=yyul,an decorative Ideas

Experts tell US that in the decora-
uon or FURNITURE the Egyptian cabinet
maker never yelled construction. He
obeyed the sound principle and precept
that decoration should spring from
construction, and not construction
from decoration.
Elements of ornament apparently
were the same in private as in public
buildings These elements were the
lotus and papyrus flowers, the palm
branch and the feathers Of birds, as
we'll as a number of geometrical pat
terms derived from primitive arts Of
weaving and plating. The simple or
complex treatment Of lotus and pa
pyrus flowers, buds, leaves and stems,
it Is asserted, made the Egyptian sys-
tenn Of mural decoration rich, varied
and glowing, as well as thoroughly in
harmony with the scale Of color set
by nature in the Nile valley.

A glove for the tongue has been
patented by an inventor of Indiana. 1t
is called a tongue shield and is de-
signed to enable the wcarer to escape

inserted into the toe" part and the
back part Of the sole" extends over
the top of the tongue toward the

their handlink of the affairs of the
local bank, more especially through
the times of severt strain, endured
by all banks in America during the
past twelve months. Lincoln county
should continue to wholly support

has always shown itself ready to
help in the up-building of the State

81 years, at her apartment in Los
Angels, Calf, from the shock
caused by burns resulting from the
accidental ignition of her clothing
from the flames of gas heater,
while attending to the dressing of
her little granddaughter. Mrs.
Thompson's life was devoted to the
care of her children and grand-chil-
dren and her relatives and friends
will always remember her many acts
Of loving self-sacrifice to those
about her, thus it was fitting that
while attending to her loved ones she
was taken from them to higher
service
Mrs. Thompson's early life was
spent in Chicago, moving to Phoebe
while yet a girl in 1874 and was
identified with the stirring and ev
entful early history of the Camp

COUNTY ENGINEER ENC WALKER MAKES
SURVEY Of PAHRANAGAT VALLEY

Valley for the irrigation and reclaim
alton of about $4,000 acres of land,
which if cut up into small tracts for
intense farming, would make an
ideal colonizing proposition as the
coil and the climatic conditions are
he most favorable to the growing of
fruits, vegetables, alfalfa and corn,
which in the valley excells even the
noted corn states of either Iowa, Ne
hraska or even old Missouri. AS an
instance of the corn grown, Mr..
Walker reports surveying an so
acre tract of corn, that had not yet
been harvested, where the corn had
crown to the uniform height of ten
Feet, with an ear on every stalk, and
many of til ears measuring 16 inches
in length and ripened TO perfection.
This may sound like some corn story,
but the writer can vouch for it hay
ing seen some of the corn.

states that the capacity of this stor'

five times the present capacity at {
