STONE HAS FEW suPERIoRs
Ambsr-coIored Diamond, Owned BY
EneiIshman. One Of the Largest
In the World.

Capt. @. r. Lucas, Royal Lancaster
regiment, who recently received the
distinguished service order from King
George, Is the owner Of famous am
Der diamond. The discovery Of the
stone, which was practically as large
as the Koh-i-Noor when 1t was pre-
sented to Queen Victoria In 1850. was
one of the romances OF the diamond
6elds of South Africa. Captain Lucas
and his partner had been working a
claim at Droodgeveld, so miles from
Kimberley. for seven months with In
different results. and had decided to
give 1t another week.
On the Friday kaf1r boy said :
BOSS. come here" and showed him
an amber-colored stone as big as an
English penny. which weighed 1881
carats. The partners brought the
stone to England, but the diamond
merchants said 1t was too big for them
to handle and they did not know how
It would cut.
The cutting took three months, cost
EGO, and reduced the weight of the
stone to 60 carats. Since the war
broke out the diamond has been in the
keeping of the National Bank OF
South Africa in London.

Members of boys and girls pig

purebred pigs and improved methods
of management in many parts of the
South, where the swine industry is
making unprecedented progress.
This is true in a marked degree in
Georgia. Among the pig clubs, the
total sum represented by the hogs and
pigs in the hands Of the pig club mem
bers of the state last year was almost
a half million dollars. The increase in
the number. of purebred pigs raised

CHECKING Names Of Soldier Survivors. |
fectly legible, but the signature will
prove to be one of those nonforgeable
iumbles of p,n strokes which are the
delight and pet hobby of the writer
and the despair of every hopeful
reader.
Silent letters in names must always
be taken into consideration. The name
of Hlynack is a good example where
the silent letter is the key letter for
searching, but at the same time it is
particularly dead in pronunciation.
This name is pronounced Lynack, and
in the hurry of writing, often names
are misspelled, when on the surface
they appear very simple and correct.
Foreign names ara often typed in
correctly because the soldier at the
time of making application for insur-
ance may have been unfamiliar with
English and made a mistake IN re-
peating the spelling to the army or
navy clerk This is great source OF
worry to searchers.
Names Spelled Many Ways.
Frequently one mans name may be
spelled in four or five ways. If rela
. tives parents or someone interested
in his welfare inquiries about his insur
ance, each will spell it in their way
Girl searchers must determine whic]
is the correct spelling and then ver
ify it from the mans original sigma
t ture.
Q A clever piece of deduction was tha
in the case of Andrew Good of Mort
Y Dakota. His name could not be fOnn
