That is the way the mask ball origi-
mated long before there were draper
les and artificial flowers.
The masked balls of to-day which
mark the height of the carnival season
can be traced way way back into the
dim past history, Just because of the
innate love of Disgusting ones self that
! is in every one of us, even in the most
self-important person. The latter have
it well under control and only disguise
things of which they are ashamed.
In the earliest times masked dances
were held in honor of the dead, and the
dancers who were mourners wore
painted wooden faces resembling those
of the departed. Such dances still oc-
cur among the Japanese
The Greeks had their masked revels,
b,,+ :
searching for romance, mystery and ad-
venture that gave the masquerade the
| impetus that launched it on a success
full career which will never end as
long as there is youth in the old world.
The old Romans had a very sharp
wit, and ii was much simpler TO say a
few singing things about ones enemies
when one was disguised or masked.
There was much less danger and more
fun and one could enjoy the discom-
fort of others without suffering for it,
which was pleasing and safe.
one could do things which were any
thing but dignified because one was
disguised, and it is for this reason that
the mask ball of our own day is still
popular with the old as we'll as the
young.
The Italians have inherited the love
Of the mask from their Roman fore
bears, and they have added to It and
developed it, drawing from all the re-
sources Of the land of art
The great mask balls and carnivals
are held in Italy or in countries where
the happy southern temperament is
strong. While the masked balls of the
northern people are often gorgeous,
they lack the spontaneity and the joy
Gus gayety of the masks held under
SUMMER skies.
During the Italian Renaissance the
masked revels given by great princes
were impressive and costly and they
were the scenes Of many romantic
episodes These balls were staged BY
the greatest artists Titan himself did
not Gisdain to make sketches for the
frocks of some Of the ladies', and the
great painter of kings was always get
ting into debt because of his love Of
these magnificent pageants, which he
would give at his own villas when he
entertained his royal guests.

LITTLE IDAHO HAS ARRIVED

The Penwell 4 Priddy Hardware and
Implement Store received their first
consignment of the Improved 1918
Idaho Harvesters this week and the
new machines are exciting great inter.
est among the ranchers.
This year s model of The Idaho is a
oig Improvement over any machines
the manufacturers have previously
paced on the market. From the cutter
par to the rudder wheel the 1913 Idaho
mas been strengthened and improved
until IT is now thorough commercial
success. The wider cut; the greater
elevator capacity; the double diapers;
the improved grain wheel; the larger,
stronger cylinder; the perfected con-
cave; the greater capacity of the ma
chine, are all new features that appeal
to the thinking rancher and without
a doubt the 1913 Improved Idaho will
prove even more popular than the pre-
vlous machines the manufacturers have
placed on the market.
Nv SiVat Is tne demand Tor the IA
nous Idaho all over the country. that
the company can only spare twenty
machines for the Camas and Nezperce
Prairie territories. This will mean that
number will have to be disappointed
this year and those that get their or
ders IN early are fortunate indeed
The Moscow built harvester is
great boon to the rancher. 1t means
less work; less trouble and big saw
ing in money each harvest-and it paws
for itself. Nearly all our progressive
ranchers have decided to adopt this
modern method of harvesting as soon
as they can get machine, and with
the record the 1913 Improved machines
are sure to make this harvest the de-
mand will be greatly increased until
within the next few years practically
all the ranchers on the prairie will be
equipped with The Idaho-the machine
that takes the grain from field to sack
for $l.00 per acre-and leaves the dol |
lar with the rancher.

MAJESTIC IN BIG BODY ORE.
Other Properties Being Developed the
Past Winter.

The work of development at the Ma
jestic mines the past winter has put a
large body of good milling ore in sight.
The most of the work has been con-
fined to what is known as the Campbell
drift in No. 3 tunnel. In this drift
they havoc ut porphyry vein that is
20 feet wide and assays So per ton.
This drift has good depth and will
afford considerable STOPPING ground.
The values seem to be in the hemitite,
and it pans quite well.
Aside from the work done in the No.
3 tunnel, there has been considerable
work done on a quartz vein cut in the
No. tunnel. This vein is from to 6
feet in width and gives promise of
developing into good ore.
The company to date have 1850 feet
OF the tunnel work done ON their pro-
perty, most of which has been done in
the No. and No. 8 tunnels. They
have fine equipment for work, con
sisting of so horse power boiler, air
compressor and saw mill. This equip
ment is placed at their mill site, which
has been put in shape to receive the
mill that will be put in this summer.
The mill site is some distance below the
mine, and the ore will be trammed.

CAMP SCHOOLS OF VALUE ID STATE
TWO THOUSAND YOUNG MEN TAUGHT IMPORTANCE OF
 SANITATION.
UNCLE SAM PAYS THE BILLS
Arkansas Will Lose This Benefit if National Guard Is Not
 Maintained.

Health is wealth, human life is ;s- valuable. A knowledge of sanitat:aa and hygiene taught to two thousand ambitious young men, citizens of Arkansas, at a twenty-one day camp school of instruction, where the men sse paid for their time and all ex. penses are paid by the federal gov ernment, Is lost each year to Ark ansas by reason of the failure of the recent legislature to provide funds sufficient to care for the property loaned the State by the government.
 There is much misunderstanding abount maneuver camps. The truth about a modern military camp and the camps maintained by the Arkan- sas National Guard is that approxi. mately two thousand industrious young men from all walks in life are camped under field service conditions. where the medical department enforc- es modern sanitation and hygienic conditions to their personal satisfac- ton, assisted by the trained army ex- perts.
 The camp at Alexandria, La, in 1912 was maintained in cleaner and more sanitary condition than ninety-nine per cent of the back yards in Arkan, sas.

 The officers and men never could have been persuaded that this was a possibility had they not been taught the secret. These men were taught the need for and advantages of righ, living conditions, and they saw the increased human efficiency which re- suited from such living.

 Unless funds are raised to main. tain the Arkansas National Guard pending the next session of the state legislature, the state will be the loser not only in cash but in knowledge, health and pleasure, The young men who make up the National Guard will be prevented from learning the les sons that are taught in these big camp schools. That is the reason that the governors of Arkansas have appealed to the pride and patriotism of the peo- ple to help carry the National Guard over the crisis that has been pre-. cipitated by the action of the last legislature.
