Alvin T. Hansen was elected vice

by the former Vice president moving

Preceding the picture show and the
election Of the vice president, Judge
Clifford q. Randall delivered his adj
dress which was the feature Of the
evening and which was listened to with
Irapt attention and eheered heartily at
It's close. Judge Randall said;
Ladies and Gentlemen:
There once lived near the river Indus
an ancient Persian named Al Hated.
AL Hated owned a large farm, with
orchards, grain fields and gardensj he
had money at interest; had a beautiful
wife and lovely children, and was q
wealthy and contented man.
But one day Buddhist, wise man
Of the East, came to visit Al Hated
and told him how this world was made.
AS he finished his story Of the making
Of the world, he said "if the melted
mass cooled very quickly it became
granite, il it cooled more slowly, it
became copper; If it cooled less quickly
silver; less quickly, gold, and after
gold, diamonds were made Said this
wise old Buddhist, "a diamond is q
CONCEALED drop of sunlight. - He also
said that diamond was the last and
highest Of Gods mineral creations, as
woman is the last and highest of
God s animal creations, and it has been
said that that is the reason why
woman and diamonds have such lik-
ing for each other.
And the old priest told of the won
derful value of diamonds, and that if
man owned mine of diamonds, he
could purchase kingdoms and place his
children upon thrones, through the in
fuence of his great wealth.
Al Hated heard about diamonds, and
went to bed poor man. But he could
not sleep and early in the morning
sought the priest and asked him to tell
where mine of diamonds could be
found. Said the priest, eff you will
find river that runs over white sands,
between high mountains, in those sands
you will find diamonds. -
So Al Hated sold his farm, collected
his money out at interest, left his
family in charge of neighbor, and
began his search for diamonds.
He went first to the mountains of
the moon, through Palestine and on in
to Europe. At last, his money gone and
in rags, poor and wretehed he stood
on the shore at Barcelona Spain, when
great tidal wave swept through the
pillars Of Hercules, and this poor, starv-
ing, afflicted seeker of wealth could
not resist the temptation to cast him
self into the incoming tide and he
sank beneath its foaming crest, never
to rise in this life again.
As Al Hated searched, the purchaser
of his farm one day led his camel out
in the garden TO drink, and as the ami
NAL put his nose in the shollow stream
to drink, Al Hafedis successor noticed
a curious fash of light from the white
sands of the stream. Reaching in he
pulled out a black stone containing a
strange eye Of light, but being igorant
placed this curious pebble on the man
tel and promptly forgot all about it.
But later the wise Buddhist returned
and pronounced this flashing stone to
be diamond. Upon examination Of
