SEAL R!?."S• AN AICTLIWO.
They Wore Them in Rome in the Days
of the Empire.
Themodern
ringthe worn h y
business man and ocass:onally used to
seal important letters and documents,
had its origin in the early empire and
has come down through the centuries
virtually unchanged.
Each ring bears in iutagillo the cant
of arms or crest, duplication of which
by any outsider constituted a crime.
Thee jewels show plainly the influ-
ence of times and conditions; trace
victories and conquests and reflect the
snceeSOive graduations of the early
Romans from the summit of wolld
power to decadence. For instance,
the passion for engraved gems was
plainly stimulated after Pempey's vic-
tories fn the East. The conquests of
Greece and Etruria are plainly reflect-
ed in the infusion of delicate handi-
craft and Etruscan artists, taken cap-
tive to, Rome.
Compared with the jewelry of other
ancient nations, the distinctly Roinan
jewels are held to possess the advant-
age of color and strength in design
and workmanship. Its characteristic
features were broad surfaces, massive
construction and the use of -large
stones,
Under the Roman republic the use
of precious stones was prohibited ex-
cept
xcept In rings, but in imperial times
they were worn In such lavish profu-
sion that successive laws were made
in an effort to correct wild extravag-
ance. Pliny describes a girl who at
her betrothal ceremony was covered
with pearls and emeralds from head to
feet,
Reflecting the decadence of this
period is the fact that rings were worn
by men in senseless profusion. Mar-
tial speaks of exquisite who wore
six on every finger, and bad different
sets for winter and summer.
Bracelets were also worn in large
numbers, the design of a celled ser-
pent being very popular. This is be-
lieved to have been an importation af-
ter Pompey's Oriental conquests.
GERMAN UNDERSEAS
CABLES ARE SSPOILS OF WAR
A despatch from Paris says:-Da-
vid
ays: Da-

tled the question of the German

reached that the cables were spoils
of war and belong to those powers
which took possession of them.

THE POWER OF A TEN DOLLAR BILL
Consider the POWER of a Ten Beller Bill when -it is spent AT HOME. It Is like MAGIC. It CIRCU-
LATES, It pays off a HUNDRED obligations. It creates BUSINESS and puts people to WORK in our commune
ty. But the ten' dollar bill that is sent away to the out-of-town house does NOTHING for OUR town. It be-
comes DEAD to US. It is out of commission forever as far as OUR town is concerned. We NEVER see it again.
Let US, then, give POWER to the money we SPEND. Let us remember that our BEST investment is that
POWER -MONEY that we spend at HOME.

GERMAN DELEGATES AT
VERSAILLES BUY UP SOAP
A despatch from Versailles says: -
Germany's peace delegates passed
the best part of their first day here
blaspheming the weather, in common
with other residents in this rainy,
,windy; chilly township. The second
preoccupation of most of them, from
Count von Brockdorff Rantzau down,
was the acquisition of soap., The
barber shops near the three hotels
where the Germans are quartered
were emptied of their stocks of soap
before noon. In search of the pre-
cious. substance a party of German
newspaper correspondents strolled
far afield. Their appearance excited
adverse comment among the Versail-
les citizens, and, although the hostile
display was limited to prolonged hiss-
ing and hooting, M. Houd'aille, who
has charge of the police arrange-
ments, gave the indiscreet soap
hunters a severe warning against
roaming beyond the immediate sur-
roundings of their billets.

HOLLAND WILL OWE
UP THE ER -KAISER
A despatch from Amsterdam
ear; -The Dutch newspapers, ex-
cepting one thus far have not com-
mented on the proposal to try former
Emperor William of Germany. The
exception is the Telegraaf, which in
an editorial, says the extradition of
the one -tine Emperor will not con-
flict with Holland's national' right of
sanctuary.
"The ex -Kaiser," says the news-
paper, "would not be prosecuted
because of his intention to place
Deutschland Uber Allies; but on ac-
count of actions which plunged the
world into misery and a repetition of
which would be contrary to the vital
interests of the Dutch people."
PASSED DEMARCATION LANE

A despatch from Vienna says: -
Seventeen thousand. Jugo-'Slav troops
Monday night attacked Caeinthan
troops, numbering 4,000, in the sec-

marcation 'line fixed by the Armistice
Commission by six miles. Th,•Jugo-
Slays Wednesday crossed the brave
River at several points and cut the
line to 'Arnoldstein and Klagenfurt,
preventing communication by Ger-
man -Austria and Italy.
{great Britain to Exchange
Prisoners With Bolshevists
A despatch from London says: -
The British Government announces
that the Bolshevist Government has
made 'a proposal to exchange the
members of the British military mis-
sion to the caucus for certain Rus -
than subjects now in the hands of
the British Government. It is also
announced that negotiations are pro-
ceeding for 'the exchange of all Bri-
tish prisoners in the hands of the
Bolshevists.
Relic of the Romans.
There is a showcase in the British
Museum that is proving very interest-
ing to soldiers who are waiting for
their discharge certificates. It is a
case in the Roman British section con -
tabling the discharge certificates given
to soldiers in Britain in the time of
the Romans. The bronze certificates
are quaintlly worded, and record the
fact that the holders,"discharged hon-
orably after 25 years off, service," are
granted Roman citizenship if not al-
ready held, "and the recognition of
their marriage with those who see
their wives, or, in case of unmarried,
any wives they may subsequently
marry, provided they only have Otte
each." The last sentence, in particu-
lar, amuses the khaki visitors.
