They passed on, and at the suffrage

them to sign the suffrage petition. A
rather lengthy argument ensued, and
when the couple returned up the
bildlng, an anti who had watched the
proceedings stopped them to ask if
they had been converted to suffrage.
"I should say not,” was the em-
phatic answer of the young man.
“I guess they didn l have any ans-

ing at the now sleeping baby. Disgust
and disapproval of the sulfa were writ-

Practically all the Diamond mines in the world are
in South Africa, and the diamond miners were all draft-
ed into military service. That stopped the pumps and
the mates filed with water. It will probably be not less
than two years before any mere diamonds can be brought
Io the surface, and then many of the men who ivere em-
ployed in the diamond fields will be able to commana
much higher salaries salvaging the wiechage in Europe.
The result is that daimonds are higher and will continue
to advance for an indefinite period.
