LARGE AUDIENCE
HEARD DR.. CONWELL
IN HIS LECTURE
:'ACRES OF DIAMONDS

The seating capacity of the Baptist
church was taxed beyond its limit by
the number of people that gatherei
last night to hear the celebrated
speaker, Rev. Russell Conwell. His
subject, Acres of Diamonds was in
troduced by story told by a guide
to him in Egypt. 1t ran: "a young
man wished to 60 to the diamond
mines to dig for the precious stones.
He sold his house and few acres of
land in order to obtain money for the
expenses of his journey. He travelled
from one place to another. until at
last, his money all gone, he threw
himself into the sea. The man that
bought his property saw a shining
light in dark colored stone. He
picked it up and took it into the
house. The Priest visiting the family
soon after saw the blazing light and
told the man he had found diamond.
Thus were the famous Tolconda dia-
mond fields brought to light. If the
first owner had looked for diamonds
on his own white sands, he would
have saved his life and possessed
great wealth. The speaker asked the
people of Lakeland to search for the
diamonds in this part of the earth

grapefruit into marmalades and such

Pomfret's Good Cattle Record.

In Pomfret "a per cent Of all the
cattle in town are registered and 05
per cent of the registered cattle be
long to the Jersey breed. These inter
esting facts were brought out in a
survey taken by the Windsor county
farm bureau. They found that there
was, on April LIST, 1920, total of ,527
head of cattle of all kinds owned with
III the town, and $40 of these are reg
istered.
This total of SO registered cattle,
Of which 46 are bulls, are found on
4G of the 50 dairy farms in town.
Thirty seven of the 40 last -mentioped
farms have some registered females.
but the list includes only one herd
of other breed than Jerseys.
This is some record surely, espe-
cially when one reflects that less than
two per cent of all the cattle in the
United States belong in the registered
class. The total figures for Windsor
county show that seven per cent of the
cattle in the county are registered,
which is also good showing,

leadership of the county agent. is held
largely responsible for this healthy
state of affairs and it affords SPLEEN
