Plants That Spread Quickly.

The dandelion is an old world flower,
not native in America, save far to the
north and IN some of the highest Of
our western mountains. But somehow
it was brought here, perhaps from Eng
land, in old colonial times. Now we see
it's golden heads and feathery balls at
every grassy roadside, the "clocks" the
boys and girls blow to tell the hour. A
few years ago farmers in the northwest
found a new weed, a vile, prickly weed,
in their wheatfields. In very short
time this weed, the Russian thistle, has
spread over wide acres of the best farm
land in that part of the country and has
done great injury to the crops.
How do these plants spread so fast
and so far? They are not carried about
and planted. No one would be so fool
ish as to SOW Russian thistles The
mother plant must have ways of her
own for sending her offspring abroad in
to the world Plants propagate them
selves in two ways, from seed or from
buds. Sometimes these buds are borne
on slender runners. A strawberry plant,
after it has blossomed, begins to send
out such runners, with buds, unfolding
tufts Of leaves, along them. These tufts
are at first connected with the parent
plant, but later the runners between
break away, and each tuft becomes a
new plant. Many grasses, like Bermuda
grass and the troublesome quick or couch
grass. have creeping stems, each joint
sending out bunch of roots below and
bud on the upper side. If you try to hoe
up such grasses, You only make matters
worse. for each joint when cut off is
ready to form an independent plant.
Such grasses spread very fast and soon
take possession of the land they get
into. Thomas II. Kearney, Jr., in st.

1 SOLID SOUTH" FOR PROJECTION

The "solid South" is broken. That
is the most important part OF the great
victory for the American principle OF
protection to American industry and TO
American labor. That Is the victory
within the victory. There Is no doubt
but there has, for some time, been
growing up In the South strong sem
timent for protection. The South has
begun to realize the great wealth Of its
natural resources and is developing
those resources. With that develop
ment has come the realization of the
absolute necessity for a protective
tariff for South as we'll as for North.
Prejudice, party affiliations, remains
OF the ''old war feeling" have COM
bined to hold our fellow countrymen OF
the South back. But at last, prejudice,
partisanship, remembrances of old diff
ferences have all been broken down by
the terrible pressure OF hard times.
Free-Trade legislation has destroyed
confidence; northern capital has been
withheld and withdrawn from the
South; southern industries have Ian
guished; the development OF the re-
sources of the South has stopped short.
The experience has been enough to
destroy prejudices OF even thirty years
standing. The 'solid South" has gone
forever. The Southern Protectionists
have come with us to stay. Henceforth
we are all American citizens, banded
together, not only for the development
and prosperity of our own respective
sections, but for the advancement and
progress OF our whole country. We
shall soon have the ''solid South" for
protection

A Few
Thoughts
. N
OPTICS 3!

The eye is one of the most
delicate organs of the human
system. How the picture of a
whole landscape can be repro
duced upon portion of the retina
less than the size of a penny and
from there conducted to the
brain along the optic nerve is one
of the wonders of creation. Ma
ture has protected it from posi-
BILE injury with bony framework
on either side. This important
and delicate organ sometimes
gets out of order.
Now any school boy can tell
you that if you are near sighted
it is due to a shortening of the
eye and is rectifed by a concave
lens. But there is more to OPP
tics than simply the principles of
the lens. There are anatomical
and pathological changes which
must be taken into account in
order to properly correct defec-
tive vision. We have recently
purchased a new test case and
full line of frames and lenses and
you can have your eyes fitted by
DIR. Morris in a manner as to
absolutely guarantee fit.
