Shooting Stars.

Trying Again.

Trying Again.
We gaze and gaze and gaze and gaze.
We hope to gain a fleeing view
OF Life and Truths mysterious ways,
And sometimes we learn something
new.
We walk and walk and walk and walk.
The journey seems to have no end.
And yet we plod and do not balk,
For now and then we meet a friend
We read and read and read and read.
We find at last some tiny hint
That seems to meet our special need,
Well worth the putting into print.
We talk and talk and talk and talk
With seriousness or glee Immense.
We chatter, chirp or squeal or squawk
And sometimes talk little sense.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Phlox divaricata is one Of the lesser
glories of this glorious month.
Its light blue flowers and good foliage
make 1t q great addition to any flower
garden.
1t really has three names - Phlox
divaricata canadensis, the last showing
it's origin. Usually the first two alone
are used, the first, or genus, name,
showing the family, and always capital
lied, wherever used, and the second, or
species, name, always in lower case, in
accordance with scientific Technology.
Fortunately, the home gardener does
not have to bother with Technology
unless he wants to; he is at liberty to
purchase and plant this fine perennial
without knowing single one Of its
names"
This is the happy thing about all
gardening.
It is possible to garden and know, and
garden and know little, yet no doubt the
latter gets as much genuine pleasure out
of the growing as the former. Well,
maybe!
In the garden, as elsewhere, 1t is
mostly matter of personal taste.
should be learned and kept in mind.
If they do not they should be passed
over.
Either way, the flower remains beau
tiful.
whats in a name?" Is the classic
question, with its answer, "A rose by
any other name would be as sweet"
While one may not agree with that
flower is just as pretty, and gives as
much beauty in an average yard,
whether its proper scientific name is
known or not.
The interest in knowing the scientific
names of plants, as we'll as their COM
mon ones, grows with what 1t feeds on.
This is not sort of mental snobbery,
but legitimate interest, since the more
one knows along this line the keener the
desire is to know more.
1t is possible to be a very poor Latin
scholar and still have a real interest
in the form Of classification of flora
and fauna which exemplifies itself large
ly in these scientific names.
Few things give the famous man on
the street" bigger laugh than a long
Latin name, SO used, but after he comes
to know few of them himself he in
variably loses his desire to grin.
He realizes that common names Of
plants, in particular, are likely to be
very misleading, since the same names
are used in different countries even
localities in the same State, for diff
ferent plants.
The same plant may be called one
place the blessed thistle, and in the very
next county labeled the devils thistle.
Take your choice.
On the other hand, the scientific
name is the same the world around. If
we talk of Phlox divaricata, whoever
sees the name, whether he lives in
America, Russia. Germany, France, Eng
land or Africa, can know exactly which
plant, out of all the world of plants is
meant.
Phlox divaricata. once planted. grows

Injustice by Congress to
Disabled War Veterans
To the Editor Of The Star:

10 the Editor OF Inc star:
Since my operation, while in the Army,
on August -, 1918, have been totally
and permanently disabled. In May, 1896,
my claim for war risk insurance was
rejected. The committee reported favor
ably this year a bill to pay in full war
risk insurance to me, and this was again
rejected on May 4, 1887.
These gentlemen do wrong to fight
against disabled war veterans, because, on
the merits of evidence, we are entitled to
recover war risk insurance. I think it
should be mentioned in this paper that q
man by the name of Meta de Rene
McLoskey was killed in the war and vet
payment of his war risk insurance was
rejected.
Those men who kill such bills in Con-
gress do an injustice to us disabled war
veterans that they do not do to others
who need relief.

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton.
Beloved.

Soft moonlight makes me dream of you,
Hot forest fires and Springtime dew,
A mountain dawn, a stormy night,
Fresh rainfall in wet twilight,
A swift-winged plane against the sky,
A bright-winged bluebird flashing by,
Snow in meadow, gales at sea,
A sun-touched river running free,
A blazing log of pungent pine,
A fragrant rose a song divine,
A sparkling brook, a wide lagoon,
Sunrise and midnight, dusk and noon
Wherever loneliness has place
I see the beauty Of your face.

For the first time in the history of
crime" says wise United States attor-
ney, human beings have been doped
like horses" There would be a classic
relaxation In this thought. But horses
have been wicked in their misdeeds since
ancient times owing to the misemploy-
ment of drugs and the failure of a cor
rect human attitude to assert itself.

How many children do ye

How many children do you
know who fail to get good marks
in school? Many seem bright
enough but it is hard to interest
them. Poor attention and lazi-
ness? No, these may be single
talent children. They have abil-
ity to do one thing extra we'll.
The good teacher can locate the
talent, with patience. That is
mining genius.
Schools are opening and a mil
lion or two boys and girls ought
to be encouraged, at the start, to
select what they like to study, or
to do. That is what education is
coming to. No use to cram an
unwilling mind. No use to force
distasteful subjects. Education
must come easily and naturally
along the lines the child is best
suited to advance in. Children
were not created to fit a school
system; but future schools will
be made tc fit the bent of stu
dents.
Too many misfits are the re-
suit of careless treatment at
school, where they were obliged
to absorb what was for them OBJ
noxious data, alien to their type
of mind and ability. Yet, the
world wants talent and ability
and does all it can to ruin it at
the start by rules of rigid con-
formity to the old curriculum.
For the child without memory
capacity, who Tags and fools in
class, there is usually a chance
to excel in some industrial or
work for which he is
both eager and fitted by nature
to do well. Talent is always an
indicator, is that gift God gave
to form the basis of a useful ca
reer. 1t is up to parents and
teachers to compare notes on a
bad student. Nature has equipp-
ed every creature, including man,
to do something well. No man
is a success at a task he hates;
yet talent makes hard work
easy.
