Machine Puts on Record
DeUelopment of Plants

A wonderful machine has been in
vented which measures the growth of
plants. A small thread connects the
plant with the apparatus, which con-
sists OF an electrical battery and a
drum which revolves slowly.
Above this drum is a pen worked
by electricity. AS the plant grows
the thread slackens, and causes a
connection between the battery and
pen. The latter drops onto the drum
and makes a mark. At the same time
small rod is pushed up, which tight
ems the string again. Thus the drum
shows the growth of the plant over
a given period, and information is OBJ
tanned showing the effect of heat and
light upon various specimens.
1t has been proved that most plants
grow more rapidly at night, and this
fact has been of great assistance to
those engaged in forcing the growth
of flowers and vegetables.

people headed by the village band

girls followed directly behind the
players. They were in holiday attire,
white waists, neat little aprons, some
in big shoes, others barefooted. They
walked arm in arm with one another.
The boys, also in Sunday clothes,
tfailed after them. They were all
singing In lusty resonant voices an
age-old melody Of a Cossack killing q

sweetheart. 1t was to me beautiful

uedIcinol Vegetables

Curative qualities are possessed by
most vegetables and fruits. Spinach
has a direct effect upon the kidneys,
while onions, garlic, leeks, and shal.
lots contain medicinal qualities
which have a marked effect upon the
circulatory system. A raw onion eat
IN before going to bed is an excellent
remedy for insomnia, while soup made
from onions has a soothing and restor-
alive effect upon weak digestive or
CANS.
Lettuce and cucumbers cool the sys-
tenn; beets and turnips are excellent
appetizers, and celery has such an ad-
mirable effect upon the nervous sys-
tenn that it has been known TO cure
neuralgia and is of great use in rheu-
matte cases. Tomatoes are good for
the liver. Figs, currants, cherries. and
strawberries are cooling and purifying.

cows were sold for dairy purposes.
and 80 Improbable cows went into

Torpedo

1t Is curious that projectile which

derived from the word torpid" But
torpid is the origin of our word tor

designates-lack of motion or feeling
The other is, by association, a kind

After that simple process has been

SHENANDOAH COUNTY

1
/ The institute was held in two
sections for the convenience of the
teachers, one at Woodstock and one al
Mt. jackson.
| During the morning session al
Woodstock DIR. S. P. Duke, President
of Harrisonburg State Teachers
College gave a very interesting and
helpful talk ON Training for Service

outlined the new plan for extension
courses to be given in this and adjoin-
ing counties as there is a demand for
such courses.
DIR. H. j. Hoke, Dean of the Depart
ment of Education of William and Mary
College outlined in very able and in
teresting manner certain phases of the
high school, and grade curriculum. He
stated that the curriculum in any
subject was built up around the idea of
meeting felt need in days gone by
and that as conditions had changed and
were constantly changing it was
necessary to adjust educational
practice and procedure and even the
curriculum itself to meet these new
conditions.
Mr.. George w. Guy, field secretary
OF the Cooperative Education Associ-
alton, spoke to the teachers encourag-
| ing them to lend their heavy support to
the school league work OH the ground
that such support made a rich return
to the school in cooperation and in
creased efficiency aside from the very
substantial financial support rendered
by these leagues.
Supt. Shoemaker made number of
announcements in regard to the work
for the present session and thanked
the teachers for the splendid work be-
ing done for this school year.
The same program was repeated at
Mt. jackson in the afternoon,
In the morning at Mt Jackson al
general session was held over which

on this general session broke up into
a high school conference and confer.
ence for grade teachers Mrs F. NJ

carried out at Woodstock in the p. m
and MIR. Hollingsworth presided over
the general group and Mrs. Mary B c
StIckIey over the grade teachers aud
Mr.. Z. r. Reidel over the high school
teachers. These were round table
conferences and many interesting and
helpful topics were discussed.
MIR. j. C. Hutchinson presided over a
conference of league delegates att
Woodstock and Mr.. A. B. Bushong
over similar conference at Mt. |
jackson. Many important Ieaguel
topics were discussed. An organi-
cation for the entire county was effect
ed and the following officers were
elected Mrs. J. c. Hutcheson, Edin-
burg, president. Mr.. Nehemiah
Kelley, Mt jackson, vice president.
Mrs Robert Riddleberger, Strasburg,
Secretary, MIR. Wade H. Pence, Mt.
Jackson, Treasurer.
This institute as whole appeared TO
be one of the most helpful held inl
recent years.

Experiments made at the Jardin
L'Acclematation de Paris have, accord

most as quick to show signs of dis

Most people know what it is to ar
range two kinds of blossoms in a vase
and then to find a few hours later that
the blooms are dropping. In most
cases this is due to the fact that flow
ers object to being associated with
one another. Separate the blossoms
