sunflower Most DeceitfuI of Plants.

''The sunfower," said a naturalist,
sis the most deceitful of all plants, for
it has fooled six nations. Six nations
believe that the sunfiower turns to-
ward the sun. and so thoroughly are
they deuded that they call it by a
name which bears witness to their err
ror Thus, the French call the sun,
flower tournesol; the Spanish call it
girasol: the Italians call it girasole;
the Hungarians call 1t 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 general among six nations
that the sunflower 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 SDurge"

as a mastery piece Of gerrymander-

minimum the representation on the

These various evils are ascribed to

port:
We have examined 1914 witnesses

the pension rolls and find them all
right. We have inspected the poor
house and find it in as bad condition
as is possible to be. The house is in
delapidated condition and unfit to
live in: the farm run down and grow
ing up in briars. and in fact the
whole thing is disgrace to Rankin

should be better provided for In food
and clothing. We find from our
Supervisor report that our public
roads are in very good condition
