also maple sugar, sugar made from

ls Of Local Interest.

The following item Is of interest
because Mrs. NJ. Sears Brooks OF
Madison, Ind, is the mother of Mrs,
J. J. Chapman of Keokuk, and because
of the arguments in favor Of the Sc
lection of the columbine az national
flower. The clipping is from Wash
ington. D. c.. paper:
| There is one flower, old-fashioned,
which may become new-fashioned II
she efforts Of its admirers are sue
cessful, and that is the columbine,
which has been suggested as the ma
tional flower by the Columbine asso-
citation, whose single aim is "to bring
about the Anal adoption of the column
bine as the national flower OF the
United States.
In support OF this aim the trans
actions Of the Massachusetts Horu-
cultural society for the year 1898
contain the following:
In the west. as we learn from re-
cen. information, this candidate 1.-THE
columbine) was suggested by NJ Sears
Brooks of Madison, Indiana. In 1891.
The principal arguments tnen adj
VauC0u lIS IdfOI al oS ASANS"S'
Whenever flower has been adopted
by any country it has been because OF
some symbolic meaning. Not merely
that it was beautiful, but that In some
way it represented some historic
even. or exhibited some characteristic
quality. we have such flower in the
wild columbine. First, because 1t
wears our national colors, red, white
and blue. Growing in every section
OF our country, its color at the south
Is more often blue, at the north 1t Is
white, while in .his locality 1t Is RED
with golden interior, typical, 1t
would seem, OF the blood and treas
ure expended to secure the Ohio val
LEY to an English speaking people
! Botanically the wild columbine be-
longs to the genus "Aquilegia," whose
name is derived from the Latin Aquila,
or eagle, ever regarded as the emblem
of dignity and might. and adopted as
our national emblem. From these
facts we see established symbolic
claim for the wild columbine to which
no other flower can pretend.
