teen grades according to color, trans
parency, size, freedom from flaws, an(

luxury Of a protective tariff. But no
such consideration had any weight
with those who were sure that the
British government was about to take
over the Dingley bill. Our instruct.

thlng was true-and, of course, that
made it true.
We have had a good deal Of light on

made a speech in which he advocated
a return to protectionism. The result

party was wondering how long 1t
would be able to maintain its hold on
the government. Important by-elec
tons had gone against 1t. There was
strong opposition to the home rule
bill. Lloyd-Georgeism had angered and
disguised many. At this juncture the
Tory leader came to the rescue with
his plea for pretectionism. 1t split

to a defeated and routed army. Laws

Even now the party Is practically
without a leader, as it is without g

In 1907, the steel trust said In sub

A Pekin duck]ing weighs about two

take on weight as follows: Three to

weeks, four to four and one-half
pounds; and at ten weeks, Ave and
one.half to six pounds. Ducklings
should be marketed at from nine to
twelve weeks Of age. After that they
take on weight slowly. and it is not
profitable to keep them longer than
twelve weeks.
Geese grow about az rapidly as
