In Turkey and certain parts of Asia,

Of floral and plant offerings in homage
to the dead has been general from
time immemorial. The ancient Greeks
not only strewed flowers over the
grave. but also planted asphodel and

plants were supposed to serve as food

attributed a special value to the rose

National prosperity is thus defined

when the sword is rusty, the pillow

the bakers on horseback and the men

cipal speech. could not be present. and

Idaho induced Congressman Newlands
to take his place. The substitute easily

He drew a picture Of the convent

out water and showed what they could
be made by the beneficient use Of the
stored floods that now 60 to waste in

dairies and bee farms and potato field
and hay fields of the irrigated lands OF
Nevada the audience was at first in
credulous. but as figure after figure of
growth and production was given by the
speaker. who seemed to be a living
encyclopedia Of Nevada's products,
doubt changed to applause for the small
est State population in the Union.
Congressman Newlands spoke warm
ly for his State that bore all the bur-
dens Of Government and got none Of
the plums, because Its rivers were not
navigable and Of harbors 1t had none.
But he told Of the gold and silver lodes
that made the United States solvent
when the war had weakened her credit
and of the sacrifices her people had
made that had left them poor while
they had enriched the whole country.
Such plucky championship Of his
State before delegates from all parts Of
the Union made a hit, and F. G. New
lands left the hall the hero of the oc-
casion.
