high school boy really study for
one hour . day than to see him mess
around with his books for three hours
pretending to study. I never expect
to live long enough to see the right
sort Of home study.

bring home my notebook" MY foun-
tain pen has run dry" "The teacher
didn't give out any lesson today"
Tomorrow is holiday and I can
study later" "Ive lost my lesson" II
had no time to copy the questions from
the board" Anyhow, the questions
had been erased before I had a chance
to copy them" II will get up early
tomorrow morning to study"

Schools are to blame in that young

ACH State has chosen \ horal
- emblem. Many Of them are
very beautiful, but only one
~ State has an emblem that
nearly every one is acquainted with,
and that makes its appearance over
the United States once each year,
and Christmas time at that. Okla
holna chose the mistletoe. Beside
yolr own State flower, you can Al
WAYS remember this one.
Mistletoe has many romantic tales
connected with it. There are more
than 400 species Most Of them are
tropical and parasitic. There are
many varieties in the United States
and they range far and wide. You
can see them from New Jersey west
and south.
On your trip to the South you may
see thousands Of trees beautifully fes-
tooned with great punches or clusters
OF them. Some look like witches
brooms and some like .wreaths. No
matter when you see them or where,
you are sure the punches are beauti-
full and laden with waxy seeds. The
trees upon which they grow often
show deep, ugly wounds, where the
mistletoe has flourished at the expense
Of the tree.
True, the plant is parasite. But
IL is using a neighbor as the only
means of support it knows how to use.
Unless it girdles branch, it does little
harm, except the ugly wounds, exposed
after the mistletoe has been removed
Or dies.
The leaves are thick and feshy and
almost nerveless. The seeds always
put out their tiny roots toward the
tree branch, and it does not make any
difference whether the seed is on the
upper or the lower side Of it.
The beautiful waxy seeds are be-
loved by the travelling bird army. 1t
IL they who transport the seed chill
dren from one destination to another.
There Is sticky substance in the
coat Of the berry that holds fast to
the feet Of the bird. When the trav-
eler rests upon q branch en- route the
berry holds fast to the rough bark.
In the nature myths Of the Scan
dinavians there is a story Of how the

vow of protection. He coaxed Balder's
brother to challenge Balder to an ar
row contest. and the brother to use
an arrow made Of mistletoe. Balder
was killed.
The mistletoe was then presented
to the goddess Of love. She, wishing
to remove the curse. ordained that
whoever passed beneath the mistletoe
should receive q kiss as a token Of
love, and not revenge, and that is why
we hang the plant, with its exquisite
wax berries. over the door today.

Mistletoe (Phoradendron favescens).

mistletoe came to be used as an en-
blem of love. It seems there was .
very handsome man, named Balder,
whom the gods especially favored. He
represented light and purity. One
night he dreamed that calamity of
some sort threatened him, and he told
his mother Of this dream. She, In her
great love for him, went about placing
everything and everybody under oath
to protect him. But 1t seems she OVER
