mi drmuuncpmrni mil Fpeciai 4TOvipVtn has ben made for the protection of the lavish display from depredations of the thoughtless visitor. "Yosemite's topography, with thousands of feet difference In altitude in places vrlthin hailing distance of each other, makes it possible for the visitor to enjoy flowers of several seasons in a flngle visit," say? bulletin from Washington. D. C. headquarters of the National Geographic society. Climb Spins Floral Calendar. "Leaving the rich San Joaquin valley at Merced for the beautiful trip by train through the canyon of the Merced river, ecarred by the gold diggings of '43. the traveler turns his floral calendar backward with each mile of climbing into th" Sierra Nevada, parsing rapidly from full summer to late eprlner at El Portal, where the official gateway to Yosemite National park is located. A few miles farther, at tne Gates of the Valley that famous spot where. El Capltan stands cn the left. Three Graces and Brldalveil Falls on the right, with a vista of Yosemite, valley between he finds ppring In full glojy. "And on the same day, visitors to Glacier point. 'Just upstairs' from Yosemite valley, on the rim of the granite wall enclosing the valley and 3,254 feet higher, will be out skiing and tobogganing on four feet of snow. "By the time summer gts to Yosemite valley, it is springtime at Glacier point and when summer gets to the point, the Sierra Is enjoying a brief season which passes there for both ppring anl summer, and Yosemite valley has progressed well towards autumn. SnoM-plant Is Park Wonder. "Most interesting of all plants to the visitor is the Fnowplant and no other is so jealously guarded by the park authorities. When word of a new stalk is received, p'.gn is dispatched hastily and erected near it hands off! In its early stages the snow plant i? more like a scarlet asparagus tip than anything else, as it matures, the leaves near the upper end unfold and reveal bells much like those of a hyacinth. The name enowplant is misleading, according to such a high authority as Jepson, who says the plant has nothing to do with snow, and that the name probably originated because It appears early In spring and is likely to be caught In a late flurry, which makes the richness of its coloring all the more conspicuous, causing the uninformed to think that the plant pushed Its way through the new enow. "Contrary to the common assumption, the snowplant is not a parasite, but lives on decaying vegetable matter absorbed through intricately laced white fibers which serve the plant in place of roots. It is unique in that the food absorbed is at once transmuted into the scarlet stalk and leaves, differing from other plants which are veritable chemical laboratories demanding chlorophyl to assist them In digesting thir daily meal. Bloom A loo Melts. "There probably are more than 1.000 different species of flowering plants, shrubs and trees in Yosemite. Some of them, like the mash buttercup, seem to bud beneath the snow and then buret into bloom as soon as the icy covering melts. On the high levels cf the park a thin patch of snow will disappear under the Influence of a hot sun and the patient botanist in a few hours can see buttercups unfolding into full

Curiosities among the park's flowers are the yellow monkey flower and purple elephant head, the former taking Its name from the plaintive and humorous little face outlined on it, while the latter suggests the flapping oars and long trunk of an elephant. "Another interesting plant Is the oulnine bush, the bitter lea of which is used by the Indians as medicine."

Indiana Complete 20.24 Miles of National Road IXDIANAPOL.TS, June lS.Indlana has com.pleted 20.24 miles of the n-ational road th.roug'h this state and has 16.2 milef? under contract. leaving 6 6 milea yet to be, built according to an announcerrjent todaj by Lawrence Lyons, director of the state highway department. Illinois will complete tho national road through its boundaries during the summer Mr. Lyons ray a. The commission's policy is to go slow on building new roads until production costs decline to a reafxnable figure says Mr. Lyons, but it reccognizes the vital importance of expediting this work and the imperative need of bridging gaps in order to bring into utility previously completed sections and to eliminate long and frequent detours. Tie adds that much of this reason's work will be concentrated on the national road coupling up previously constructed sections. Thi work will be augmented by the maintenance of other ttate roads. The Indiana portion of the national road connects the cltier. of Torre Haute. Brazil. PlaJnfield. Indianapolis, Greenfield, Knightstown, Cainbridge City and Dichmond and opens to continuous modern highway travel some cf the riche-st agricultural and industrial regions of the state.

The far east Is getting so modern that one ceases to be amazed at anything that happens there. Dr. Eldon R. James, adviser In foreign affairs, of the Siamese government.

Now In Use That's the best proof of the superiority of this great Reo, In the first quarter of the present year the Speed Wagon out-distanced all makes of motor trucks. It is amazing, the way this pneumatic tired Speed Wagon is displacing trucks not only in the ton and two ton classes but even up to five tons. It fits every business every kind of delivering, hauling and carrying every class of transportation, passenger, freight and express. Truly marvelous is the degree of adaptability and the wide range of usefulness of this Speed Wagon. And though there have been many copies many imitations as to outward appearance none has been able to even approximate the efficiency, the sturdiness and the economy of the Speed Wagon.

Of course If it isn't a Reo it isn't a Speed Wagon." Pric is f. tx. h. Lemming, plot mpcrtzi Federal tax
