Mrs. Indian Antelope smiled.

Then Billie went to say "Hello" to
the White-Bearded Gnu.
His white hair was around his eyes
and upon his chin and he was talking
to his cousin, the Brlndled or Blue
Gnu, and to his other cousin, the
White-Tailed Gnu.
They were all rather gloomy looking
and didn't have much to say for them
selves.
1--WE came from Africa" the White
Tailed Gnu said. 1--WE have queer
looks.
81 know that my nose is strange in
shape, my horns are as queer as can
be.
MY hips are ridiculous and my long
tail, which looks like the tail Of a
horse, is quite absurd for me.
Years ago a member of my family
was called the Horned Horse! But
Of course he wasn't q horned horse any
more than am now, and none of my
family were, but we do look a little
that way. Yes, little that way" he
ended as Billie Brownie said that he
feared 1t was time for him to leave.

PRICE OF LABOR FAVORABLE
Indications Are That There Will Be-
No Drawbacks Along That
Line This Season.

Labor costs on federal-aid projects
under construction this year indicate
that there will be no drawback along
this line in the building of roads dur
ing the coming season, according to
the bureau of public roads. United
States Department of Agriculture. The
price for common labor ranged around
20 and 30 cents an hour in great ma
Jority of the states, being somewhat
lower in the Southern states and 60
ing up TO nearly 80 cents an hour in
the Pacific states. The prices of
teams reported were in a great many
instances as low as the 1914 level. 1t
is probable, however, that there will
be an increase when the farming sea-
son begins, as teams have always
been cheaper in winter.

other roads are built branching out

Papal Robes.

During the election of new pope
it is customary to prepare in ad-

of different sizes, as no one can tell

Norris on Muscle Shoals.

When Senator Norris voices opposition TO
the Henry Ford proposal for long lease on
the Muscle Shoals plant, in which the federal
government has so much invested, it does not
mean that the senator is averse to the completion
OF the work and the operation of the plant. 1t
simply attests his judgment of the offer made by
the great manufacturer. Senator Norris has
examined both the plant and the proposal, and
has reached the conclusion that it would be
bad bargain for the United States to let the great
investment 60 on the terms offered. The Mus
Gle Shoals installation should be completed to
the point where it can be made available for its
iul service. This service should be rendered on
terms equitable to all, and must not become
source OF revenue to private parties. 1t has been
carried on so far at public expense, and even if
leased to Ford. the greater part of the unfin-
ished work must be done at public charge. It
can and should be completed and managed in
such fashion as will make its possibilities for
power available on terms that will enable the de-
velopment of the nitrate industry, the extension
OF manufacturing in the range of the plant, and
yet return to the government something on the
huge sum Of capital it represents. Senator Nor
ris has in mind that plan OF this nature should
be adopted, and it is not likely that congress in
its present mood will permit one of the coun-
try's great assets to slip so easily into private
control as the Ford proposition contemplates.

Frost Stimulates Gr0wh

According to common belief, cold weather
causes plants to become dormant during the
fall while warm weather the succeeding spring
again incites new growth. Intensive investiga-
tions of Dr. Frederick V. Covile of the Federal
Department of Agriculture, which have been
conducted over a period OF 10 years and which
have covered every phase of this subject, demon
strate that both of these traditional theories are
erroneous. Dormancy in our native trees and
shrubs begins some time before the start OF cold
weather each winter; the appearance of Jack
Frost is not necessary for the establishment OF
complete dormancy. Furthermore, after such a
condition OF dormancy has developed exposure Of
the plants to the ordinary growing temperature
thereafter does not arouse them from their
lethargy so that they begin growth anew.
Interestingly enough, the Coville experiments
show that plants which have responded to the
lure of autumnal and winter dormancy will not
react properly and resume normal growth the
following spring unless they are subjected during
the interim to period of chilling. A certain
amount of cold is essential to stimulate the plant
growth-despite the old-fashioned idea that re-
tarded growth and low temperatures were sy-
1cnymous Dr. Coville removed healthy blue
berry plants during the late summer from their
outdoor beds and placed them in a greenhouse,
where the plants were maintained at ordinary
growing temperatures such as would have kept
the plants in luxuriant growth during the spring
and summer months. Despite these ideal en-
vironments the refractory bueberry plants re-
fused to continue to grow, but instead shed their
leaves and shortly lapsed into condition OF
complete dormancy.-Scentihc American.
