Olivia, Minn.-The people of Birch
Cooley laid to rest in the Morton GENE
terry last week, Patrick C. Cronin, one
of their oldest and most beloved citi-
zens. The funeral was one of the
largest ever held from St. Patrick's
church, and was an evidence of the
esteem in which the departed had
been held. He was born in County
Kerry, Ireland and was in his 18th
year at the time of his death. He
came to America when mere child
and after living in Illinois a few years,
came to Minnesota in 1856. Later he
moved to Wisconsin where he was
married in 1864 and in 1866 he re-
turned to Minnesota. His good wife
preceded him to the grave in 1911.

tended by Miss Mary Lynch, sister,
and the groom was supported by his
brother, William Cannon. The bride
is the daughter of Mrs. T. Lynch, of
St. Paul, and while a stranger to most
of our readers, those who have had
the privilege of her acquaintance are
unanimous in saying that she is a
highly cultured young lady; one who
is loved and esteemed by all. The
groom is the eldest son of Mr.. and

Wabasha, Minn.-Hugh Michigan,
ST., of lakewood, died at St.. Elizabeth
hospital in this city, Thursday night,
August 20. Mr.. McGuigan had been
in failing health for two years. Fol-
lowing an operation at the local hos.
pital, May 10, he appeared to improve,
returning to his home in June. The
change for the better was only tenn
porary, however, and in July he once
more entered the hospital. From
that time on his condition grew grad
ually worse and death ensued from q
malignant malady. He was born at
Schullsburg, Wisconsin, October a.,
1853, and came to Minnesota as a
child, in 1856. Upon reaching man
hood Mr.. Michigan purchased farm
two miles north of Millville which is
the present family home. His mar
riage to Miss Theresa Leonard took
place at West Albany, February %,
1881. The widow and the following
sons and daughters survive: William

BIGGEST GEM
IN THE WORLD
Largest Diamond on Exhibition in
Tower of London Where Many
Interesting Relics Are
Shown,
rBy United Press.l

LONDON, May %. tBy mail.)-
Saw the biggest diamond in the world
today, diamond so valuable it never
has been valued. We went to the
Tower of London.
First however, we saw lot OF
other things: the tablet marking the
spot where the buried bones OF Ed
ward v and his brother were dug up,
the scaffold site where Queen Anne
Boleyn, Queen Katherine Howard
and Lady Jane Grey were executed;
chained to the floor; the cell where
Sir Walter Raleigh was imprisoned
for years and the wall ON which he
was permitted to walk; King Henry
Wits own Bessemer union suit, the
cell in which Thomas More was kept
until taken out on the adjoining hill
to be executed. And lot Of other
little odds and ends like that

box wasn't much brighter than other
rooms of the dismal castle, or
wouldn't have been had not the great,
glittering collection Of precious met
al and stones in the center reflected
back the electric lights turned on it.
In contrast to the thick oak doors and
iron bars in the other rooms and
cells this room is guarded by a mod
ern steel door. 1t is much like the
big steel doors that guard safety
vaults in most cities, though I've
seen many that look more formidable,
from a burglars standpoint.
We raised the question of safety,
but our guide was certain nobody
ever could break in. 1t looked to me
as though all a clever burglar needed
to debut, of course, there's no use
thinking about such things: still, /
should think, if one really wanted
however, it's not good subject to
pursue.
There was the big table with the
crown jewels displayed in an amazing
pyramid, of yellow gold and shining
jewels. The worlds greatest diam
ond was on the end of an ornate
gold stick, the royal sceptre 1t is
the larger Of the two stars of Africa,
being 5161z carats. That ought to
impress anybody whoever bought an
engagement ring; ought to impress
him more than a sight of the stone
would, for to tell the honest truth /
couldn't call the thing beautiful.
On the table also were the imperial
state crown worn by Queen Victoria.
King Edward VII and the present
king at the time of their several in
augurations. There was also the
blazing bcdiamonded crown which
Field Marshal Lord French bore into
the house of lords and out again

THREE MILLION THERE, SOON.

General Crowder is the man of all official
dom who should know best what the size OF our
army will be at certain time. There will be
confidence in his estimate of three million men
by August first. With our growing transport
service, our various war manufactures put IN
working order and our training programs co-or-
dinating here and behind the lines, the outlook
for making these men into army for war
service this year is bright. Probably all we
are expected to do by our allies is to help stop
German offensives this summer. There are
still strong bodies of German troops in reserve
and Germany shows no signs of Withholding
them from her drive to Paris and the coast But
by another year the army promised us for this
summer will be earnest of great attacking
force in France in 1919; in France and else
where if there be need. All this is conditional
on the surety that there is no weakening OF Ell
fort in backing our troops and carrying on the
nation IS work The bigger and better the
army, the more hard work for every one OF us
not in it.
