It Is true they are not abundant — I not enough to cause any wiki rush to localities where they are occasional ly washed out but even diamonds are included in the state’s valuable mineral resources, according to a report Dr. W. N. Dogan, state geologist, has made to Richard Lieber, director of the state conservation department. Dr. Logan has identified crystals of quartz, rutile, topaz, garnet, tourmaline (brown ami black),• feldspar, amethyst and diamond found in Indiana, and lie ras recognized agate opal, jasper and chalcedony in pebbles picked up along the creek bottoms in the state. In the "Handbook of Indiana Geology” a recent publication of the state department, Dr. Logan says the greatest variety of rocks and minerals which are classified as precious stones, are obtained from the glacial drifts. They were transported to Indiana by glaciers from the crystalI line rocks beyond our national boundary. Streams that pass through the I glacial jlrifts wash out portions of their banks during seasons of high water, and deposit sand and gravel from their burial places where they have been deposited for many centuries. They are usually found as single crystals or fragments of crystals in these loose deposits, but occasionally they are imbedded in fragments of crystalline rocks. According to Mr. Lieber records show that more than a score of diam onds have been found along streams in Morgan and Brown counties. The largest one reported weighed nearly five carats, but the majority were under two carats. Most of them were picked up by persons washing the stream sands and gravel for gold. o RACCOON PIE THIEF. Saranac Lake, N. Y„ Nov. 12 —(United Press.)—A group of boy campers at Eagle Lake returned to camp recently, hungry as wolves, to find that a large apple pie sent from one of their homes had disappeared. There was, however, a plain trail of pie juice leading into the wood. Just out of the clearing the boys came upon their treasure, or what was left of it. The thief was a large raccoon, who reluctantly left the feast be bad stolen, and disappeared in the brush.

MAKING A HOME OUT OF A HOUSE Ed Chronister, Adams Co. Farmer, Writes Article For Capper’s Farmer. "What I did to moke a Homo Out of My House,” is the subject of an Interesting story written by Ed Chronister, Adams county farmer, which appears in the November Issue of Capper’s Farmer, a widely read publication, printed in Topeka. Kansas. The story Is accompanied by al picture of Mr. Chronister at work and' six other views of the Chronister homo, showing the house before and after Mr. Chronister had applied landscape gardening. The story and pictures occupied one entire page in the magazine. Following is the story': "My wife and I desired a beautiful home, not just a house. We had planted a bed of geraniums and a beautiful cannn bed. Those flowers bogged us to do more. In April, 1918. the county agent came along and interested us in landscaping work. He made us see, through imagination, how we could add to the beauty of our homo by planting shrubs and flowers. We obtained the services of a landscape gardener from Purdue. When he outlined the work, it seemed a big undertaking, but we were brave enough to begin. It was not an easy job, but the work proved so interesting we lost sight of the labor part of it in contemplating the result. The joy of seeing the shrubs and flowers grow was a pleasure I cannot describe. Caring for the flower beds and shrubs soon became a pleasant pastime. 1 like to work with them so 1 do a little now and then and I scarcely can tell how much time I spend. However, a day in the spring and a day in the early winter to mulch the beds, and a few minutes now and then to do a little trimming and a little working of the ground' are all that is necessary. For the background I used the taller sorts of shrubs, such as lilacs, fragrantissima, honeysuckle, Austrian pine, Lombardy poplar, willow, ninebark, forsythia, Japanese snowball, Arguta spirea. Missouri currant, yuccas and witch hazel. For foundation planting I set out spirea Van Houtii, ninebark, snowberry, honeysuckle, and Antonia Water! spirea. In front on each side of the walk, I planted Prunafolia spirea. weigela and deutzia. For the corners I used the Butterfly bush. White Kerria, kerria, Japonica. Flowering almond, smoketree, Mock orange and also Hollyleaved mahonia. I also have a tulip tree, redbud, and maples, an oak and an elm. Along the drive and front Ibota privet is growing. Along the sides I planted the perennials, irises and peonies, and hanging on the fence is bitter-sweet. This planting cost me approximately $125, but I had to do some replacing on account of mistakes in getting the proper plants and because the seasons were much against me. I lost some of the shrubs because I did not understand how to care for ' them. I have studied shrubs and flowers 1 until I have come to know something about them and their habits and it has made me like them better. I have read about landscape work to get new ideas and I have gotten advice from the county agent and from ( men at the agricultural college who t have made a specialty of this work. Their suggestions have helped me very much. t It is my greatest enjoyment to stroll about the lawn and see the different shrubs and flowers. It has * created a love for the beautiful, and ’ makes me feel that God is good. It broadens one's intellect and is a ' strong factor in the building of char- 8 acter, the greatest thing in the world. 8 Last but not least is the pleasure of | *• hearing compliments passed by the F traveling public. They alone will repay you for your trouble. We often'li hear passersby exclaim. “Oh, what a fi beautiful home! Is not that a won- e derful place?” e When X began planting, my neighbors did not take to it. and they talk- d ed lightly about it. I was ashamed o to let them see me working, so I did ' much of the work late in the evening t ] and early morning. But I don’t do | g that any more. Now it is conceded 01 that my home is the most beautiful t) , in the community.” I w 0 l t( A New York man is the inventor t) of a doll that sheds tears from its eyes in a natural manner when its ti body is squeezed. | Chestcolds l Apply over throat and cheat ' B i —-cover with hot flannel doth.

WHY HARD COAL COSTS SO MUCH U. S. Coal Commission Reveals Causes for Prevailing High Prices. Tatted Preaa Stair Correapnudeut Washington. Nov. 12 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Causes of the high cost of anthracite coal to the consumer were revealed in a report by the United States coal commission, made public here today. Three causes w r ere assigned for high prices: 1. Increases frqrn year to year of the profits of coal operators increase in their net income, dividends and surpluses. 2. Tremendous increases in the value of coal lands on the books of their owners and in the market, despite the fact that the coal in these lands is annually being depleted. 3. Holding of vast quantities of coal lands idle. The public is paying the carrying charges on this idle land. The commission recommended four measures, to be taken by the government and consumers, to prevent further anthracite price increases. These are 1. Use of substitute fuels by consumers. 2. Complete publicity, through a federal agency of operators' costs and profits. 3. Prescribing of a uniform system of accounting for coal operators, to prevent concealing of profits or delay in getting at the facts. 4. Differential taxation so that operators who make a high rate of profit shall pay heavier taxes than operators whose profit rate is low. a Justice of Peace In Bluffton Is Threatened Bluffton, Nov. 12—A threat against the life of Justice M. W. Walter is made in an anonymous letter signed with a cross of blood, received through the mails from Chicago yesterday. "PH be breaking up you and these other skunks, so beware, the message threatened. No reasons for the threatened attack are given other than the brief statement that "you are one of them skunks that come to a house at night to tear a man out of bed in com pany with other skunks." "AU your 100 per cent who tear his heart and other vital organs,” followed incoherently. The remainder of the letter could not deciphered. The cross at the bottom was evidently made of genuine blood. It is' »f a brownish, reddish tint. Mr. Walbert is at a loss to explain the queer and startling message. He s unable to connect with any of his dficial or personal activities of recent iccurrence but suspects that it is the work of a personal enemy who sought :o frighten him. He states, however, hat he has no fear of the threat beng carried out and is planning to urn the communication over to the wstal authorities. The handwriting is evidently that ts a good penman who changed his I ttyle in an effort to conceal his hand. .• Poneto —Poneto, not to be outlone by Kirklin, forgot to hold an flection Tuesday.
