What People Say
and Some Side Remarks.

Just how "big" is Fairmont? The
Question that is bothering so many
people in connection with the 1920 cen'
sus was touched upon indirectly by
Richard Aspincll, who was recently
elected governor of the Sixth district
of Rotary and takes office July 1, at a
talk to The Fairmont Rotary club
Thursday. He sized up" Fairmont,
by saying:
''Fairmont~is a medium sized
city and New York is large city,"
Aspinall's asides do much towards
making his addresses interesting.
When telling of Mormon bishop who
controls the finances of that great
church, an immense organization, he
;Tf financial standing is any
thing"
It Is the democracy of Rotary that
provides the most inspiration for
Prof. Asphalt, who declares:

In the sudden death of John T. McGraw, of Grafton,
West Virginia loses another forceful and familiar figure
John McGraw had most of the qualities necessary to
successful leadership and in the affairs of the Demo-
cratic party he doomed much larger and welded more
real influence than did many men who were better bust
ness men than he In life he made many enemies
but he will be sincerely mourned by large number who
stuck to him through all his political and business bat
ties.

ARE MELTING ENGLISH COINS

Counterfeiting has been considered a rather lucrative, if somewhat hazard ous occupation. But, with the value of the metal in a pound sterling some thing more than one-fourth greater than the monetary value of the coin, England now is worried not so much over a surfeit of spurious coins, as over the difficulty of retaining such gold coins as it has.
 Each week, in recent months, as the value of currency has steadily de- clined, an increasing number Of per sons have presented Bank of England notes to the bank with a demand for gold in exchange. Though treasury notes are legally exchangeable for quired, where demanded, to make the exchange in gold. Some of these pa irons, of course, have been influenced solely by suspicion of paper money, but there is another class, detectives assert, that is purchasing gold coins at the Bank of England and melting them up to sell as bullion.
 The other day little group of six men and one woman was arrested by Scotland Yard operatives and ac- cused of this practice. which con- stitutes a violation of the Defense Of the Realm act In their possession were found 3,400 gold sovereigns, in addition to several thousand pounds of treasury and Bank of England notes. Under normal conditions, and a nor mai rate of exchange, these coins would be worth approximately $17,o0O in American money. But such is the of the yellow metal in bullion is worth some $7 more than the face value of coins containing an equal amount Thus, as bullion, the 3,400 SoverelgnS
