Show BEAR RIVER VALLEY LEADER, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1929 Public School Notes MY DOLLS Yesterday I made a dress for each of my dolls. One dress was red, one vas blue, one was yellow and the last one was white. I made them a hood to match. I have a bed for them, too. Today I went over to the neighbor's and took my dolls. They had their new dresses on. The dolls went to bed. We played some games, then I had to go home. Marjorie Hansen, Second Grade. A DIAMOND FIELD We are in Kimberley on the high plateau of South Africa, almost 700 miles nortn or Cape Town, in tne Unlimited Money to LOAN per JOHN J.SHUMWAY 69.a-- 2; a vast, sandy plain, with no trees except those in the city itself. The land is almost a desert. To look at the country one would not suppose it worth anything, and the stranger might ask how this thriving city, with its electric lights, fire, shops, hotels, and daily newspaper came to exist. He might wonder at the well dressed crowds on the streets and at the business which goes on everywhere. He would soon learn that Kimber'.ey is one of the richest towns upon earth. More than 95 per cent of all the diamonds now produced come from this region, and larger, purer, and finer stones are found here than anywhere else. We go to the' shaft and step into the elevator. The guide gives a signal and we sink down, down into darkness, now we pass a tunnel, where half naked natives are blasting out the rock and loading it upon trucks which they shove over tramways to shaft, only to drop again into the darkness and descend until at last we stop more than 1000 feet underground. We see natives, wearing little more than a cloth about the waist. The mine is lighted with electricity, and can see evrything plain as though it were dav. As we walk through the mine we ask our guide if diamonds are not often stolen. He replies that this is sometimes the case, although every precaution is used to avert it. black-skinn- on Irrigated Land. 6 cent. No commissions. Phones: B.

They live in compounds or great open squared lined with the iron sheds where the men sleep and is surrounded by a close, high, iron fence. It has a roof of fine wire netting to prevent any one throwing the diamonds which he may have stolen to his friends outside. The men are carefully watched while at work to see that they do not either swallow the diamonds or conceal them about human persons; and they scrutinize to find whether they have not hidden a stone under their armpits, between the toes, or even in sores made for the purpose in their bodies. Each man is given a new suit of clothes when he enters the mine, and he is stripped and carefully examined before he leaves. In addition to this the law has poignant penalties for buying diamonds of natives or others who cannot show just how they got them.

We had been hoping that old Grandfather Groundhog would not see his shadow when he came out on Feb. 2, but evidently his shadow frightened him back into his den for another six weeks for we have been having very stormy weather since then. Spring brings with it besides fair weather and pretty flowers, trees, grass, and other beautiful scenes, the time for we school children to get a vacation for three months which are very much enjoyed. Margaret Pack, Seventh Grade. MESSENGERS OF SPRING all the spring messen gers very gladly which is of all kinds of birds and flowers and green things. The birds are some of the first mes sengers of spring to come. Then the green grass and green leaves begin to appear.
