Alongside of the gate is the entrance, which was made by tearing down a piece of the ancient wall to form a suitable entrance for Wilhelm Hohenzollern in 1898. In front of the Jaffa Gate, also called Bal el Kalil, or the Gate of the Friend, three principal streets meet, namely, the Jaffa street, David street and the road to Bethlehem.

He figured on her liking his plain blue tie, and all the time she likes the regimental stripe tie worn by little Willie Green, and proves her liking by taking her East CT stroll with Willie and not brother.
 Three weeks before Easter, just when the Easter bonnet makes it's ap- pearance in the hat shops, mother rushes downtown to get herself a hat. And for three weeks mother is on pins and needles waiting for Easter Day to arrive. And when Easter does arrive she is on more pins and needles wait ing for Il to strike so that she can spring a Spring hat surprise on father.

The foot washing is celebrated on Greek Thursday in the court of the church by the followers of the Greek Orthodox faith. reproducing the foot washing that took place in the room of Zion 2,O00 years ago.
 The Holy Light.
 But the most attended festival is the celebration of the Holy Light. The celebration is world famous and year ly attracts visitors from all parts of the world. At l o'clock in the after noon of the Saturday before Easter, the light Is given out from the front chamber of the tomb by the Greek Orthodox Patriarch and is passed on by the anxiously waiting youth of Jeru- salem. Every individual who carries a candle lights it from the light next to him and in a marvelously short time the light is passed on through the different parts of the interior of the church, out into the yard, up to the visitors on the flat roofs of the church, through the city and out into the churches of the whole country.
 Before the war the Turkish military force used to police the occasion to prevent any disorder, but mostly to show that Islam is dominating even on the very sacred grounds of Chris tianity. But since the entrance of the victorious General Allenby, the polio ing was done by Tommies or Austra- nans, who were participators in the celebration and whose presence was deemed essential only for preventing molestation by pickpocketers.

Yet the Gordon Calvary does not face the temple which the old Calvary did.
 The Easter Sunday.
 The Easter Sunday Is celebrated at daybreak in the Holy Sepulchre with very impressive service. Yet the main celebration is in the streets of the city and the homes of the people. The children enjoy the game of trying to see how many eggs they can break by the ones they have, holding them in vertical position. The broken egg be- comes the property of the winner. Easter is the great festival os the Ori- ent. On this occasion people have parties to which they invite their friends.

SYNTHETIC CAMPHOR.

Camphor is now being manufactured synthetically from turpentine. This step has been made in order to supply the American market with the aro- matic substance The majority of camphor is imported from Japan. It is used in medicine, in the making of celluloid, which is combination of camphor and guncotton. The Depart ment of Agriculture has established camphor farm in Florida and is pro- ducfng very good grade of the sub- stanca.

A Easter egg by any other name A would taste just as delicious,
 but the world over the peo- pie are creatures of habit. so at Easter and around Easter only we have the chocolate and jelly eggs.
 The association of Easter and eggs goes back to heathen times, says one authority.
 "It seems as if the egg was thus decorated for an Easter trophy, after the days of modification and abstin- ence were over and festiv1ty had taken their place, and as an emblem of the resurrection of life, as certified to us by the resurrection from the re- gions' of death and the grave. Not only do we find this record of the use of eggs among the practices of the Egyp- tians, the ancient Israelites and the early Christians, but De Gebelin in- forms us that the custom of using eggs at Easter may be traced. up not only to the theology of the people of Egypt, but to the theology and philosophy of the Perstans, the Gauls, the Greeks and the Romans, all of whom regarded the egg as an emblem of the universe and the work of the Supreme Divinity"
 The Christians have used eggs on Easter Day as containing the elements of future life. symbolic of the resurree- ton. Painted or 'ornamented eggs have become in many lands an Easter institution.
 As for the bunny, the chicken and the kewpie, they all play their part in modern Easter gifts. The bunny or hare owes its popularity to the belief of the German children that it is the hare who lays the eggs on Easter Day.
 The Easter Flowers.
 Easter always brings 8 profusion of flowers, with the lily the most popular of all.
 The lily industry in the United States is thriving. Millions upon mill lions are grown from Florida to Cali fornia. In these clines they are grown under glass, in fact verita- b1e lily king, plants half million bulbs this way. But in enthusiasm for the lily, the rhododendron, the aza1ea, the spirea, tulip, hyacinth, daffodil, norcissus, ferns and the many others must not be forgot nor their charms overlooked.

peateQ on Easter Day by mll-
 lions and millions of flowers of the Christian religion as well as the Jewish. If one stops to think how many times the word Jerusalem has been repeated during the 2,000 years that have passed since the appearance of the Nazarene on the platform of the world history one must admit that there is no city in the world that can . rival with Jerusalem in fame. The name of Jerusalem has become a fla miliar and sweet name to many na- tion and many an individual.
 Since the time of Crusaders the city of Jerusalem did not attract the atten- tion of the nations until the Syrian Campaign of General A1lenby The Golden Gate has been closed for cen turies by the Turks for fear that the prophecy might be fulfilled which pre- dicted that on a certain Friday a Christian conqueror will enter Jeru- salem through the Golden Gate, term mating the Turkish rule over the Holy City. The Golden Gate is still closed with mortar and stone, yet the prophe- cy was fulfilled by Allenby's entrance through the Jaffa gate.
 The Easter season is by far the busi- est and most interesting one of Jeru- salem. The setting in of Spring makes it possible as well as pleasant for tour fists and visitors from all parts of the globe to gather in the Holy City and see with their eyes the place whose name is world-famous and on which f scenes occurred that tended to bring about decisive turning points in the history of the human race.
 The Garden of Gethsemane.
 One of these places is the Garden of Gethsemane. As the Hebrew name in- dicates Gethsemane was an olive gar den, with an "ofl press" on it's grounds. The present garden is situ- ated on the western slopes of the Mount of Olives, little distance up from the Kidron Valley Although very much reduced in size, it still con tains some of the old olive trees that stood there when the Galilean spent the night with his eleven followers be- fore he was betrayed. The place has been turned into a beautiful flower A garden. and from here cards are sent to all parts of the world with flowers from Gethsemane glued on to them.
 On Green Thursday before Easter the vast number of visitors walk down the slopes of Mt Mira, on which the temple stands, cross the Kidron Valley near Sitti Miriam, the tomb of St. Mary, and enter the garden after ascending a distance up the Mount of Olives. For lack of space to accom- modate the visitors, they are allowed to. remain a short time on the place. during which they can sing a hymn or read a passage from the New Testa- ment and then make room for new corners. Hymns characteristic of all s every civilized tongue in the quietude of the garden.
 Calvary.
 Calvary was a hill on which crinl- E finals were crucified. The crucifixion was an old eastern habit
 k The historical hill of Calvary. on which the three crosses of that Good Friday stood, has disappeared. On its site the Church of the Holy Sepulchre f has been built by Helena, the wife of Emperor Constantine, of the Byzantine empire, in the fourth century after the 1 sChristian era On this place the cele- bration of the foot washing and the Holy Light takes place.

TAHERE are many little tragedi

KAHERE are many little tragedies
 which happen at Easter time.
 Some of them are pathetic, and most of them are not without their humorous side. Right on your very street, possibly in the house next door, there is something going on which is tragic to the person 1t hap pens to, and humorous to those who do not suffer by it
 Take little Jack or little Mary, for instance. Well, we'll take little Mary. She gets an all-chocolate Easter bun ny.

STATEMENT Of SAMUEL SHOVE

Tho statement of Sam Shove. tho
man who has been victimized and
who claims that this present pre-
dicament is due to the spirit OF re-
venge exhibited by Giblin and 9TH
ers is self sufficient.
The statement follows:
First I viii explain the details
OF the affair especially about the
check When We arranged with
General Tasker II. Bliss to come
here to speak during the SPANISH
American war veterans encamp-
ment we authorized the expenditures
of $3.50 to cover his expenses.
This check was drawn in regu-
lar form and mailed to Frank W.
Mondell. Wyoming representative
at Washington. When he learned
that General Bliss would be unable
to come here he mailed the check
back to me at Casper.
"I received the letter and check
on July 5. On this dat we were
holding the big banquet in honor OF
the encampment visitors. I hand
ed the letter and check to Mr. Giblin
who was present at tho meeting
and whom 1 had formerly appointed
chairman of the finance commit
tee.
AT the same time I. asked Mr..
Giblin II he had signed a check for
Fred A. Parrish for 5000 the orig
ina sum he was to be paid on a
$500 contract to take pictures Of
the encampment. parade and other
features.
HE said that he had not signed
the check and I told him that I
would turn the check which we had
written for Bliss over to Parrish.
Without any formality 1 just
scratched off Bliss name and in
serted Parrish. i then handed tho
check to Parrish and nothing was
said about It. 1 made no particular
effort TO erase Bliss name. my in
tentions being perfectly sincere and
straight forward. I never sven
doubted that anything would arise
from the altering OF the check for
at least 1t was an act done legally
and with full knowledge OF Mr..
Giblin who was acting officially as
chairman OF the finance committee.
Later this very act OF paying
Parrish the money he had coming
was approved In the meeting of the
local camp. 1 never thought or
heard anything of the matter until
after I left town for my homestead
where myself and my family wera
n Sunday afternoon approached by
Mr. Giblin and told that the camp
planned TO prosecute me for paying
a hill which az chairman of The gem
COMMITTEES l had fun right 10
authorize.
Now right here I might explain
that the commander OF tho Rocky
, 1921-11-01

i asked Mr.. Gfbiin what he
wantcd the extra $50 for and he
told me that Sam owed Earl BOYLE
$50 and as he was a friend OF
6oyle's he wanted to know that
Boyle would get his money.
"At that time Mr.. Gfblin told ma
that It would be the best for all of
Us If I would sign the note to him
as that would clear everything up.
I asked him why he wanted the
note made personally to him and
he told me that all the records of
tho affair werc locked In his desk
and that IL I would make out the
note to him that he would get a
sman to discount the note and
would then turn the money over TO
the Veterans camp and thai no one
would ever know anything about it.
Tie also promised both Sam ana
I that the check which he wa using
as the lever to pry the note from US
would be returned to me when I
gave the note or that It would be
destroyed so that no one would ever
know about It.
well the day I came into town
I went to Mr.. Giblin's office and
signed a note for $500. First I asked
Mr.. Giblin II the money couldn't be
paid on monthly payments. He said
no. but he promised that on the
strength Of the note I had given
him he would report to the Spanish
