25 MILLION ASKED
 FOR ORL0V GEM
Soviet Agents Place Fabulous
 Price on Diamond

Moscow, Oct. 21.-(P}-Does any body want to buy a 194-carat dia- nond?
 The soviet government has one on it's hands, the famous Orlov gem, and doesn't know what 10 do with il.
 The superb stone, probably the finest specimen Of q diamond, eX- n"rts say in the whole world, now ddorns the end of the Russian czar's imperial sceptrc of power: but as Russia is now a republic of workers and peasants, the bol- shevks have no use for sceptres or diamohds, and they want to convert the gem into coin. It has been placed formally on sale at the state treasury. It is guarded by twenty armed soldiers.
 The price asked for the Orlov, which the Hindus call Dcryai-Noor r'Sca of Light'D. is S25.000, GOO. but the sovic;s will be glad 10 talk 'torms' with any American who really waits to acquire the massive stone either as an ornament or as a commercial investment.
 T. is as big as q bisected eEr, so that it is hardly suitable for tic pin, ring or pendant. It might be cut up into small stones but this. experts say. would destroy its value, which lies in it's unprece- dentc9 size.
 The Orlov is 24 carats heavier than the renowned "Koh-i-No Noor' diamond, which forms a part of King Georges crown of England The holshcviks say it is much su- porior to the "koh-i-N Noor," being Inc largest and finest Indian dia- rnond in the world. II is pure blue white and of Hindu cut. If an American millionaire cannot wear q crown, say the bolsheviks. he may at least acquire the largest diamond in existence.
 The Orlov gem has highly TO- mantle history behind it. II is said by the Russians 10 have been stolen shortly after the conquest of Delhi in 1727 by 9 French rene Gade soldier in India, where if termed an eye in q statue of Ruddha. Escaping to Nalabar with his prize, the soldier sold the precious "cyc" 10 q ship captain for Sl0,oo0, from whom Jew- ish money-Ionder acquired it for SGO, GOO. An Armenian merchant named Lazarev bought f. from the Jcw and soil it 10 the Russian Count Orlov. one of the many ad- 1nirors Of Catherine the Great. fo" %20o. .oo0 and q ''patent of nobility
 Count Orlov, in turn, presented .he treasure to Catherine the Great On her birthday. the presentation Icing accomp1 by a lavish feast at the Russian summer pal ace at Tsarkoa- Selo. Count OrloV received in return, Russian history says, not only the favor and alfoc- ton of the famous Empress. but ,o annuity for life and title of nobility.

NORTHWESTERN WILL
INSTALL SIGNALS AT
SPRINGFIELD CROSSING

Superintendent MI. Boyle Of the
C. & N. w. Ry. Co. and the division
engineer appeared before the Spring
field council Monday evening OF last
week and explained the new signal
ing devices which the railroad COM
pany has asked permission to install
to take the place Of the present gates.
A request had been made previously,
but the council sought further in
formation and the entire matter was
explained at the Monday night meet
ing. The council granted the request.
The new signaling devices will be
operated by electricity. They will
consist of red lamps which will flash
when train is approaching. A
"Stop" sign, electrically controlled
will be raised into view also when
trains approach. Above the sign will
be two cross pieces with the words
Railroad Crossing" painted in large
letters. The device is mounted on a
concrete base.
This will take the place of the
crossing gates which were installed
about fifteen years ago when the
council applied to the Railroad and
Warehouse commission for them
They have been operated by a man
in tower. These gates have been
quite expensive and the railroad COM
pany is making the change on the
grounds of economy. The new device
has the approval of the state high
way acknowledgements Ad-

SOME GOOD SUGGESTIONS.

Here is some mighty good advice
from Ex-President James A. Gar
field: snake few promises. Always
speak the truth. Never speak evil
of anyone. Keep good company or
none. Drink no Intoxicating liquors.
Good character is above everything
else. Keep your own secrets, if you
have any. Never borrow if you can
possibly help it. Do not marry until
you are able to support wife. Keep
yourself honest if you would be hap
ply. When you speak to a person
look into his eyes. Make no haste to
be rich if you would prosper. Spend
less than you earn. Save or invest
the balance. Live within your in
come. Save when you are young to
spend when you are old. Never run
into debt unless you see way out
again. Good company and good con-
versation are the sinews Of virtue
Your character cannot be essentially
injured except by your own acts. If
anyone speaks evil of you, let your
life be so that no one will believe him.
When you retire at night think over
what you have been doing during the
day. Never be idle; if your hands
can't be employed usefully attend to
the cultivation of your mind. Read
the above carefully and thoughtfully
at least once a week."
Do so well today that you will have
no fear of being done tomorrow.

Union GospLe Mission To Make
Christmas For Saint PauL's Poor

men of the city, but the boys of poor
families have social opportunities IN
another department which has been
specially organized for their benefit
Well furnished club rooms and a good
sized gymnasium where basketball
and other indoor games may be play
ed are among the attractions offered
to them. A small membership fee is
charged, but if boy wants to join
and is not able to pay this fee, there
is always big brother who will see
that he is not deprived of the privil-
eyes of the club. One Of the inter-
esting undertakings in connection
with the boys department has been in
the organization of boys band
which is now far enough advanced to
give concerts for the entertainment of
hotel guests.
Religious services are conducted
nightly to which everyone is invited
and the meetings are attended by an
average of about 125 persons. Ev-
angelistic services were recently con-
Quoted with 1000 persons crowding
into the meeting place while many
were turned away. Thanksgiving,
Christmas, and other similar occa-
sions are usually marked by special
services and on New Years day the
Relief Department will have a special
dinner for homeless men.
The real purpose of the New Bethel
is to care for the workingman. To
provide him a hotel where he can get
first-class accommodations at rea-
sonable prices. The further varied
activities of the Mission take care of
the man without money and give him
an opportunity to earn meals and
lodging honestly if he is out of work.
Although the new hotel has been
in operation only short time, it is
visited by a large number Of work
ingmen. There are many nights
when the dormitories are practically
full. We're it not for an institution
of this kind, many men would ex-
perience difficulty in finding shelter
each night. The institution fills a
great need, but it is only one of the
many precautions that have to be
taken in the big city to prevent suf-
fering and distress. There are work.
ingmen out Of work who have FAM
lilies to support. There are the sick
and the infirm. All these have to be
provided for and to that end citizens
of Saint Paul contribute through the
Community Chest $655,0O0 annually.
Besides all this, a tremendous hospi-
tai is maintained at a cost of $780,
900 a year to care for the sick who
cannot pay their own expenses.
Mothers pension, child welfare work
and outdoor relief swell the amount
which the taxpayers pay to $812,055,
or combined total of all relief ex-
penditures of $1,467.O55 year. This
represents an expenditure of approx
imately S. for every man, woman and
child in Saint Paul, and just goes to
show that the big city actually has a
heart.
