Plant. md Graxitation.

The sense Of gravitation in plants is
that sense, for example, that makes
pine tree grow straight upward. A
plant that curves assumes that position
because it's sense of gravitation makes
it take the one best suited to it's needs
Some flower stalks are very curiously
guided by the gravitation sense. The
narcissus is an example. AT first there
is a straight shaft piercing the ground
with its compact pointed flower bud,
but as the flower opens the stalk bends
close to the top and brings the flower
tube into a roughly horizontal position,
where it shows off its bright colored
crown to attract the insects, on the
visits of which it depends for fertiliza-
ton. The flowers are guided to the
right position by the gravitation sense,
and they increase or diminish the an
gular bend in their stalk until the
right position is attained.

Mexico has Il clever bird, called the
melanarpes, which has discovered a
use for the telegraph pole. At the foot
of the post this bird makes u large
hole, in which it rears its family Some

a Good Thing

German Syrup is the special prescrip-
ton of DR. A Boschee, celebrated Gel-
man physician, and is acknowledged
to be one of the most fortunate discov-
cries in medicine. 1t quickly cures
coughs, colds and all lung troubles of
the severest nature, removing, as it
does, the cause of the affection and
leaving the parts in strong and
healthy condition. 1t is not an exper
mental medicine, but has stood the
test of years, giving satisfaction in
every case. which its rapidly increasing
sale every season confirms. Two mill
ion bottles sold annually. Boschee's
German Syrup was introduced in the
United States in 1868, and is now sold
in every town and village in the civil
lied world. Three doses will relieve
any ordinary cough. Price IS cents.

Pierre, 8. ID. Nov. 3 editor
Times: We haven't seen any
thing in the Times on the other
side of municipal ownership. Be-
cause Mo Valley can operate the
waterworks system any where
near economically, is no reason
that you could take charge of the
electric and heating plants with
the same success. 1t is not out of
friendship for the owners of the
plants that | write you, but can
say with Mary McLane, from
municipal ownership "kind devil
deliver you" From what | know
and have seen, l could tell you the
most narrowing tales of gross mis-
management, of supercilious sem
ility, of arrogant overbearlng con-
ceit, of narrow minded bigotry
and all other obstacles that would
stand in the way of the best in
terests and improvement of the
plants.
It's we'll known that the light
ing and heating company has
never paid a dividend. They are
in a position now to earn some-
thing. Give them chance.
They have had their money in
vested for nearly fifteen years
without any return. Surely, you
wouldn't take their plants from
them now.
With the experience Of the
company before you, do you think
q ward healer, tin horn politician
or some other fellow with a
drag" could mike those plants
pay? 1t is the usual argum rent
for the shouters for municipal
ownership that the people would
get light chesper etc. etc. Can
any of your side tell how many
Iamp-hours or kilo-watt hours to
expect from ton of coal? What
do the ordinary councilman know
about heat-unit or a horse-pow-
err? Why don't you sell kerosene
and gasoline? Or couldn't you
start coal or wood yard? More
people would be benefited by such
a move.
For further calculation Of
this heating (and lighting) ques-
ton / can only refer you to some
of the writings of the profession.
Really, municipal ownership, as
usually conducted, is fake fraud
and fizzle. Yours

A New England Supper

Mrs j ID Brown invited few of her
lady friends last evening to a "spree,"
and although the hostess furnished
nothing stronger than pure Java and
Mocha, they certainly had their spree
if hllarity and whoesouled holiness
make up such a frolic. Each lady be-
came reminiscent and told some of the
most ludicrous occurrences in her
actual life experiences or of that of
acquaintance. which made very racy
spicy conversation and called forth
much merriment. The supper was
one of the kind that can only be furn-
ished by the house wives who received
their domestic training in New Eng
land homes, and followed through the
entire range from genuine Boston
brown bread to pumpkin pie that
melted IN the mouth"
The guests were Mrs Champlain,
Mrs Holbrook, Mrs Lahman, Mrs Colt,
Mrs Hosbrook, Mrs Il w Bates of
