Please bear this in mind.
Diamonds of fine quality
have a very definite
value. True, some deal
ers. by reason of their
large volume of busi-
ness, low overhead ex-
penses, shrewdness in
merchandising, ETC., may
be able to underquote
others. But production
costs and wholesale
prices are too hXed to
admit of extravagantly
large disparities.
Take our own business,
for instance: r. Harris
s. Co. has for more than
fifty years handled an
unusually large dia-
mond business. We are
importers, too, with di-
rect connections with
the wholesaling centers,
both domestic and for
eign. We can both buy
and sell to greater ad-
vantage than the aver
age jewelry establish
ment.
We know, from daily
experience. that dia-
monds OF fine quality
are not plentiful at any
price. We know that if
the diamonds advertised
as mentioned were of
the quality cl i'm e d,
tn ey could not be
bought wholesale for
triple the retail prices
quoted.
X *
This does not mean that
good diamonds are necs-
sarily prohibitive in
price. Fifty dollars, and
even less, SIS, SlOO-
we can offer a wide Sc
lection of high-grade
stones within that price
range. They are not
half, three quarter or
carat stones, of course,
but they make an at
tractive e showing be-
cause they have the bril-
lance that comes of
genuinely high quality.

There are few things so
disappointing and un-
profitable as inferior
diamonds. There are
few things SO gratifying,
pleasurable and profit
able as ownership of a
really fine diamond.

That is why we write

help you avoid vexation

More than half-a-cen-

SAYS DEMOCRATS
LAVISH WITH BUNK

George B. Lockwood. secretary of
the republican national committee
and also editor of the National Re-
publican. regarded as the semi
official organ of the national COM
mittee, has come back with a sharp
reply to a recent statement by Chair
man Hull of the democratic national
committee, which alleged that the
republican national organization was
not giving women voters equal rep
resentation in it's makeup.
In an editorial today in his news
paper Secretary Lockwood says, in
part:
Bunk is, of course. an important
part of the stock in trade at demo-
cratic national headquarters. but in
this outgiving Chairman Hull is TAX
ing chances on using up the whole
vast supply in one broadside. Women
constitute fully one-half of the re-
publican party Republican women
democratic politician in looking after
their own rights and interests in a
political party where they are by
force of numbers tifty-fifty and
where they have today exactly the
same rights as men. About two
who went to the polls at the last
general election voted the republican
ticket, and these women recognise
the motives which inspire Chairman
Hull in appointing himself the cham
pion of their rights.
If womens representation in polit-
ical parties is to be based on the sex
rather than the citizenship basis. 1t
ought to begin with two delegates
20 every national party convention.
one a man and one woman. in
place of every single delegate chosen
under the present system. The same
system should be applied in every
state and local convention. For these
conventions are the real sources of
authority and final arbiterS in politi-
cal parties. Women are not children,
to be tickled with a toy, and II power
in political parties is to be given
them on the bloc system, because of
their sex, they should be given the
substance and not the shadow of
power.
Meanwhile if Chairman Hull will
devote his energies to the task of ad-
vancing the legal and economic status
of womankind to a point where there
will be some approximation in the
sectional south which controls his
party, of the standards attained in
states whose laws and institutions
represent republican policies and
ideals, he will have far more to do
than it will be possible for him to
even make good start on before an
other national campaign rolls
around"

LEAGUE ENTRANCE
APPEALS SOUNDED
Ex.Justice Clarke and Presi-
dent of Harvard Urqe
President to Act.

The league Of nations and the United
States were linked together by former
Justice John H. Clarke of the United
States Supreme Court and DR.. A. Law
renee Lowell, president of Harvard Uni
versity, in addresses yesterday after
noon at Memorial Continental Hall, at
a meeting held under the auspices of
the League Of Nations Non-Partisan
Association. OF which Mr.. Clarke is
president The meeting was in connec-
ton with the fiftieth anniversary of the
National Conference Of Social Work,
which closed a weeks session here last
night.
II or when the United States enters
the league it will be the front door and
because the public opinion of the coun-
try. irrespective Of party, approves of
so doing. said DR.. Lowell He agreed
with President Harding that America
shall not enter the league by the back
door, the side door or the cellar door,"
Appeal to Harding.
Justice Clarke declared he did not
urge acceptance of the covenant "as 1t
was In 1920. nor as 1t is now but as it
would be as modified by such reserva-
sIoho oS Jul pTcStIt dOIfll1lSlrdtlOn, or,
II not that. the next one, may propose
as conditions of our entering it." Mr.
Clarke said THE different thing which
the league has proved to be in practice
from what it was thought to be in
theory and the moral obligation of the
promises upon which he was elected
all lead us to urge the President to defy
the little group of ambitious men in the
Senate and by one bold stroke of lead
ership lift this fateful question out of
party politics and restore our country to
It's rightful place in the family of ma
tions"
DR.. Lowell said the republicans won
out in the election for reasons
wholly apart from international
questions" and that to treat the
league as the campaign issue would
therefore have been misleading" He
said he believed that party politics
should stop at the waters edge, be-
cause foreign policy which Is not
continuous is dangerous to a nation,
and mo policy can be continuous
which Is supported by one party and
opposed by the other"

Folks Speaks.
Homer Folks. the retiring presi-
dent who has presided at the fiftieth
anniversary meetings, summed up his
impressions of the sessions as fol-
lows:
Social work is on the map. Every
state in the Union was represented
In this conference. The interest has
not diminished from the beginning
to the end. The pleasure of seeing
Washington and of meeting each
other has been subordinated to the
hardest kind of work on the part of
everybody in preparing themselves
better for their jobs. Social welfare
is now a recognized permanent, i'm
portant. responsible factor in Ameri-
can life"
Mr.. Folks also reminded the con-
ference of the statement of Emerson:
I'm attacking abuses for every one
who aims at the root there are a
thousand who aim at the branches"

Does your back ache, night and

Hinder work; destroy your rest?
Does it stab you through and

When you stoop or lift or bend?
Then your kidneys must be weak.
Often baekache is the clue.
Just to give you further proof,
The kidney action may be wrong.
If attention is not paid
More distress will soon appear.
Headaches, dizzy spells and nerves,
Uric acid and its ills
Make the burden worse and worse.
Liniments and plasters can't
Reach the inward cause at all;
Help the kidneys-use the pills
Hurley folks have tried and proved
What they say you can believe.
