Trees of Morrow County
Said to Contain Diamonds
We are reliably informed that the
trees of Morrow county contain dia
monds. Thii information cornea to
ui from Hardman, where in former
years, opala were produced in large
numbers, and of very fine quality,
but now thia Industry will pale into
the ahade. While sawing wood one
day the past week, mini for that pur
pone portable gasoline aaw outfit,
A. W. Saling and Wm. Grener made
the diamond discovery. They were
working on a big log, and when about
half way through ran onto lomething
that would not cut and their aaw
blade was ruined. Investigation
ahowed that they had come in con
tact with a small quarti pebble,
which had lodged near the middle of
the log some 40 feet from the butt
end, and these gentlemen state that
this pebble contains diamonds, and
we shall now expect the people of the
community to all turn to woodsaw
ing and diamond hunting, for there
is wonderful possibilities here of find
ing the precious stones, and then they
will have their compensation in get
ting a lot of wood ahead which might
pay for the trouble, providing too
many saw blades were not ruined.
There is nothing stated as to the
quality or value of the diamonds,
however, but the gentlemen found
the quarts pebble in the tree all right.
W. H. Instone was in from Lena
Tuesday and states that the snow
out there is gradually melting away
and should soon be gone. The stoek
men still have feed and will get
through in good shape. Mrs. Instone,
who is still in town, is about fully
recovered from her recent severe
operation and will be ready to re
turn home as soon as the weather
settles.
Chas. H. Erwin reached the 38th
milestone in his life on this celestial
aphere last Saturday. To commem
orate this event Mrs. Erwin invited
a few of his close friends .to spend
the evening with him. Cards and a
toothsome lunch interspersed with
musif: and conversation were the
main indulgences at the gathering.

THE COMING REVIVAL.
MEN must turn from the material
madness of this hour.
There is no salvation in the things
of the world.
The kingdoms of this world have
utterly failed to feed the soul, com
fort the heart, bind the bruised spir
it, soothe the aching head, and give
mankind an outlook of hope and sal
vation. Men must come back to God.
They must appeal to Christ.
They must listen to the Holy Spirit
Yea, they must be born again.
Serious men are thinking these
things. Consecrated Christians are
preparing for the coming revival.
There is no repentance after death.
There will be no preaching In hell.
No one will have a chance to be
saved after he has closed his eyes
in death.
Men are staying away from the
church because they are afraid to
Muter, to the gospel. That is a sign
of the coming revival.
Men are dodging minUter. That
is a sign of the movement of the con
science. Evil men are hating and persecut
ing Christian ministers who believe
in the blood of Chrit. That is a
sign of the approaching day of re
pentance. The rustle of the wings of the spir
it of eternal hope and salvation can
be heard.
Ministers and churches should
awake and begin to pray. ,
The revival is coming.

LIVESTOCK PRODUCERS IE EXPECT

Thomas E. Wilson Says Industry Has Eliminated All
Unhealthy Business Conditions and Is In Position
for Year of Profitable Operations, Which Means
More Profits For Livestock Growers.
Written Specially for The Gazette-Times by
THOMAS E. WILSON,
President Wilson & Co., Chicago
, New York, Feb. 21, The meat packing industry has entered upon
an unmistakahly definite period of better business and unless some
severe and unforseen circumstances are encountered, 1923 must be
a year of profitable operation for ourselves as well as the live stock
producers.
If we do not proper in 1923 the fault can properly be traced to those
running this business, for all conditions augur an opportunity that
has been absent in out indusrty for several years past.
ine outlook Is brightened consid
erably by the fact that we entered
upon our fiscal year without being
confronted by an accumulation of
troublesome stocks and other un
healthy conditions which are now
eliminated.
This encouragnig factor is shown
in our current stocks being at a level
that ought to be normally carried and
which should be marketed at a profit.
We find that the demand for our
products is very brisk due to the
greatly improved industrial condi
tions. Fresh meats alone are rarely ever
marketed at a profit; so the free
movement of meat alone does not al
ways indicate profitable operation of
the industry; therefore, our profits
must be realized from the develop
ment and sale of by-products in con
junction with the meat.
Improved industrial and labor con
ditions also have reflected themselves
in a more active demand for our by
products. When there is a quickened demand
by the consumers it is because the
great portion of our people who de
pend upon their labor for wages are
more regularly employed at wages
which permit them to purchase more
liberal supplies of clothing, shoes,
furniture, etc.
Thin immediately is seen by in
creased demands of industry in gen
eral, which requires large quantities
of hides, wool, curled hair, oils, glue,
and many other of our by-products
which are utilized in the manufac
ture of goods rquired by the people.
These are important items of our
business and their free movement on
an active market such as ia indicat
ed for 1923 is of considerable import
ance to our net results for the year.
Prosperity seems to be in the air in
this country. Many factory smoke
stacks which have been but hupe
piles of masonry and brick work for
a couple of years, are again active.
The greater part of our population
which directly depends upon agricul
ture for a livlihood ia finding their
position gradually improved.
The purchasing power of the far
mer is being increased through im
proved markets for their products.
Grain and live atock have shown bet
ter profits for the farmers, especial
ly those who have fed grain to live
stock, thus marketing their grains
on the hoof.
Every indication points toward
progress, though there is serious
thought to be given the foreign situ
ation. It is quite necessary for sta
bility that we have an outlet for our
surplus production. If we make bet
ter progress in this direction this
year, it will not necessarily mean
boom conditions, but will witness a
return to more etable and satisfac
tory times.
Our producers On the farms have
been hard hit just as the packers
were. Those who Buffered because
of the drought are recovering, and
producers everywhere seem to be
working harder to produce on a more
economical basis.
There is now a fine spirit of coop
ration between the live stock pro
ducers and the packers, which should,
through the elimination of wastes,
increasing efficiency, and lowered
costs of production and distribution,
increase the prosperity of both
branches of the industry without in
creasing the relative costs of the con
sumer. 1923 looks promising.
E. R. Huston is able to be back on
the job again at the Phelps Grocery
Co. store, after an enforced layoff of
a couple of weeks, recovering from
an attack of lumbago.

birthday we celebrate this week,
knew about money. He had it. His
words of wisdom were always inspira

spoke, he said :
"Economy makes happy homes and
sound nations. Instill it deep."
Economy is thrift. Guarding well
that which we have saved is important
to thrift. Banks here have a supreme
task to perform to encourage thrift
and to gather money from all sources
and safeguard it for the owners.

That may be left-handed philosophy, if you don't get just
