CALLED AID TO lDLEAEss
Many Good Reasons Why the Banana
Has : Perfect Right to That
Classification.

Bananas. according TO a legend cur
rent in tropical countries. are the orig
inal apples of the Garden of Eden
along with the serpent and Mrs
Adam. the cause of mans fall. At
least. they tend to serve a similar pur-
pose in these times because they are
almost equal TO the coconuf palm as
an aid to idleness-
An acre of bananas will yield 80
times as much food as an acre of po-
tafoes and 10 times as much as wheat.
The banana is immune to almost every
plant disease and has fewer insect
enemies than any other fruit 1t viii
grow on poo land. If need be. and
will distance any weed or shrub that
tries to contest its claim TO soil and
sunlight
The banana is the neither fish,
flesh, nor fowl" of the plant king
dom. 1t is usually classified as a
tree. but it is not 4 tree. Although 1t
atfains a height of 80 feet there is
no wood fiber in the stalk. The
punches of fruit on the dwarf yarie--
lies are often heavier than the re-
mainder of the plant tt IS not a
palm, nor an herb. nor a bush. o a
shrub. and il is not a vegetable. In
some distant way it may be related
to the grasses. but the relationship
is SO distant that it stands in a class
by itself.

BEFUDDIED GERMANS

Say Americans Are Likely to
Come Over Top Any Time,
Spelling Things.

That the Americans present entirely
new problems to the siow-thinking Ger
mans is indicated by a letter from
Sergt. B. s. Watts to his father in
Pittsburgh. German prisoners that
talk English tell us that the Americans
are crazy he writes. "They don't know
What they are doing, and are liable to
come Over the top any time and break
up the natural order Of things.
Before the Huns started this open
warfare the whole affair was cut and
dried. First, the Germans would put
over a barrage and then attack. and
then the French would take their
turn. But the marines are liable to
go over any time. barrage or no bar

of the American in him. They eve

there is no chance of loosening the

Praise Of open Fires.

To many of US plain bread-and-but-

A FLowERY ROMANCE
(Ocaleean Ensign)

Mrs. Asparagus Fern, OF Rose Hill,
gave a delightful Hop last evening TO
her friends, Marguerite and Narcis-
sus. The spacious lawn was profusely
decorated with flowers of every hue
and fragrance. Jack-o-Lanterns were
hung from the boughs of Dogwood
trees, and Fox Fire glowed from ev-
cry nook and corner. Music was fur
nished by the String Bean Band, with
an occasional solo from Ragged
Robin, who was perched nearby on a
Wild Grape Vine.
A delightful salad course was serv-
ed with Sweet Peas and Muehrooms.
Tea was poured by Myrtle and Ivy,
from large Blue Bottles with dainty
Buttercups.
Every invitation had been eagerly
accepted, and Jonquil was especially
delighted with, his, as he had met
Blackeyed- Susan at the Beech last
summer and did Pine to see her again,
and you may suppose he didn't forget

from Sage Mr.. Elderberry and Prim-

Thyme, as there were Phlox of other
varieties.
1t being leap year, she was soon
coquetting with Sweet William, who
has Mint of money. He Hedged
about, but as she pinned Love Apple
on his lapel with a Pine Needle, he
called her Daisy, and placing Car
rot ring on her finger, kissed her
Tulips and said he hoped she would
never Rue the step.
"We Cantaloupe today" said he,
"but if nothing will Turnip to inter

from the Trumpet Flower. The brides

carried Bridal Wreath. The groom
was handsome with his Fox Gloves
on, and the bride was as pure as Q

her brow.
All went well with the young cou-
pie until Bell Pepper told that she
saw Sweet William give Bouncing
