Sunflower and the Sun.

"The sunflower." said naturalist,
as the most decetful of all plants, for
1t has fooled six nations.
six nations believe that the sun
flower turns toward the sun. and so
thoroughly are they deluded they call
it by name which bears witness to
their error.
THUS the French call the sunfiower
tournesol. The Spanish call it girasol.
The Italians call it girasole. The Hun
garians call it naptaforgo. Each of
these words means turn to the sun.
The English and Americans don't go
quite that far in admitting themselves
to be the plants dupes. They only call
1t sunflower. They mean by that
name, though, quite as much as the
other names imply. The belief is gen
eral among six nations that the sun
flower turns with the sun and always
faces the luminary
"As matter of fact there is only
one flower that turns or keeps with
the sun. namely the sun spurge."

COUNTY ORDERS ABOVE PAR
SHERIFF GARDNER SAYS NO 30
CENT ORDERS HERE.
Supreme Court Decides That Sheriff
Of Kanswha County Must Take
Deprecated Orders.

| It seems that over In kanawha
county orders have been below par. II
Is asserted that old county orders had
deprecated until they sold as low as
ten cents on the dollar Orders is
sued during the last year have sold
as low as 80 cents on the dollar. but
they are all worth par today.
The supreme court rendered a de.
cision recently to the effect that these
orders must be taken by the sheriff
If presented in payment Of taxes.
Sheriff Gardner told World report
er that there were no eighty cent or
ders in Berkeley county that they
were all good for a dollar
The decision rendered by the court
Wednesday morning is sweeping
one. Judge George Poffenberger
wrote the opinion and the subject is
given an exhaustive review. The eff
feet Of the decision will be almost rev.
dictionary in Kanawha county as there
are at the present time orders out
standing to the amount of 100000 or
more.
The style of the case is the state
eX rel Trust company vs. Melton The
plaintiff is the Kanawha Banking &
Trust company and the defendant is
the sheriff OF Kanawha county. The
Trust company rendered the sheriff
$500 worth OF county orders In pay
ment of taxes. which the sheriff refus-
ed to accept The trust company then
entered suit In the circuit court and
was awarded a mandamus from which
appeal was taken by Melton
The effect of the decision is to make
all taxes payable in county orders,
which is OF far reaching Importance
to the public. inasmuch as it will in
crease the value of county orders to
par The public for many years have
been in doubt as TO whether or not
they could pay their taxes in county
orders. but on being told by the sheriff
they could not pay them at all, or only
in part. they accepted it as final, AMI
it was left to the Kanawha Banking &
rust company to fight the matter
through the courts
The decision, however, while pri-
marily victory for the trust company
is equally a victory for every taxnayer
in the county and will eventually save
them thousands of dollars, as the
county's affairs, must in the future be
conducted on a cash basis

Next Friday the postponed donation party at the woman's Club will be held. Tea towels, dust cloths, mop cloths-in, fact, anything that apper. tains to the housekeeping department of an up-to-date club. will be in order, and welcomed.
 The social department of the club which is in charge of Mrs. J. H. No Ian, has organized 6 sort of by-club of their own, to hold dances on Mon day nights. This is strictly a club affair; only members of the Women's 6 club, with their husbands and sweet hearts, are among the elect.
 Last Friday was Current Events day at the club house, the afternoon being in charge of Mrs. Philbrook, who discharged the honor of the day in her usual able manner. being assist ed by Mrs. J. E. Morrison, of the music committee. Those who sang and played were Mrs. Nolan and Mrs. Charles Bledsoe. Mrs. George Buxton fects of New Laws in Arizona" and Miss S6cn read paper on Japanese literature. This was new line for the club, going to the Orient for their subject, and proved very instructive to all. Mrs. Morrison read extracts from Gov. Kibbey's message to the legislative body now in session in Phoenix relative to affairs at the In- dustrial School at Benson. Governor Kibbey is using his influence toward a juvenile court law for Arizona, which has been sorely needed in this Teni- tory since time began for Arizona as a commonwealth. It is more than hoped that the governors influence and backing will give us this law dur. ing the present session of the Arizona legislature Mrs. Charles Bledsoe read an interesting paper on Current Literature" which is given below:
 In the December Outlook the ques- tion as to whether the creative spirit in literature is dead or dormant was discussed by Thomas W. Higginson, H. w. Boynton, Henry Holt, Henry NJ. Alden and Edward Everett Hale. The view held by these men is that it is neither dead nor dormant; that 1t is creative, though in a vastly different way from that of the earlier part of the nineteenth century. It seems tC be an age of prose, however, rather than of poetry.

CUBA BUYS OUR COAL

Cuba is a good purchaser of Amer. ican coal, receiving last year over 6O0,000 tons. which is appreciably more than heretofore. This coal is of the bituminous variety. and there is a probability that future buying will be larger. In fact, preparations have been made by the Monongaheia River Consolidated Coal and Coke company of Pittsburg~to ship coal entirely by water to Havana. an experiment that has never before been attempted Twelve specially constructed steel barges, 4S by 200 feet and feet deep, with a capacity of 12,000 bushels oi Coal, having weather-proof covers and built for ocean service, have recently been purchased by the Monongahela company. The coal will be loaded at the mines into the barges, which will be sent down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to New Orleans and from there to Havana.

The investigations of Prof. Unna and other mo- ted dermatologists prove what many have learned by actual experience, viz: that ordinary hair rem edies are intellectual to prevent hair loss and that to be successful, the dandruR germ must be de- stroyed and kept out of the scalp.
 The success of Newbro's Herpicide has demon strated to the people at large the ncorrectness of old theories relative to treating the hair and scalp Even the Manufacturers of other hair remedies recognize the inevitable and, one by one, they are changing their remedies to conform to the germ theory of dandruH.
 But why experiment with remedies that have not been tried? Herpicide is the original success so why bother with substitutes at any price?
 More men and women have gotten positive re- suits from the Of New5roG Herpcide than from all other hair remedies combined e company, Departnnent L, Detroit, Mich.
