Kansas City.
Dear SIR:
Your inquiry to the service we have
received from Diamond T. Trucks, at
hand. n
The original Diamond T. truck owned
by US was purchased in 1913 and is in ser
vice today, having been overhauled but
twice during that time.
This is IL ton truck, and the fact
that in 1916 when found it necessary to
purchase further equipment purchased
two 81 ton Diamond T. trucks seems to
speak for itself, with regard to the service
have received.
The 81 trucks, both of which have been in
service now for two years, have been run
ming every day and giving excellent service
in spite of the fact that they frequently
overloaded.
We are entirely satisfied with our trucks
and feel that there is no better truck on the
market regardless of the price and where
we in need of further equipment it would
most assuredly carry the Diamond T. en-
blem the radiator,
Yours verytru1y,
Mont. Ward & Co.

Shall We Discard Hyphens?

In the struggle for the conservation
of energy and material we are urged
to cut out the hyphens from our books
and writings, says the Chicago Jour-
nal. Their use causes us to waste an
enormous amount of time, ink and
physical force. Some nations build
up compound words without any n.y.
nhen to break them, but the English
find one necessary for simple word
of five letters, like to-day" 1t may
be roughly estimated that each of the
2,OOO,OOO,0O0 people who write Eng
fish write today" tomorrow" or
tonight" three times day. Half an
ounce of force is required to make
a hyphen with a pen or a pencil, so
this superfiuous symbol entails to-
tai waste of 1S,5O0,O00 pounds daily, or
enough to draw passenger train
round the world.

TAKE 1T EASY I'M THEATER
Japanese Customs That Seem Odd to
Those Accustomed to the For
maIities of the West.

Japan must be "a happy land for
theatergoers, because in that land
seats are not paid form fact there
are NO seats. The Japanese much pre-
ferS to squat, feeling, no doubt, much
more at home i'm THIS comfortable at
titude. Seats. however, are usually
brought for the use of any foreigners
who may be present. There are no
hard and fast laws of convention. The
japanese playgoer may do as he
pEeases; he may eat, drink, smoke
and criticize to his hearts content.
Conversations are carried on, and, if
they merit it, the actors are met by
storm of criticism and chaff. When
man enters the auditorium he removes
his boots, and If the weather is hot,
any clothing that appears to him to
be superfiuOuS. The naive frankneSs
of the actors prompter is rather de-
lightful, for if an actor forgetS his
lines the prompter comes on the stage
and, quite openly, points out to the
actor where he is wrong. A boy is
kept for the express purpose of walk
ing on the stage and wiping the per
spiration off the actors faces; this
duty he carries out without disturbing
the even tenor of the play.

Beetle Cultivator.

Ants are not the only insects that
practice the cultivation of mushrooms,
although for long time twas thought
that they were the only creatures Of
a lower order than man that possessed
the intelligence to follow such an agri-
cultural pursuit. BOuverie, the entO-
mologist, had found that a certain
wood-boring beetle, known as the bos-
trychide, is as familiar with mushroom
cultivation as is the species of ant of
which so much has been written. Pro-
fessor Bouverie discovered that the
beetles in question bore holes in wood
and half fill them with a prepared
fungus which makes an ideal mush-
room bed. The garden is carefully
spawned and in course of time the
mushrooms appear. In this way the
beetle provides itself with a food suf-
ficiently tender for it's feeble jaws.

Humminu Birds Nest.

Burroughs, in his charming little
book. "Wake Robin" says it is an
event in ones life to find humming
birds nest. The event happened to
me without any effort on my part.
Looking up from seat in the grove,
I saw the ruby-throat drop down on
its nest, like a shining emerald from
the clouds; it did not pause upon the
edge of the nest, but dropped imme-
diately upon it. The nest was stu
ated upon an oak twig, and was
about the size of a black-walnut, and
from where / sat it looked more like
an excrescence than nest. 1t was sit
uated in the fork of two twigs, and
firmly glued at the base to the lower,
but was not fastened to the upper
twig-Mary Treat in Home Studies

MAKES THE SAPPHIRE BLUSH
Radium Treatment Turns the Cheaper
Stones to Rubies Which Com
nnand the Highest Prices.

Modern science has not brought us
very much nearer the magic stone Of
the old philosophers, but it has enabled
later experts to play some surprising
tricks with the existing materials of
the jeweler and lapidary. The. old
alchemists set out to discover the phi
losopher's stone, and achieved gunpOw-
der and other adjuncts to civilization
as the accidental by-product of their
original inquiry. Their less credulOus
descendants reverse the process; the
invention is made first and it's applica-
ton to magic is discovered afterward.
The existence of the electric furnace
makes it possible to create diamonds
that are the veritable stone, and to
fuse clippings and fragments of ruby
into one complete jewel. Now arrives
a report that with the aid of radium
successful transformations have been
made in the appearance, if not in the
nature, of certain precious stones. A.
sapphire, it is said, has been turned
into a glorious ruby by long exposure
to the effect of radium. Chemically
considered this is not very surprising,
for the two stones are both examples
of corundum, and the mysterious acct
dent of color is the principal difference
between them. If a sapphire can be
made to blush hard enough for it's
mistake in not being a ruby, pre-
sumably it could blush itself into a
most accomplished example of the
more valuable stone.

THIEVES GAIN MUCH ON

LONDON. March 27.-An amazing
story has come TO light of how cam

Ing them at their full face value,
One OF these notes was passed in the

the belief that they were perfectly
good ones. and the probability is that
thousands of pounds have been Melted
by the authors OF the plot.
Before the war all bank-notes on
heing returned to tho Bank of England
/ were cancelled and sent to q paper fac
tory to be reduced 10 pulp Tor CONVEX
sion into new notes. The cancellation
was done by tearing on the lower
forating three or four holes In the
center.
During the war this practice was
suspended, the notes being reissued
time after time. Recently, however, the
in at the Bank Of England.
Among the notes lately cancelled
were q large nuinber of 500 pound
notes.
To the SURPRISE Of the authorities
