EMERALDs ARE THE MOST
COSTLY or ALL GEMS

In the mind OF the average person
the diamond is regarded as the most
valuable of precious stones, but as a
matter of fact large fiawless emeralds
are a great deal more costly than
diamonds of similar size. jewelers.
say that one of the considerations
that makes these rich green gems SO
high-priced, il perfect, is that they
are seldom free from flaws.
According to the Smithsonian Insti-
tute good diamonds are worth from
$3.50 to $500 per carat, according to
purity and size, whereas an emerald
varies from $3.50 to $500, the price in
creasing rapidly with size.
Fawless emeralds weighing more
than four carats are said to be prac-
tically priceless, but diamonds of that
size are worth only $1,000 to $4,000.
Another factor that is said to CON
tribute to the high price of emeralds
is that they are hard to initiate and,
unlike some green stones, retain their
color when heated and when subject
ed to artificial light. 1t is claimed
that this latter fact makes them par
ticulariy desirable for evening Year.

ALLlGAToRs BEING USED
TO CLEAN OUT SEWERS

The alligator has graduated into the
useful class. At least his sluggish en-
ergy has been usefully directed.
Recently a 600-foot Pinch sewer
pipe in Fort Meade, Florida, became
clogged with sand and dirt. Accord
ing to the Engineering Record several
sewercleaning devices were used and
about $1,000 vas spent, but to no
avail.
The pipe remained clogged as be-
fore. At this ju%ncture the superin-
tendent of water and sewers secured
a small alligator, to which he fast
ened a rope. The gator was lowered
into the pipe. After a struggle in tho
unsavory environment he reached the
next manhole, dragging the rope af-
ter him. When he had travelled one
section Of the pipe, the rope. to the
middle OF which knotted chains yer
attached, was pulled back and forth
and the Instructions removed.
Following this success, other ALI
gators were used, until at the pres
ent time ten are employed for clean
ing sewers. They are doing what
skilled men with modern apparatus
have failed to do.

A.O.U.W. Grand Lodge
Coming Here ii May

The grand lodges Of the Ancient
0rder of United Workmen and OF the
Degree Of Honor will convene in this
city during the week commencing
Sunday, May 20. There will be q
three days session.
A year ago the grand lodge met in
Rapid City. The WATERFOWL repre-
sentative at this convention was the
late Alex Dawson, who, on behalf of
the local lodge and of the city OF Wa
tertownS extended an invitation to
hold the next grand lodge sessions in
the lake city. The invitation was ac-
eepted. and Mr.. Dawson pledged the
wen known hospitality of the city for
the ~edlhcation and delectation of the
members of the grand lodge and its
auxiliary body. the Degree of Honor.
The members of the Watertown
lodges, and the Chamber of Commerce
aAd the citizens generally are going
to fulfill in every respect the state
nents made by the late Mr.. Dawson.
The local lodge held it's meeting
Tuesday night, with Master Workman
4. q. Eddy presiding, and perfected
preliminary arrangements for the re-
ception and such other formalities
ana informalities as a ~nourishing and
snterprising and hospitable city us
ually extends upon such occasions.
The grand lodge work will be done,
Tor the most part, during the day time
of the three days meeting, leaving
the evenings largely to s%ociability.
One of the features will be a banquet
the closing night.
: The attendance of late years at
these grand lodge meetings approx
mates one thousand, it is said. 1t is
thought that at least the usual quota
will be present in Watertown, if not
more than the usual attendance, for
the fame of the lake city as a summer
resort has been fast spreading within
the past few years. While the grand
lodge members don't attend these an
nual meetings for mere pleasure, the
social features are by no mean neg
1ected during the sessions.

d, Journal
Discusses The Survey

The plan developed at WatertOwn
for securing an educational survey
merits the most careful consideration
at the hands OF the educators OF the
state and. more especially. Of the leg
islature. The expending of $500 90
without knowing exactly what one is
going to get Gems something of AL
lottery. However when we consider
that the schools OF the state are cost
ing u approximately 500, 100000 "a
year a sensible man could hardly
question the advisability~ of spending |
a few dollars to determine whether
or not we are spending that $700, 900
judiciously. The main difficulty with
this survey being OF any value at all
is the fact that this enormous out
lay for u schools is not spent by one
corporation, or in any place direct
ed by a central head, but it is spent
by more than three thousand corpora
lions. Apparently then, if the great
est good is to be derived from this
survey, provided it is made. and pro-
gided it contains recommendations ap-i
plicable to all OF the schools, the re-
port must convince some thousands
of boards Of it's value as a remedy for
the necessity OF spending SO much
money, or what would be better, as a
means Of accomplishing more efficient
work for the money which we do
spend. 1t is possible that this re-
port, when it is made, will include
some workable plan by which ade-I
quate methods OF administration may
be accomplished so that only a few
school boards will do the work of the
many now existent. There is no
question at all but that we would
get on with less money for our schools
or make our schools more eficient
with the present expenditure and if
q few thousand dollars spent in al
school survey will do the business,
let us have it.-South Dakota Edu-
Gator.

will be again offered for the high

schools from BBiia TX Hills. and the

the best high school athletes in South
Dakota will appear in the finals to
try their strength against each other.
Last years meet, which was highly
successful, Interested the high schools
in the state and a friendly but none.
the less keen rivalry between the
various sections of South Dakota has
developed and contributes to the in
terest of the annual athletic event.
The meet will be a standard one in
SO far as the events are concerned.
Two events, however, will be omitted,
the hammer throw and the two-mfle
run. A certain element of danger
attaches to the hammer throw when
a large number or high school athletes
compete and a two-mile run calls for
a stamina seldom shown by high
school boys. Otherwise the events
will be the same as those of standard
track meets.
Plans are being made by the ath-
letic department and the student as.
sociatfon for the entertainment of the
high school visitors and the athletic
department Will mail invitations to
the high schools in teh next fortnight.
