"Luckiest" Diamond
Bought for $50, 900

London.--A 19-carat diamond,
valued at 100000, which is said
ts~be the luckiest stone in the
world, has been purchased by
a group in England.
Unlike the famous Hope dia-
mond of ill-omen, which is a
greenish-blue color, the lucky
diamond is rosy-pink. It is cred
tied with the power of warding
IF ill-health.

suffering from an apparently in
durable disease. Immediately
after it came into his possession,
his health improved, and during

never had an illness.
Since then it has been handed

Chicago, June "a. "A new industry
is being born in the South. At Lufkir,
Texas, next month the ground will
be broken for newsprint mill This
will be the first mill making news
print from southern pine. It's effect
will be far-reaching. 1t will be an
other step in the industrialization of

South will force northern newsprint
makers to follow the trek of the tex

major crop, possibly as important in
the years to come as cotton is today.
This is a significant event.
The South's great problem, even
before the Civil War, was it's one

cotton prices were high or crops good,
the South prospered. When cotton
prices were low or crops failed, there
were hard times below the Mason
