Co. when he heard that Mr.. Rodney
was organizing the Abilene Flour
Mills Co. In June, 1915. he arranged
with Mr.. Rodney for employment at
the mill as traffic man and book
keeper. Gradually he took on sales
work, and In May, 1917, he was
made sales manager and secretary
Of the company. becoming a stock
holder. When Mr.. Rodney moved to
Kansas City early In 1921 to organ.

Mr.. Welsh's responsibilities increas-

Besides his natural ability, Mr..
Welsh grew rapidly with the Abi-

Rodney. who was a stickler for hard
work and optimism. Those who

JEWELS BURIED SEVEN YEARS
French Countess Receivers Treasure
Which She Had Long Since
Given Up as Lost.

Treasure trove to the value of $780,
600 francs has been unearthed by
gardeners who were making new
path outside the Dauphine gate of the
Bots de Boulogne. One Of them, en-
gagged in removing an overgrown lilac
bush, suddenly shouted that he had
found handful of pearls, and when
his companions Joined him and more
soil was turned UP, small heap OF
jewels was revealed, lying hardly more
than a foot below the surface. Alto.
gether il pearls were recovered, in all
dition to very large one set In dia.
monds and a sapphire diamond brace
let from which two sapphires are miss.
ing. The police found the owner with.
in few hours, according to the Mon.
treal Herald She is the Countess de
Beauregard, and it is more than seven
years since she lost them. She says
that on August 2 when war was de-
clared, she went to the safe contain
ing her jewels to prepare 1t for re-
moval to the bank, but found several
cases open and empty, though a dia-
mond tiara and other valuable articles
still remained. The police suspected
her German chambermaid and several
times visited her in the segregation
camp to which she was removed, in
order to obtain admissions. After
peace was signed this woman, how
ever, was sent to Germany, and the
countess lost all hope of recovering
her jewels. The pearls belonged to
a necklace of $50, and the view Is
that the thieves visited the hiding
place from time to time as they want
ed money.

MODERN LIFE IN OLD CITY
Changes in Ragdad Might Well Cause
Caiphs to Turn Over In Their
Gorgeous Tombs.

Bagdad, the city of caliphs, the
scene of the deeds of the good Harun-
al-Rashid of arabian Nights fame,
is now enjoying the strangest sights
In its 1900 years of history. The
British have brought the Strand to
its bazaars, the motorboat to the III
girls and the automobile to its time
eaten gates.
Bagdad enjoys an English weekly
magazine. published in English and
Arabic, including some of the latest
brand of British humor and excellent
portraits of the leading muezzins and
sheiks. There are a number of Brit
ish banks doing business in the city,
branches of great institutions famous
the world over.
British hotels are there offering
roast beef and Yorkshire pudding with
ale and stout to wash them down.
They have Turkish baths, billiard
rooms, palm gardens and are furnished
with English furniture throughout
British stores sell perfumery, novels,
clothing for male and female of the
latest styles of London and Paris. One
leading department store in the old
city advertises: "What you may not
get In other stores In Bagdad you
can get In ours" says the Wall Street
Journal
One may soon see some lordly son
az the desert driving in his fiivver to
the local hotel to partake of the
roast beef and ale of old England.
