PLANTS THAT STRANGLE TREE Almost Incredible Power Displayed by Vegetation That Seems to Be Almost Negligible, Some years ago an asphelt tennis court was laid down near Harwiclk, England, All went weil at first, The asphalt Was lald as smooth as a bil- lard table and left to set. Next morning there was a bump a8 large as an inverted soup plate in one corner of the court. By midday it had grown to the size of a pudding basin, and then the workmen hacked ‘up the court to see what had caused the mysterious swelling. It was noth- ing more formidable than a mushroom. Even tiny plants are incredibly strong. A little seedling will push its way through several inches of hard soil, and if a stone hinders its prog- ress, the wee plant will thrust it aside. %] Toadstools have been known to push over-a strongly built wooden fence. Sometimes climbing plants kill the trees and bushes which they use as supports. Honeysuckle, for example, clings tightly to the stem of a tree; the tree exerts its enormous force to burst its bonds, but the thin stalks of the climber are even stronger, and in the end the tree dies of strangulation. e o) A government hureati says that the known supply of petroleum in the United States will run out in about 20 years, but the known supply of men who think they know how to make a subsitute seems to be increasing.

A Goodridge man was recently arraigned at Thief River Falls charg- ed with beating his wife until she was “black and blue(” The defendant ad- mitted the deed and stated that he would like to get a divorce so he could be away from his wife, adding that he got “hot” quite often. The result wag that the judge gave him 25 days in the county cooler. ~—Don’t Get Het Up.— It’s A Crime Anyway. Among the Japanese there exists a great prejudice against kissing, which ig looked upon as. degrading. Among the Americans thére exists a great prejudice for kissing, which is sometimes looked upon as de-facing. —Kiss And Make Up.— An Air of Importance. The air breathed daily by a human being weighs about six times as much as the food and drink he consumes in the same period. This is espec- jally true providing the human be- ing has been eating raw onions. —A Significant Air.— A Bright Future. Five of the signers of the Ameri- can Declaration of Independence lived to be over 90, eight over 80, and 10 of 70. Now you can see what a bright future the signers of the Eighteenth Amendment have before them. —And Behind Them.— Boy, Page the Head-Writer!
