Lippe, with only 100 square miles of

formerly supported by the state, are
new in the royal breadIine. The ac-
tual cost of this regal frumpery, in a
strong nation like Germany, was not
necessarily heavy financial burden,
says Binghamton Press. Where it
weighed with crushing effect upon the
life of the country was in its relation
to the rigid caste system. Germany
was stratified. Only the man of ex-
ceptional powers would get from the
bottom to the top. The state was or
ganized expressly to keep the people
in their respective classes, one above
the, other; and the homage paid to
royalty was only the worship offered
to system which fixed one man for
ever in subsection to another.

JUDGE SAYS NO LAW PROHIBITS
 GAME OF CRAPS

TOMBSTONE, Ariz., Dec. IS (by Associated Press) Although Arizona has an anti gambling law, two men shoot craps for money and invite the could get out on the street corner and sheriff to watch them do it-and they could beat the case if arrested, in the opinion of Judge A. c. Lockwood of the superior court of Cochise county He discharged Thomas Ragsdale who was before him on charge of having violated the anti gambling law and who was accused of having shot craps.
 In general, according to the court, the law specifics certain games which are prohibited and erects a complete barrier against all percentage games or those with a banking feature Craps, unless banked, would not fall within either prohibition, he held.
 Inasmuch as crap shooters are be- ing arrested almost daily in various towns of the state, lawyers believe Judge Lockwood's ruling will be used frequently as precedent.

by the chaotic conditions in Europe which led many people to exchange their worldly goods for diamonds, commodity easy to conceal and rela- lively free from depreciation.
 During this period of buying prices for certain grades went much above those set by the diamond syn dicate. Since 1919, although the de- mand for diamonds has been the largest in history, production has been held down, due, it is commonly believed, to the threatened exhaus- tion of the mines. The diamond syn dicate has recently announced that in keeping with it's policy in the past, production will be reduced if neces- sary to maintain it's price level"

US. NOW CHIEF PURCHASER0F
 ARREST GEMS

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-Imports of diamonds into the United States dur ing the fiscal year 1920 were nearly double those of the previous year and more than three times the 1918 total, according to figures given by the Ma tional Bank of Commerce in New York. The value of the 1920 imports was close to 89 millions of dollars, the bank shows in the December num- Der of its magazine, Commerce Month ly.
 "The United States is, and has been for many years, the chief consumer of diamonds and practically the en- tire production of the better class of stones finds it's market in this coun- try" says Commerce Monthly. Form. erly, the American demand was al- together for the cut stones, but ill the last two decades a diamond cutting industry of considerable importance has been established in New York City.
 Imports of uncut diamonds into the United States have greatly in- creased since the beginning of the war In the round shapes American cut diamonds are considered superior to stones finished in Europe and are in almost universal demand by the re- tail trade in the United States.
 "The diamond market is at present the most completely controlled of all commodity markets, the system of control having been greatly strength ened within the past two years. More than 90 per cent of the worlds present supply of diamonds comes from the mines of South Africa. These mines, after years of conflict, have been united and their combined output is now marketed by the dia- mond syndicate of London.
 "The value of diamonds has in- creased almost without a break since the beginning of control. Following the outbreak of war the South Afri- can mines were not operated for number of months. Later, however, 1 a stimulated demand for diamonds ap- peared, caused by the buying of per sons in the United States to whom the war had brought prosperity and

PREDICT LIGHT FUR
 CATCH IN ALASKA

VANCOUVER, B. C., Dec. IS (by Associated Press).-Fur catches will be very light this winter in the Yu- kon Territory and Alaska, on account of a recent drop in the skin market, according to reports from the north. The number of men on the winter trap lines, it is said, will be consid- erably less than last year.
 News of the price drop reached the north early in the summer and many northerners who generally prospect in the summer and trap in the winter spent all the time they could looking for gold with the intention of working this winter.

POLICE CHIEF CITED FOR
CONTEMPT OF COURT

Failure on the part Of Chief of Po-
lice Robert Marshall, of Pleasantville,
to obey a summons of the District
Court resulted in Judge Repetto issu-
ing a rule to show cause why he
should not be cited for contempt of
court. The rule was made r~eturnable
next week.
Chief Marshall, according to Attor-
ney Champion, told a constable who
served the subpoena on him that he
did not intend to be present in Court.
Judge Repetto stated that Marshall
will be brought into Court mex Mon
day when the case is to be tried.
The police official is said to be an
important witness in the action
brought by William A. Clark to collect
$500 damages from Edward Goehler,
both residents of Pleasantville, for al
legged SANDER. The case was listed for
trial last Wednesday and the Court
room was crowded with Pleasantville
residents anxious to hear the testimo-
ny, which is expected to be of an ex-
ceedingly spicy nature.

WHO AM ?"
w

I'm found in air, on land or sea.
I'm as bad a fellow as there can be;
There are no walls either thick or thin,
That can keep me out when I want TO
go in.
l attack and weak, I attack the strong,
l have caused many a good fellow to
&C wrong;
l am found in the church and in the
home,
You are sure to meet me, wherever you
roam.
l have sometimes been beaten, but
more often l win,
l am mostly the foundation of many a
sin;
I come and I go, like a star in the sky,
But will you answer this question:
who am l."
While you are thinking, I'm most like
ly near you,
And if you will listen, I will tell you
this, too;
Satan himself is no worse a founda-
ton,
Still we're closely related, for I am
Temptation.

automobile tour of New England
States, it was agreed that the first of

ed in honor of Clayton Ingersoll and
his bride. The table presented a typ
ical Thanksgiving scene with a huge
turkey and all the f1xins, and a happy
occasion was enjoyed in consuming
the good things and in dancing and
games. Congratulations and best
wishes galore were showered upon the
honorees, and there was much specu-
lation as to who would be the next to
join the army of b%enedicts. Enjoying
the occasion were Mr.. and Mrs. Clay
ton Ingersoll, Misses Hazel Hoxton,

street crossings in this city, at one of
which an accident occurred recently in
which one of our most prominent citi-

PLEASANTVILLE BOY
DEFEATS JOE YELLING

Tommy Warren, of Pleasantville,
was easily the master of Philadelphia
Joe yelling on Thursday night of
last week in the windup of the weekly
show at the Northside Athletic Club,
Atlantic City. Warren had a bewilder-
ing jab and yelling took plenty of
punishment during the eight rounds
of the bout. The Philadelphia boxer.
however, was game, and although
almost continually on the receiving
end, came back for more. Warren is
an alert fighter and gives promise of
being one of the seasons sensations
in the ring.
