Don't put your winter overcoat

their folds, for on May 10, you are
going to need them, and maybe your
earmuffs, too, according to Farm

forecaster for Uncle Sam. Farmer"
Dunn no longer gets paid for telling
folks when to carry umbrellas and
wear galoshes and when to carry
sunshades, but occasionally he still
likes to have a shot at the weather
if only to keep from growing rusty
at the game.
Farmer" Dunn says that old man
Winter isn't so dead as he is believed
to be, and that on May 10 he will
come galloping back to blow chill
blasts down peoples spines and set
them shivering. There will be snow
on that day just as sure as guns if it
chances to be cloudy, says Farmer"

DIAMOND RUSH LIKE OLD
TINE SCENES IN ALASKA
tBy Universal service)

10Y OHlNcTSdi StINiCSp
LONDON.-Two men were killed
and scores injured in the diamond
rush which occurred in the Taunga
district in South Africa, according to
reports received from johannesburg.
The rush, the greatest in the his
tory of the diamond industry, was
accompanied by scenes of eYtraordi-
nary activity. The widest excite
ment prevailed among the prospec-
tive diggers, among whom were in
cluded men representative of prac-
tically every business and profession
in the union. Many of these men
formed themselves into holiday syn
dicates" and the demand for pro-
fessional runners was great.
Hundreds of police we're imported
to the Tlaping district by the au-
thorities in order to cope with the
unprecedented rush, and considering
the magnitude of the undertaking
comparatively little trouble was ex-
perienced.
AS the pegging ground was some
distance from the starting point, the
crowd lined up and waited the sig
nal to 60. At the crack of the pis-
toll the race started and the large
area was demarcated by the diggers
in almost record time. Experts say
the new field will be the most pro-
ductive in the world, Judging from
results already obtained.
