Lnke McLuke Says

A wife gets a heap of pleasure out of telling her husband how good other women's' husbands are.
 There may be lucky days for other kinds of gambling. But there are no lucky days for getting married.
 If you want to make enemies out of both women, just tell two of them how much each resembles the other.
 A woman hates to be so old that she feels justified in lying about her age.
 When woman brags that woman is at her best when she is forty, it isn't hard to guess how old she is.
 Every boy longs to be 21 SO he will be his own boss and do just as he pleases And when he reaches that age the blame fool goes and gets married and fails to realize his ambition.
 The difference between Congress and Parliament is that when a Member of Parliament is shooting off his mouth some other M. r. interrups him by shouting: Ear, Earl" and when 2 Member of Congress is shooting off his mouth. some other NJ c. interrupts him by shouting: You're a Liar""
 Fifty per cent. of the trouble in this world is imaginery, forty-nine per cent is brought on ourselves and the bal ance is unavoidable.

NEVADA WINS SUIT
AGAINST WELLS FARGO

The authority of the State Tax
Commission to levy a tax on the right
of foreign corporations to do bust
ness in this State. even though such
corporations are engaged in inter.
state business. was upheld by the
United States Supreme Court Tues
day in a decision affirming the de-
cisions of the State Supreme Court
in the Wells Fargo tax cases
The decision involves some $780, 0O
or $50, 900 in taxes levied against the
express company beginning several
years ago. The express company
claimed that the tax was in violation
Of the constitution because it
amounted to taking away it's prop
erty without due process of law. 1t
also, commended that the tax acted
in restraint Of interstate commerce
and that therefore the State Tax Com
mission was without authority to act.
The case decided was appealed to
the State Supreme Court from Hum
boldt County with the understand
ing that the ultimate decision should
govern similar suits in all counties in
which the express company is doing
business.

poses established on the company's

FRANCE WELCOMES
PRESIDENT WILSON
EXECUTIVE IN HIS. FIRST SPEECH
Owes GREETINGS OF AMERICA
TO PEOPLE OF FRANCE.
psincare Acknowledges United States
Spontaneous Help Given to the
Defenders Of
Liberty.

Paris.-President and Mrs. Wilson
made their entry into Paris greeted by
we'll nigh half the populace, not only
Of the city, but Of the surrounding dis
tricts. They were attended by Presi-
dent Pdncare, Premier Clemenceau
and others among the most eminent
figures of France. Flowers were drop
ped around their carriage; airplanes
winged overhead; guns sounded. But
observers were impressed with some
thing more than the magnitude and
beauty Of the reception by some
quality of warmth that made it diff
ferent from the visits to Paris recently
made by the sovereigns of the allied
nations.
The city is ablaze with illuminations !;
the boulevards are thronged with
crowds, dancing and singing and throw
ing confetti. The Place de IA Con-
corde has been turned into a great
dancing pavilion, where American
solderies are favorite partners. Amer
lea is the predominating word here.
The imagination and interest Of
France has been stirred by the presi-
dent of the United States as no other
leader beyond the borders. All classes
and parties have united to pay honor
to the United States through it's presi-
dent. They greet him as the represen-
tative of ideals now dawning upon
Europe.
"In the eyes Of the immense crowds
welcoming him." says the semiofficial
Temps, president Wilson represents
two invincible forces-the material
force which permitted the war tt be
won, and also the force which will
%sanctify peace"
Thirty-six thousand soldiers, the
flower of the French army, lined the
avenues from the Dauphlne gate to
the Murat mansion, which, during their
stay in Paris, will be the home of the
president and his wife. Alpine Chas-
and Zouaves, fresh from the bat
tlefields Of Champagne and colonial
troops from whose uniforms the mud
Of the Somne had only a few days ago
been removed, occupied the post of
honor. They gently, but firmly, kept
order among the enormous crowds,
which ever pressed forward In eager
ness to have a closer look at n guests
Of France.
