The Frank Lozar Post takes this
opportunity to thank all those who
placed their automobiles at the dis
posal of the Post on Memorial Day.
Athletic Manager Gianotti has an
nounced the second big athletic exhi-
bition of the season. This will be
a wrestling match between Adolph
Dolinsek, the Ely wrestler, and
Sailor Jack of Duluth. Local fans
are still talking about the speed the
Duluth man showed in his recent
meeting with Karhunsaari in Ely
few weeks ago and those who have
watched the local boy in his recent
workouts say he is fit to meet the
best of them at his weight. Ger
tainly the two grapplers are well
matched and neither will lack back
ing. The match will be staged at
Athletic Park on the. evening of
Thursday, June 18th. Two interest
ing matches have been arranged to
Lprecede the big event.
The manager deserves much credit
for the success of his efforts in bring
ing high-class matches Of this kind
to Ely. The Legion, throughout the
country, has given it's support to
athletics of all kinds, especially box
ing and wrestling, but the local Post
in putting on matches of this calibre
for the public has gone step far
Their than most Posts of twice it's
size. In return it relies upon the
support of the sport-loving public
of Ely, to make possible the contin-
uation of these exhibitions.
The next regular meeting, which
occurs on June 22d, will be feat
ured by a stag feed and smoker.
Arrangements are being made for a
large attendance. This will be in
the way of welcome for the new
members of the Legion.

The local Post has entered into a
contract with the "Loos Shows" a
high-class carnival company which
the Post is bringing to Ely for the
week of July 26th. These shows
come to us highly recommended,
their special features being the size
and magnifcence of the attractions
and the entire absence Of object
ionable shows.

Memorial Cottages.

The number of lives the war took
has not been adequately rcckoned. The
number Of families it broke up is like
wise uncounted. Yet right after it we
have greater Shortage az housing
than ever. There is interest in this
connection in letter to the London
Spectator, evidently from one of the
sufferers of the WAR. It contains Sug-
gcstion which may or may not be new
in this country.
The writer calls attention to an
article in the London Chronicle tell
ing OF the building of 40 cottages for

not clear to him whether these were
built BY public or private funds, but
never mind that. would 1t be pos
slble," he asks, %for individuals to do
likewise? What more practical me-
mortal of any fallen hero than to pro-
vide home for disabled soldier or
sailor or for his widow and children?"
- Though our war widows and. or
phans and our disabled soldiers are
few compared with the losses Of Great
Britain, we have need enough for more
houses, and the memorial cottage idea
is not q bad one.

Dickens Appreciation Of Himself

That Dickens was fully cognizant OF
the reception his writings would re
ceive from many persons is shown by
the following quotations from his
Charles Dickens edition Of Martin
Chuzzlewit" "What is exaggeration to
one class Of minds and perceptions
is plain truth to another" And II
have never touched a character pre-
clsely from The life, but some counter
part Of that character has incredu-
lousy asked me: Now, really, did I
ever really see one like itY" And IAN
the Pecksnlff family upon earth are
quite agreed. / believe, that such a
character as Mr.. Pecksniff is an exag-
geration and that no such character
ever existed"

MUCH BENEFIT TO CARLISLE
 AND VICINITY
Nichols X Hutson's Big Economy Sale
 Drawing Large Crowds

The big Economy sale of the old re- liable firm of Nichols & Hutson that has been in progress since the 20th of November has been continued in definitely.
 The sale has been attracting large crowds of buyers from far and near in and around Carlisle, and has been of untold benefit to the people of this vicinity. The goods they have pur- chased are seasonable and are 1eAlsys- instances as lew in price as they were before the war.
 This big store which carries the largest stock in the county is meet ing all price conditions and on some articles which were bought with the expectation of thk continuation of war time prices they are losing mon. ey. This shows the appreciation of this old reliable mercantile establish ment for the trade they have been re- ceiving from many old customers who have been trading with them for years. They feel that if they have to :. lose on goods that they bought at a high price and are compelled to put on the market at a sacrifice that they want their trade to have the benefit of it.
 Nichols & Hutson have been in the mercantile business here for years and have always measured up to a high standard. They buy only the best lines in the markets and have always been fair in their dealings with the people of this trading territory. They have in every instance made prices that were not exorbitant and have been able to hold their large trade which extends for many miles around Carlisle.
 The Independent has just printed 2. large order of big bills for the con- tinuation of their big Economy sale which is attracting so much attention at this time. The readers will also find full page of bargains in this issue of the paper. You should read every line of their advertisement and make your selections.
 They have also made great reduc- tions in their grocery department which will add greatly to the value of the sale to the trade of this vicini-- ty. Go and see them and supply your needs while you have the oppor- tunity. You can make no mistake by buying at the prices they are mak ing, as in all probability they are as low as they will be at any time in the near future.

THE CROUCH

Whenever you hear a man com blaming about how much it will raise his taxes if Road Bond issue goes through, just find out how much interest the grouch may have. Ten to one he has about $1O0.OO or less of assessable property within the county and has no intention of making his permanent home with in the county. To hear some of lem talk you would think they owned about all of the county and would be taxed beyond endurance.
 We wonder if MT. Crouch ever stopped to think that the people of the county would not care a helluv a lot if he were else where to do his grumbling and knocking.
 If MT. Crouch would work half as hard for the upbuilding of a project as he does against it he might accomplish some good.

Worlds Diamond Crop Worth
Billions
Statistical Expert Estimates Value Of Gems at
approximately $l3,o06,6 42,0 900

If all the diamonds mined in history and existing today as cut and
polished gems were gathered from the ends Of the earth, they would form
a pile about as large as a wagon load of coal dumped on the sidewalk, says
a Chicago statistical expert.
The pile would contain 46,355474 carats and the gems would weigh
ten and one-half tons. If the pile were in the form Of a cone, it would have
a base diameter of eight feet and a height of five feet. Reckoning the
diamonds at $500 a carat, it would have a value of S13,906, 642, 200. 1t
would contain 71O 13 gallons worth SIS, 539, 023 a gallon; or 76 13 bushels
valued at So, $40, 729 a bushel. All the worlds diamonds could be packed
In an ordinary clothes closet or a kitchen pantry.
This estimate is based on a approximation of the total output of
rough diamonds in the worlds entire history. India, it is estimated, has
produced, all told, 50,O0O,0 900 carats; Brazil, %15,O000O0; South Africa,
~170,574,O0O; Borneo, 100000; British Guiana, $4,000; Australia, $780,
900; China, 1000; Siberia, 500; United States, 500. This is a total rough
output of 236, 777,374 carats, or IS 35 tons a~voirdupois. !
Only about fifty per cent of rough diamonds are cut into gems and
lose about sixty per cent Of their weight in being cut and polished. Da-
monds are practically indestructible and the first diamond ever mined may
possibly still be in existence. But the estimate allows for the loss of at
least 100000 carats by food, fire, shipwreck and other disasters. These
reductions and losses leave the total of cut and polished diamonds at 46.
355,474 carats.
The estimate of $500 a carat is the minimum price at which diamonds
can be bought today. The popular demand for diamonds was never sc
great and they have become the gem of the working people Is well as the
wealthy classes. They are worth three times as much now as before tbs
war and sell at from 5000 to $1,000 a carat.

Origin of West Indies

The origin of the West Indies is to
be studied by a naturalist who recent

theory makes Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti

American continent 1t supposes that
they were isolated by depression be-

The second theory sees the islands as
