OPINION oN pucKEr sHors
Law Prohibiting Them Operative Jan uRry 1, Hut High License
 Meanwhile

Hon. A. M. Garber. Attorney Gen eral. will give an opinion in a few days regarding the time when the new license tax on dealers in future contracts will become effective.
 The recently enacted license tax law fixes the license of future dealers at $5.000. which by many is considered practically prohibitive. and if the law is declared immediately effective. as some believe 1t will be. many dealers will be forced out of business.
 The law prohibiting dealing in fu- lures becomes effective January 1. 1908, and it had been expected by the dealers that they would De allowed to operate in 1907 as in previous years If, however, they have to pay li- cense tax of $S.000 at once. most Of the dealers. it is thought, will straight way have to close their offices.
 The dealers now operating have paid S700 license tax and this amount would he deducted from the $5,00O they would pay under the new license tax law

 MISS ANDREWS LECTURES
 ON aNATIvE WILD FLOwERs.'
 The members of the Paul Hayne So- ciety, and a number of other persons who wer invited to enjoy the occa- sion were indebted to Miss Fanny An drews for her very instructive lecture yesterday at the High School on the subject of Native Wild Flowers" Miss Andrews is we'll up on the subject, which she handled from the viewpoint of one who has devoted much time and study to 1t. Among the points to which she called attention is the fact that there is not month of the year dur ing which we are devoid of the pleas ure of flowers In our woods and fields; that in January there are few speci- mems in February about forty kinds, in March hundreds. and in April and May, numberless varieties
 Miss Andrews suggested that the flowers of each period of the year would serve as an accurate calendar. Show her the flowers just in bloom and she could tell you the month. She even went so far as to state that each week in each month had it's flowers that are due and their appearance could indicate the exact time to one who studied the subject.
 Miss Andrews touched Interestingly on the life of the flowers and the pur- pose in their brightness and beauty and the purpose on natures part in their gay decking to make themselves attractive for the perpetuation of the specie.
 Tn her lecture Miss Andrews en- joined the girls of the High School to love the flowers of which she had talked to them. and pleaded that they not wantonly destroy them; that they be not vandals but in gathering the beautiful blossoms always leave more than they gathered--for the sake of the seeds for the next season.
 Miss Andrews was provided with quantity of wild flowers by the pu- pills of the High School and she ana iyzed them and gave their botanical names for the instruction of her audi ence
