THIRD RED CROSS ROLL CALL

VIII the Third Red Cross Roll Call
be success in Trego county We say
it will and we base the assertion on
the enthusiasm displayed by the work
ers who were assembled at the dinner
served at the M. E. Church last Sat
urday noon. The luncheon was served
for the purpose of getting the county
workers together and all parts of the
county were represented. About fifty
were seated at the table and partook
of the delicious two-course lunch
served by the ladies of the Methodist
Aid We judge from the disposition
shown by all, that they came not for
the purpose of just getting together
and having a pleasant social time but
they came together for the purpose of
helping to arrange plans for the pur-
pose of continuing the organization
of the Red Cross and for the further
purpose of going out into their home
districts with completed plans for
carrying out the work of collecting a
dollar from every citizen of the county
and enrolling their names as members
of the great Red Cross society of
America. The work will be done and
the week of November 2 to November
IL will see these wokers- and their
helpers busi1y on the job.
The object of the Red Cross organ
ization is to alleviate suffering and
to care for people and provide homes
and food for them in times of disas-
ter as well as to have done the work
it has done during the war. Disasters
happen somewhere nearly every
month of the year and if the Red
Cross organization is maintained
these calamities can be met and COM
bated much easier and more readily
than they can be if no such organiza-
tion exists. No one need think that
because war is over there is no need
for the Red Cross organization and
no one need think that he or she is
going to be let slide along without be-
ing solicited to continue membership
in the great philanthropic organiza-
ton. The need still exists and the
workers are going to see that all are
solicited for the one dollar member
ship fee. There will be some people
in Trego county who will not pay the
price but there should not be. Don't
delay the solicitor but come across
with the price as soon as you are ask
ed for it.

chimes, which segregate the super

slush of mud and gravel This re-
sidue is again shoveled into buckets
and sent to the puIsating machines
ten miles distant. Here it is emptied
into the top of the pulsators and
sites down through sieves of varying
mesh until it reaches the so called
pulsatine tables. These tables are
plates of iron which pulsate contin-
uously the surfaces of which are COW
cred with secret preparation of
grease to which only diamonds will
adhere. The slush passes over these
plates with flowing water, and while
the diamonds are held by the grease,
ordinary peb1es, Cape rubies and
other waste is eliminated. Men sta
toned at the tables pick up the dia-
monds as they adhere to the grease
and at the end of each day the dia-
monds are collected and sent under
guard to the DeBeers general office
at Kimberly. The next step is to sort
and grade into parcels, which are
boxed, strapped, sealed and shipped to
London, which is the worlds market
for uncut diamonds.
The operations in the diamond fields
require the service of 5000 native
Kaffirs and from 1000 to 5000 white
men, and they work with every faci1-

WHY DIAMONDS ARE HIGH
PRICED

Thirty years ago a one-carat dia-s
mond of good quality could be pur-
chased for $125- Ten years later the
price had more than doubled and even
at that time there was noticeable
difficulty in finding the finer grades in
liberal display. In another decade the
price had reached $3.50, and today the
price of carat stone of standard
color and fine brillancy is 500 dollars
and upwards.
When the schoolgirl of today is old
enough for her bethrotha1 ring she
may, if she is satisfied with the con
ventional solitaire of one carat, antici-
pate that it will require an exoendi-
ture of something like one thousand
dollars
In the public mind the thought per-
sists that diamond values are forced
and artificial, and to the uninformed a
huge trust or monopoly hovers in the
back ground whose special mission is
to advance prices. It is true that dia-.
naond production is controlled, for the
DeBeers consolidated Mines Ltd. owns
and operates the diamond fields of
South Africa, which produce ninety
per cent of the worlds diamonds The
fact however, and the further facs
strength, constitute purchasers
safety when buying diamond at cur
rent and always advancing prices.
DeBeers resources are simply too
overpowering to ever permit anything
to happen to diamond values, and
buyer may write check for a ,sia-
nlond with all the assurance of con-
tinuing and increasing value with
which he would write a check to the
'sNew York Life" for an insurance
premium.
Today the demand for diamonds in
fine grades outruns the supply, and
in fact alone supplies a sufficient an
swer to the question: WHY ARE
DIAMONDS HIGH PRICED?
The first diamond found was pick
ed up the surface of the ground.
The earlier mines were crude and
shallow, but wonderfully productive.
As the shafts have sunk deeper, the
yield has steadily declined and today
has fallen to an average of only $500
zxss ton of diamond bearing rock lus-
ually called "B1ue Clay but more
properly a rock formation.) Every
ton of rock is brought up from depth
of more than 1000 feet, in some
shaftes from a depth of nearly 5000
feet.
Operations have been so extensive
that it is now necessary to transport
the rock more than six miles from the
mines to find suitable grounds for
handling it. These grounds are known
compounds and here the rock is
spread out to be exposed to the sun,
air and rain for more than two years,
and where during the dry season, it
must be sprayed twice daily from
watering carts. At the end of eigh-
teen months the rocks begin to disin-
tegrate and is soon thereafter in a
crumb1ing condition

buckets and sent to the washing ma

day to determine the cause of death
