tion of copper coins. the jewellers
concluded not to embellish the
popular Lincoln cents In any way,
and there the matter ended.
1t often happens that some body
digs up a gold or silver coin of an
ancient vintage and gets q desire
to have his monogram nicely
engraved on it for use as an orna-
ment. Jwelers frequently get
requests to do such work, but
there again the law comes in.
Cutting a monogram on a coin
lightens it and again brings you
into the class of those who tamper
with the currency.
On the other hand, suppose you
ask jeweler to cut a gold dollar
in the shape of 4 diamond and
make stickpin out of it. This he
would gladly do. and with such a
pin in YOUR scarf you could go into
the treasury building at Washing

ton.

lightened your gold piece, but you
would also have destroyed it COM

Sam wouldn't have word to say

USE OF COINS IN
JEWELRY IS ILLEGAL

The use of coins for jewelry is
not so popular today as it was
once, say the jewelers.. Never the
less. coins are still used to some
extent'in this way and that is VIII,
Washington jewellers we're interes ST.
ed in a report from Denver
recently that out there the local
head of the secret service had re-
eceived orders from the treasury
department to see that the federal
statute regarding the DETACHMENT
Of current COINS was enforced.
This law which is section $3.50
Of The revised statutes, has been a
sort of ,bugaboo for jewellers for
many years because from time to
time the use of certain coins in
jewelry has been a fad, and not
every jeweler has been aware just
to what extent it came within the
law. For instance, a man may
have one of the old gold dollars
and have hankering to wear it
on his wa'ch chain. The simplest
way of doing this is to take it 20 d
jeweler and get him to punch a
hole in it.
No doubt there ar q good many
people who woul d be surprised at
the curt refusal they would get
from most jewelers. if sush re-
quest we're made. Should a
jeweler accommodate you the
secret service man who caught
you wearing that punctured coin
on your watch chain could put you
in Jail and the jeweler, too, and it
wouldn't make a bit of difference
how old the coin was you were
wearing. Curiously enough, you
would be in the same class with the
counterfeiter and the man who
plugs coins.
Not long ago when the Lincoln
cent first came out some of
the jewelers., struck by the artistic
merit Of the coine and the popu-
larity they met with, thought it
would be q nice thing to make use
of them to be used for watch
charms and brooches and pins.
Then some Of them happened to
think of the law, and decided to
find out how far they could 20.

COMP AIlT AGAINST
Thu j Of n

In rural precincts there is much
complaint against the manner in
which the agricultural department
of the state university Is conducted
at the present time, which requires
that applicants shall hav. passed
a credible examination in high
school work. In the same course
at Logan, Utah, students are ad-
mitted upon eighth grade diplomas,
and as natural consequence the
farmer boys from eastern Nevada
60 to Logan for their agricultu1 al
ira mig.
In most instances it is a struggle
and a great hardship for boys and
girls in rural disticts to att. nd
school. Many of these little PEG
ole are compelled to wade through
snow from one to several miles in
order to secure eighth grade certi-
ficates. There are very few parents
among the ranchers who can afford
TO send their children to the county
nigh school, and therefore they are
cut off from the advantages of
attending the agricultural depart
ment of the state university. AS
a matter of fact the farmers ARE
the bone and sinew of this state,
for when the camps lgo down and
out, as they often do. it is the
farmer and bis children who re-.
main and hold the valleys from
deteriorating into a desert waste
1t l.. not essential that. in order
to study for agricultural pursuits
a young man should pass through
a county high school, and by SO
ruling the University of Nevada is
denying the boys from the farm
the very advantages for which the
agricultural establishment was
created.
Nevada has unlimited agricult-
uarl possibilities, its university
should be conducted upon as liberal
lines as that of Utah. Hard head
ed farmers, who work from FIVE
o'clock in the morning until late at
night, are of the opinion that it is
not necessary for their sons to
acquire dead languages and
higher mathematics before receiv-
ing instruction in soils. .fertiliza-
ion and agriculture. and they are
eminently correct.
What our farmers demand, and
have = right to expect, is that
their sons be given the same op-
potunities in their native state as
are offered them IN Utah. Ely

GOVERNOR ODD|E FIGHTS BACK

Verify. the republican party has
fallen upon evil times. Rent IL
twain in the nation by the bitter
fight between Taft and Ro Jscvelt,
the party of deceit and fraud is
torn by factional fights in many Of
the states. In Illinois Lorimerism
divides the scrappers after spoils.
In Nevada. it is Oddieism that
divides the sheep from the goats.
This issue is made clear by the
Reno Gazette, the leading republi
can paper of the state, in its
Saturday issue. A whole page Of
that number is devoted to Governor
Oddie and his failure to make good

But while the editor was penninr

that gentleman was preparing the
following courteous W epistle to
separate the editor from his job:

Sir--You having been this day
removed by me as a member of the
Panama.Pacific international Ex-
position Commission for Nevada to
which you were appointed at your
urgent solicitation and request
some months ago. Since the 18th
day of March. your presence on
the board has been detrimental to
the state and offensive to the
authorities in charge of the EXPOSE
ton, for reasons which more fully
appear in a letter received by me
on March 25th from Mr.. Cum
ming, secretary to President
Moore of the Exposition, the fol-
lowing of which is copy:
"Panama-Pacfic International
Exposition, San Francisco,
March Gath, 1912.
Hon. Tasker L. Oddie,
o. Governor of Nevada.
Dear Governor Oddie:
We have just received in our
clippings an editorial from the
Reno Gazette of March 18th, 1912,
headed "The Overlook" a copy of
which l enclose.
President Moore wishes TO ex-
press his regret that any newspaper
in Nevada should publish such an
editorial and he wishes you to
know Of it as it might be repeated
by other papers and create an
unfavorable sentiment toward the
Exposition.
AS President Moore knows you
would regret that fully as much
as the Exposition management and
lie ia confident that the latter is
safe in your hands, he brings it to
your attention to take whatever
steps you may deem advisable.
Yours very truly,
JOS. M. CUMMING,

The Horse.

The reins may guide the horse. the
bit may inspire him by its careful ma
nipulation and the whip may urge him
forward to greater ambition. but the
human voice is far more potent than
all these agencies. Its FIRING tones
will more quickly dispcl & fright. its
sharp. clear. electric commands will
more thoroughly arouse his ambition
and its gentle. kindly praises will more
completely encourage the intelligent

The most made over statue in the

Of France and was the work of a Ro
man sculptor who started for France
with the statue. but was captured on
the way by an English warship,
France and England were then at war.
and the box containing the statue was
taken on board the English vessel with
other spoi!s.
When Sir Richard Holmes. the Eng
fish commander. examined it and found
the head was unfinished he ordered the
sculptor to complete it in his own
likeness. and SO the heroic figure that
was intended to represent Il French
monarch was turned into an officer of
the English navy.
When Sir Richard was made COVER
nor of the Isle Of Wight in 1861 he
presented the statue Of himself to the
Yarmouth church. Half Il century
after his death Il statue of st. John
was desired for n certain niche in the
church. and an English sculptor was
called in to chisel out the face and
naval hat of Sir Richard and make
them over into the benign features and
flowing locks Of the saint.

THREE YEARS FOR
SCOTT And DRAPER
PAIR ARRESTED IN NORTH pA
koTA SENT TO MANITOBA
PENiTENTlARY FOR
FORGERY.

Portage la Prairie, Man, Jan. ILL.,
+. u. Draper and Earl Scott, both Of
whom were charged with forgery at
Portage la Prairie, Man. were SEN
fenced to three years in the stony
Mountain penitentiary In Manitoba.
Draper, who waived extradition pro.
ceedings and who turned states evil
dence against Earl Scott, his partner,
failed to secure l~eniency at the hands
Of the court, the presiding Justice re-
fusing to grant him a short term on
the ground that his steps were evil
IDENTIFY taken for just that purpose,
and were not prompted by motives
Of justice.
The most important feature of the
trial of Earl Scott, who pleaded not
guilty, was the evidence given by
Draper. Draper declared that he had
been led into the forgery plan by
Scott, and that the latter had laid all
the plans for the crooked work. In
fact, Draper went SO far as to declare
that Scott had compelled him to carry
out the proposition.
In the forgery Of three checks the
two men had been successful in rails
ing $45, and of that amount Scott had
received $21, the remainder going to
Draper.
Both men had previous police Fec
ords.
Scott was taken into custody at
Grand Forks by Sergeant Hager while
he was engaged in buying a supply
of cartridges, revolvers and hack saws.
The saws were confiscated by the po-
lice department.
At the time there was no evidence
at Grand Forks to the effect that the
men were wanted in Canada, and they
were released. Shortly afterwards
Scott was captured in Winnipeg and
Draper vas arrested at Fargo, N. D.,
and taken to Portage la Prairie for
trial.
