ADOPTED
Garden of Allah, Court
of Honor at Lafay-
cite Park, is Center
of Elaborate Decora=
tions.

I'm the general scheme OF
, decorations, both on Penn
sylvania avenue and through
out the city and suburbs, the
Shrine colors red, green and vel
low naturally predominant. This
scheme applies also to the IL
Nominations. 1t has been the
Elan of the decorations commit
tee, of which Ross p. Andrews
is chairman, to adorn Washing
ton in a spectacular dress never
before seen in any other city.
The most conspicuous scheme
of decoration attempted anywhere
in the world in recent years, was
that employed at Buenos Aires
during the recent exposition. In
that city, instead Of the familiar
arches which have become con-
ventional in modern expositions,
fetes, and great conventions, a
new system known as the Split
Necklace" was employed. This
style of arch is seen on. Penn
sylvania avenue for the first
time on the North American con.
tinent. Sixty-two of these arches
constructed on the avenue are
ablaze at night with the colors
Of the Shrine. These arches con-
sist of two systems Of strings
Of lights arranged in necklace
formation, and all combined to
produce a dazzling effect which
should leave lasting impression
on the mind Of the beholder.
The lampposts along the Ave-
nue. bear a banner surmounted
by two flags and q shield. The
banner is a streamer in the Shrine
colors and each shield bears the
name of a temple Of the order.
The grandstands along the Ave
nue. also are decorated in good
TASTE. The Garden of Allah, as
q court of honor in Lafayette
square in front OF the White
House, is the centerpiece in the
entire scheme of decorations in
the city. 1t was necessary to
place a grandstand on one side
Of it. but the grandstand itself
has been made a part of the
decorative scheme in the garden
90 far as possible a camouflage
30 as not to disillusion the mind
of the beholder.
The plan here is peculiarly
oriental in conception, and the
visitor who is familiar with the
scene in front Of the White
House will be somewhat startled
by the transformation produced
by the introduction of figures
familiar to the East and the
lighting scheme. The soft tones
one might expect in the glow Of
the desert sunset have been COM
bined with the natural beauty

stage of public affairs in the
National Capital. The Garden
CT Allah is q Dlace@ OF dreams
and its music, its lights. its
color, its atmosphere and its
memories create in the mind a
picture ineffable, an impression
that will live long after the
present scene OF brilliancy has
lapsed into the shadows.

THE
BETTER WAY
TO HEALTH
HEALTH TALK No. Ia

Nerve fibers begin in the brain,
pass through the spinal cord. and
end in the various organs and it's
sue which they feed.
Cut a nerve trunk, and the part
served becomes dead. This is proof
that some kind of power passes
over that nerve and is necessary
for the part fed to work properly.
Chiropractors call that power
NERVE FORCE.
When this nerve force is trans
mitted over the nerve unhindered
there is perfect health in the or
gan supplied. Any obstruction to
the passage of this nerve force
results in disease in the organ
supplied.
If you are sick, you may be
sure there is an obstruction to
the flow of the life giving nerve
force. And you may feel equally
sure that your return to health
will depend on just one thing,
namely, removal of the obstruc-
ton, permitting restoration of
the normal flow of nerve force.
Let us. explain to you how the
misalignment of small bones of the
spine may cause a mechanical OBJ
structin to the flow of nerve cur
rent, and how we. as Chiroprac-
tors, remove this obstruction, al
lowing the natural life forces
within you to restore you to health.
You will then understand why
Chircpractic is acknowledged to he
the letter way to health.

NEW MEMBERS WANTED TO
ASSURE MORE DELEGATES

A special effort is being made at
the present time to secure at least
twenty new members for the Win
nemucca Civic Club, according to
Mrs. Geo. W. Brady, president of
that organization, for the reason
that is such number can be secured
at an early date, preferably for
election at the next meeting to be
held a week from tomorrow, VIM
nemucca's club will be entitled to
two more delegates to the conven-
tion soon to be held here of the
Nevada Federation of Woman,s
Clubs. The Civic Club now has
1872 members.
Another item of interest in con-
nection with Civic Club activities is
the proposal, coming from sources
outside of the club, that an effort
be made to secure a portion of the
lot now adjoining the Nixon opera
house for the erection of a library
building. 1t is probable that the
club will soon consider this proposal
and possibly get behind the project
If investigation shows that it may
be possible to secure the ground.

CHARLES P. BOYD,
PIONEER. IS DEAD
Resident of This Vicinity for SO
Years Died at Age of 81 Fol-
lowing 10 Years lnvalidism
From Paralytic Stroke

Coming as probable relief after
nineteen years of suffering, death
last Sunday claimed Charles P.
Boyd, s2-year-old pioneer of this
community, at the home of his son,
Chas. S. Boyd. We say he suffered
for nineteen years only with a res
ervation that the statement may be
erroneous, but the mere fact that he
had been an invalid for that period,
unable to speak, indicates that at
least the call from his heavenly
home must have come as a blessed
relief from terrible monotony. At
the time of his death Mr.. Boyd was
surrounded by many members of his
large family, including Mrs. Ida
Seaton, a daughter, who came here
from Oakland in time to see her
father alive. Other surviving men,
bers of his family are j. A. Boyd of
Bishop, Calf; Mrs. C. P. Ferrell
and Mrs. Winfield Cain of Reno;
Mrs. Clarence Angel, Modesto,
Calf, and three other sons, Samuel
Perry Boyd, B. P. Boyd and C. S.
Boyd, all residents of this city. Mr..
Boyd's wife died many years ago.
Charles P. Boyd was real pio-
neer of the west, coming here "A
years ago only after he had been
burned out by Indians at his ranch
in the Surprise Valley, territory
almost to be considered in this state
for the reason that it lies not many
miles north and west of this city
barely over the California line.
During all of these years Mr.. Boyd
was rancher and stockman. He
was a native of Missouri.

from Buffers Funeral Home on

tervelt saying the parting words of

BEWARE, YE FROSH, FOR

. A piece cribbed from "The Hum
boldt," the section of this issue de-
voted to high school activities, is too
good to pass by: 1t says:
Seniors, juniors, sophomores, lend
me your ears. We came to bury
freshmen, and to haze them. The
evil our frosh do lives after them;
let Us hammer good into their bones.
We will do this to our freshmen.
Our noble frosh have said that
they are ambitious. And they are
honorable men. Yea, all honorable
men. Now, we lowly frosh, there is
yet one day for repentance. Then
comes the reckoning. Beware of
the "Ides of March,! If We still
wear your dink caps and hair in
braids, then there still may be hope
for ye. But if ye have been stray
ing from the paths of virtue set
down by your upper classmen, re-
pent, and yet be saved. "If you

with the fair sex, take notice. The
wielder of the strap doth daily prac-
tice on the leather horse in the gym
nasium. To the unruly frosh will
be given the most unkindest cut of
all.
Look well, lest the fires and
smoke of Hades daily billow and
flare in your nostrils. Wouldst
count red hot pennies the rest of
your days? Then take heed. A
word to the wise is sufficient.
Boys, take notice. Double seated
trousers will not be accepted. All

on the evening of September 22.
Those not present will be even more
warmly welcomed later.

FALLON EDITOR SAYS
KNOCKING SHOULD STOP

81 have learned one thing on this
trip" said d. E. Williams, veteran
and successful publisher of the
Churchill County Eagle, issued
weekly at Fallon, as he, with his
wife, stopped here this week while
en- route to their home after an auto
trip to Lehman's caave and the Yel-
lowstone, "and that is that Nevada
newspapers really ought to stop
knocking the roads of this state. 1t
is natural, of course" he continued,
"for publishers along the Lincoln
highway to boost for travel over the
road which passes thorugh their
cities, and the same of course ap-
plies to those along the Victory high
way. 1t also seems natural to knock
the other fellows road. I've done it
myself in carrying out the mistaken
idea that such knocking might in
crease tourist travel in my home
vicinity. But this trip has been a
revelation to me. l have learned
that in this knocking process only
the bad parts of both roads are told
about, while the good stretches re-
main our own secret. This only has
the effect of furnishing ammunition
for road boosters in other states,
with the result, have learned, that
they are well supplied with news
clipping which easily convince tour
lists that neither road in Nevada is
any more than passable. The re-
suit is that tourists are kept out of
the state, and in one particular in
stance found that innumerable
cars were being turned away after
visiting the park and instead of be-
ing routed through Nevada were
being sent over the Oregon trail and
thence into northern California. In
our efforts to excel in road building
and road knocking, as well as boost
ing, we should remember that what
helps one section of the state is
bound to help the whole state. So
instead, my future activities are
first going to be directed toward in
ducing tourists to travel the Lincoln
highway, but failing in that l cer-
tainly am not going to do anything
which might prevent them from
taking other highways of the state"
Mr.. and Mrs. Williams are "tak-
ing a year off" from the arduous
duties consequent to the publication
of their splendid newspaper, and
when this is mentioned in a plural
sense it may be taken literally as
written, for Mrs. Williams is her
husbands right hand bower in the
printing Office, relieving him of
much detail work. Their present
trips are taken primarily in the in
terest of Mr.. Williams health. Pre-
viously they have visited Lake Ia
hoe and other mountain points, re-
turning to Fallon about once a
month to see that things are mov-
ing along properly during their abb
sence.

HIGH SCHOOL BOY
DIED Of MEASLES
John Cody of Midas, Sixteen-Year-
Old Student of Elko High, Died
Unexpectedly in Hospital
Here Last Night

Another of those heart-breaking
tragedies wherein the young life of
a cherished son was snuffed out not
only too soon but with brutal un-
expectedness occurred at the Win
nemucca hospital last night when
John Cody, 16-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. John Cody Of Midas, died.
He was brought here some ten days
ago from the mining camp suffering
from measles and up to yesterday
had progressed steadily to normal
health. Yesterday he was up and
around and plans wre being made
by his mother, who was with him,
for the return to their home within
a two-day period. Last night he be-
came very i'll and the end came
quickly, an infection following
measles" developing and fairly
seeming to choke him to death. The
father, a mining engineer, was sum-
moned and brought here from Col
conda by Sheriff Geo. w. Brady.
Young Cody was a student of the
Elko county high school, having
served his freshman term in that
school last year. He was at an age
and of disposition to have been
a positive pleasure and comfort to
his parents and his passing is felt
keenly, particularly because of its
unexpectedness.
Funeral services will be held here
tomorrow aftrnoon.

WANTED-ONE DEER FOR
NEVADA'S CHIEF JUSTICE

Edw. A. Ducker, Winnemucca's
own chief justice of the Nevada
Supreme court, arrived here yes
terday from Carson City intent
upon getting ready for his annual
deer hunt. 1t is said that the judge
hires an Indian to stake one out FOR
him at convenient point each year,
SO that he may make his trip quickly
and come back covered in glory for
being really efficient hunter, and
the scheme has worked for years
with a single exception, and that
was when the judges Indian got
drunk and forgot to tie the rope
tightly, with the result that the.
judges buck got away before he
reached the hunting ground. This
breaking of his record, built up over
a period of many years, has never
set well with the judge and he has
been "kidded" numerically con-
cerning his lone failure to bring
back venison. Probably for that
reason it is fortunate that those
bootleggers who sell Indians liquor
are tried in the federal court, for if
one of them should come before
Judge Ducker it is possible he would
forget his habit of fairness and soak
said bootlegger extra well, hoping
that he might be the one who sold
the liquor to the judge Indian who
forgot to tie the deer securely.
The judge always stays over a few
days extra to visit and whether the
Indian fails this year or not his (the
judge's) friends are mighty glad to
see him.
