Blue-White Diamond
Of 3B8 Carats Found
Discovered in Same Mine That
Produced Famous Cullinan
Given King Edward

LONDON, Jan. 21@A soft blue-white
diamond weighing $685. carats has
been found at the Jaagersfontein mine
Orange River Colony. This promises
to become one of the diamond fields
historic gems.
A local diamond expert said yester-
day that il cut to the best advantage
the stone described, when polished |,
should weigh approximately 175 carats,
putting it in n class with the few very
large diamonds in existence
The same expert said that IL the
stone is as described it would be price
less. 1t is the largest find since 1905,
when workman at the same mine
turned in a stone that weighed 3,025
oarats one and third pounds .
This stone was presented to King
Edward OF England by the Transvaal
government. This was the famous
Cullinan diamond. Diamond cutters in
msterdam fashioned from il nine
large diamonds and several smaller
ones. The largest stone when it had
been given the orthodox number of
facets weighed b161a carats and it re-
mains to-day the largest diamond
known to exist
The Kohinoor, when polished,
weighed only 102 1-16 carats because
Of some errors in the cutting. In 1893
diamond weighing 973 carats was
found in the Jaagersfontein field. This
WAS cut into ten stones weighing from
sixty-eight to thirteen carats

Peace Control Dangerous
Turning attention to the problems of
public ownership, Mr.. Kahn said that it
was to1s wise IN war time to have railroads,
telegraphs, telephones, shipping and
cther industries under government con-
trol, but that it was dangerous
tnlnE to continue such control in peace
times. He said:
IT all these activities were to be
handled by the government they would
lorce upon the payrolls of the Republic

1flsnments' fsn would be constantly agitating

ITO my mind, we must curb the
tendency toward paternalism. The very
country with which we have been at

conclusion.

Aet day when the War Trade Board
suspended export and import restric-
tions on trade with Palestine and
reaching out by rail and caravan across
Persia.
The official announcement specifies
that portion Of Palestine and Syria
which lies south of the line from
Alexandretta to Aleppo, inclusive and
west of the Hedjaz Railway. Aleppo
is the junction point at which the
Bagdad branch of the famous Constan-
tinople- Persian Gulf Railroad joins the
branch running from Constantinoplc
to Mecca and Medina, affording trans
portation annually to hundreds of
thousands of pilgrims. The territory
comprised in the order includes Da-
mascus. terminal point for overland
caravans bringing from Bagdad rugs
and other articles for export. Figs,
dates and tobaccos from the Levant
are among the most generally known
articles of commerce made available
by the new order, but there is no
limit on the variety or quantity of
articles of import or export for which
licenses may now be asked
All import restrictions on Egyptian
cotton also have been removed, it was
announced, and it is no longer a re-
quirement that the bill of lading be
Endorsed by the Textile Alliance, in

Conditions of readjustment in Serbia
and Roumania are such that negotia-
tions looking toward the resumption
of Grade with those countries are
progressing satisfactorily. The War
Trade Board announced it hopes to be
able, within few days, to give in
formation as to the conditions under
which trade with Serbia and Roumania
will be permitted.
1t is proposed to establish in both
of these countries inter-Allied com
mittees whose functions will be to in
vestigate conditions and to make rec
concentrations with regard to pro-
posed shipments.

Of the American National Livestock
Association. to-day told delegates at

President Pryor declared that the
United States has sufficient supply
of meat animals to meet all anticipated
demands from hungry Europe and for
domestic consumption, despite liquida-
ton during 1918.
"With our export decreasing after
1919 and our over-supply increasing"
Pres dent Pryor said, "the problem that
confronts cattlemcn is to regulate sup

needs of domestic consumers. For that

Definite Plan Lacking
"Our government is not prepared to
protect livestock producers from the
disasters that would follow over
production. No plan has been evolved
to satisfactorily determine costs of
production and to stabilize on such a

Industrial Accidents in
PENNSYLVANIA Decrease

HARRISBURG. Jan. 21.-The num-
Der of industrial accidents in Pennsyl-
vania has steadily decreased in the
last three years. This is attributed to
improvements in machinery and the ex
ercise of greater care by workers.
Accidents in the mills. mines and
railroads during 1918 resulted in injury
to 184,844 employees, of whom 3,403 died
from their injuries. This total is
43,O36 less than the number injured in
1917 and 7O,772 less than in 1915.
Fatalities Of 1918 exceeded those of
1917 by 333 and OF 1916 by 733. The
fatal accident records have been af-
fected in the last two years by fires or
explosions in munition plants. The
amount of workmen's compensation
awarded for fatalities and disability
claims in 1918 was $10,o3S,712. In 1917
the total was s7161 ,f94 and in 1916
s4,224,875.

BEAUTIFUL MULES BOUGHT
 FROM UNCLE SAM.

Jimmie Goodson, the well known stock man, is back from Little Rock with anoth- CT big lot of fine mules bought at Uncle Sam's Auc- tion and this time Goodson has a bunch of beauties which he says are the finest mules the U. s. Army could buy.
 Goodson knows animals and he and his firm never deal in anything but a de- pendable class of stock and hence he is well satisfied with his last purchases as he says it is the very cream of the Government animals.
 Quite a number of planta- tiOn owners in this territory are leaving their orders for special kind of mules and Goodson says it is surprising to see how many strange buy CTS come to the Brinkley stable every day from sur rounding towns.

in Interest of Their Town.
 We are going after suit able depot, for our town, re moval of the cotton platform from the center of the town and the necessary ditching to drain our low places" was what that bunch of live wire Holly Grove citizens told me when I asked them where they were going as four or five of them showed up at the Hotel Rusher Tuesday afternoon en route to Little Rock to appear before the Railroad Commission on We'd nesday
 In the crowd was Rue Abramson, c. R. Gordon, Atty r. C. Nolen and Mayor J. w.. Renfro.
 Here's hoping they get what they are after. for they de- serve it. In fact that Holly Grove bunch, taken as a whole, deserve most anything they want. The thing that gets me is that they have not as yet started in on per manent roads. If they'd only jar loose and start a move ment, it would be no trouble for them at all to get a north and south and east and west rock road thro' the county and then it would be so much easier for them to get to the capitol to get their de- pot, etc. Incidentally Holly Grove would be about the dandiest residence spot in Eastern Arkansas.

Highlands, Calif., Jan. 25,, 1913 Editor Argus,
 Dear Sir:
 have received and read last weeks issue of your paper and find much of in terest from home land. The nog sale that you say took place right there in Dear Old Brinkley'' was an item to make one sit up and take notice. There's something hap pening in that neck of the woods, if r not mistaken. People will raise hogs if the doctors do say that pork is unhealthy.
 We'll as I am in the orange | belt, perhaps some of the Argus readers would like to hear just how the picking is carried on. We will get our sacks and clippers and pro- ceed to an orchard. The sacks are made of heavy cotton goods with broad, thick strap and will hold from two to three pecks. Both ends are open. the lower turns up and is fastened with a cord that is full. letting out tic oranges so that you do not have to take it from your shoulder to empty. The clippers are made with a spoon-like shape, so as to fit on the orange and clip the stem and not cut the orange. When we get out, we find they have provided us with ladders from twelve to eighteen feet in length, which we will need as the trees are from ten to twenty feet high and many of them Ecve oranges to the top. Each man takes set of four trees with 1 a pile of boxes between two of the trees, and now the good work begins. The field boxes hold, perhaps, a bushel, and some of the best pickers will fill sixty to seventy boxes during the nine hours of the day. They are now getting three dollars a day for pick ing. Along comes the wagons loaded with empty boxes and distributes them where need ed and proceeds, by the help of the foreman, or one of the pickers, to load on the filled boxes, of which he may take back to the packing house, 100. If this proves of interest 1 may tell how the packing is done in my next letter. What has become of the County Correspondents?
