HOLDS
 DEMONSTRATIONS

TONOPAH, Nevada. May 5- When the people of this famous mining city decided recently to hold patriotic demonstration to testify to their loyalty to the administra- ton and the upholding of the Presi- dents hands, the order was sent out: No vehicles or automobiles will be admitted. High and low, alike, will walk" This was the key note of the demonstration, the tan gible and visible expression of the theme of President Wilson's memor able address democracy and the struggle for it's perpetuation.
 Three thousand marchers were in line. Judges walked shoulder to shoulder with saIoonkeepers. Minis ters and mechanics, lawyers and miners, merchants and muckers, Way ed aloft the Stars and Stripes as the thousands paraded through the streets of the city to the inspiring quicksteps of three bands Maids and matrons of Tonopah's best fami- lies thronged the sidewalks on the the line of march, and cheering with them were the girls of the dance halls and the lowliest workers in the miners boarding house
 There were no speeches. Action, not words," was the slogan of the lay. Thousands of American Flags were distributed among the march CTS and onlookers. They were the mute but flaring evidence of the Americanism of the crowd. Flags were everywhere, and high on the great dumps that look down over >he city-the great mountains Of broken rock from whence the citi- lens of TOnopah have Wrested the millions produced by it's great ore mines, the Stars and Stripes stood 1ut sharply against the cloudless skies
 In all the parade six rifles alone were evidence that war was the call 90 which the people had responded These were in the hands of six ex- pert markSmen who flanked d twen. ty-toot flag carried by eight stal- wart miners, selected for their mag nificent physique.
 A feature was the marching of a little group of Serbians. All were veterans of the last Balkan war and each expressed his readiness to take up arms for his adopted coun- try. At the head of the procession marched the veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic, the fighters of past generation, and following them came the five hundred school children of the city, the nations hope for the future.

Nasturtium flowers, trailing over porch, aTbor or fence, and making brilliant and gorgeous splashes of orange, red and yellow amidst the pretty green of the leaves, have al ways been very popular, Many housewives have discovered what charming table decorations they make when artistically arranged in suitable vases or holders, but few know that the leaves, buds, flowers and seeds are all available and worth considering for more practical, if less ornamental purposes. They are used in salads. sandwiches. pickles, vinegars and sauces which are some what out of the common.
 NAsTURTIUM SANDWICHES.
 Young nasturtium leaves, seasoned with pepper and salt. between thin brown or white bread and butter make an excellent sandwich for those who like their slightly hot" flavor. The latter may be modified by com bining the leaves with thin slices of cucumber The leaves also make capital addition to ordinary minced or sliced meat or egg sandwiches, and may be recommended to those in search of something new for pie nics or afternoon teas. For the the minced or potted meat sandwiches. the leaves may with advantage be chopper rather finely and mixed with the meat and seasoning.
 VINEGAR.
 Nasturtium vinegar is very useful for flayoring sauces and grayies and for use in salads or special salad dressing. It is prepared in the same way as mint and other herb vine gars and may be made for similar The fully-blown flowers should be gathered on dry day, put into a wide glass bottle, shaken down till they lie close and GOV cred with cold vinegar. A very small shallot, finely chopped and a frag ment of garlic may be added, if de sired. The bottle must be quite full of vinegar. At the end of two 1 months it may be opened for use,

most of them, out of the hold, and
swarming all round the dirty deck,
with a central throng surrounding
Vaughan and addressing him in every
dialect and patois of q dialect, from
the Zulu click up to the Partisan of
Beledeljereed.
AS we came on deck, Vaughan
looked down from a hogshead, on
which he had mounted in desperation,
and said:

who can make these wretches under

rum, and that did not quiet them.

Kroomen were dragged out, who, as 1t
had been found already, had worked
for the Portuguese on the coast at

if anybody was sick or died, or if the

My own acquaintance with Philip
Nolan began six or eight years after
the war, on my first voyage after l
was appointed a midshipman. 1t was
in the first days after our slave trade
treaty, while the reigning house,
which was still the house of Virginia

of the middle passage, and something
was sometimes done that way. We

was a "Plain-ButtOnS" on every ship.
We had him to dine in our mess once
a week, and the caution was given that
on that day nothing was to be said
about home. But if they had told us
not to say anything about the planet
Mars or the book of Deuteronomy, l
should not have asked why; there were
a great many things which seemed to
me to have as little reason. I first
came to understand anything about
''the man without country one day
when we overhauled a dirty little
schooner which had slaves on board.
An officer was sent to take charge of
her, and after a few minutes he sent
back his boat to ask that someone

MAKE YOUR CHOICE-IT'S
RED CROSS OR IRON CROSS

One of the most striking phrases ex-
pressive of the duty of every Ameri-
can to uphold the Red Cross is hat of
]. Roe Purchase, editor of a trade pa
per in Chicago. Here is what he tells
his readers:
you'd better bear the Red Cross
burden now than bear the Iron Cross
burden all the rest of your life"
Never was spoken a truer word. The
first appeal of the Red Cross was for
$100,000,000, which means about 81
per capita. This fund is for the care
of sick and wounded soldiers, and the
destitute in war-desolated lands.
But when the German heel is stamp
ed down upon a land-Belgium, Ser
bia, Poland, Roumania, Francois far
as the o prince has been able to
go-there is no such thing as a con
tribution it is c~oniscation. Why, more
money has been ravished from the one
city of Brussels than the Red Cross
asked for its whole first year cam
paign. Millions of dollars in fines
are taken from every Belgian city ev-
cry month. Only a few weeks ago a
fine of millions was imposed on Brus-
sells because a newspaper published by
Belgians in England had printed a
story of German sayagery.
