Mrs. T. S. Wells, who is suffer
| ing with an attack Of pneumonia,
does not show any Improvement
so we are informed, yet it is
thought she will recover. Mr..
Wells is now able to be out OF
the house after several days con-
finement suffering with some
fractured ribs, which was done
while working in the woods.
C. B. Jemison, C. A. Wernecke
and Rev. Ashby made a flying
trip to the jug yesterday in the
new automobile. They were not
many minutes going, but it is very
! difficult to run in the mud. Ev-
ery one who has examined the
machine pronounces it to be very
fine, and all are anxious for sum-
mer time, so they may be permit
ted to take a trip to Sistersville
/ in it. - .
Ex-Sheriff Grim, accompanied
by Geo. M. West of Richmond,
va, who represents the West
Publishing company, had an ex-
perience last evening on their
way from Sistersville that we
would venture to say they would
not want again soon. After cross
| ing the PIT. Pleasant bridge just
beyond the Coppage toll gate, the
bolt that holds the single tree fell
out, and let it fall to the ground,
striking one of the horses, caus-
ing it to jump to one side OF the
road, upsetting the buggy and
throwing it's occupants out in the
mud. They were obliged to walk
Into town in the mud. Luckily
mo one was hurt, but the travellers
were very muddy.
Wednesday at about $3.50 p. m.
the long-looked-for automobile
made it's appearance on our
streets, amid the shouts OF men,
women and children. 1t being a
holiday the people and school
children were at liberty to be on
the streets, and when the message
stating it's departure from Sisters
vile was announced everybody
was in readiness for it's appear
ance. Some were so anxious to
get the first glimpse of the "anl-
mali that they went some dis
lance out of town to meet 1t and
it's occupants, only to be reward
ed with a passing glance as 1t
rushed by them. On the main
street it made a very swift run,
and stopped at the Tyler House,
when three young ladies boarded
it for the initiatory ride over to
the barn, and it failed to take
them to their destination, and
they were forced to alight at the
Swan House. The trouble, though
was the lack of gasoline to create
the power. 1t will certainly be a
very rapid and comfortable mode
of transportation when the roads
get better, but we presume the
hacks and Twyman's horselesS
carriages will have plenty Of Gus
tom among the travelling public
for some weeks yet this winter
and spring.

ROOTS OF CANADA THISTLE
Discussion by Experts as to Theory
That They Have alternating

The experiment stations have done
practically nothing along the line Of
investigating the alternating qualities
of the root stalk Of certain plants.
Therefore, no one cares to assume the
responsibility of clearly declaring that
the root stalk possesses no hibernat-
ing quality. On account of the tenaci-
ty of the root stalk Of the Canada this
tie, and the dif1iculty with which farm
ers succeed in eradicating it from the

will warrant a clearly defined denial
of the supposition that the root stalks
Of the Canada thistle have hibernat-
ing qualities.
In reference to this matter Lyster H.
Dewey, bureau of plant industry,
Washington. writes:
"It is a we11-known fact that when
conditions are unfavorable for growth
the roots and rootstalk of many plants
remain practically dormant. This is
true of the Canada thistle, as OF many
other plants propagated in a similar
manner. do not think we could state,
however, with certainty that one por-
tion of the rootstalk or one set of roots
remains dormant while others con-
tinue to grow. 1t is sometimes thought
that while roots and root stalks are
dormant they are weaker in vitality,
and this is the best time to attack
them, with a view of exterminating
the plants. In general, however, this
lis an erroneous supposition. When
these. underground parts are dormant
they can withstand cultivation and
other rough treatment that would kill
them if they were more active and in
condition to send up roots at every
opportunity"
DR.. L. H. Pammel, botanist Iowa ex-
pertinent station, Ames, considers that
the life of the root stalk is limited. He
writes:
"The length Of time that the Canada
thistle may retain it's vitality under
conditions mentioned has not been
definitely determined. am Of the
opinion, however, that it cannot be
for great length of time.
THE case of the alternating condi-
tions of the cookie burr is quite diff
ferent thing. The. cookie burr seed Is
protected by a very hard coat, which
prevents the moisture from getting in
to the plant. The root stalk OF the
Canada thistle is feshy, and hence
cannot protect itself from unfavorable
conditions in the same way as the
cookie burr. However, this is q SUBJ
ject worthy of investigation"
Prof. A. M. Ten Eyck. agriculturist
of the Kansas experiment station, aft
er calling attention to the hibernating
qualities of seeds in general. goes on
to say:
'Wether portions of the Canada this
tie root stalk lie dormant in this way
waiting for a favorable condition to
grow | am unable to say. Certain it il
that the roots of the Canada thistle
have a great deal of vitality and ara
able to start again and again, even
when the plants are cut on almost as
rapidly as the shoot appears at the
surface of the ground. Canada this
ties may be destroyed, however, by
hoeing them frequently and keeping
up the practice until the plants fail
to start. think that the reason that
they have not been fully killed in
some cases is due to the fact that they
are neglected occasionally and allowed
to grow sufficiently to revitalize the
roots"
G. w. Churchill, agriculturist Oh the
New York experiment station at Gene
va, says:
Il do not know OF any experimental
data that would warrant definite con-
clusions regarding the propagation OF
the Canada thistle. What practical
knowledge we have. however. it seems
to me would be adverse to the theory
propounded. We know that by keep
ing the Canada thistle cut of so that
no growth is allowed for season they
are practically extermineted.

FROM TEXAS.
kome Coffee Facts from the Lone
Star State.

From beautiful farm down in Tex
rs, where gushing springs unite to
form babbling brooks that wind their
sparkling way through flowery meads,
comes a note Of gratitude for delivery
from the coffee habit.
when my bat boy came to me five
years ago, I began to drink Postum
Food Coffee, having a feeling that it
would be better for him and me than
the old kind of drug-laden coffee. I
was not disappointed in it, for 1t en-
abled me, small delicate woman, to
nurse bouncing healthy baby IA
months.
81 have since continued the use Of
Postum, for have grown fond of it,
and have discovered to my joy that it
has entirely relieved me of bilious
habit which used to PROSTATE me two
or three times year, causing much
discomfort to my family and suffering
to myself. *
my brother-in-law was cured Of
chronic constipation by leaving of the
old kind Of coffee and using Postum.
He has become even more fond of it
than he was Of the old coffee.
''In fact the entire family, from the
latest arrival Ca 2-year-old who always
calls for his 'potie' first thing in the
morning), up to the head of the house,
think there is no drink SO good or Sc
wholesome as Postum" Name given
