n. E. A. STAFF Correspondent With
SmithsOnian-UniversaI African
Expedition
UPINFGTON, South Africa. Dec. TO-
'Scotty" Smith has just died here-a
name more widely known in South
Africa than any save that Of the great
Cecil Rhodes himself
/ With him died the last relic Of thrill
[ ing, melodramlic' frontier days
/ And ne carried TO the grave the Sc
cret Of the lost diamond mines Of the
/ Kalahari district" He died stubbornly
refusing to reveal the site Of untold
wealth.
Notorious and picturesque-One
desperate, fugitive, diamond adventuref
and cattle runner-ScOtty Smith was q
sort Of a combination of American
Jesse James, Australian Stingaree ana
Mexican Villa.
For a quarter Of century ne kept
the Boer farmers in a constant reign
Of terror, welded rule Of fear among
natives and kept the government out OF
breath trying to capture him.
Coming with the Smithsonian-Uni-
versal African Expedition to Upington,
1GO miles north Of Cape Town, on the
edge Of the Kalahari desert-a vast.
waterless tract extending a thousand
miles further nOrth-We heard about
Scolty Smith on every hand.
Unluckily he died a few days before
we reached UpingtOn lie was % years
old and for 20 years had lived a peace
ful, blameless life on a small farm
here. He had wiped out old scores by
notable work in the British Intelligence
Service during the Boer war.
His real name was George st. Ledger
LcnnOX, and he is said TO have come
from a ducal family Of England. When
he came here about the time of the
Kimberley diamond rush in 1870, he
speedily got into trouble and gave the
name Of "Scotty Smith," which has
ciung TO him ever since
In the SOS he was convicted OF gun
running in the Basuto War, and once
he was tried for murder at Kimberley.
But he always escaped.
While hiding from his pUrsuers in the
Kalahari, the outlaw is said TO have
discovered a rich diamond field. But
he steadfastly refused TO tell its lOca-
tiOn-prefering TO forfeit wealth rather
than share it with the government!
Scotty rallied against the law-which
was, and still is, that 60 per cent. OF
newly discovered diamond fields auto
becomes the property Of the
government.
He either had to take 40 per cent or
For he couldn't work the
mines and market the diamonds without
governmental consent So he chose
nothing and he lived the rest of his
lift in veritable poverty.

BUY LIBERTY BONDS
NOW ON THE MARKET

Many Of the conservative thinkers
of the land are investing in the va
rdous issues Of Liberty Bonds at
market prices, believing the general
market status for these securities is
more favorable than heretofore.
They are buying these bonds regard
less of what predictions have been
made of firming prices, acting on the
principle that there is nothing on the
surface at this time to indicate there
will be any material recession of
values. This support is calculated to
have a stabilizing influence I'm the
market for government securities.
Experts in the investment field
point out that it was only natural
that Liberty Bonds should recede
from their par values for a time,
that the overwhelming purchases by
the people at large, with consequent
reduction Of holdings by persons who
invested beyond convenience of hold
ing, naturally gave greater weight to
supply than to demand.
Tha THE bulk Of "overpurchases"
has been cared for is the belief Of
market students, and the pressure
from promiscuous and widespread
offerings is figured to have passed
its peak. Some of the Eastern banks
report they have been handling Lib.
erty Bonds on a large scale with the
result that the purchases have been
measuring up to the offerings|in
some instances actually exceeding
the offerings. This class Of trading
has not, it is said, caused the banks
any Inconvenience in the matter of
funds.

which cannot be measured.

! 1t is also interesting to note that
this progress has been made since
July list, with an actual decrease in
the amount of expenditure in carry
ing on the campaign.
1t is with abundant assurance,
therefore, and absolute conviction as
to the value of this movement and
the readiness of the people of the
country to respond to it, that we
look forward to the work for 1920
plans for which are now practically
completed.
Owing to the necessity Of a proper
proportion between. sales ard expsn-
ditures the separate state o,ganizq-
lions in the various states will be dis
continued, and the work win all be
centered in the district headquarters
which will be continued practically as
at present, as a Department of the
Federal Reserve Bank, in each dis
trict.
In our Eighth Federal Reserve
District an aggressive campaign in
all branches Of the work will be car
ried forward throughout the district.
Thrift and Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates of the
new series of 1920 will be on sale
through postoffices, banks, mercan-
tile houses and other sales agencies,
the same as they are at the present
time and on the same terms, and this
part of the work will be pushed ener-
getically.
A great deal Of attention will con-
tinue to be given to the work in the
schools through savings societies
and thrift education, and an extern
sive publicity campaign will be car
ried on to support the activities Of
the organization, and to continue to
educate our people in the exceptional
merit and value Of the governments

point of investment, convenience and

It is a great satisfaction to be
able to report these constantly in
creasing results to those who have

COLORADO WHEAT MAP
Four Counties Grew More Wheat
Than Whole State in 1909.

The state immigration depart
ment has had prepared a Wheat
Map of Colorado for 1919" the first
of the kind ever made for the state.
1t shows the distribution of both
winter and spring wheat in the
state. as indicated by the reports
of county assessors. A glance at
the map will show where wheat is
grown in Colorado and how exten-
sively
A small symbol is used to repre-
sent each 1000 acres of wheat
grown, and the counties in the
northeast corner of the state are
so crowded with these symbols
that there is hardly room left for
the names of the counties
Four counties in this district
have grown more wheat this year
than was grown in the entire
state in 1909 and seven counties
here have about two.thirds of the
states acreage

$4,000 FARMS IN STATE.
Is Four Thousand in Excess of Last
Years Average.

Reports of county assessors to
the state immigration department
now about finished. show approx
imately $4,000 farms in Colorado
this year, as compared with A.
l70. This is regarded as the best
index of the completeness of asses
ors' reports, indicating that they
are approximately 80 per cent
complete. This is regarded as an
especially good showing on the
part of county assessors, especial
ly in the more important agricul-
tural districts of the state.
In many counties it is believed
that the reports are from IS to SO
per cent complete and this list i'm
cludes some of the most important
agricultural counties in the state,
such as Weld, Morgan, Logan, Phil
lips and Adams.
There are few counties where
assessors and their deputies en-
countered special difficulties in
their work and did not obtain
good reports, one or two counties
being no more than so per cent
complete.
In every county in the state
where agriculture is being followed
report has been made and the
results obtained this year are such
as to indicate that state report
covering fully 95 per cent of the
cultivated area OF Colorado may
be expected next year.
