In this case the jokes on the COW
She's fooled into the belief that thI,
little, harmless plant will bite her. The
plant helps with the joke by mas
querading as a dangerous weed, will

flea. This plant is the dead nettle.
One Of its cousins. the singing net

hairs. The COW has learned to avoid
the weed. So the dead 'nettle makes ur
TO look like its cousin. and the COW
leaves II aIone 35e slHr F '.3iW
The dead nettle grows IN waste
places all over eastern United States
1t isn't as useful as its near relative In
the East Indies md In China, called
ramie This relative also is harmless
and plays similar jokes on Chinese
cows and other grazing animals.
But ramie furnishes a vegetable
fiber which is stronger than hemp, az
fine and shiny as silk 1t is used in
making cordage and nets. and paper
made from 1t Is used for banknotes.
SO when the ramie initiates the sting
ing nettle 1t is protecting itself from
grazing animals so 1t may grow into
money.-Philadelphi North American

for their next annual State conven-

with the, Sumter people by e. T.

lima Christian Endeavor union. and
q leader in the Sumter Endeavor
work. and he writes to Columbia off,
GERS Of the union that the young peo-
pie OF that city will entertain all the
delegates. attending the convention.
