A Mystery Of the Trees.
From Youths Communion.

Nroiu 1VutH companion.
One OF the most puzzling questions In
botany Is why or how does water rise to
the top of tree?" Various explanations
OF the phenomenon have been proposed. but
none Is regarded as altogether satisfactory.
DR.. e. B. Copeland recently attacked the
problem by means Of interesting. and novel
experiments: For instance. he constructed
found that water moved upward in 1t more
than forty feet high. Yet he was unable to
base any definite conclusion upon the re-
suits that he obtained. The water travels
q large part OF, the way In q Him. between
bubbles on one side and the wall Of the con-
Quoting vessel on the other. But the physi-
cal properties Of the aim are ynt unknown.

A BUSINESS PROBLEM.

Business in Viuita is conducted
generally on a cash basic, which
is the surest and best way Of stay
ing In business, but during the
coming monthe there are many
good farmers who will have TO
have a limited amount of credit.
Last years crop failure made 1t
especially hard on exclusive grain
farmers and to properly conduct
their farming operations during
this winter and the spring, and
until crops begin to be harvested
and put on the market, supplies
will have TO be had. Goods are
sold so cheap in Vinita that credit
is next to impossible for any great
length Of time, and TO raise the
price Of goods to reputable custom

solve the problem by making small
loans on good security at reason.

The Holderman case has gone
over to the May term Of court
The government has made a great
big bluff, aud at a cost Of great
many thousands OF dollars. Hold
erman is charged with excessive
land holding in the Cherokee ma
tion. There ought to be a law
against such holdings, but in the
absense of such a law the action
Of the government is purely arbi.
trary. There are several gangs oi
men under the employ Of the
Dawes commission going about
over the Cherokee nation sizing
up land holdings of Cherokee citi.
zens with a view to criminal pros.
ecution. The money is worse
than wasted, because there is no
law under which these monopo
lists can be reached. Let it fret
be determined just what pro rata
share of Cherokee land is, then
force every citizen to take their
allotments. A little com.
mon, horse sense injected into the
government officials who have
these matters in hand, would save
lots of expense and 10 little an.
noyance to court and people.
