Some wag was heard to remark that
he didn't know there were SO many
fathers and sons in the world and
that If Cody fathers continued to &C
quire IONS it would soon be necessary
to engage the Natural Corral to hold
their annual banquet.
There were few, IL any, less than
three hundred fathers and son pres
ent at the gathering and the big base
ment was literally filed to overlooking
as many took their meal standing
against the wall.
Mirth and jollity pervaded the at
mosphere, and from a standpoint of
sheer enjoyment and the good accom-

1t is useless to attempt to comment
on the many speeches that were made
during the evening or try to compare
them with regard to merit, for each
seemed to be perfect in its place and
of such distinctively high class that
comparisons are odorous."
Every angle of the life relationship
between the boy and the father was
handled in a mastery manner and
every speech was greteed with hearty
applause and unfeigned enthusiasm
The speakers of the evening, on the

MAN WINS
A $4,000 SUIT

Tonopah Times: M. Cohn, the
Main street dry goods merchant, re-
turned Sunday from attending q To-
day session of the district court at
Yerington where he was successful in
establishing his claims to one half
interest In the placer ground In Gold
Canyon. between Dayton and Silver
City. in Lyon County, with an esti-
mated value of $150.00e.
Mr.. Cohn became interested In the
ground in 1900. The area involved
is $40 acres, all OF which Is valuable
for p~lacering and on which one huge
dredge is now operating and paying
its earnings into court, pending final
adjudication of the rights. j. H. Rae,
the defendant, was alleged to have
secured title to the ground from M.
Cohn by false pretenses under. which
MI. Cohn signed a deed prepared by
his attorney. transferring the prop
ertyerty to Rae. After the deed was
delivered Rae organized the Rae Gold
Dredging Company. The sensation
OF the trial was when one of the at
torneys for Mr.. Cohn called Rae to
the stand as the first witness for the
plaintiff. Mr.. Treadwell is ONE Of the
best known lawyers on the Pacific
coast and has a retainer of $4,000 a
year from the Mfiler-Lux Company.
After less than one hours delibera-
ton the jury returned a verdict In

PEDDLED BEEF H
PROPER HIDE

Elko Free Press: E. G. Timm, ar
rested last Wednesday charged with
selling dressed beef and not display
ing the hide, was brought up in the
justice court last Friday for hearing.
The case had been set for the previ-
GUS day, but the defendant demanded
a jury trial, and a sufficient number
of citizens were on hand to fill the
jury box.
After the case was called the de-
PENDANT asked who the jurymen were
and after being given their names.
he turned to the court and said:
Your honor, / want to withdraw my
plea of not guilty and enter one of
guilty" He was acting as his own
attorney.
This the court allowed and a plea
of guilty was entered and at four o.
clock Judge Doughty passed sentence,
fining him the sum of $3.50 and i'm
posing a term in the county jail Of
ninety days.
The defendant was at once taken
to jail where he began serving his
sentence, and 1t is said that he has no
funds and must serve out the fine at
the rate of two dollars per day, which
will give him a jail sentence of about
eight months.
We understand that the stoekmen
had decided to bring a second charge
against him for killing cattle on the
range, but they are now satisfied with
the severity of the sentence and will
drop the other charge.

SETTING EUROPE UP N BUSINESS AGAIN

Austria-nnd themselves without
money.
Our problem is to help them to get
money again-gold or silver. We
must loan them a stack Of chips II
they are ever going to be able to sit
in on the game again. We have
enough metal In our treasury-there-
fore. the justification that existed not
long ago for the governmental slim
ulation OF gold production no longer
holds, and we cannot argue It. We
must now find some way of distribut-
ing our metallic reserve In part
among the other nation members of
our world OF trade. But when we
take our eyes off from the comfortab-
~ fixed United States-since she has
raked in the whole poland visual
ize the necessity OF again distributing

after all. for the vastly increased
trade demands and for the vast NOR
ern ~currencies which must be sup
ported?
Great as is the store Of gold in the
world, as compared with former
times, 1t is relatively less, when we
consider the increased wealth which
1t represents and the trade II must
accomplish. Our position is strength
ened through increased reserves of
gold and silver, and the covering into
the United States Treasury, for use as
money Through the Pittman Act),
of all the silver produced In the Unit
IL Ok,koc Thfo mill m ON for onpno
years. Our gold and silver is at a
fixed ratio-20 to l.. practically. or,
to be exact, $20.67 to 81.
The unstabilized price of silver in
the outside world has fiuctuated as
widely, almost, as the exchanges.
Therefore, the silver money of the
world, primarily intended as a medi-
um of trade, has become an object of
trade, has been melted down and
sold outside the countries of issue,
thus further stripping these unhappy
nations of that money without which
they cannot go on.
All of these countries have plenty
of goods to barter-it is money they
need. and that money must be gold
or silver. Under these conditions 1t
is a waste to use more than a mini
mum of gold and silver in the arts;
but to use silver as a commodity to
be bought and sold at a 1uctuating
price and for speculative purposes
not only destroys its use as money but
also its usefulness for this capacity.
Hence, European countries are re-
verting to metallic tokens of minor
value or none-a debased silver al

France.

NEW SILVER DOLLAR
READY FOR DISTRIBUTION

Washington, Dec. 31.-The new
silver dollar of the 1921 design-the
peace dollar-will be ready for dis
tribution Tuesday, 1t raj said to-day
at the treasury. Coinage of the new
dollar is being rushed by the Phila-
delphia mint, officials said. The first
dollar of the new series struck of has
been presented to President Harding.
The new dollar has the head of
Liberty ON n side and on the other
a dove upon a mountain top. clutch
ing an olive branch, struck bythe rays
Of the sun, with the word peace"
beneath 1t. This is the first change
in the design of the dollar since 1878,
officials said. and will remain as the
design of the dollar for twenty-five
years, unless changed by legislation.
About 100000 Of the new dollars
probably will be coined with the date
of 1921, and after that the dollar
will carry date of the year in which
1t is struck Off. Efforts are being
made, 1t was explained. to complete
the coinage of at least half a million
of the new dollars with the 1921 date
in order to avoid a scarcity Of the
coin which would result in a premi-
UNI being placed upon them by num-
ismatists.
There will be in all about 100000
900 dollars Of the new design. coined,
1t was said. Coinage of silver dollars
ceased in 1904, 1t was explained.
when the silver purchases authorized
by the Sherman act had been com
pleted; but 1t was resumed again In
February Of this year, when the pur-
chase of silver was begun under the
Pittman Act to replace the dollars
melted and sold to the British gov
eminent during the war.

BIG CIRCULATION
CONTEST RAGING
Coup of Petit arisien Precipi-
tates Bitter Newspaper
Battle in France

Paris, Dec. differentiation Is the
direct cause Of the bitterest war Paris
has aver known, which Is now raging
throughout France among the great
Paris and provincial papers.
On one side is the great Petit-Par-
isien, with the largest circulation on
earth-something over 1,S0O, 900 cop
les daily-and on the other almost
every paper of any Importance in
France.
During the war, when the evacua-
ton of Paris and its capture by the
Germans was looked upon as a prob
able eventuality, the Petit-Parisien
erected a huge. plant at Tours, in the
center of France, and prepared to
shift its entire force there.
But Paris was never taken and the
plant remained unused until a few
days ago, when the Petit-Parisien be-
gan printing an edition for the center
and south Of France there. BY null
tiple telegraph and telephone lines
the whole Paris edition Is telephoned
to Tours and reproduced there. This
permits the Petit-Parisien to put its
papers in southern towns twelve
hours before any other Partisan news
paper.
Not only that; but the Petit-Par-
isien announces, through Jean Dupuy,
its owner-manager, that it intends
erecting similar plants at other STRAIT
egic points, such as Bordeaux, Stras-
bourg, Marseil1es and Lyons.
AS soon as the Matin, Echo de Par
is, Figaro, Petit-Journal, Journal and
other papers heard of these inten-
tions, they held a meeting, decided
that the Petit-P arisien intended to.
put their provincial editions out of
business, and appealed to Dupuy to
his project. To their pro-
test was Joined hat of hundreds of
provincial newspapers which also
would heavily feel the competition
of the Petit-P arisien.
Dupuy fatty refused to retract. His
plans, he said, were made In the in
terests of the French people, so that
they might be served with news up
to the minute no matter where they
lived. He pointed out that people in
out-of-the-way towns in the south and
north of France often had 10 wait
t~wenty-four hours for the Paris pa
pers to arrive before they knew the
days events.
T%hereupon the rival papers held
another meeting and announced a
huge boycott Of the Petit-Parisien.
They informed all the newsdealers
that II they sold the Petit-P arisien
they would not be allowed to sell any
other paper. Then they inaugurated,
at tremendous expense, special trains
from Paris to all parts of France so
that their editions would arrive and
be on sale on equality with the Petit
Parisien.
Dupuy retaliated by forming his
own distribution agencies and thus
far the Parisien has been circulated
about as before.
The costs of the war are reck-
oned as about $4,000 a day to the
rival papers and $4,000 a day to the
Petit-Parisien. So far the latter shows
no sign of giving in.

Developments in the local political
arena have been rather slow and very
little interest is being manife Tested in
the coming city election, although here
and there it is limited sthat there will
be opposition for some offices. The
election takes place on Tuesday, March
IL, the same day as the county dele
gate election. 81
Few voters in Little Falls perhaps
realize that at the coming city election,
they will be. called upon to ballot on
all city Offices. This was brought
about through the new charter which
fixes the terms Of all elective city Of
fcials at two years except the munich
pal judge, whose term is fixed by law
at four years and that term expires
this year. Officials to be elected are
mayor, city assessor, city treasurer, mu.
nicipal judge, two justices Of the peace,
one constable, one alderman-at-large
and two aldermen from each Of the
four wards. To date, the only present
incumbents to announce their candi-
dacy for reelection are four aldermen,
Brown and Raymond from the Second
ward and n. j. and Geo. II. Peterson
from the Third ward. -. ~
