T HEAVY RAINS HAMPER The Castor Oil Plant. The plant which is referred to in the fourth chapter of the book of Jonah as the “gourd,” which afforded shade to the prophet before Nineveh, was the castor oil plant. This plant, a native of Asia, is now naturalized in America, in Africa and in the south of Europe. In India the castor oil plant grows to & considerable height and is almost a tree. In England it seldom attains a height of more than three or four feet. In the United States it grows to three or four times that height in new ground or where cultivated.

Girls Making Own Dresses. Sloux City, Ia.—High school girls of this city are designing and making their own dresses at a saving of from $10 to $25 on each gown. All the girls bave to pay for is the material. Teach- ing them how to make the dresses is part of the education given them in the public high schools.

He Was Farsighted. ~ An ambitious colored man bad quit bis job and was being granted a new one with another concern when his em- ployer asked him if he could be ready to commence work in two weeks. He replied, “I fear it would be difficult for me to be ready in two weeks, but I could be ready in one week shore.” “How's that?” asked his employer. “Well, in one week I can finish de garden work,” wus his answer, “but if 1 is home one week more fe missus DEATH IN CROOKSTON This morning at 2:30 occurred the death of Mathilda E. Gaab, aged 48, at one of the local hospitals of the city. Mrs. Gaab had been a resident of this city for the past 18 years and leaves a host of friends to mourn her loss. Mrs. Gaab was born in Buffalo, City, Wis., January 21, 1869, where early in life she held a position as postmistress for a few years, later teaching school in her home town. On June 12, 1894, she was married to William Gaab of this city, the re- sult of the union being one daugh-: ter, Marie B. Gaab, who survives her mother. Mr. Gaab died in this-city in 1902. Mrs. Gaab is also survived by one sister and three brothers, Mrs. J: Warninger of Bemidji, Fred Rauch of Chevelah, Wash., and Adolph and Charles Rauch, both of this city.— -Crookston Times.

Either of these substances is harmful to plants, specialists in the United States department of agriculture warn. Sweepings from tarred pavements or oiled roads.are likely to contain them. Oil droppings from motorcars often mix with such waste also. If sweepings are collected with some care and before rain or wa- ter from street sprinklers have reached them and washed out the elements of fertilizing valune they can be used advantageously. A specialist. in the bureau of chemistry cites an instance eof damage done to a garden in Maryland, on which unsorted street sweepings from the Dis- trict of Columbia were used. This garden, according to the special- ist, was ruined by the tar prod- ucts In the fertilizer, and it was necessary to resurface the entire plot with new soil. “Where?” oo0o0o00 I the It’s “Why, don’t thought everybody kmew best place to buy jewelry.
