RICH CHINAMAN BUYS FAMOUS
 DIAMOND
STONE WEIGHING 1o2.69 CARATS WAS WORN BY GABY DESLYS AND HAS ROMANTIC HISTORY; WAS WORN BY ANCIENT GIL NESE COURT BEAUTIES

SHANGHAI China. Dec. 29.-Worn by the beautiful Gaby Deslys, French actress famous for her wonderful | jewels and the hearts she had brok- en. and having romantic, mysteri- ous history. the largest diamond in | China, has been on display in local jewelry store, has been purchased by wealthy Chinese of Picking whose name is not known.
 The marvellous stone. weighing lO269 carats and measuring more than an inch in width and having depth in proportion, arrived from Paris recently
 The fame of the stone was abroad in China soon after it arrived, but the scintillating jewel. in it's blue velvet box, was brought forth for only a favored few to see.
 The jewel is centuries old and is said to have been worn in the jeweled turbans of famous court beauties. shone as the eye in the forehead of a goddess in a temple in Egypt and to have played part in the wars of the ancient world.
 Whatever it's mysterious past the next chapter of the jewel will be written in ancient Picking. Whether it will be worn by the wife of a wealthy official at social functions at tended by the cosmopolitan foreign residents or on the slim little hand of q beautiful concubne hidden from the public eye is unknown.
 The purchaser of the diamond made one visit to the store. inspected the jewel and purchased it at once. The diamond was sold for $5O,OOO and. according to the managers of the firm of jewellers. would have sold for $l75OOO if the color had been per feet and the shape, which was slight ly square, round
 The Chinese are the great diamond buyers in Shanghai The Chinese women are mad about wonderful jewels and wear large diamonds in rings and bracelets, hair ornaments and in dangling earrings. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are invested bv the Chinese in diamonds every year. and the more expensive, more nearly perfect in coloring and larg- CT the stone the more certain the jewel is of immediate purchase

Professional Hobo
 Fast Disappearing

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec 29.-The old-time professional hobo is dsap- bearing. A new generation. ranging from twenty to thirty years of age, has taken his place-but the new generation lacks the finesse at the art of hoboing that was distinctive of the old timer
 The old-time hobo Is disappearing. giving place to younger genera tion," said Dan O'Connell. chief spe- cial agent for the largest railroad operating in the west. under whose direction no less than 20,624 hoboes were put off trains on the railroads s system during the month of October alone
 The number of hoboes this year is greater than during any previous period in the company's history" said O'Connell.
 "The majority of those beating their way on our trains are young men. Most of them are under thirty years of age and many are in their early twenties.
 "The old timers. with their blan- ket rolls are found more infrequont- ly. The newcomers in this class are not so wise to the ways of ho- boing and many lives are lost.
 "Thc percentage of fatalities in- jurics is much greater in the case .of persons beating their way on trains than in the case of accidents to railroad employees" according to R. J. Clancy a railroad official in charge of safety work. The prac- tice of stealing rides is highly dan gerous, and the danger is not gen erally appreciated If such tres passers meet with accidents the chances are that they will be killed. or maimcd for life"

Urges Removal
 Of Appendices

KANE, Pa, Dec. 29 pr. Evan Kane, the surgeon who last summer cut out his own appendix without first taking an anesthetic, has sug- gested to the Elk County Medical So- ciety that a law should be passed by the next state legislature com polling every child to have its ap- pendiX cut out. Properly performed and with the right hospital care afterward, he said. the number of deaths from such operations would be few. 'o contended that many human ills were directly traceable to diseased appendix. Chronic inval- ilism from rheumatism, dyspepsia, and other illnesses are results of chronic appendicitis, he said.

MAGNOLIA TEST NEAR AGdWAM rs

tlon.
This is due TO the fact that many
are expecting the tost to pick up n
sand at some depth between $500
and $500 feet. Tho test "a being
drilled with cable tools. Also tho
reputation Of the Magnolia ~ adding
interest to the proposition and from
the time they spuddcd II has been
considered as one Of the most Inn
portant tests ever drilled In the
county.
The test lies between the Harness
well, which Ia producer IN section
l5.Jn.7w and the abandoned test Of
the Gladys Belle In section 9.4n.7w.
4 line drawn from the Harness well
to the Gladys Belle could pass almost
through the Magnolia derrick. The
Harness well Is a producer at around
2l50 to 22OO and at the Gladys Belle
they picked up a good showing at
around 2700 feet. Because Of the
depth and the fact that they were
drilling with rotary, caused some
speculation as to the extent of tho
showing. Some were of the opinion
that the sand found there would
have made well. Others who
watched the progress declared that
the Gladys Belle people we're right in
passing 1t up. They drilled to around
the 5000 foot mark and abandoned
the well.
The test of the Gladys Belle was
higher than the present Magnolia,
as to surface elevation. Many be-
lieve that the showing picked up by
the Gladys Belle should be struck
by the Magnolia at around $500 feet.
Some Of the Oil fans of the city
who are boosters for the particular
territory in which the Magnolia is
being drilled, predict that at their
present depth, they are nearing the
pay and that if the Ninnekah sand
extends south, they should be ready
to pick it up at any moment. Re.
eardless Of predictions, the fact re-
mains that the Magnolia test is
drawing majority Of the interest
in oil circles at this time.

REPRESENTATIVES OF FEDERAL
VOCATIONAL BOARD TO BE
INIoWA COUNTY.

Representatives from the District
office of the Federal Board of Vo-
cational Education in Chicago will be
in Dodgeville April 25th and in Mineral
Point April 26th. They establish
headquarters at the Red Cross office
in the city hall at at Dodgeville and at
the American Legion rooms at Mineral
Point.
1t is their intention to take action
on such cases of disabled soldiers as
may be in need of rehabilitation.
Claims for training will be investi-
gated with a view of bringing i'm
mediate action. Men who have been
disabled by the war and who are not
able to carry on successfully are the
especial problems of the Federal
Board. Training is given those men
either through schools or in indus
tries or business houses or Offices
which will enable them to make a
living successfully in spite Of the
handicap from which they are suffering
due to disease or injury incurred in
the service.
The plan has been put into opera
ton in order to bring this training to
men who need it as rapidly as possible.
With great numbers Of disabled men
who returned from the war. it has
necessarily taken considerable time to
investigate and take action on such
claims.
Any disabled men who are in need
of training or whose claims have been
pending with the Federal Board are
urged to call on this date.

A GREAT APRIL SNOW STORM.

Last Friday afternoon, April 18th,
snow flakes partially filled the air but
failed to make showing in the lap of
mother earth until about Z O'Clock that
evening. From then on through the
night and all day Saturday the storm
assumed she form of blizzard.
CitizenS Of this community are unani-
nous in the opinion that much more
Of 1.-THE beautiful fell at this setting
than in all the storms combined of the
winter just past. 1t is generally esti-
mated that fully two feet of snow fell,
but because of moisture it settled per-
ceptibly upon coming in contact with
the ground, and consequently but little
more than ten inches on the level APP
peared in sight when the storm ceased.
The wind being amply lively there were
drifts from four to six feet high in
numerous places. Public highways
were practically blocked and railroad
trains were delayed for hours. Fortu-
nately it was not cold enough to cause
man or beast to suffer, excepting say,
what man had to endure on Sunday by
the act of shoveling.

to this storm as late as the middle Of

One outstanding feature associated
with the storm is the fact that by
