G. A. R. EnCampment
At Ashland Was
Enjoyable Affair


Department of Wisconsin at Ash
land, June 17-18 10 was a gre t
meeting and | am sure was enjoyed
by everyone who was there.
Our party of eleven from River
Falls was met at the station by autos
and taken to the Court House to
register and then to places assigned
them. Myself, wife and daughter
went to the residence of Mr.. A. B.
Noble where we were welcomed
cordially and made to feel at home.
In the evening we attended war
Play with Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Walk
er, Of our city.
Tuesday morning h e e was a
business meeting of the G. A. r. and
their Auxiliaries, and in the after
noon War dances by a band Of
Chippewa Indians, and for persons
who had never seen anything of the
kind it was treat. In the evening
we went to hear the Drummer Boy
of the Rapahanac (Maj. Henderson,
He certainly is an expert with the
snare drum, although getting in
years.
Wednesday was the day set for
the election of officers and as only
the delegates and Past Commanders
were entitled to vote the attendance
was not very large. There were two
candidates for the office of Depart
ment Commander. Geo. S. Breede
and N. L. Lunt, but the former was
elected by large Majority for the
other officers the rules were suspend
ed and they were voted for by the
Ait. General, which saved lot time.
The Para was set for two
o'clock, and promptly on time the
the Grand Army Boys formed in
front of of the Auditorium d
marched to the City Hall and waited
for the rest of the Parade to get in
line. Then we took the head of the
procession, marching by tours and
escorted on each side by girls of
twelve years of age each carrying a
flag. We went up on the wide ver-
anda where seats were provided for
us to view the parade and it certain
ly was worth seeing.
have seen larger parades, but as
an expression of the spirit of the
time | never saw any as fine. | can
not tell the time it took to pass the
Reviewing Stand, but there was
good two miles of it. A large body
of Sons of Veterans and Boy Scouts,
were next in line. Then a long line
OF Red Cross ladies headed by six.
teen carrying large Red Cross Ban
ner and as they passed the people
on the sidewalks they just showered
the quarters, halves and dollars into
the center until they were obliged
to empty it twice before the march
was ended. One man threw his hat
in and said return the hat to me
and get five dollars, it is needless to
say the hat was returned to him,
when the parade ended they counted
up and had six hundred and eleven
dollars which shows that not only
the soldiers but the Public appreciate
the work of the Red Cross. Behind
the Red Cross ladies was a float with
Red Cross workers folding garments
to ship. And back Of these was

WORK OF MOTHER NATURE
Formation of Cubes and Patterns, Per-
fectly Symmetrical, Character
istic of Gem-Stones.

The original geometrician vas Moth
er Nature. Observe her work In the
making of crystals. Each kind of gem
stone crystallizes on a certain pattern
of it's own, perfectly symmetrical; ii
is the same way with metals when
they form crystals, says a writer.
If a cupful of salt and water be al
lowed to evaporate slowly In a cool
place, the salt will take the form of
ever so many cubes, each one of them
perfect.
One mineral In crystallizing will In
variably take the shape of an octa-
hebron, another of a dodecahedron.
Yet another will assume the form of
a multitude of cubes, perhaps half an
inch on an edge, with a chip accurate
" cut off of each corner. 1t seems
like a joke.
Gold and silver crystalline as cubes,
A crystal Of iron sulphide resembles
In shape a wild rose. Water has its
own crystalline forms. like any other
mineral. Ice, of course, is a kind of
rock-as much a rock as granite-but
is remarkable for its low melting
point. This is lucky for u.s., because
this rock, In a molten condition, fur.
nishes us with drink.

Homage Paid Joan Of Arc.

Old and new were reunited when
Orleans and New Orleans met In the
fifteenth century hotel de vile of the
city on the Loire at the heart of France
recently, says a Paris correspondent.
The bicentenary of the new world city
was the occasion Of the United States
delegates visit. Homage was paid TO
Joan of Arc, the champion of the me-
dieval struggle for freedom. She was
the subject of French and American
speeches. and flowers and a bronze
palm leaf were laid at the foot of
her statue. A pilgrimage, too, was
made to the fort of Tourelles, so ia
nous In the defense of the city by the
maid. The events of those far-gone
centuries served as a distant romantic
background to the present struggle, In
which the most recent figures to APP
pear on a crowded canva are those
of the United States soldiers on the
Flanders front. Side by side with the
mention of medieval names and events
were heard, In the old halls Of Orleans,
those of President Wilson and the
battle of the Marine.

AGRICULTURAL ANT OF TEXAS
Creatures Are Regular Farmers and
Their Homes Are Marvels OF
Skill and Strength.

Texas has many varieties of the ant
family. Out on the "Llano Estacado,'
or Staked Plain, they are so numerous
that their hills look like the pillows
of a rolling sea-.
One of the most powerful n for
midable insects in the Southwest Is the
agricultural ant of Texas, observes a
naturalist. These busy creatures are
regular farmers, and their homes are
marvels of architectural skill and
strength.
Think of a house from IL to Is feet
high, built by a little ant, and which
is so strong and well supported that
cattle and buffaloes can walk owe 1t
and yet not crush in this wonderful
dome.
1t is said that If a horse, In pro-
portion to his size, could leap as far
as a flea, that In n jump he would
go clear around the world. Now, If
a man constructed a house according
to the same proportions of an ants
domicile, 1t would be more than a mile
high.
These agricultural ants, next to a
bee, are the most industrious crea-
lures on earth. They sow, reap and
garner just like farmers, and during
the warm season lay by sufficient store
for winters use.

THE INCOME
TAX LAW

An expert, who has had much ex-
perience with tax laws and income tax
laws, recently remarked, when asked
If he thoroughly understood the new
tax laws, that he did not, but he be-
lieved be understood them as well as
anyone else, and much better thar the
men who enacted them into law,
Probably his statement is correct and
the fact is that no one thoroughly un-
derstands what they provide.
In enacting a law. especially a very
long and complicated one, two mis-
takes can be and usually are made
one is when it is written and enacted
100 rapidly, and then invariably some
thing that should be in is left out; and
the second mistake is to enact the law
100 slowly and after months of dis
cussion, and then inevitably it in
cludes much that should never have
been included. and which is more or
less contradictory with what goes be-
fore or comes after. The new war tax
law is a glittering example of that
latter statement.
For months Congress was in labor

thing stricken out that was just DIS
vital, and the result was a law that
was SO long, so complicated and so
contradictory that no one. knows its
provisions and which two weeks after
it went into effect had been the sub

tons by Washington.
Under the circumstances those who
have large interests should be ex-

The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1918-02-21

There have been many announce
ments of candidates, particularly OF
prominent Republicans. for the posi-
ton of senator, left vacant by the
untimely death of Senator F. G. New
lands. The candidacy of Hon. Z. II.
Roberts, the present congressman of
the State, seems to be received with
more favor than that of any other
candidate. Mr.. Roberts is one of the
most popular men of the State OF
Nevada today. His record in Con-
gress is an excellent one. He Is n
hard worker, and his honesty, integ-
rity, and r~esourcefulness make him
stand out as one of the big men of
the entire State. Nevada needs a
progressive Republican in the Sen
ate. The mining interests of the
State are so great that 1t peculiarly
needs a man of the wide experiences
of Mr.. Roberts, who understands min
ing affairs so thoroughly. His ex-
perience in the lower house has
eminently fitted him for service in
the Senate, and it is greatly to be
hoped that the Republicans of the
State of Nevada will nominate him
for senator at the preliminaries. II
Roberts is nominated he will win
without a doubt. His popularity Is
such that he can win against any
Democrat in the State with the ex-
ception perhaps of Key Pittman. The
editor has been a resident of Nevada
for nearly four years, and has made
a keen study of the political situation
during that time. He is convinced
that Mr.. Roberts is the strongest SEN
atorial timber in the whole State, not
only from a standpoint of politics, IN
telligence and integrity. but because
he is above all an honest man
