Reno Divorce "Within Reach of All"

Reno, Nev.-The average cost of
Reno divorce is about $3.50. although
it is possible, with some sharp bar
gaining, to obtain a decree for less.
The minimum fee for an attorney
in an uncontested action is fixed by
the Nevada Bar association at $3.50,
but the actual fee ranges from $50 up.
The fees probably average $3.50 for
the plaintiff, to which is added about
$25 for an attorney for the defendant.
If there is trouble with the defendant
and he refuses to sign power of
attorney or decides to contest the suit,
the costs mount.
Probably the average New Yorker of
moderate means spends about $1,000
for a Reno divorce. including railroad
fare, living expenses for three months
and attorneys fees. However, it is
possible for a person to travel from
New York to Reno and return with

No attorney will advise a person

prospective defendant in the case if it

such divorces, granted by default when
the defendant is not represented in

ranges from $40 to 5000.

Means of Curing Habit
of Self-Sucking by Cow

A COW that sucks her own milk is
as great a nuisance as the hen that
eats her own eggS-and equally I'M
profitable. The vice is not common.
One method of stopping the practice
is to put bull ring in the cows nose
and two or three links of chain on the
ring. When the cow attempts to suck
herself, the chain interferes with
catching the teat. Another method is
to put a bit in the mouth and attach
it with strap over the head. An
improvement suggested on this is to
make a bit of quarter-inch pipe and
drill small holes in it. When the cow
attempts to suck she will draw air
through the bit and soon quit. The
bit does not interfere with eating or
drinking.
