Compass Plant Western Product.

On the prairies and plains of Utah,
Texas and southern Minnesota there
grows a wonderful plant which has
proved useful to travellers wandering
over these vast tracts of country. 1t
is called the compass plant, or pilot
plant, because of p peculiarly in the
growth of the leaves, which grow al
ternately along the stalk, and point
pre- .sely north and south.
The Indians followed the direction
given them by these pointing leaves,
and told the white men about it.
This Plant belongs to the family Of
the Composite, and looks very much
like the sunfiOwer. 1t has a strong,
resinous odor, somewhat like turpen-
tine, and sometimes goes by the name
Of 'turpentine plant"

Did Not Suffer.

In those simple days when men now
elderly turned with boyish thumbs
pages of their copies of McGuffey's
First Reader microbes were known
only by laboratory workers; at least
they had not begun to worry boards
of education. Public school children
did not receive textbooks free of
ton, TO new classes of pupils just be-
ginning to spell out the mysteries and
delights of McGuffey's First. Then
one copy Of a textbook to a family
served each generation, unless the en-
croachment of dog ears, missing pages,
broken backs, compelled purchase of a
new copy for late arrival in the
family circle. Even then the Oldest
child in a family was likely to hide
away his battered copy unless his
mother had already hidden it among
the treasures only mothers keep. Text
books were not then taken from school
daily for home study; school hours
were longer, study hours were all In
the school, other hours were all play
or for the performance of domestic
duties modern youngsters know little
of. From beginning to end of terms
books slumbered in desks when not on
parade.

STRIKE SHUTS COKE OVENS
Thirty-Two Plants Forced to Close in
Fayette County Region Since
Miners Went Out

Pittsburgh. Pa, April 28.-Thirty-
two plants, with 1896 coke ovens,
have been closed in the Fayette coun-
ty coke regions since the coal strike
was inaugurated. April L, according to
the official figures of the Connells-
vile Courier, made public. The loss
in coke production was 84,98O tons
to April %. and the efforts of the
United Mine Workers organizers have
been rewarded since that time by the
closing of a number of additional
plants, indicating that still further
loss in coke production will be re-
ported for the current week.

Short Course to
Start on June IL

Announcement has been made
that the short course In coal min
Ing will be held at West Virginia
University from June IL to july
%, with several of the final days
utilized as the time for holding
the state mining examination In
the t1rst five years of this course,
there was total enrolment OF
twenty-one. Some of these were
instructors, so that the actual
number of outsiders probably did
not total more than ten. The
growth might be noted by the at
tendance figures as follows: 1918,
%; 1919, 81; 1920, GO; 1921, log.
This year the University is plan
ming to have 200 men take the
course. The probable cost Of the
course to the men will be about
$50, plus railroad fares. No
charges are made by the univer-
sity, but the foregoing would COW
er board and incidental expenses.
The year of the mining depart
ment at w. v. U. opens and closes
with the short course in coal min
ing. The instructors find this work
a real pleasure. ! Instructors are
busy from 1880 a. nj. to 1880 NJ.

and other details. Out of the 1906
men who took the course last year
only one man can be regarded as
having failed. Four did not get
certificates, two because they
whiled their time away and could
entertain no hopes of passing, and
third, a mechanic in a Ford
garage, passed the examination,
but could not qualify because Of
his lack Of five years experience
in the coal mines.
West Virginia has been special

two-thirds of the men engaged in
