Strum prepared to resume hearings in the Nassau county seat next Monday. Should the pro- posed cross-state canal be linked to the mouth of the St. Marys river instead of the St. Johns, Fernandina would regain ‘its lost prestige.

Newbern, of Newberry, Fla., who recently had a page advertisement in The Key West Citizen advocating state- wide beautification, has spent most of his adult life and much of his-money in per- suading the people of Florida to plant | trees. Since 1922°he has distributed 1,000,- 000 copies of a pamphlet on tree planting ‘and a similar number on the preservation of game in Florida, for he is intensely in- terested also in protecting our wild life, and though he is now unable to continue the distribution of his pamphlets because of his straitened financial circumstances, he is still active in that work, which, eventually, will mean much not only in the beautification of Florida as a result of the planting of trees but also in the enrich- ment of the state. “Plant a tree!” That is the cry he is trying to make reach every part of Flor- ida, and if Floridians generally respond to it and continue to adhere to it, the next generation will see millions of beautiful and valuable trees that are not. now in Florida. Plant a tree yourself, have your wife plant one, your child or children plant one or more, do that throughout the state, Mr. Newbern points out, and the “harvest” that will be reaped in beauty in the years to come will redound to the interests of the state. Plant a tree, plant it in your yard, plant it along the highways, plant it any- where in the state where it will be ac- corded protection, and you may be sure when you plant it that you will be helping yourself in some measure and posterity in a great measure. Aside from his commendable work in preserving wild life in Florida, Mr. New- bern has done incalculable good in pro- moting tree-planting in the state. But he is not satisfied over the success that he has thus far attained. Like all other sincere upbuilders in every walk of life in their anxiety to succeed still more, he is solicit- ous to see his tree-planting efforts result in state-wide beautification, not fitfully here and there, but insistently continuous To try to spur on the people of Flor- ida.in his tree-planting campaign, he day in’and day out, in California, and’ points out that everything that is grown in that state can be grown in Florida and some things can be grown in this state that do not thrive in California. Plant a tree! Don’t wait till tomorrow to plant it, for things that are put off till tomorrow are generally put off altogether. Plant a tree! Plant, it today! SOME FAMOUS DIAMONDS The diamond is the birthstone of those born in April, according to modern usage, although the ancients assigned the sap- phire to this month. The fact is that diamonds, cut and polished as we know them, were unknown prior to about 1476, when this method of bringing out their beauty was discovered. One of the most valuable diamonds in the world is the Regent or Pitt . stone, found in India by a slave and sold to an English ship captain for a small sum in 1701. The following year it was bought by Mr. Pitt, governor of Madras, for about $100,000: Fifteen years later Pitt sold it to the regent duke of Orleans for Louis IV of France, for $648,000. It subsequently adorned the hilt of the sword of state worn by Napoleon I, and is now preserved among the national jewels of France. Its present value is estimated at more than $2,000,000. Among other diamonds of great value and interesting history are the Orloff, which was set in the scepter of the Czar of Russia, having been purchased by Count Orloff for the Empress Catherine in 1772; the Koh-i-noor, which an East Indian legend declares was worn by a native hero 5,000 years ago, and which now belongs to the British crown; and many lesser stones. The largest diamond ever found was the Cullinan, discovered in South Africa in 1905, weighing 3,024 carats, or more than.a pound and a quarter. It was pre- sented to King Edward and cut up, being now. among the crown jewels in the Tower of London. It may be mentioned that the South African diamond fields, which supply more than 95 per cent of the world’s out- put, were discovered in 1866, when a child picked up a stone weighing 21 carats, which was sold in the rough for $2,500.
