able stories about his experience. He en-
tered into communication with the So
viets to buy diamonds once the property
of Russian mobiles and the churches. He
was shown a trunkful of stones dumped
in without any attempt to separate or
classify them.
Negotiations had been progressing
favorably for two weeks. when the mer-
chant attempted to fix a definite price.
The Soviet officials asked him TO wait a
few days, when, they said, they would
have several more trunkfuls of diamonds
TO dispose of. But the merchant fed.
The prospect of such wholesale guam
titles of diamonds being unloaded on the
market threatened to wreck prices 1t
is generally suspected in Russia that
where diamonds are being collected in
such large quantities there is ample OPP
portunity for leakage. Diamonds are so
compact form of wealth that they can
be Struggled more readily than any. other
object The temptation is naturally
great The army of Soviet agents en-
gagged in collecting these bushels of dia-
monds are suspected of secreting many
stones and selling them for their private
gain. A fortune can be gained in this
way in an hour.

Vermont Good Enough.

I'd rather let my hair grow gray
Up here this North of Boston" way;
Id rather watch my setting sun
Up here where meetinghouses run;
l q rather see my cough get worse
Up here where Sunday goff is scurse,
Than live beside some sea or sound
With lots of bigbug neighbors round.
Id rather languish as / please
Than have this hoof-and-mouth disease
In which your feet chase up a ball
And tEen your chin describes it all
/ d rather keep my soul in tow
And watch the crook-neek squashes
grow,
Up here where l could go and find
The meddersweet. if l was blind.
Its jest this old Greenmountain State
I'm speaking of. and speaking late,
For few NermonterS disagree
On what Sunday Oughter be
And nlashies. foursomes. put and tees
Are still strange words to most of these,
These folks that don't propose to choke
On black and ignorant factory smoke.
I'd rather live mp round this way
And vote my viii Matchmaking day:
Id rather dwell where kindness breeds
And save my own tomater SEEDS;

For Pinchot's pull or Pershing's push;

For any crown on any head.

DIAMONDS by THE BUsHEL.
Those Now Comming from Russia Have
No Commercial Pedigree.

Has your diamond commercial pedi-
gree? If it is a valuable stone and was
purchased from reliable dealer. it prob
ably has. In case stone is very vat
liable. a dealer naturally wants to know
something about its history. unique
problem has just arisen in the diamond
trade with regard to the stones now
comming out of Russia. As all the world
knows, these diamonds and other pre-
cious stones have been confiscated by the
Soviets from private owners and the
churches According to all commercial
precedents. these diamonds have no COM
mercial pedigree.
New York, being the principal market
for diamonds of the world. is especially
interested. 4 diamond merchant just re-
turned from Russia tells some remark

MOSCOW, Aug. 17.-Mother Nature
appears to be trying to make up to Rus
STA for what she did to her last year.
Accurate estimates of the grain crop Of
1922 still are licking. but from nearly
every province reports pour in to Mos
COW that not in many years have such
growing crops been seen.
When rains were needed. they came
this spring in a profusion that made
up for last years drouth. When sun
shine was necessary it was on hand
Unless some unprecedented weather
condition develops between now and the
time of harvest, practically every blshel
of seed that was planted last autumn
and this spring seems sure TO bear fruit.
Rye fields are higher than Il MIN ;
head, the ears fairly dropping with kerr
nelS, are waving and browning through
out the Volga and central Russia, while
the wheat is coming mp in good shape
in Siberia and the Ukraine. Potatoes
and other vegetables are hOurishing.
Cattle which looked like skeletons in
the winter are fattening on rich green
pasture land.
In some localities stricken last year
by the drouth an unusual phenomenon
has been noticed. Grain sown in the
spring of 1921, which failed to sprout at
all last summer has come up this year
to swell the small sowings which were
available in the spring of 1929. La other
places, where the grain was so short and
undeveloped last autumn as to be I'M
worthy of harvesting. these dwarf plants
dropped their seed and this, too. has
sprouted under the rains and sunshine
Generally speaking the ground seems
TO have gained strength during the ia :
mine year, and the rich nitrates which
II big l92l crop would have exhausted
were left in the soil to fatten the kerr
nels and strengthen the stalks of this
summers grain.
The areas sown this year perhaps were
less than last in many provinces, but
the crop itself is so good that the Weld
is expected to be more than three and a
half billion pools of grain for all Rus
STA. a billion more than last year A
pood is 3G poundsl.

There was little conversation between

When the music began for the fourth

toward him provocatively.
"Oswald-aren't We going to dance
thie?'
With a little sigh the boy got on his
feet.
Gee, grandma can't we go home

pick up mother on the way back. She
telephoned that she'd forgotten her latch
