A Wonder-The Resurrection Plant. .
Baltimore San.

Semper Viva, or the Rose of Jericho plant
TO which Isaiah is said to have referred in the
Scriptures as 1.-The rolling thing before the
whirlwind," is flower which a recently
established agency in this city proposed to
place on the local novelty market. The plant
is also known as the resurrection plant
and will bloom inside of 10 minutes after being
placed in tepid water. Previously the plant is
in the shape of shrunken ball of tightly
colled leaflets dry and apparently dead. AS
soon as immersed, however, the tips begin to
unfold, and in few minutes the plant resem-
bies large green plate. When taken from
the water it will again curl up and become
dry, but will bloom any number OF times when
placed in the water. Besides the beauty of
the plant, it is said to be healthful, and its
perfume acts as germ destroyer and deodor-
izer. 1t is said to grow in abundance in a
number of Oriental countries

Arcadia, 9th District With the kind Of
weather that is raging at the present time
Tuesday it is enough to cause those who do
not recognize grounding day as a weather
prognosticator to think that possibly there is
some truth in the predictions.
Before the present snow fell the mud was so
deep that the roads were very nearly impassa-
BILE and what will they be when the snow
melts? And they will probably continue in
that condition until the last of March.
Why don't the County Commissioners have
hard material used to mend the roads instead
of simply running these scrapers over them
and throwing a little dirt into the middle of
them. Many of our farmers would be glad to
put stone on the road if they were allowed a
small compensation for it, because it would
save them great many times from making
large stone piles upon their farms.
Messrs. N. N. Bortner & Son. who some time
ago purchased the store stand of Mr.J. W. Chalk.
are very euterprisng and will make it one of
the finest stores in this section of the county.
Mr.. Theodore Gill has purchased house in
this village and will move into it about
April LIST.
l am glad to see that two of our most enter
prising citizens have been selected to serve as
jurors at the March term of court
Mr. William Benson, who constructed a silo
last fall, is more than pleased with the results
derived from it. N.

LOOKS LINZ
! HUQ[ BLUFF
Game of Master Builders
Against the Trades
Council

labor conditions are badly strained
this morning. At the meeting of the
Master Builders association Saturday
| night they determined not to allow
| the union men to return to work on
any of the building now In course
| of construction unless the union men
agreed to renounce the building trades
council.
1t looks like case of trying a
hugo bluff in the hopes of finishing
| the disruption of the building trades
| council, which is already in a very
bad way. However the bluff seems
to have been called this morning. and
as far as can be learned the unions
treat the matter as a joke, as they
are well aware that the master build
ers must complete their buildings and
can not afford to tie up operations on
them by their own volition. When
| operations are tied up by a strike
they are not held to their contracts,
but they can not stop things them
selves without being held RESPONSE
BILE for their contracts to complete the
work.
The plumbers are still holding out
against what appears to be enormous
odds, for by refusing the proffered
help of the other unions when they
to aid them, the plumbers voluntarily
struck their own cause a blow. They
still express all manner of confidence.
