The hope of the Administration
is, however, that the definite fix
ing of a top price for gold, serving
notice on all the world that the dol
lar is now worth no more than
sixty percent of its former value,
will go a long way toward remov-
ing uncertainties which have kept
private capital in hiding. Every
holder of gold securities now knows
that he cannot get more than 60
percent of their former gold value
for them. Every creditor know,
that dollars he is going to collect
from his debtors will be worth only
six-tenths O fwhat they were if thu
standard of measurement be gold
But the Administrations view il
that a dollar will remain a dollar
so long as it is backed by the credit
Of the Government, and that 'credi1
has net been impaired, nor is i
likely to be impaired SO long as TIN
Immense gold reserve behind tn
currency is maintained.
Whether or not this latest none

may or way not. 1t may turf

the President, that nothing which

s'We'Il really have the old man frozen out when his payment comes due next Saturday, and then the best piece of mining property on the Mother Lode will be oursi" Bob Fletcher was talking elatedIy to his partner, Blackie Ellis, as they pushed their way through the crowd that assemblies each year in Angels Camp to see the interna- tional frog-jumping contest of Calaveras county.
 He's got all but $400 or $500 tied up in new machinery and can't possibly realize anything from the mine for two months. He couldn't raise a thousand bucks with a gun and mask" Bob continued.
 "Yeah, we've got him on our hip, all right" Blackie retorted smil- ingly.
 The Angels Camp celebration was nearing its heights The an- nual stage-coach robbery had been held, and Joaquin Murietta, Mother Lode's most notorious bandit, had been hanged again in eff1gy. All of the Angels Camp citi- zens wore months growth of beard, custom always observed for the annual '49 celebration.
 Wide-open gambling was preva- lent in several business houses, with the main casino located in a modern garage. Despite the fact that prohibition still existed, liquor was to be had for the purchasing,

His beard exceeded those of the Angels Camp citizens in both age and length. His best suit. bought immediately after the World War, was threadbare and badly wrinkled.
 He slowly worked his way through the masses until he reach- ed the Chamber of Commerce of- fee.
 "I've got frog here that's gonna win the contest today" he told the clerk, "and want to make, the official entry. His name is Bonan- ga. Whats more, I'll bet $500 against a thousand that he beats the whole field"
 Bob Fletcher and Blackie Ellis had entered in time. to hear the last statement.
 Here's where we sure enough freeze out the old fool" Bob whis- pered. Taking one frog against a field of 154 is positively crazy. Why it might not do anything but hop off the mark. Plenty of them do no more than that" Fletcher stepped over to Uncle Joe

 The May sun was beaming down
 with all it's power when time for the contest arrived. The asphalt pavement on Angels Camps main thoroughfare, where the contest was to be held, was intensely hot. Two sections were roped off for | the contests. Circles about six
 inches in diameter were made on
 the pavement with blue chalk, the
 frogs were placed on the circles in rapid succession and the jumping
 began.
 i Uncle Joe stayed in the back ground, sitting on the locked box. He was in easy hearing range Of the man calling the jumps. Sacramento Jumped eleven feet nine inches, a good leap. Pioneer Chief beat Sacramento by an inch.
 Many had to be prodded with a stick and responded by merely hob i bling a few inches. one ring completed their jumps
 and reported eleven feet three inches to be the best distance. In- terest centered on the champions

 At last the big moment arrived for Uncle Joe's Bonanza. Many spectators had left the contest be-
 cause of the intense heat reflected
 by the pavement, feeling certain
 the Big Nuggets leap would be an l easy winner.
 Box and all, Uncle Joe pushed his way toward the ring. The crowd
 burst into laughter as the old man
 brought forth key and opened the paddock. He reached far into the | box, stirred around a bit and
 brought forth his prize entry, Bon- anza.

 backed away in confusion to make
 way for Bonanza.
 Uncle Joe stood breathless1y as
 the jump was measured.
 "The winner" shouted the off1-
 cial in charge, "is Bonanza with q
 leap of twelve feet and eleven
 inches"
 Uncle Joe, with Bonanza held | tightly in his calloused hand, did not wait for. congratulations. He
 hurried toward the chamber of
 commerce to meet the stakeholder. Bob Fletcher and Blackie Ellis were not so enthusiastic. "He certainly took close care of that old frog, didn't he?" Bob re-
 marked as he looked at the box Uncle Joe had left behind. ''Well, I'll be-. Look at this, will you? No wonder that frog jumped when he was put down on the hot pavement. It looks as
