Watch Lost IL Years
Owner PlOughs It Tn

Twelve years ago Hartwell Lyons,
who lives on the Leavitt road lost
his watch. 1t was a large, silver,
old fashioned one, built on practical
sturdy lines and such as a father
might give to his son. The watch
was much valued by Mr.. Lyons for
just that reason, because it was a
gift from his father. Only a little
over week ago, Mr.. Lyons was
ploughing in one of the fields at his
farm and he ploughed up that
watch. He was very much sur
prised man, but his surprise went
even farther, when upon taking the
timepiece to the jeweler he found
that the watch was still good. The
stem and the hands were rusted, but
the jeweler fixed those alright and
now the old silver ticker goes just
as good as ever. Now l know what
to do with my watch" is the re-

It is some times call a tree thief, for it gets all its nourishment from the trees upon which it lives. In the South one may see thousands of trees literally fes- tooned with the Mistletoe. It some times grows in the form of witches broom, or one may see it dangling in graceful array. It always appro priates for it's own development the life blood of the tree upon which it feeds. Soc 400 species of Mistletoe are listed. Most of them occur in the tropics, and nearly all of them are parasitic. Many varieties are found in the, United States. They occur from the coast of New Jersey south ward and westward
 'In Oklahoma the Mistletoe has been selected as the state flower. If you question an OkIahoman about the parasitic plant as a state flower, he tap a maple tree for syrup, and the pine tree for turpentine, it is fair for the M1stletoe to tap trees so that it may develop and became availab for decorative use. Examination of the leaves of the Mist1etoe show they are almost nerveless, thick and f1eshy, ana a magn11ylnS glass Will show only about 200 breathing pores to the square inch, while in the common H. lac there occurs at least 100000 breathing poGe9 to the square inch.
 Large quantities of Trailing Pine also known as Princess Pine, and Ground Hemlock are used at Christ mas time. These plants really are rot pines or hemloci1s, but are closely related to the ferns.
 "As Christmas trees can be raised a a profit, nOSSihlo n raise the Christmas Holly and the Mfstletoe by artificial means In that way an adequate supply may be insured for the future, and all those who contribute towards the develop ing of successful methods of propa- gating these plants will insure the welfare and happiness of future gen. erations.
