at my home own and being received
by old friends"
On their arrival, they were met by
a reception committee and a band of
music, and escorted to their head
quarters and given the freedom of the
city. The time during the whole week
has been occupied with receptions, re-
unions, %banquets, picnics and sight
seeing besides the regular business of
the encampment.
The chief event of the week, how
ever, was the parade on Wednesday.
The line Of march extended nearly
two miles and the streets or both
sides were packed with spectators as
we'll as were windows, ~fre-escapes
and roofs, affording a Wow Of the par
ade. 1t vas estimated that nearly
100000 people witnessed the grand
sight of 1900 old veterans in line
marching to the music Of Is bands.
The Grand Army was led by a
mounted platoon OF police headed by
Chief Sebastian, then followed an auto
in which Mayor Alexander was seated
Next came the Sons OF Veterans act
ing as escort and who stood at atten-
ton before the reviewing stand as the
silvered veterans passed by.
Women with baskets OF flowers
walked before the first division OF old
soldiers and scattered flowers over
part OF the course. Each soldier
wore a carnation, which had been
pinned on his coat before the parade
started by young ladies representing
the w. r. c. Of Los Angeles.
The various departments were repre-
scented in the parade in the order of
their organization, Illinois being the
first. Nearly every state in the union
was represented. Many state delega-
tons carried some distinguishing fea-
ture and were cheered as they passed
by. Fol in.tance, the South Dakotans
carried stats upon which were carried
ears OF corn. North Dakota veterans
carried miniature shocks Of wheat.
In this parade, I think, for the first
time in the history of encampment
p~arades. several women and girls
were in line. Some acted as color
bearers for organizations, other car
ried flags or flowers, and two little
girls walked beside their grandfathers.
Behind the marchers came 200 auto
mobiles, furnished by local residents,
carrying those veterans whom wounds
in battle or the hand Of time had rem.
dcred unable to march.
At one point in the line of march
were stationed nearly 200 women
dressed in white and waving the ma
tional flag. who sang eongs Of welcome
to the veterans as they marched down

STORING SEED CORN

AS o as the corn is picked it
should be carefully dried. One of the
best means Of drying corn is to hang
the ears upon hooks in the ceiling.
The thing to keep in mind is to see
that 1t Is not placed where it is damp
n that the place has a good even
temperature. 1t is not a good policy
to store it in a room that is unusually
warm nor Is 1t a good plan to store it
in a cellar because moisture will be
absorbed and then the cold weather
destroys the vitality. Also il corn is
stored in a loft Of the barn a consider
able amount Of moisture may be abb
sorbed. This also is dangerous If it
turns off cold. The granary may be a
suitable place in which to hang seed
CORP but 1t may also be stored in the
attfo. Corn should be handled in such
a way as to dry 1t as quickly as posi-
BILE after harvest.

Broadway.
In the line carrying a flag labeled,
The Flag That Set Us Free"
One Of the striking figures in the
line, was "Lincoln's double" as he is
called, a member of Gen. Bailey post
of Girard, Kansas. He wore a tall
silk hat and long coat and seemed the
exact counterpart of President Lin
coin, as he is known to us in the pic
lures. In his home town he is known
as Uncle Abe. His name is Col.
Loomis and he was a friend of Lincoln
who recognized the resemblance to
himself n often spoke of it. 1t is
needless to say that Uncle Abe" re-
ceived an ovation all along the line.
There were many other interesting
features OF the parade but to mention
them would make too lone a letter. |
must not neglect to mention the decor
atoms OF the city which were a cause
OF amazement to the visitors. One old
''NS'"h ma Y tidL no Hdu dlIeuu-
ed many encampments but never saw
such fine decorations before. The bus
mess houses and many private homes
are covered with flags and at night
the city is ablaze with electric lights.
The court house has the badge of the
G. A. Il. in electricity on each of the
four sides Of the clock tower, and in
front OF the building d giant electric
flag automatically waving is a specta-
Gle from one end Of Broadway to the
other.
AS this is probably the last encamp-
ment Of the G. A. R. that will ever
meet on the Pacific coast, as their
numbers are thinning rapidly, it was
aimed to make it especially memora-
