B|G DIAMONDS NOT
 UNLUCkY, HE SAYS
DlscoYerG of Worlds Largest
 Disputes Superstition

New York. Aug. 10. - DO big diamonds bring bad luck?"
 The man to whom this question was put certainly was we'll qualified to answer it. For he is Sir Thomas Culllnan. South African millionaire Tn whose mine was found the worlds largest diamond. the "Cullinan." It weighed 1.37 pounds and was worth, wholesale. one million dollars.
 Do diamonds bring bad luck 9 Sir Thomas repeated the question.
 TO the seeker. yes. To the wearer, no.
 There's a general truth that ap- piles both to jewels and gold. They cost more to get than they are worth. Their quest too often brings poverty, failure and death.
 Only Symbols
 People value diamonds and gold as wealth. They are symbols of wealth only. The things that count for a country are agriculture and industry"
 Sir Thomas is in the United States to study industry in general and pot tery manufacture in particular. He wants to see what applications of American practices can be used in South Africa

north DAKOTA IS
SPLIT IN twain
G. 0. P. It Odds Over Support
Ing Herbert Hoover

Bismarck. N. D.. Sept. 6 "
North Dakota republicans today
had split over the question Of sup
porting Herbert Hoover for presi-
dent.
The nonpartisan league faction OF
the party was on record as refusing
to endorse Hoover's candidacy while
the Independent republicans are
backing him.
The action came yesterday at q
meeting. called to organize the re-
publican state central committee.
The independents offered a resolu-
ton endorsing Mr.. Hoover and his
stand on agriculture. This was de-
feated by vote Of - to 9.
AS a consequence. the indepen.
dents or regular republicans" or
ganized separately and decided to
carry on a vigorous campaign for
the national ticket, as nominated at
Kansas City.
The nonpartisans In their resclu-
tons criticized Mr.. Hoover as a
tool Of big business and asserted
that the republican party hssl stray
ed from lts original course. The
resolutions made it clear that the
action was intended to show = lack
OF faith in the republican party and
its candidates rather than an en-
dorsement Of Gov. Alfred E. Smith.
Urge Remain regular
Among the nonpartisans who
backed the original Hoover resolu-
ton. were Fred F. Graham. repub-
lican national committeeman. and
Stephen Terhorst, who Is manager
Of the Hoover Curtis clubs In North
Dakota.
Both Graham and Terhorst urged
that the party should remain reg
ular" In this campaign and back
Hoover. They later Joined the in.
dependents meeting.
The regulars were defeated by
the committee members from dis
tricts which had been hostile to the
present Coolidge administration and
the nomination OF Mr.. Hoover. The
independents committee also disre-
garded the stand taken by United
States Senator's Lynn J. Frazier and
Gerald P. .Nye. Of North Dakota,
who have issued statements an
nouncing support for Mr.. Hoover.
Both Mr.. Nye and Mr.. Frazier were
elected with nonpartisan league en-
dorScments.
Democrats Meet
The democratic state central COM
mlttee also met yesterday and

In addition. those who oppose
smith because he y Z Catholic are
said to feel that the religious issue
can be used against him with great
force now that it il question OF
the presidency itself. instead Of the
governorship. In tho rural sections
the meeting notices Of the ku klux
khan have reappeared here and there
on roadside telegraph poles.
Has His Following
But it would be 2 mistake to a.
sumo that Gov. Smith Is without his
personal following upstate. He al
ways has run ahead OF his ticket in
the upstate counties, and In several
normally republican upstate cities
like Syracuse he has come through
occasionally with city majority. In
1884 he polled more votes for gov
ernor than Davis did for president
in so of the 60 counties Of the state.
and In nearly all Of these his vote
was greater than that Of Davis and
LaFollette combined.
The democratic nominee recently
told newspapermen that he took no
stock in reports that many VINO
have voted for him for governor Will
not support him for president. New
ertheless he is keeping his eye on
the state, and may be depended on
to do SO until election. he prob
ably will wind up his campaign
somewhere in New York and have
| the last say to the voters he has ad-
dressed SO often. after Mr. Hoover
has made his speech IN Carnegie
hall October II.
Tickets Not Certain
One factor that makes predictions
perilous Just now is tho uncertainty
over the makeup OF the respective
state tickets. The republicans hold
their nominating convention here in
Syracuse late this month, and the
democrats will meet in Rochester
the first two days Of October. It
/ is an evidence Of Smiths close at
tention to the state situation that

'UP.STAIERS' ARE
AGAINST governor
W' I.sb With Opposition
Outside Of City

syracuse, N. r. Sept. s N11n all
Of his battles for the political mas
terry of his own state. Governor
Smith has met his greatest opposi-
ton outside the boundaries of hia
native New York city. in the halt
hundred and more counties known
collectively to politics as Upstate
New York" 1t il SO in 1928.
Throughout this northern coun-
try the republicans are organizing
once again with an impressive de-
termination to overthrow by upstate
strength the heavy majorities Smith
always has commanded in the down
state metropolis. The issues still
are somewhat indistinct. and the re-
suit is likely to remain q matter OF
dispute for weeks to come. II the
public claims and condolences OF
both sides were averaged up mathe-
matically, the answer would be a
stand-on. 4 great deal OF water
has yet to 70 under the bridge in
this New York campaign, and it is
safe only to predict that neither side
will leave undone anything 1t can
ind to do toward capture Of the
Empire State prize OF Is electoral
yotes-more than one-sixth OF the
total number needed to elect a pres
ident.
Familiar Ground
In its early stages the campaign
is turning on old familiar ground.
The drys are active. Talk OF pos
sible hard times for business under
a democratic regime at Washington
goes about among the Hoover men
as they seek to ALLEVIATE from Smith.
the presidential candidate, as many
as possible OF those who have sup
ported Smith. the candidate for gov
ernor. There also is the old COM
plant OF domination of the states
political machinery by down-statte
leaders in the confidence Of Tam
many Hall. Various local issues will
make or lose votes in the smaller
communities.
On the basis of past returns. any
prediction would be possible. Not
since the Cleveland era has New
York voted for democrat for
president, save only when Taft and
Roosevelt disagreed in 1912. Most
Of the recent republican majorities
have been overwhelming. In the
last PRESIDENT year. Coolidge carried
the state with 100000 more votes
than Davis and LaTollette combin-
ed. But the other side of the pic
ture is that while Harding was
sweeping New York in 1920 Smith
was running more than 100000
votes ahead of his ticket and losing
the governorsh.p by but handful;
and that he since has been elected
governor three times. the last time
in 1926. by a plurality OF 247,00c.
So far as upstate New York alone
is concerned, the question this year
is not whether the supporters Of
Hoover have . normal advantage
but whether they can 80 use that
advantage As to outbalance Smiths
strength in his great stronghold
downstate. Almost all of the up
state counties are normally republi-
can, both in state and national poll
tics. A great majority Of them are
normally dry. In all of the coun.
try sections and among upstate city
populations as we'll the republican
tariff and anti-Tammany pleas have
been used effectively at times In
previous campaigns. These are some
OF the things by which the republi-
cans hope to PROFIT this year.

Alfalfa Wilt Is Cause
of Plant DYING in Spots

Does your alfalfa now die u In
three or four years, where before it
used to live a good deal longer? Or
does 1t die only In spots. and seem
to lack vigor?
Maybe the trouble Is alfalfa wilt.
This is caused by a breed of microbes
which get into the plant somehow, and
plug up the sap vessels. The plants
may look all right, and then suddenly
wilt down on a hot day. Later In the
summer, some of the plugged roots
may produce pale, spindling shoots
with small leaves. If you cut across
the tap root Of these plants, the
woody part will be found yellow and
discolored next the bark.
Not a great deal Is yet known about
this disease. Scientists think that the
microbes enter the plants through
wounds, but how to stop the injury
is not yet known. Disking alfalfa
may sometimes lead to this trouble,
and probably shouldn't be done il

Daily Loss of Wei1ht

The loss Of weight that we under
go every day has been the object Of
recent research, says Science. In
the experiments. conducted by the
Carnegie institution at Washington.
two sensitive balances were used.
Both were strong enough to weigh a
man, but delicate enough to register
minute changes in weight. One of the
balances would indicate a change of
one-third of an ounce, and a person
could sleep all night on Its platform.
The other was a hundred times as
sensitive, but could be occupied only
for an hour or so at a time. The total
moisture losses through the lungs and
skin of a woman Of average weight
averaged around so grams, or one
ounce per hour; for a man the figure
al about one-third higher.
