According to advise given us by
Royal M. Sawtelle the Jeweler, all
persons -who possess diamonds will
find them weighing more atter July
first, nineteen thirteen.
Strange as this may seem it is true
and he has the following to say about
the diamond weight:
The carat Is a very ancient unit
of weight and originally was used for
weighing gold as well as diamonds
and precious stones.
The carat weight had its origin In
the use of certain hard leguminous
seeds; fifty seeds of Ceratonia Sill
gua taken at random and weighed to
gether gave an average weight of 197
milligrams each, thus was very close
ly to the present value of the carat
weight.
The Caratonla Sillq.ua la the carob
or locust tree, the fruit of which Is
the well known loctust bean or "St.
Johns bread."
The Greek name "Keration" refers
to the hornlike shape of the fruit
pods; and "carat" la an obsolete Eng
lish name for seed.
The seeds are remarkably even In
weight and thus the present term
carat.
In the absence of an absolute stand
ard, the carat weight varies In the dif
ferent countries; Bologna has a stand
ard of 188.05 milligrams, while Turin
has 213.05 milligrams as a carat
weight.
An attempt has ben made a num
ber of times to have an international
standard of a carat weight and in 1868
the United States by an act of con
gress made the metric system lawful
but not compulsory and in October.
1907, the International committee of
Paris proposed the metric cart which
was adopted by all of the civilized
countries with the exception of Eng
land, Holland, Belgium and the Unit
ed States.
On October twelfth of this year a
conference of the diamond importers
of the United States was held in New
York whereupon the metric carat of
200 milligrams was adopted, and the
date of July first, 1913, was given at
which time all diamond dealers of the
United States will adopt the new
standard weight and this will no doubt
be adopted by the other three coun
tries. The United States consumes three
fifth of the world's output of dia
monds; this is due largely to the fact
that the families of the European
countries have been collectors of these
gems for many decades and these are
handed down from one generation to
another.
The importation of diamonds is an
important prosperity barometer and
ir. the face of a presidential year the
importation of diamonds for the
month of July, nccording to the re
port of the appraisers of the port of
New York broke all previous records
and amounted to $5,547,116, this Is
due to the fact that a further advance
is looked for before the first of the
year.
The price of diamonds advanced
7 1-2 per cent on the rough stones
and 15 per cent on the cut stones dur
ing the year and the continued ad
vances do not seem to lessen the pop
ularity of this king of gems
The annual after-harvest banquet

growers' union and their wives and

At the regular annual meeting of
voters in school district No. 31 held

afternoon for the purpose of fixing

voted last year. Milton Eagle.
