CAN GET RID OF BURDOCK

Pest Is Hard to Kill, but One Farmer - Telis of Finding the Plant's - Vuinerable Spot. :

A weed pest of wide distribution particularly obnoxious because of its numerous prickly burrs, is the burdock. Cutting it down doésn't do any good for hurdock develops a root system possessing wonderful vital tenacity, and promptly “comes up” agaln. - .

Like the well-known hero of antiquity whose only vulnersble gpot was on his heel, the charmed%ife which the burdock seems to bear really is only a sembiance. The burdock has {ts enlner able epot, but few know where it is. AD eastern farmer, living in a rural district where the warthless burdock had brazenly lived jts parasitic life for venrs, heppened on to the hur dock's weakness——and burdock censed strrizhtway to be & bad pest on thar farm. e vl This farmer cut, using a bush seythe. the hurdocks Infesting a fence corner. They were flourishing. arrogant hur docks—the kind that grew as tall n< a man nearly and for a brief period in the summer, when the grebn burrs make elegaht balls and cushions, are a delight to the children. o

~This tarmer eyt them all down with A scythe. A few hours later—it was In hot. -dry weather—it oceurred to him

G N e e e g it R RACIAL VIGOR WILL RETURN English Writer of Opinion That Matter May Safely Be Left to Mother ’ " Nature. e - Many_ writers have lald stress upon the fact that Europe, in losing the flower of ‘its youth upon the hattle field. has left only the least fit and most unhealthy to become the progenitors of future races. And they cite the effect of the Napoleonic wars on the physique and stamina of the French. . . :

In answer to these pessimists the scientific editor of the Illustrated Lomndon News writes: i

~ “Against this it may be urged that the recuperative power of nature soon reascerts itself, and no one who has watched year by year up to 1014 (as did the present writer) the yearly reviews on July 14 could doubt that, at the outbreak of the present war, the

Frenchman had more than recovered the tall stature and the high muscular and nervous energy of his forefathers, While, therefore, we must expect a certain falling off in the physique of the. children born between, sav, 1914 and thirty years hence, we may be fairly confident that, given the maintenance of the present standard of living and the absence of any great epidemic, at the end of that time the English race will return to its prewar stagdard of physical fitness.” =~ © Just Occurred to Her. A chil§s prayer has long been celebrated in song and story. Prayers from the youthful lips of faith have ever appealed to mankind. There are few =0 hardened as not to be moved by such prayers, or remember with awe their own lisping of “Now I lay me. down to sleep.” : e i Children also, in their innocence, sometimes, say prayers which are not without their humorous side, and these, too, have been handed down to posterity. In this latter class belongs the following true account of the prayer of a little girl who lives:just on-the other side of the District line in Maryland. , ; ‘ Little Lois was completing her evening prayer at her mother’'s knee. “Amen,” finished Lois, and then, without a pause: - : - “Mamma, has the Lord got a bald head like daddy?"—Washington Star,

Electrification of Seeds.

There appears to be much interest in the electrification of seeds and the application of ' electricity to growing plants. A recent account of work along these lines tells of & new method of aiding plant growth. The seeds, ten or twenty sacki, are placed in tanks provided with iron electrodes at both ends; the electrolyte i{s a solution of sodium nitrate or some other fertilizer. Particularly with cereals—wheat, barley and oats—the yields of both grain. and straw are said to be increased. Some five hundred farmers have taken up the tréatment of the seeds, which is followed by a very careful drying in a kiln. The treatment is applied about a month or two before sowing.—Scientific American. : : » Papuan Oil. Australia and Great Britaln have each undertaken to spend up to $250,000 in connection with Papuan oil development and two British geologists will probably begin work in the immediate future, pursuing the experiments already made by the commonwealth. Papua and the Pacific islands generally are interesting the universities of Australia which are considering the need for the study of anthropology and of native customs and languages. As a groundwork for such an investigation there exist an interesting series of governmental reports by patrol officers and other official ploneers of the new Pacific, P . ' :

WHY DRUGGISTS DIE YOUNG Customers Like This Very Particular Lady Must Be Great Strainon ~ The drug store was filled with wor ried looks—prescription faces Al were eager for quick actfon and the druggist was doing his best to meet all the detiands.

It was the hottest and most ‘ancomfortable day of the summer and the car was even more crowded than usual, fays the Indianapolls News.. Two young women who had done their full share of work for eight long hours, man:nged to squeeze into the car with the rest of the passengers. Of course all the seats were taken. Even a suggestion that some one offer the girls a seat was far from thelr minds. They §tood in the aisle, as good-naturedly as they had done nearly every dav In months past. One can fmazine their surprise when an elderly mian rose to proffer one. of the girls a sent. “Take my seat, lady.” he said, “you look lots more tired than L™ Gratefully, one of the girls sfarted for the seat. A tall broad-shouldered man. was juml ahead of her, . “Naw, yuh dop't,” he snarled, *“I guess I'm nearer* the seat “than you are” and he started to sit down.,

“Well, T guess If you are going to take the seat- I may as well keep 1t until T am ready to get off,” the first man sald, and with that he sat ‘down again. - : . "Two blocks later he got off the ‘car. the tall broad-shouldersd man rushed to the seat, and the young women held on to the straps. = ; - More Than Her Mouth. . ‘Although the groundhogs at the *Zoo™ did their best-to keep the spring day away from that fine park and playzround for the-people, time will bring spring within a few weeks now, at the worst. Time. has a way of making things move, = ' - Although crowds at the National Zoologlcal park have fallen off materially during these cold winter Sundays, nevertheless many visit the park every Sunday. Much attention is given the animals kept indoors, naturally. Thus the mother hippopotamus has her admirers. Recently two small boys, that good sort that shy rocks at cats and sparrows, were standing in front of the hippopotamus cage, watching: Mrs. Hippo eat hay. : *“Look at 'er open 'er-mouth!” sald one boy, lost In admiration. = ~ “Mouth nothin'!"” exclaimed the other, “That ain’t ‘er mouth—R's ‘'er whole head she's openin’ "—Washington Star. : .

: Tomb Was Tramp’s Home. A tramp who had solved the present day problem of where to live by taking up his abode in one of the old Roman tombs at Arles, on the Rhone, gave two Dutch -tourists the fright of their lives. : ~ They had gone out to see the remains by moonlight, when suddenly out of a tomb emerged a human form, which the moon caused to appear exceedingly ghostlike. The tourists fled at top speed for the town, declaring that they had seen a resurrection. The “ghost” was interrogated by the police and will be prosecuted for the French equivalent of wandering without visible means of subsistence.—From the Continental Edition of the London Daily Mail, . : ; : Captain Couldn’t Answer. Master Charles Wymond Potter accomparied his grandfather, Capt, Charles A. Wymond, to the river at Evansville the other day to see that the elevator, boats, barges and coal were all right. s “Grandfather,” remarked Charles, “why do they call dirt mud when it's wet, and dust when it is dry?” No reply from grandfather, who is still thinking about the answer.—lndianapolis News. - . :
