Diamonds Cheaper
Than Food, Prices
In Moscow Reveal
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, September 4.-Dia-
monds in Russia are cheaper rela-
lively than food.-~ Pure white.
fiawless stones, cut on American
standards, can be had at 500 a
carat. Slightly yellow or "cin-
namon" diamonds sell as low at
$50 carat. But it is difficult to
get them out of the country on
account of the Soviet ban.
The sellers usually are members
OF the old aristocrats or nobility,
who, like most other classes, find
times extremely hard. Americans
and Britishers, who were the prin-
cipal buyers of secondhand jew
elry, have nearly all left Russia
and in consequence the demand for
precious stones is very small and
prices have dropped in proportion.

Wolf Point Wins
From Saco, 1912

/ Saturday night the local high school
basketball team played Saco high
school in the local gym winning by
the score of 18 to IL. The second
team composed of Philo Haynes, CEN
ter; Thomas Barton and Edwin
Erickson, forwards; Russell Burnison
and Charlie Rathert, guards; started
the game, but failed to hold the Saco
team and the first quarter ended 6
to in Saco's favor.
The first team with Matthew Weld
huis at center, Keith Riggin and
Rueben Smith, forwards; captain Syl-
vester Smith and Ray Cusker,
guards; went in at the beginning of
the second quarter, but didn't seem
to be able to get going and the first
half ended 8 to a in Saco's favor.
During the second hal however, the
local boys got going and soon had
the game tucked away. Rueben Smith
was the high point scorer of the game
with five field goals to his credit.
This was Wolf Points first start
and the team showed lack of prac-
tice and experience. Saco was playing
it's 7th game of the season and SEEM
ed to be going in midseason form.
The next game will be played here

RIVER CROSSING Is
MADE GOOD BY CLUB

The landing on the south bank OF
the river, at the ferry crossing,
which was in bad condition was put in
first class shape. A 8-foot bank was
dug and blasted away by the use of
dynamite back for distance of 80
feet The sand was wet down so it
would freeze into a solid foundation
and the roadway covered with coat
ing of manure, which was covered
with snow to make good going for
sleds.
There had been some severe com
plants by southsiders but the road is
now in first class condition on both
sides of the river, the best for several
years. The force that did the job was
made up of George Littlefield, LA.
Tanning, E. H. Mendenhall, Ted
Ruhd, Geo. Meister, Jim Schwinden
and Harley Miller. Littlefield and
Ruhd donated their time, otherwise
the expense of the job, which was by
no means an easy one, will be met by

Pure Seed Value

Three years ago Lee Tinker
manager of the Farmers Elevator
stated at Poplar that farmers in that
territory lost 80 per cent of the val
ue of their wheat by planting poor
quality of mixed seed. This has
been entirely replaced as all seed
from the registered or approved
source of Canadian Marquis seed is
very high in purity as well as quality.
Ten cents per bushel, increase in
quality is a low value to put on this
wheat as compared with the quality
that was formerly raised according
to elevator men who have handled
both as well as farmers who have
observed and raised both. However,
with both of these minimum values
placed on this seed at an average
price of $1.25 per bushel, it will
mean an increase in value, in yield
of 10000 bushels on the 10000 acres
of this wheat, and ten cents bushel
in quality on the 100000 bushels
produced in the county will make an
addition of $44,000.00, making a
total of $4,000
Last Year Also
The year 1923 showed up the same
results as 1924 in quality and in
creased yield but the acreage was not !
as large.
Roosevelt county at the present |
,ime has three registered wheat grow
ers, William Jensen, Lundville; Earl
Ioin, Poplar; and Sid Blair of Cul-
,ertson an dforty-three approved seed
growers all with high quality seed
md a good supply of it.
With the striking results in this
,rogram it is reasonably safe to pre-
ict that every wheat grower in
county will have seed
rom this source next year and that
his seed improvement program will

hese same farmers next year. Most Z
