Have you ever heard how diamonds
were discovered in South Africa?
And did you know that Cecil Rhodes
was the man who made the discovery?
But here is the story:
A German trader in skins and os-
trich feathers from the interior, with
Pietermaritzburg as his frontier sta
ton. drove into Cape Town one aft
ernoon. He had been-twe months
bl inging in his wagons, each drawn
by 10 long-horned oxen, from the
frontier trading post named.
This trader, among other curious
things, had a dozen or so very brill
liant pebbles, which he was showing to
his friends.
"Fine specimens Of globular
quartz" said a doctor newly arrived,
who had just enough of a smattering
Of geology to know nothing at all
about it.
"Would you mind giving me one or
two of those pebbles? ?" said a tall,
dark-skinned, slender young man. "Or
will buy them from you at whatever
| you may consider them worth. I
have no such stones in my collection
at home"
"My dear sir" the other replied,
with the heartiness of a dweller or
the veldt, "you are welcome to a cou-
pie. Pick out any two you may
fancy"
The dark young man selected two
about as large az a medium sized
hickory nut, thanked the trader and
Immediately sent the "globulai
quartz" off to Amsterdam. AS hi

that the stones were diamonds of in

LOCAL MAN
TELLS OF TRIP
Experiences on Eight Thousand
Mile Journey Related by
T. A. Hauge

After planning and making prepar-
ations, which consumed several happy
weeks, we finally got started for an
extended tour, leaving Glasgow on
June IL. Our means of locomotion
was an Overland Model 86) with a
Shattuck Camping Trailer, carrying
a complete camping outfit. 1t was
the unanimous vote of all the party,
consisting of myself and wife with
the two kiddies, that we do all the
cooking and camping possible, and so
we only put up at hotels for Is nights
during the whole trip of nearly 5000
miles. For the first two weeks east
from Glasgow, during which time we
covered approximately 400 miles, we
plowed through almost a continuous
mud-hole. However, we did not mind
this as we were in but three small
rains during the remainder of the
trip, and we opined that it was better
to encounter mud in country that was
more or less familiar and to have it
all at once. than to be detained at in
tervals later on.
With absolutely no hurry we pro-
ceeded throughout our whole trip by
easy stages, camping in any likely
spot that suited our fancy, whether
it be on somebody's front porch or
along a wayside stream or lake. Un-
like the tourist on the train, we
stopped and fished or boated accord
ing to no time schedule but our de-
sires.
The few minor accidents which be-
fell US were soon changed to laugh
able stories or forgotten. On one &C.
c%asion, after hitting a clip of about
25 miles per hour for several min
utes, | looked back, to discover the
trailer about a half mile in the rear,
1t had become disconnected and the
tongue had driven itself into the
freshly graded road about four feet

l dug it out with a spade. Unfortu'
nately, l procured no picture OF this

AUTO DEALERS
AT MEETING
Overland Agents Visit Mammoth
Plant and Contract for
Years Output

The big Overland dealers conven-
ton at Toledo proved the biggest
convention ever held. The entire 1917
line of Overland and WHY'S Knight
cars was contracted for by the Over
land dealers and distributors during
this meeting.
Besides it's business aspects a num-
Der of features that were unequalled
in the annals of motor history con-
tributed to the entertainment of the
5000 delegates.
Almost every group of dealers bore
some insignia or brought along a mas
cot.
The Texas, Montanans and Dako-
tans came as cowboys and rangers,
nearly all costumed in cowboy outfits
and carrying huge Colt 44's. The
Oklahoma delegation brought genu-
inc Cheyenne Indians from Uncle
Sans reservation at Watonga.
Arkansas dealers had a black razor
back hog which they carried about
in a Pullman hammock.
The Texas contingent presented Mr.
John N. WHY'S, president of The Viii.
lys-Overland company, with a chair
made out of Texas steer horns; d
cotton automobile and a live coyote
A number of the Texans had never
been out of their own state until thi:
visit, the snowfall which greeted
them upon their arrival in Toledo be
ing a distinct novelty. Seventy-foul
per cent of the Southerners had nevel
been north of the Mason-Dixon linz
before; II per cent Of the Pacif'
Coast men had never been east of tn
Rockies, while more than half of tn
New England delegation had neve
been further west than New Yorl
City.
All Rhe visitors were housed il
Pullmans in the extensive Overlan'
yards, as many as Is to so cars bein,
taken care of in one day; the visitor
were fed in the dining rooms and en-
tertained in the immense auditorium
of the new administration building.

Johnny b, who has seen eight
summers go by, not very long ago de-
veloped a fondness for playing
"hokey" from school. After two or
three offenses of this kind he was
taken to task by his teacher.
%"Johnny," she said, "the next time
you are absent l want you to bring
me an excuse from your father tell
ing me why you were no here"

a worn m~acadamized road, badly need

Suspended above our trailer, we car
ried a banner, advertising Montana

ried literature descriptive of this sec
ton, but we would have had ample
storage room for sufficient literature
only in a baggage ear. At every stop
! was eagerly requested for literature
and most of the time l had none. The
next time we go-for we are going
again-I will forestall any possibility
of such shortage by having patches
of literature shipped ahead in relays.
Nothing surprised me more than to
find the large number of people in the
II states we passed through that were
looking toward the Treasure State.
