The flowers are small. purple or yellowish and often mottled with red. The root is like small mass of coral formation. Gold thread blossoms in this same swamp, but has never been brought in by the pupils. To enter this swamp and be able to re- turn from its dark depths with any sort of certainty one needs compass. Among the flowers brought in Wednes- day was. thorn-apple, also called James town weed. This plant is in bloom, with its showy white flowers, mostly in waste places. It came from Asia. and was called by the Indians, White mans plant" Some years ago there used to be an old woman who paid the children to bring the leaves to her.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Davis Theatre Sunday, Monday, ru

Davis Theatre Sunday, Monday, Tuesdav
 Rarely indeed does the public have an opportunity of witnessing a screen production, far removed from all that is sordld and repugnant, and yet one which touches upon every shade of human emo- ton. In The Mistress of Shenstone. a fSoDeftson-Cole super-special starring Pauline Frederick, famous emotional act ress, such production is presented. The picture opens at the Davis theatre to- morrow night for three day run.
 Adapted from the well known noval by Florence L. Barclay, The Mistress of Shenstone, tells a tale of love, sacrifice and honor that has had few counterparts o nthe screen. It is a page out of real life, throbbing with dramatic action, but with all as clean and wholesome as a prairie wind.
 In the film version of this tremendous story, which contains a theme of vital importance to thousands of men and women all over the world, the actors are not merely players of characters assign ed to them, but are real live men and women, who think, love, suffer, make mistakes and go on stumbling through life, touching now and then upon great beauty and happiness.
 Pauline Frederick, with all the art at her command, invests the character of Lady Ingleby, with Q sympathy. strength of character and humanness, which even the power of the written world failed to convey. Her work is Q revelation that must need be seen to be appreciated. If you were asked Whats worth while?" what would your answer be? In the vague sort of way you have always ' told yourself that you knew. but the i chances are that you have never given the subject serious thought.
 | Telling yourself q thing Is easy, but how would your thoughts on this subject ! sound. if spoken? If you were to keer that thought Whats Worth While" be
 fore you. dissect 1t and then practict
 1t, you'd never have cause to say Tn sure unluclSy," and when your day'i
 work is over you would know it hat been conscientiously done and youi
 nights sleep would be sweet.
 Lois Weber has adapted the though
 What's Worth While" to the screen ant its not a sermon. but picture of grip
 ping heart interest from stem to stern
 in which this producer-director has woI fresh laurels. Whats Worth While ?
 will be the second feature.
