Rubies Higher Priced
Now Than For Years

Chicago-Rubies, one of the most
fashionable and expensive of gems,
are higher priced now than for years.
The value of the ruby always has
depended not only on it's beauty as
a crystal jewel button its rarity. AS
n jewel it antedates the diamond
and from the earliest centuries until
now it has been rare. Carat for
carat, it is more costly than the
diamond.
The greater part of the worlds
rubies come from Burmah and the
output of Burmese mines is on the
wane. In 1915 the output was 167,-
904 carats; in 1916, 136,7S5 carats;
in 1917, 1872, 400 carats. AS the sup
ply has decreased, the value has
risen. The value of the output in
1915 was s169,74S; in 1916, S174,-
454: and in 1917, $212,057.
"Rubies, sapphires and spinels," !"
says L. p. Briggs, U. S. Consul at
Rangoon, in a report submitted to
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
commerce at Washington, come
s-om the district on the east bank
or the Irrawaddy river, $50 miles
north of Mandalay.

Myitkyina district in the extreme
northern part of Burmah. The in

the hands of the Chinese and the
product is taken to China. The
quantity is increasing only gradually
but the value has increased enorm-

of the unusually large amount of
jewel and ornamental jade produced.

WHAT'S IN A NAME3

What's in a name? In the light
of events Just passed there must be a

Of people who went before the courts

mems anything that had a suggestive
tint of German. Then there must
De other objective features to some
names.
A Mr.. Mutt recently eometh into
court and pleads that his name be

"Playmates call my children Little
Nuts, and want to pick a name that
,an't be made fun Of" said the har-
-assed Mr.. Mutt.
We don't blame Mr.. Mutt, for truly
here are some names that are really
provocative.
The agonies of lads inflicted with
'ancy front names, and suggestive
rear names, have never been under
rood; but many a cynic has been
developed in the grade schools be-
,ause he bore a name that gave too
much temptation to the lively imag-
nation of his clever little playmates.
Indeed it takes a prophetic parent
Il eye to name babe so that forty
Years hence the name will not be a
'urse or cause for scoffng.
Plain girls, given fancy, flowey
names that become a mock in their
ank spinsterhood. know what we
mean.
Husky, rough neck youths, who
we're given some sissy name in their
habyhood, know what we mean.
Though a man can escape some Of
he curse of fancy front names by
,sing their initials, for the woman
here is no relief.
Mary is grand old name, and
parents who stick to Mary or Jane,
md John and William, and whose
ancestors had sense enouch to
choose family name like Smith,
Clark or Jones, have given their heirs
md assigns reason to arise and call
hem blessed.
The psychology Of the effect Of
names upon the folks who bear them,
has been given slight study, but we
are convinced that no mere faltering,
struggling human atom ever wrested
through a weary life with a name
like-say-Percival G. Winterbot-
'om, without suffering daily agonies
hat were as needless as they were
cruel.

MORROW COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
FORD IS NOT AN ANARCHIST.

The jury in the famous Ford-Trib-
une libel suit, one of the longest and
and most famous on record has
found for Mr.. Ford and has awarded
damages to the plaintiff in the sum
OF SIN cents. This is a small amount
when compared to the million dollar
suit which Mr.. Ford had waged for
several months against the Chicago
Tribune because that paper had re-
fered to him as an anarchist, but MIR.
Ford feels that he has been vindicat-
ed and in that respect has won a
victory before the courts.
The Tribune probably did not
mean that Mr., Ford was an anarchist
in the sense Of a bomb thrower or
ole who goes aeout trying to destroy
al form Of government by radical
ats, bat referred 10 him in that light
more because the Tribune felt that
he was a3lias; the government in
his efforts TO prevent preparedness.
Had the Tribune stuck TO its 'ignor-
ant idellist' phase of its editorial
and left out the anarchist charge,
Mr.. Ford vol,d easily have been
wrapped up in his own testimony,
for he admitted that he was an
,norant idelliSt, In fact Mr., Ford
admitted several things which open
ed the eyes Of the public to the
smallness Of the man.
Ford conceived motor car that
made him a multi-millionaire. At
once he desires to become a leading
factor in guiding the destinies not
only of his own state and nation, but
of all countries. His idea is to do
away with things national and to
make them international, if we got
his testimony straight while he was
on the witness stand during the libel
suit trial.
He came very near being elected
United States senator from Michi-
gan. He had begun to lead the peo-
pie Of this country into the belief
that he was a man of letters. Yet
after all he has admitted that it was
his money and not Ford brains at
all, that was putting all the big stuff
across. Mr.. Ford has done we'll in
the world Of mechanical endeavor
but when he attempts to become a
leader in other fields, he is taking in
too much territory.
We doubt if anyone ever really
thought that Henry Ford was an
anarchist. We believe that he was
sincere. But he admits that he is
an Ignorant idealist" 50 that prob
ably explains everything.

THERE Is MONEY m STRAW.

| Morrow county farmers are learn
ing more and more the value Of
straw. Very few straw stacks are
burned here any more. There is
too much value represented in that
straw as a fertilizer and as forage
in slack hay years that has proven to
our farmers here the folly Of useless
waste.
Bat straw is not saved in all parts
OF The country as it is here. Straw
BY he hundred thousand tons was
burned all over the country hereto
fore, but last year the scarcity Of
feed forced baled straw on the mar
ket, and from S. to Sl5 a ton was
paid for common straw by desperate
feeders, who had to winter their
stock on something.
/. So straw for time meant real
money.
Taking the country over, there will
be plenty of forage without balinc
straw, so maybe the straw stacks will
again blaze on the western horizon.
But not if the farmer is wise.
At present prices of fertilizer
staw, wheat straw, is worth $40 a
'on. There should be about 50,000,-
900 tons of straw from the years
wheat CROP, half billion dollars Of
raw fertilizer, which will be mostly
wasted
Straw will reclaim thin, "blowy"
burned out soil, and on such land is
worth far more than $40 ton. Many
farmers have proved this to their
own satisfaction, and any other far
mer can prove it for himself if he
will only spread few tons on some
of his poorest land, plow il under,
and keep account Of his crop in
creaSeS.
But still, all over the country, you
will see, these next few months,
burning straw stacks, stacks left to
mould and rot their fertility away
If this cost of living thing keeps
stirring up the nation, il will be made
unlawful for half a billion dollar
wastes TO burden agriculture,
