PUT PROFITS INTO DIAMONDS
Many Reasons Why Increased Demand
for Precious Stones Invariably
Follows Devastating War.

The waste Of war, by which many
suffer and few reap returns, is always
accompanied by demand for precious
stones. This war has differed only
from other wars in that the demand
was greater. Profiteers in the allied
countries have bought for the purpose
OF display. Profiteers in enemy coun-
tries want diamonds, because they sup
ply the safest way Of concealing new
" acquired wealth. AS the diamond
industry is the closest corporation in
the world. values are not likely to de
preciate, unless all the profiteers want
to change their investments at the
same time. At the present moment
the price is higher than it has ever
been.
The diamond dealer is Of all trad
ers the least hampered by Office re-
strictions. He frequently carries the
bulk Of his stock in trade about with
him in his waistcoat pocket. The pub
lie street is, as often as not, his only
market place. In Haton gardens,
which is the chief center of the dia-
mond industry in London, may fire.
quently be seen little groups of two,
three, or more well-dressed men, peer
ing intently through little monocle
lenses at gems worth many thousands
of dollars.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
"A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
80 many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle Of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DIR. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; Also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.

Young Man Willing to Sacrifice Him

Father-in-Law

The young man had asked him for
the hand of his daughter, and pang
wrung the fatherly heart Of Mr.. Jones

Of the bitterness of parting with his
well-beloved child.

1T is only natural and right that when
the young birds have become old

BIC POTATO YIELD.
Western Canada Man Raised GOO
Bushels on Two Acres.
He Thinks He Did Pretty Well, but
There Were Even Larger Crops
in the Neighborhood-Live
Stock Men Prosper.

AS by-product the yield of potatoes
on the farm of Ben Pawson of Coal
dale, Alberta, was somewhat Of a pay
ling proposition. Coaldale is in the
Medicine Hat district Of Alberta. Med
licine Hat is place, pictured in the
mind Of many Americans, where the
weather man holds high carnival. and
when he wants to put little life or
spirit into the people just moves the
mercury down a few notches. The
rascal has thus given Medicine Hat
rather unenviable place on the map.
But 1t isn't half as bad as 1t Is pic
tured. Anyway, Ben Pawson likes It.
Last year he grew six hundred BUSH
els Of potatoes on two acres Of land
that had no special preparation, and
only the usual precipitation. or rain,
as the less cultured would call it.
When he couldn't work at his hay or
grain, because Of the damp mornings,
he gave them some attention. And
then evenings between supper and
chores and bedtime he gave them some
work. Anyway his yield was six hun
dred bushels, and he sold the whole
lot for $285. Ben is satisfied. Still
there were larger yields than this in
the neighborhood.
If one might speak Of hogs In the
same breath in which you speak Of po-
tatOes, there is nothing In the ethics
OF literature that would create a de-
barment. Taking advantage Of this
license it will not be out Of place to
state that large potato yields are not
the only feature Of interest in this
new and interesting country. Amongst
others hogs are having good deal Of
attention. Not long ago, hogs reached
the $1,000 mark on the Calgary market.
1t doesn't cost much to raise hog
and very little to bring him to weight
OF 200 pounds. Don't cost muchi Ger
tainly not. But what about the man who
recently paid $3.50 for Duroc Jersey
Boar? That was all right. That man
knew what he was doing. He was do
ing what great many other farmers
In Western Canada are doing today.
he is acting on the old "saw," that
'sit costs no more to raise a good crit
ter than a poor one." That is the rea-
son that Western Canada is looming
large in the live stock world. The best
Is none too good. The same may be
said Of horses, cattle, yes, and sheep.
too. The very best sires and dams
of the best breeds are purchased. And
while big prices are paid, it Is felt that
the demand for pure-bred stock at
home and abroad will bring returns
which will warrant any reasonable
price that may be asked.--Advertise-

Assembly Refused to Consider Vote.

The assembly by large vote re-
fused to reconsider the vote by which
it passed the Fletcher bill appropriate
ing 100000 to aid in placing soldiers
on land. This bill passed the assembly
by a large vote, but Assemblyman
Mathison, Beloit, moved a reconsidera-
ton. The defeat of the Mathison mo-
ton means that the bill now goes to
the senate for reconsideration.
By'a vote Of 3S to 36 the assembly
refused to reconsider the vote by
which it concurred in the Nye bill
granting aid to soldiers in obtaining
education in the higher institutions in
Wisconsin. This bill would put In
force in modified form the S. A. T. c..
system for returned soldiers. The bill
now goes to the governor and the in
dications are that it will meet with
opposition.

Washington, July 14.-President
Wilson and Senate legal experts are
at odds over the question of whether
a majority or two-thirds vote is re-
CURED to adopt reservations to the
peace treaty.
President Wilson is known to be-
lieve that any reservation intended
to be permanent part of the treaty
must get two-thirds vote.
Many rules experts disagree.
The rule itself says two-thirds for

Phillip o. KS Bird Measure.

Senator Birds plan for community
center to take the place of the saloon
as common meeting place has re-
ceived the approval Of Governor Phil
ip, and the bill to promote this end is
now law.
When the federal prohibition amend
ment went through the legislature last
January, Senator Bird voted against
it, but announced that, knowing that
the amendment was sure Of ratifica<
ton, he would offer measure which
would provide system that would
in a way take the place of the saloon

The Bird bill, which has just been
approved by the governor, provides
that community center may be Gre
ated an da community house main
tanned in any tract Of contiguous ter
ritory containing either an area not
less than 16 square miles or popu-
lation of at least 500 inhabitants.

ter district, the people have the right
to vote whether a community center
can be established. If the vote is ia
vorable, the officers Of the community
center shall be director, treasurer
and clerk. who shall constitute COM
munity board to manage its affairs.
These officials are elected for q term
Of three years, the Office Of one off,
cial expiring each year. A tax not to
exceed one mill on excess valuation
may be voted for the erection Of the
building and for furnishing the same
with suitable apparatus.
Governor Philip has vetoed the
bill providing that deputy clerks to
the circuit courts in Milwaukee coun-
ty shall be appointed under the civil
service. The governor points out that
the law allowing judges Of circuit
courts to appoint their deputies has
been on the statute books since 1840.

Will Restrict Luxuries and
Raw Materials.

Paris, July 14.-It is announced that
the Council of Five has decided to
raise at once the blockade against
Germany.

experts declaring the official docu-

ed that importation of necessities,
such as footwear and clothing will be
made quite freely, but the cabinet in

that import syndicates must be
formed, and that these can only sue
