A week ago and our beloved state was
smiling and happy On Sunday all our
flags were placed at half mast and a
condition of sorrow and depression pass
ed throughout the state as the result
of the death of one man. A man occu-
plying the highest position in the state.
Personally known to many of you and
loved by all who knew him and re-
spected by all who came in contact with
him. A man who closed life of great
and noble deeds with the words:
II am not afraid to die. I've done my
best all my life and am ready to 60"
Through turmoil, almost amounting
to internecine strife, John Sparks stored
the ship of state to a safe harbor. To
day his body lies in the tomb and the
destinies of the state are transferred
to another hand. Tomorrow and we
shall have joined him.
Large of stature, large of heart large
of mind and of idea was John Sparks.
To few is it given to he as sincerely
mourned, mourned not only by friends
and those of the same political opinions
but also by all, without regard to the
lines of the past. His life is written in
indelible characters upon the pages of
Nevada's record as state. His in
fiuence will live long after his body has
crumbled to dust. Though his ashes
may be inferred in the cold, cold ground
the warm humanity of his life will re-
main in the memory of his friends and
acquaintance like rare perfume"
Of him it has been said:
'tHe was the soul of honesty and the
type of liberality.
HE has not only been citizen in
fact but citizen in deed.
HE aimed to do what was right and
to do his duty as he saw it without fear
and without reproach
His generous nature was grand and
noble and his every act was prompted
by the pnrest motives and the interests
of the state he loved and served so well.
He was prone to regard all men as
having some element of good i'll their
composition and he acted on that idea"
The words of the immortal bard apply
to him:
His life was gentle and the elements
so mixed in him
That nature might stand up and say to
all the world:
This was a mani
Friend and foe, acquaintance and
stranger each today mourn John
Sparks.
Dr.. Clark was listened to with wrapt
attention and his address made mark
ed impression upon all who heard it.
At the conclusion of the exercises in
the hall, a procession was formed and
the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs, fol-
lowed by citizens, marched to the l. o.
O. F. cemetery, where the Memorial
services adopted by the Sovereign
Grand Lodge were performed and
flowers strewn on the graves. After
which, the procession reformed and
returned to town.

Must a promissory note be indorsed by

If a promissory note is correct in
every particular except the name of

There is no reason why the holder
of promissory note should indorse
the same when the maker pays the
amount thereof. CD This question is
one that involves legal construction
which this department does not give.

vests could be obtained by deep plow-
ing and probably shorter period of
resting the soil be allowed. The Boliv-
ian farm laborer turns up about four
inches of soil with his wooden beam
plow, or pronged stick. However, the
ground is plowed twice before it is
planted. The rainy season on the
plateau generally lasts from Novem
ber through February. In March, when
the earth is soft, the land that has been
resting is plowed and left till Septem-
ber. when it is plowed again and sown
in time to give the growing crops the
benefit of the rains.
The idea of the government in i'm
porting improved farm implements is
to employ them at the agricultural
school in order to illustrate their eco
nomic advantages and to secure their
introduction among the big and little
farmers. Not much, however, has yet
been done in the way of demonstration.

of the manufacturers who have secured
the initial orders from the govern
ment and from private parties have
been at pains to provide means of
practical demonstration, but unless this
is done the results will be disappoint-

not take to modern plow by instinct.
He must see it working and be taught
how to handle it
While at some seasons the central
plateau has an abundance of water the
distribution of the rainfall is not
equable enough to dispense with arti-
ficfal means. A few windmills are
found and at all seasons the winds
sweep across the pampa with ample
force. Two aeromotors have been i'm
ported from France by the govern
ment, and one of them has been erected
near Sicasica. which is on the dividing
ridge of the plateau. Nine we'll drill
ing machines have been imported from
pennsylvania for the government ac-
count and two of these will be set up
on the table land, one having been
loaned to the railway company for use
in the station grounds at Cruro. In
purchasing these drills the precaution
has been taken to insure the practical
demonstration of their utility by bring
ing out an expert from the United
States to operate them. The Bolivian
congress made appropriations for sew
eral more we'll drilling machines. which
will be imported during the present
year.
