MDNE.STRIKE
TURNS INTO
BAD FIGHT
Deputies Hurried to Scene of
Battle; Russian Agents
Responsible.

Wheeling, VIVA, Aug. 5.@Twenty
deputy sheriffs armed with riot guns
were rushed this morning to the Fort
Pitt coal mine, south of Bellaire,
Ohio, following reports of clash be-
tween striking miners and other work.
men. Reports were that rioting broke
out after the strikers refused to per-
init the other miners to work
According to reports received here,
the strikers, who are demanding a
six-hour day and large wage increase,
attacked non-striking workmen as
they were about to enter the mine
this, morning. ..-.s
The strikers are said~to have been
agitated by Bolshevist agents and to
have formed radical organization.
When the deputies arrived on the
scene, the strikers numbering more
than 200 men. retreated beyond gun
shot and appeared to be planning TO
make stand. Reports received here
shortly after noon said pitched bat
tie between the miners and deputies
was expected. Sheriff John Osborn of
Belmont county. who was on the
scene, said he had given his men or
ders to shoot to kill and not waste
any ammunition if attacked.
According to reports received here,
the strikers recently formed the Boil
shevist organization in defiance of the
United Mine workers and it has no
connection with the union. The radi-
Gals represent nearly two-thirds of the
men employed at the mine. Russian
agents, it is said, have been working
among miners of the Bellaire district
for some time.

Sharpening Plo~ Points

There is no excuse for a farmer u.s.
ling a dull plow point. It is not diff
ficult work to sharpen one, and my
farmer with a practical knowledge Of
how a plow point should be- shaped
to run well and with little know-
ledge Of steel, can easily sharpen a
pillow point.
It is, Of course, very difficult to
teach man on paper how to sharpen
ia plow point. However, few suggUs-
tions may be Of some little assistance
to beginners in the work. A round
faced hammer weighing about three
pounds should be used. The lower
side Of the hot plow point should be
held flat on the anvil while the edge
Of the share is drawn out by hammer
ing on the upper side. When drawing
out the edge of the share be careful
not to bend the point itself too far
ito land". When this happens, rest
the edge Of the share on hardwood
block while driving back the point.
Always be careful not to overhead
the street point. Steel is much more
easily burned than iron, and the be-
ginner is almost sure to overhead, if
he does not burn, the first plow share
that he attempts to sharpen. Heat to
a light red or yellow color before at
tempting to sharpen. It will be neces-
sary to heat the share two or three
times before it is sharpened as it
should be. When it has been sharp
ened, it is a good plan to heat it again
and hammer lightly before chilling.
Plain water is entirely satisfactory
for re-tempering the sharpened share.
When the share has been heated the
last time and hammered lightly to
lessen the liability Of cracking, IL
should be dipped into water and
moved up and down for q few sec.

DIAMOND BASIS" NOW

New ork-Diamonds that sold at
100 carat five years ago are selling
now at $500.
Gems are moving from market TO
market in a volume never before
known, and the demand is increasing
daily.
People that never before indulged
i'm such jewelry are buying with an
eagerness that mounting prices do not
even dampen.. Countries that were
hardest hit by the war are taking
their places in the forefront of the
gem buyers. Countries that have been
traditibnally indifferent are now en-
thusiastic purchasers.
. Authority for these statements is
found among the prinsipal importers
Of New York.
Until six months ago the United
States was buying more precious
stones than all the rest Of the world
put together.
It was taking 65 per cent Of the
cut and uncut gems on the market.
Now, while the percentage lis still
more than half of its falling and an
other year may see the situation en-
tirely changed.
Gerrsany, Russia and Turkey are
buying because currency in those
andshas deprecated so heavily and
because securities have suffered in
keeping with currency.
Diamonds are the one stable inter-
national medium" the trade explains.
Their value fluctuates, but it fluctu-
ates throughout the world, not in this
nation or that alone. A diamond is
worth as much in Germany as in the
United States; as much in Russia az in
France; as much in Turkey as in Eng
land. Value may shift, but formany
years now the shift has all ben up
ward"
So in Germany, Russia, and Turkey
thousands are gathering together
i
what the war has left them and are
putting it into diamonds. It does not
yiel dan income in this form, but it
does hold its initial value, and when
an opportunity comes for emigration
wealth may e taken along in its least
bulk and with the greatest assurance

Better Country Schools
A Fundamental Need

If one has children, it goes with
out saying there is nothing more inn
portant for them than nearness to a
thoroughly efficient school. Your
child has only one life to live. What q
tragedy if he should go through life
with only his physical nature de-
veleped but not his more godlike mind
and soul!
Equally important is good school
to the community as whole. Other
people Judge a neighborhood by the
character Of school it supports. More
over, the presence of good school
gives the citizens greater pride in
themselves and greater confidence in
themselves. Taxes spent for the main
tenance Of good school constitute
not an expenditure but an investment.
How often does one find in special
tax districts some farm whose owner
violently opposed the extra school
tax, but whose land almost doubled
in value because Of the better school
the tax brought There is hardly q
5 community in the South where the
school is poor that has not lost some
good citizen for this reason, Similarly,
there is hardly community with
good school in which that school has

zens to the neighborhood. =.
To farmers as a class also, good
country schools are of the highest
