KimberIey's Wealth.

Kimberley, which iS but 60 miles
from the new South African diamond
field, rs one of the richest mines in the
world. Its yearly output is placed at
$4,000,000. Ninety-nine per cent of all
the diamonds produced in the last 20
years are said to have come from
South Africa.

HOW MONTANA CROP
SHOWS UP APRIL LIST

Winter wheat and rye in Montana
have shown some Improvement in
condition since last December, but
still are in very poor condition, while
the number of sows for spring farrow
shows a decided increase over a year
ago, and there is a acute shortage of
labor for the farms of the state.
These are the features of the April
crop report issued by George A. Scott
of the Montana Cooperative Crop
reporting service.
Winter Wheat
The condition of winter wheat is
II per cent of normal, compared to
SO per cent last December. The i'm
provement of II points in the condi-
ton of this crop is due not so much
to favorable conditions during the
past winter as to it's unfavorable sit
uation last fall. The gain is due to
considerable moisture over most of
the winter wheat areas in the state.
1t is too early to say how well the
wheat will emerge from the winter.
However, examination of many fields
have shown that the moisture re-
ceived since last fall has done much
for the crop and losses from winter
killing are expected to be fairly light
but is is very likely that stands will
be quite uneven
Rye
The condition of rye in the state
on April 1st is placed at 72 per cent
OF normal, compared with 81 per
cent last December. This crop has
suffered from lack of snow covering
and moisture more than has the win
ter wheat, since the north-centraI
and northern parts of the state, which
grow most of the rye, have had very
little snow the past winter. Some
rye which was sown in dry ground
last fall has not yet sprouted. Recent
SHOWS have helped it, and little loss
from winter-killing is anticipated.
Breeding Sows
The number Of breeding sows in
Montana is estimated at 40, 700 COM
pared to $4,000 last year. This IS
an increase of ten per cent over a
year ago. This increase in hogs
which is most prominent in the corn
producing sections Of the state. is a
consequence of the increase
n corn growing, of the more general |
interest in Investigation and of the |
ather steady demand and profitable |

We say the hundred dollars Mr.. Eklund
spent advertising was an investment of the high

from Johns experiment, and could be used
profitably by many.-Enterprise, Wilmot, S. D..
1t will not be necessary for you to invest
more than a small part of what John Eklund

AGES AGO AND TODAY

Three thousand or more years ago
King Tut reigned in Egypt. Tut was
a great old boy and a very rich king,
and when he died he caused much of
his wealth and treasures to be buried
with him in order that he might
have kinsly rank in Paradise. His
grave was discovered recently and
opened and its treasures exposed to
the envy OF modernity. Very rich
men Of today do not have their wealth
buried with them. 1t is needed to
support their gilded offspring in idle
ness. Back in those days II is assum-
ed that a young man stood on his
own feet. Today many Of them mere
ly rattle around in their dads old
shoes--of less value than the shoes.

HOW WORLD WAS pEopLED
Comprehensive Expression Concerning
One Of the Greatest Problems
Of AnthropoloSy.

DR.. Ales Hrdlicka, the distinguished
American ethnologlst. contributes to
the proceedings Of the American Philo-
sophical society an important paper
on the peopling Of Asln, which "consti.
tutes one Of the greatest problems Of
anfhropology." He concludes that the
cradle Of humanity was essentially
southwestern Europe, with. later, the
Mediterranean basin, western Asia and
Africa. It is primarily from Europe
and secondarlly from these regions
that the earth was peopled. and this
peopllng was comparatively recent.
Early man was unable to people the
globe. owing to his insufficient effec-
tlvcness. and until the end Of glacial
times and his old stone culture lie had
evidently all he could do 20 preserve
mere existence. Only an advance In
culture could enable him to control his
environWent and secure a steady sur.
plus Of births over deaths. The cause
Of mnn's peopling Of the world was not
a mere wish to do 90. but the necessity
arising from growing numbers and cor
respondlngly decreasing supply Of food.
II was this which eventually led TO ag.
riculture. This spreading over the globe
was conditioned by three great laws

THE MONKEY WHO
TURNED CAPITALIST
The Others Took to Socialism
and That Is How the
Fight Began.
BY JOHN oAkwoop

Just because people hear the term
high finance" so much, they get the
idea that the whole subject of finance
is over their heads. As a matter Of
fact, It Is right on level with their
bread-baskets. 1t has more to do
with every day grub than anything
else.
Finance has been described as the
art OF applying money to practical
ends. A man is a capitalist when he
accumulates enough money. either out
of his own savings or by borrowing
at interest the savings OF others, to
buy farm or build factory, and
begins manufacturing food or some
thing else he can sell to others at
a profit. That's finance, 1t sounds
simple. But heard story about
monkey the other day that made
1t even simpler.
Far be II from me to make q mon.
key Of capitalist-but this was
very wise monk. He lived in zoo
with dozen various other kinds OF
monkeys. Their food was usually
thrown in ready to eat and each took
his share. But one day the keeper
threw in some black walnuts. hard
as rocks. All the monkeys vainly
split their teeth on them and they
would have starved as far as the
results OF their labors went. But one
Of their number, who was OF q more
intelligent species than the rest, did
some thinking. Then he accumulat-
ed couple Of rocks he found in the
cage and cracked the nuts between
them. He started food factory. HE
WAS A CAPITALIST. He had prop.
erty that increased his ability to pro-
duce food-that added to his economic
power.
But trouble began. The other mon.
keys grabbed the kernels and ate
them UP a. fast % he knocked them
out Of their shells. THEY WERE
SOCIALISTS. There were other
stones and they could have cracked
their own walnuts. but they believed
in dividing up share and share alike
what the Capitalist produced. The
Capitalist monkey got SO mad that
he did the same thing to their heads
as he did TO the nuts. He cracked
them. The ZOO keepers had to put
the wise monkey In cage by him
self to prevent useless slaughter.
Human society handles a situation
like this better. There are those who
don't want to work-there are those
who have not the capacity to organ
ize enterrrise--there are those who
want more than the share they earn
there are those also who want an
equal division Of wealth. and now
and then there is rumpus about it
an outlaw strike or evolution or some.
thing. But as a general thing. the
present eoelai order fully protects the
farmer and the manufacturer and 9th.
er capitalists In their property rights
and enables them to receive their
just pay fo- what they produce. II
also provides reliable money sys-
TEN as a medium by which fair ex-
changes Of different products and
services can be made. and later on
will tell you story about that.

Method of Measuring ozone.

Before long it is likely that among
other attractions of a seaside resort
may be included announcements of
the proportion of ozone in the air.
Experiments have shown that it is
possible to discover the amount of
ozone in the air with fair accuracy.
Slips of white blotting paper are
soaked in solution of iodide of potas-
SUM and starch. These, protected
from sunshine and rain, are exposed
to the air for a definite period. Ac-
cording to the amount of ozone present
so is the paper colored in varying
shades of yellow. If ozone is abundant
the paper will be of very deep shade.

WHY LEGION POSTS PROGRESS
Working Hand in Hand With D.
spectlVe Communities Results in
membership Increase.

Progress OF the posts of the Ameri.
can Legion is founded on the relations
win the community in which they are
located, according to findings of the
natlonal officers of the organization
from a survey of posts showing regu-
lar membership increase.
Ihls survey was made in % states
principally those of agricultural ra.
glons' and represented reports from
640 posts In towns with an average
population Of 11,193 persons. Each Of
these posts has shown membership in
crease over that of the preceding wear.
membership growth of these posts has
not been sporadic. 1t has been steady
and sure. OF the BOG posts formed in
1919, an average Of SO members was
shown. In 1920 this average for 957
posts had dropped to %. The next
year 1874 posts added one more to the
average. In 1922, the average for 600
posts Jumped to So aid thus far the
$40 posts show an average of GO men,
bers.
Reasons assigned for this growth
are primarily due to interest in civic
afralrs. majority of post officers
say that membership has grown be-
cause "they have sold the Legion to
the community" Such posts have en-
countered little opposition in their
hve-year progress In Legion activity.
Actual accomplishments of the Lee
gion show a multiplicity of move
mentS, and a keen observance by the
veterans of the needs of the commu-
mites. The questionnaires show that
posts have built tourist parks and
camping grounds; they have caused
city parks to be opened; some build
and maintain baseball parks and
clubs; others build community bathing
pools; large number of posts have
caused play grounds to be opened;
many have erected public memorials;
few provide free band concerts by
Legion musical organizations some
plant trees as part of conservation
program and for memorial purposes;
others maintain burial plots for de-
ceased eX-service men; most Legion
posts make efforts to obtain employ
ment for former service men; they
direct boy scout movements and
sponsor troops; they participate in
Americanization of aliens, and afford
instruction in citizenship for boys and
girls; and the majority perform serv-
fee work for disabled men, through the
posts and in the hospitals. Other &C
tivities assigned as the regular lot Of
Legion organizations include the legis-
lative accomplishments for the veter-
ans, service work for the disabled in
compensation, participation in local
fetes, pageants, athletics, and other
movements developing community In
